BASF’s Post

At BASF Inorgnics we have also started the journey towards a sustainable future for our customers. Our customers can expect from BASF the consistent and innovative products they always received. At the same time, they increasingly demand for sustainable solutions which combine environmental and social responsibility with running a profitable business. Therefore, sustainability is an intrinsic part of BASF’s corporate purpose: We create chemistry for a sustainable future. This ambition also drives us at Inorganic Chemicals to constantly further develop our products and production processes. Together with our customers, we create and drive sustainable solutions as we know: Sustainable business is good business! Climate protection is the biggest global challenge we face today. At BASF Inorganic Chemicals we are deeply committed to constantly reduce the carbon footprint of our products and of our customers.

Understanding carbon footprint from cradle to grave is key to progress towards low carbon future

We need CO2 reduction all along the value chain to really achieve #NetZero2050. Events like this are important to connect, to collaborate and work together towards this common goal.

Reflecting on our #sustainability journey in the past two years, I am really pleased and proud of how our team is embracing this #transformation. At BASF Monomers, we now have many “sustainability black belts” and they are driving numerous projects. It’s a community that coaches and helps each other so that the transformation is meanwhile self-accelerating.   The result is most impressive: we launch new sustainable products every month while our #CO2 emissions decline every year.   Products with a reduced carbon footprint are now available in all our value chains. Here are some examples: ·       Isocyanates: https://lnkd.in/eazebYHf ·       Polyamides: https://lnkd.in/e-mX25dQ ·       Inorganics: https://lnkd.in/ejbqmpXB ·       Amino resins: https://lnkd.in/e_QQQZSi    And there is more to come. Last year, we certified new sites according to ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification and REDcert GmbH in North America, in Europe and in Asia. In parallel!   Other colleagues certified one of their tollers (the first toller certified in our division) as well as their share in a Joint Venture (also a premiere in our division).   It was a busy year. A big thank you to my colleagues who pushed all these projects and activities on top of their work in our lean commodity division. You are giving great examples for the BASF purpose: #wecreatechemistry for a #sustainable future. #together #team #circulareconomy #netzero #innovations #innovation

At BASF Coatings, we firmly believe that #sustainability is not just a buzzword - it is part of our fundamental commitment of addressing the challenges we are facing. Sustainability is therefore made a driving force behind everything we do.   How are we tackling this complex issue? By collaborating closely with our stakeholders and focusing on three key levers: 💡 Climate protection 🌱 Eco-efficient technologies 🔬 Responsible chemical management   Our approach extends along our entire value chain. We are prioritizing responsible supply chain practices and continuously pushing towards improving our own processes and solutions.   We are dedicated to developing differentiating solutions that help our customers progress toward their sustainability goals. This includes: ▶️ Actively pushing emission reductions through technologies addressing industry needs ▶️ Enabling contributions to increase eco-efficiency, supporting our customers' environmental efforts   In the coming weeks, we will share examples of our actions along our value chain on this LinkedIn channel.   We would love to hear your thoughts.
