Message from Management

At BASF, we look upon our EHS activities not as finite entities or final destinations, but rather, as ongoing responsibilities and evolving components of our commitment to achieve sustainable businesses through continuous improvement in this area. We act in a responsible manner and support the Responsible Care® initiatives. Economic considerations do not take priority over safety and health issues and environmental protection.

Vision

We are the industry leader in EHS practices and performance.

  • The safety and health of people is paramount. This is the foundation of our beliefs.
  • As "The Chemical Company," we lead by example. We are the embodiment of responsible behavior in the industry.
  • A "Zero Incident Mindset" is the cornerstone of our culture.
  • Sustainable development is integral to our business strategies.
  • Every individual in our organization demonstrates commitment to our Values nd Beliefs. Together, we "walk the talk."

Values and Beliefs

Because we believe a zero incident mindset is fundamental to EHS excellence, we embrace these five fundamental beliefs:

  • The health and safety of people is valued above all else. All incidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses can be prevented.
  • Zero incidents is our goal. We are committed to the protection of people, the environment and the community.
  • EHS excellence is a fundamental component of business excellence, as are quality, productivity and profitability. They are mutually supportive and must be made an integral part of everything we do.
  • EHS excellence is mainly the result of attitudes and beliefs of people. Most incidents occur because of the actions of people.
  • EHS excellence is everyone's responsibility. Each individual is responsible and accountable for his or her own well-being, and for the well-being of others.
