Employees and Society

Employees forming the “best team” are the foundation of our excellent performance and ensure our long-term success: their skills, commitment and motivation make BASF competitive and fit for the future. This belief is seen in the tangible efforts and resources we put into the development of the employees as well as into company sponsored activities to strengthen the team. As of the end of 2017, BASF in Greater China had a total of 8,982 employees (2016: 8,805).

Through social engagement at BASF, we aim to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through two approaches: Corporate Citizenship and Starting Ventures. Through our not-for-profit projects, we improve the quality of life of the communities around our sites and worldwide. We also initiate business-oriented projects to improve the quality of life of low-income consumers and value chain partners in developing and emerging countries.
