Employees

Our employees are crucial to BASF’s success. We want to attract talented employees, support them in their development and retain them for the long term — in a working environment that inspires and connects. This is founded on an open corporate culture of mutual trust, respect and dedication to top performance.

The “Winning Ways” strategy is our plan for BASF’s long-term business success. As part of this strategy, we are driving development toward a performance culture.  After all, we can only achieve BASF’s targets with a high level of engagement from our skilled employees and leaders. With our adequate and competitive compensation, we want to contribute to attractive working conditions at BASF and thus attract and retain engaged employees.

The health and safety of our employees is our highest priority and forms the basis of our corporate responsibility and our license to operate. However, working in a chemical company entails potential health and safety hazards, which we address with policies and actions.
