Change for climate

It's people making the change for climate happen

Every small action moves us towards big change. That’s why everyone at BASF, no matter where they are or what they do, is making climate protection a priority. Alongside big projects like reducing CO2 emissions, wind and solar farms, electrification of our factories and helping customers reduce their carbon footprints, our employees are making personal changes to protect the climate too. It's this drive, and these brilliant people who are helping to fuel a much bigger transformation. We call them our "Change Makers".

Charlie: A second chance for change

What if you could turn your passion into a force for good? After a life-changing personal experience and a desire to use his work to protect the climate, Charlie embarked on a project to deliver water to parts of the world where it is scarce - using solar-powered drip irrigation. This transformative new system uses 40% less energy while supporting food security in communities that desperately need it.
