Sustainability at BASF
Chemistry for a sustainable future
We understand sustainability as an integral part of our strategy, goals, governance processes, and business models. We remain firmly committed to our climate protection goals in the future as well. Our ambition goes beyond the green transformation of our own production: since our key customer industries face enormous challenges in achieving their transformation goals, we aim to be the preferred chemical company that enables the green transformation of our customers through our diverse portfolio and our product and process innovations.
Chemistry for a sustainable future
We want to contribute to a better world with enhanced quality of life for everyone. That is why we have firmly anchored the three pillars of sustainability – the economy, environment and society – into our corporate purpose, our strategy, our targets and our operations. They are the core of what we do, a driver for growth and an element of our risk management.
We believe that chemistry has a critical role to play in achieving greater sustainability. We are determined to move forward in this respect.

The new Creating Chemistry issue is out now!
The fourteenth issue of BASF's sustainability magazine Creating Chemistry is dedicated to the megatrend of mobility and explores the question of how we can move toward mobility that is socially more inclusive and kinder to the planet. And there are many more stories waiting for you!
