Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development influences BASF's business operations on three levels: it minimizes risk, boosts business and helps generate new business. Sustainable Development is a basic requirement for long-term success for us and for our customers.​

BASF embraces Sustainable Development as a core strategic guideline because it balances economic growth, environmental protection and social responsibility.

As an integral component of our decision-making process, Sustainable Development:

• Drives innovations in chemistry that improve the quality of life
• Presents market opportunities for eco-efficient products and practices that result in long-term profitable performance
• Promotes the utilization of natural resources in a way that meets the needs of the present while ensuring that the needs of future generations are met
• Offers the opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership for the users of our materials, which includes helping make products cleaner and safer, but without compromising performance
