私たちの目標と2022年目標達成状況

For us, business success tomorrow means creating value for the environment, society and business. That is why we pursue ambitious targets along our entire value chain. We report transparently on target achievement so that our stakeholders can track our progress.

Our objective is profitable growth – we set ourselves the following targets up to and including 2023: We want to grow sales volumes faster than global chemical production, further increase our profitability, achieve a return on capital employed (ROCE) considerably above the cost of capital percentage and increase the dividend per share every year based on a strong free cash flow or at least maintain it at prior-year level.

これからの社会において、ビジネス上の成功とは、環境や社会、そして自らの事業において価値を創造することを意味します。私たちは、グローバルなバリューチェーン全体にわたって、野心的な目標を設定しています。顧客、投資家、社員、その他のステークホルダーがその進捗状況を確認できるように、透明性の高い情報開示を実践しています。

 

私たちは利益ある成長のために、世界の化学品生産を上回るスピードでの販売量の拡大を実現し、収益力を高め、資本コスト率を大幅に上回る投下資本利益率(ROCE)を毎年達成するとともに、好調なフリー・キャッシュフローを背景に一株当たり配当金を毎年増額していきたいと考えています。

In addition to these financial targets, we have set ourselves broad sustainability targets. We want to considerably reduce our CO2 emissions in the coming years. In addition to the targets for reducing our emissions from production (Scope 1) and the purchase of energy (Scope 2),1 we set ourselves a new target for our purchase of raw materials (Scope 3.1)2 in 2023. We have also added Scope 3.1 emissions to our net-zero target for greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As part of this target, we are working to strengthen sustainability in our supply chains and use resources more responsibly.

We want to align our product portfolio even more strongly with climate protection and the circular economy. To achieve this, we have further updated the methodology used to assess our product portfolio against defined sustainability criteria and defined a new target figure for products with a particular contribution to sustainability.

We want to further improve safety in production and since 2023 we have been reporting according to a new system that focuses on high-severity work-related accidents and incidents.

We also aim to increase the number of women in leadership positions and create a working environment in which our employees feel that they can thrive and perform at their best.

The objective of these targets is to grow profitably, and at the same time, contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are focusing here on issues that we as a company can influence – especially SDG 2 (Zero hunger), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (Climate action).

Most important KPIs

BASF sets itself ambitious targets along the value chain. Two key figures were of particular importance for 2023:

  • Return on capital employed (ROCE)
  • Absolute CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2)

These most important key performance indicators (KPIs) were the main indicators used to steer the BASF Group up to and including 2023. We also use ROCE for employee incentivization, while the achievement of targets for reducing CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) influences the compensation of members of the Board of Executive Directors and senior executives.

From the 2024 financial year, we will establish two new most important key performance indicators at financial level besides CO2 emissions in order to focus more strongly on the short-term value creation of the BASF Group: The following financial key performance indicators are therefore relevant for 2024:

  • Income from operations before depreciation, amortization and special items (EBITDA before special items)
  • Free cash flow

ROCE remains relevant for steering in the medium term and for incentivization.

1 Scope 1 and Scope 2 (excluding the sale of energy to third parties). The target includes greenhouse gases according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which are converted into CO2 equivalents (CO2e). The baseline year is 2018.

2 Scope 3.1, raw materials excluding battery materials, services and technical goods, excluding greenhouse gas emissions from BASF trading business. Future adjustment of the baseline in line with the TfS guideline possible depending on the availability of further primary data, among other things. The baseline year is 2022.

BASFでは、こうした財務上の目標に加えて、幅広いサステナビリティ目標も掲げています。今後数年間でCO2の排出量を大幅に削減し、製品ポートフォリオを気候変動対策および循環型経済により合致したものに転換させていきたいと考えています。これを実現する ために、策定済みのサステナビリティ基準をもとに製品ポートフォリオの評価手法を刷新し、2023年からその適用を開始する予定です。 また、サプライチェーンにおいてもサステナビリティの強化を図り、天然資源の責任あるかたちでの利用を推進しています。生産における私たちの目標と2022年目標達成状況 、安全性のさらなる向上も目標のひとつです。さらに、社内におけ る多様性の促進と、社員が最高の力を発揮して活躍することができ るような労働環境の創出も目指しています。

 

この目標への取り組みを通じて、私たちは持続可能な将来に向けた 事業運営を行うとともに、国連の持続可能な開発目標(SDGs)の達 成にも貢献していきたいと考えています。私たちは、企業として影 響力を発揮することができるような課題への取り組みに力を入れて います。特に、SDG 2(飢餓をゼロに)、SDG 5(ジェンダー平等を 実現しよう)、SDG 6(安全な水とトイレを世界中に)、SDG 7(エネ ルギーをみんなにそしてクリーンに)、SDG 8(働きがいも経済成長 も)、SDG 12(つくる責任つかう責任)、SDG 13(気候変動に具体 的な対策を)に注力しています
