Strategi

The chemical industry is a great business to be in, connected to almost everything. It is an essential part of our daily lives and at the root of almost all industries. Enabling our customers’ green transformation is the source of our motivation and will be the key driver for our profitable growth.

Our ambition: to be the preferred chemical company to enable our customers’ green transformation.

We will continue to be a company with a strong, broad portfolio of chemical businesses. This is what we are known for. It’s also what makes us most relevant to customers globally, across a wide variety of industries.

We want to inspire our customers to make us their partner of choice. So that they’ll choose us every day as the chemical company they work with and buy from. A trusted partner in creating their future success.

Our customers and their needs are at the center of everything we do. Everyone at BASF strives to create the best experience for them. Everywhere, every day.

Our product and process innovations allow our customers to innovate and grow in their respective markets. Our scientists and engineers make amazing things possible.

All our customers will transform their business models toward a lower CO₂ and more circular world. At different speeds. With different priorities. Our ambition goes beyond making BASF green: We will also enable the green transformation of our customers’ businesses. This will be the key driver for our profitable growth.

Video: We are bringing BASF on its winning ways

By delivering superior offerings to our customers, we want to grow profitably and create value for shareholders. Our winning culture will be a key enabler for the successful execution of our strategy.“

Markus Kamieth

CEO BASF SE

The playing field in the chemical industry is changing – so are we. With our new strategy, we are targeting value creation and are changing toward a performance culture. Four winning ways will make our ambition a reality and put BASF on a renewed path to success.

Focus

Our new strategy sets a clear focus on the management of BASF’s portfolio. Going forward, we will differentiate between our core businesses, consisting of the segments Chemicals, Materials, Industrial Solutions and Nutrition & Care, and our industry-specific standalone businesses Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions, Battery Materials, Coatings and Agricultural Solutions. We will apply different value-creation levers to strengthen and profitably grow our chemical core and to unlock the value of our standalones. A new approach to capital allocation based on clear portfolio roles of our businesses will improve capital discipline and cash generation. Enhancing the footprint of our core businesses in China, India and ASEAN will contribute to our future success.

Learn how our strategy sets a clear focus on the management of BASF’s portfolio.

Accelerate

We will simplify and accelerate how we get things done – for example by sharpening roles, by establishing flatter hierarchies, and by dissolving the regional dimension of our organizational structure. To improve our performance, we will further increase the entrepreneurial freedom of our businesses – and with it their accountability for business success. Harnessing AI across the company and in all functions will drive productivity, improve profitability and accelerate innovation.

Learn how we use artificial intelligence to make our systems more efficient and safer.

Transform

We remain fully committed to our climate protection targets and the green transformation of our operations and product portfolio. Going forward, we will focus even more on products with sustainability attributes, where we see customer demand ramping up most. Building on the unique advantages and opportunities of our Verbund, we will increase volumes of recycled and bio-based feedstocks to drive Sustainable-Future Solutions and net-zero measures at scale. Like BASF as a whole, our largest site in Ludwigshafen will benefit from the change and growth momentum connected to the green transformation. Our goal: To transform Ludwigshafen into a leading, sustainable chemical site for Europe and a strong pillar for BASF’s success.

Learn how we enable the transformation of our customers with customized solutions.

Win

We have the best team in our industry – with great competencies, strong shared values and mutual respect. To ensure BASF’s long-term success, we will further develop our company culture. Stepping up accountability, increasing speed and nurturing a mindset of continuous improvement are at the heart of our Winning Culture. Nine actionable Winning Behaviors define the behavior that we expect all our employees to demonstrate and show in a concrete way how each and every individual can contribute to successful change.
