Creating a great place to work

At BASF Australia and New Zealand, we aim to create a great place to work and offer our employees a commitment to diversity and inclusion and a dedication to safety, health and environment. Through our community partnerships, we also aim to improve the quality of life in the corresponding regional surroundings of our sites for everybody – neighbours, employees and their families.

Community engagement
_{We're proud to give back to the communities we operate in through the following programs and partnerships:}

BASF Kids' Lab

BASF runs an annual Kids’ Lab program to encourage an interest in science and chemistry from an early age by conducting fun, hands-on experiments. The program is conducted in partnership with leading universities across Australia and New Zealand.

Science Gallery

BASF is proud to sponsor the Science Gallery Melbourne's mediator program, a new thought provoking art-meets-science exhibition set to inspire the next generation of innovators.

The Smith Family

BASF is a community partner of The Smith Family, a children's charity helping Australian children from disadvantaged backgrounds to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves. Through this partnership, BASF has donated more than $600,000 since 2007.

The scholarship for Australian-German student exchange

To foster the exchange between Australia and Germany, BASF supports the Scholarship for Australian-German Student Exchange. Each year, the society awards scholarships to Australian students to travel to Germany during their summer holidays.

Corporate Volunteering

We support our employees giving back to the community through a range of corporate volunteering opportunities with our community partners.

Learning and development

We believe in fostering an environment that supports life-long learning. We are committed to developing our people so they continually learn new skills and offer a range of programs to support this.
