Social Engagement

Promoting diversity in all its forms is very important to BASF Coatings. As a company that centers around research and innovation, we are mainly committed to promoting science education. This entails getting children and young people interested in science, as well as identifying and enabling their individual careers.

Further elements of our engagement

Promoting sport for all with TuS Hiltrup
TuS Hiltrup is the sporting home for many of our employees and their families, along with children and young people in the area. The club teaches children and young people in particular to enjoy sports – and to understand the importance of being active to offset the time they spend on sedentary activities. Encouraging this awareness from a young age is a cause very close to our hearts. That is why we have been a partner and sponsor of Münster’s largest sports club since 1981, focusing on sport for all.

BASF school triathlon
We want to encourage children and young people to enjoy being active from a young age, which is why we support the BASF school triathlon. The event is all about having fun while being active – there are no winners and losers. Other sponsors and organizers include the elementary and secondary schools in Münster, the Wasser + Freizeit association, the City of Münster and TuS Hiltrup.
Social engagement by our apprentices
ZeitStifte-Tag (time donation day) 
Every two years, FreiwilligenAgentur Münster (Münster Volunteer Agency) holds the ZeitStifte-Tag (time donation day), when our apprentices spend a day working for a good cause. In the past, for example, they got their hands dirty with environment protection charity NABU-Münsterland and visited the zoo with the residents of a retirement home They decorated bird houses together with the St. Clemens day center for the elderly and supported the Studiowelle Hiltrup hospital radio station, to name just a few of the diverse projects they have helped with.
Münster Industrial Association
Together we are stronger
Together we are stronger – and that is why we joined Industriegemeinschaft Münster (Münster Industrial Association). Münster-based industrial companies from various sectors all get together to make a difference in Münster and the wider region. By holding various events, we have set ourselves the goal of providing insights into our product range and the wide range of career prospects that we offer as industrial companies in Münster. We are also involved in other local projects. For example, together with 24 other companies and private individuals, we donated a total of 60 linden trees to be planted on the promenade in Münster to replace those damaged by a storm in 2014.
