Both strategic goals and clearly-defined principles are a prerequisite for long-term business success. Our standards are laid down in our Values and Principles. These Values and Principles form our commitment to conducting business responsibly. We apply these Values in our day-to-day business and as a result, strengthen the trust of our employees and partners in our activities.
Six Values describe our approach and how we reach our goals:
- Sustainable profitable performance
- Innovation for the success of our customers
- Safety, health and environmental protection
- Personal and professional competence
- Mutual respect and open dialog
- Integrity

These Values are binding for all BASF employees. Each Value is illustrated by principles that state how we conduct ourselves in day-to-day business. Executives, in particular, must serve as role models in ethical matters, and therefore, observance of our Values and Principles form part of the targets agreed with all senior executives in the BASF Group.

Code of Conduct
We introduced a Code of Conduct throughout the BASF Group in 2000 based on our values. Our Code of Conduct takes into account legislation at the national level as well as the functions and cultural environment of each Group company. Where appropriate, it is supplemented by guidelines and additional information. Employees who are responsible and who act with integrity are essential for BASF. Legal violations affect a company’s reputation and shake the confidence of business partners, therefore integrity is an important aspect of risk management at BASF.
