Sustainable Development

In 1992, at the United Nations Environmental Conference in Rio de Janeiro, the international community agreed on the principle of Sustainable Development. The aim is to meet today’s economic, ecological and social needs without compromising the development prospects of future generations. As a 100% subsidiary of BASF group, BTC is also committed to the principle of Sustainable Development.

With our products and services, we contribute to solving problems related to an increasing world population, rarefaction of natural resources, the degradation of ecosystems and growing differences in living standards. BASF has thus centered its long-term aim and action on this idea of sustainable development and environmental protection.

• By resolving problems and being innovative, BASF takes into account the interests of future generations whilst answering to the needs of the current generation.
• Ongoing profitable performance based on Sustainable Development is the basic requirement for all of our activities. BASF is committed to the interests of its customers, shareholders and employees and assumes a responsibility towards society.
