Our contributions to enable the green transformation

TripleS and Sustainable-Future Solutions

TripleS is BASF’s strategic tool for steering its product portfolio towards a more sustainable future. It enables transparent and consistent evaluation across a wide range of sustainability criteria - including transformation areas like Climate Change & Energy, Resource Efficiency, and Circularity.

Corporate carbon footprint

BASF has published a comprehensive corporate carbon footprint since 2008, the only industrial enterprise worldwide to do so.

Product Carbon Footprint

BASF already offers thousands of products with reduced or even zero carbon footprint (PCF) in its broad portfolio.

Supplier CO₂ Management Program

In our Supplier CO₂ Management Program we work together with our suppliers to create transparency on the Product Carbon Footprint of our purchased raw materials and jointly define and implement concrete reduction measures.

Product Responsibility

We are constantly working to ensure that our products do not pose any risk to people or the environment when used responsibly and properly.

The purpose of Eco-Efficiency Analysis is to harmonize economy and ecology. This involves carrying out an overall study of alternative solutions to include a total cost determination and the calculation of ecological impact over the entire life cycle.
