BASF Care Chemicals announces the second Care 360° Sustainability Days

  • Live on Screen: Care 360° Global Sustainability Days from November 11 to 13, 2025
  • Global customers from Personal Care, Home Care, I&I, and Industrial Formulators are invited to explore industry-relevant sustainability topics and identify opportunities to generate value.
  • With four different sessions led by sustainability professionals and industry experts, the Care Chemicals division wants to collaborate with customers to achieve fundamental sustainability goals.

Ludwigshafen, Germany – October 20, 2025 BASF's Care Chemicals division is hosting its second Care 360° Sustainability Days event, which will take place from November 11 to 13, 2025. Following the success of the first event, which focused on the European market, this year's event is aimed at customers from all over the world, with the ambition of exploring sustainability topics and opportunities in various industries.

“We are delighted to extend this innovative event format to all Care Chemicals customers worldwide. Only by working collaboratively can we actively shape a sustainable future,” explains Dr. Matthias Maase, Director Global Sustainability, Care Chemicals, BASF. “We develop solutions with beneficial impact on the environment and society that meet evolving consumer and market demands."

The Care 360° Global Sustainability Days will begin with a cross-industry session exploring how renewable carbon solutions, adaptable chain-of-custody models, and solid data standards can support customers in achieving their climate goals. Attendees will learn how Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and data exchange frameworks turn ambition into concrete action and will get an overview of the latest carbon accounting methods to guide clear, confident net‑zero strategies.

The industry-specific sessions will address topics relevant to the individual business areas of Care Chemicals. Personal Care will focus on the integration of sustainability as the new baseline and how the business unit supports its customers in achieving outstanding cosmetic performance or sensorial excellence at the same time.

For Industrial Formulators customers, BASF will discuss the relevance of the product carbon footprint (PCF), its precise calculation, and the communication of this data. Participants will learn how digitalization enables reliable, automated data and facilitates access to information for customers.

 A dedicated session for the Home Care and I&I Cleaning industries will demonstrate how sustainability is integrated from creating molecules to designing and developing formulations. The session will cover core sustainability topics, including biodegradability, product carbon footprint, and labelling, and will illustrate practical implications for product development and market positioning.

All sessions will be held in English and broadcasted live from BASF's Customer Experience Center in Ludwigshafen. Participants are invited to join virtually and ask questions.
