Climate change is one of the most fundamental challenges of our time. Our innovations contribute to reducing emissions. At the same time, chemical production is very energy-intensive and produces CO2 emissions.

BASF is committed to the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement and we act:

  • Compared to 2018, we want to reduce our volume of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 25 percent by 2030.
  • Our 2050 target is net zero emissions. To reach that goal and stay competitive, we are reinventing our processes and technologies – a complex challenge, which we can only tackle jointly.
Energy and Climate Protection at BASF
Alarming scientific results from the Arctic, increasing number of extreme weather events – the effects of climate change can be observed worldwide. Leaning back and ignoring the facts is not an option. On our journey to a more sustainable and climate neutral future we are setting ourselves ambitious targets.
Our Carbon Management
We want to live up to our responsibility for climate protection by becoming more efficient, using electricity from renewable sources and developing new low-emission technologies.

Choosing the most sustainable product with the right carbon footprint
Our products can reduce emissions and make life more sustainable. But how sustainably was the BASF solution produced before it was delivered to our customer? This question can be answered by the “Product Carbon Footprint” which enables our customers to select the most climate-friendly solution.
