Energy

Climate change is a societal challenge. Innovative solutions developed by BASF contribute to protecting our climate, and we also work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our value chain. Energy efficiency plays a key role in this context.

Artificial Intelligence

When it comes to expediting digitalization at BASF, research and development play a key role.

Environment

BASF has a solid history of success in the area of environmental protection. We act responsibly and value the health and safety of people and the environment. 

Circular Economy

Circular economy means decoupling growth from resource consumption. BASF is driving circular economy by making the most of the limited resources of our planet: We keep them in use for as long as possible, minimize waste and create value with renewable resources.
