Sustainability

Management, goals and dialog

We carry out our corporate purpose “We create chemistry for a sustainable future” by pursuing ambitious goals along our entire value chain. In this way, we aim to achieve profitable growth and take on social and environmental responsibility. As part of our responsibility, we engage in networks and stakeholder dialog.

Management

We have set voluntary long-term global goals in the areas of economy, environment, safety, employees and society. Through these goals, sustainable development at BASF is transparent and verifiable.

Networks

Dialogue between different stakeholder groups on local, national and international level is necessary to promote and advance sustainability. Networks are therefore of major importance, they bring together the competences of different players.

Stakeholder Dialog

A fixed component of our sustainability management is the continuous exchange with our stakeholders. In 2013, in order to involve our stakeholders more intensively, we established the independent Stakeholder Advisory Council.
