BASF has a solid history of success in the area of environmental protection. But we don't want to stop here - we want to continue to work to protect people and the environment. That is why BASF has set itself the long-term global goals.  |
 |
Climate change is one of the main challenges faced by society. Industries, science, politics and society need to curb further increases in greenhouse gas emissions and make efficient use of available resources. Innovative solutions developed by BASF contribute to protecting our climate.  |

Our efficient processes pay off for the company and the environment. We contribute toward the success of the company by achieving higher product yields in our plants. And that’s also easier on the environment: We use fewer resources and reduce both emissions and waste.  |
 |
We are responsible for ensuring that our products are safe and do not pose a danger to people or the environment when they are used responsibly and in the manner intended. Therefore we practice continual improvement and information.  |

 |
 |
Safety comes first. It is the foundation for the trust that employees and the public place in us. The best way to achieve this is for all employees to take responsibility for themselves and for their colleagues.  |

For every new plant at BASF, we evaluate the risks, develop safety, health and environmental protection concepts and check that they are implemented correctly. Compliance with these steps is laid down in a guideline that is binding throughout the BASF Group.  |
 |
We want to be as well prepared as possible in the event of accidents and emergencies. Our global Emergency Response Management System provides the best possible access to expertise in the field of emergency response throughout the BASF Group and for our partners.  |

 |
 |
We want to ensure safe transport, handling and storage of our products. We want to achieve this through reliable logistics partners, global standards and an effective organization.  |

The 1992 Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro showed that companies can make an important contribution to biodiversity and its long-term benefits. BASF meets its responsibilities above all through local initiatives.  |
