Responsible Sourcing Report

BASF cares about sustainable supply chains. Sustainability begins at the source and carries through along the entire value chain, so responsible sourcing is a key element of our sustainability strategy. BASF sources a wide range of raw materials, technical goods, and services. Our suppliers are an important part of our value chain, and together we are committed to increasing the share of renewable ingredients in our portfolio. We are also driven to improve sustainability in the supply chain and minimize risks. We are actively engaged in a range of initiatives to foster sustainable farm practices and enhance the wellbeing of farmers and workers.

As part of BASF's commitment to improve sustainability along the entire value chain, the company is working with trusted partners to improve sustainability not only in the oil palm supply chain, but also in other crops. The company has increased its range of certified sustainable products and the RSR is expanding its focus beyond palm (kernel) oil to include coconut oil, castor oil and bio-based materials. 

Sustainability, digitalization, innovation and new forms of collaboration are the most important cornerstones of Care 360° - Solutions for Sustainable Life.
