Our comprehensive network, comprised of 34 designated site security managers across the country, is interconnected through various innovative means. These include the Annual Security Conference, monthly Security Forum, EHS Webinar, and Regional Security Teams Channel, which provide regular updates from the global security community, facilitate the exchange of best practices, and share lessons learned from incidents. Through an open and agile communication approach, this network effectively addresses a wide range of security topics encompassing both physical security and cyber security, while promoting efficiency and collaboration.
At BASF, we protect our employees, sites, plants, and proprietary information from unauthorized access.
The early detection and prevention of security incidents can be greatly enhanced through heightened security awareness. To foster such awareness, various of initiatives have been implemented to promote security consciousness and encourage incident reporting. These initiatives include the implementation of customized security surveys for employees, site security managers, and site managers, in order to gather diverse perspectives and feedback. Additionally, we are actively promoting the use of a regionally developed online portal called ‘See Something, Say Something’, which facilitates the easy and swift reporting of any potential security breaches.
Over the last two years, the geopolitical conflicts intensified, bringing more challenges for company to keep traveling employees safe. This conversely underlines the importance of duty of care on behalf of employers who are morally and legally obligated to preserve the health, safety, and security of employees also while traveling. In this context, Corporate Security has achieved an important milestone in 2023 by adjusting our travel security concept and joining forces with a leading crisis response and global protective solutions firm.
