Our Sustainability Strategy

For our customers’ green transformation, we supply them with products that contribute positively to sustainability, for example through their reduced carbon footprint.

Our reported sustainability targets apply worldwide and refer to the BASF Group as a whole. Our strategic approach covers the entire value chain, from the responsible sourcing of our raw materials to safety and resource efficiency in production all the way to more sustainable solutions for our customers.

As part of our strategy, we are channeling our efforts into high-growth markets. For example, we want to expand our organizational structure, production sites and R&D activities in China and India. We are continuously optimizing our organizational structures, production sites and R&D activities worldwide.

Our Verbund concept¹ is based on the integrated linking and steering of our plants. The Verbund creates more efficient value chains – ranging from basic chemicals to high value-added products – while enabling a more resource-efficient, carbon-optimized and reliably controllable production process. By-products from one facility are used as raw material elsewhere, for example. This saves raw materials and energy, avoids emissions, lowers logistics costs and leverages synergies. At the same time, the Verbund offers many opportunities to use renewable and recycled raw materials. Going forward, we want to better leverage this potential.
