Public Relations Communication

We connect people: the diverse world of corporate communications.

Trust contributes significantly to business success – and it is based on open and clear communication. We are firm believers of this fact. And this is why all our communications must at all times be comprehensive, consistent, and above all credible. Credibility is the most important value of our organization and our globally connected team secures its implementation. Our task is to inform about corporate objectives, visions and decisions, new products, applications, and markets. We also keep the public up-to-date on the latest research news from BASF. Our staff of course, also expects to be kept fully informed about decisions and rightly so, and we ensure that they get any news first.
