Diversity & Inclusion in Geismar

At our Geismar site, diversity and inclusion are top priorities.

We offer numerous Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to ensure our employees feel like they belong and have the opportunity to network with people who share similar interests.

BASF also provides a Quiet Room in which employees of all faiths or no religious affiliation at all are welcome to utilize for prayer, meditation and the opportunity to seek calm.

The Geismar sites have three Mother’s Rooms available for complete with a refrigerator. This area is private, quiet and includes counter space and a cozy chair.

As we continue moving forward, we are learning of additional needs required to create a welcoming and comfortable work environment for everyone.

We're All Accountable

An inclusive work environment that values the diversity of our employees’ talents, experiences and ideas leads to more innovation and higher performance for our customers. BASF’s focus on people has helped establish a culture that attracts, develops and retains diverse talent.

How We Advance D+I

From key partnerships with universities and associations to employee resources groups, mentorship, and work in the community, BASF is not just talking the talk – it is walking the walk of a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Attracting Talent

We seek the best talent from all sources – leading universities, business connections, trade associations, national diversity conferences, partnerships to hire veterans, and referrals from our own employees.
