1 Sustainability at BASF

2 BASF The Chemical Company We create chemistry for a sustainable future Our chemicals are used in almost all industries We combine economic success, social responsibility and environmental protection. Sales 2011: 73,497 million EBIT 2011: 8,586 million Employees (as of December 31, 2011): 111,141 Platzhalter für Bild In 2011, BASF filed for around 1,050 new patents worldwide 6 Verbund sites and around 370 production sites 2

3 Sustainability a crucial issue for our future. AVAILABILITY RESOURCES DEMAND + Planet annual regeneration capacity We consume more than the Earth can regenerate Demand of Earth resources Fonte: Accenture. 3

4 Demographic challenges set the stage for the future of the chemical industry Nine billion people in 2050 but only one earth Resources, Environment & Climate Food & Nutrition Quality of life Chemistry as enabler 4

28 AgBalance TM - Measuring sustainability in agriculture Based on its long experience with Eco-Efficiency Analysis and SEEBALANCE, BASF has developed AgBalance, a method to measure and assess sustainability in agriculture. As a provider of agricultural solutions, BASF aims to increase knowledge about sustainable agriculture and contribute to a fact-based dialogue, as well as using these insights for developing innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers. In AgBalance, a variety of indicators and weighting schemes enabling BASF to evaluate sustainable practices in a holistic manner along the entire food value chain. To achieve this, 69 indicators, each linked to one of the three pillars of sustainability (economy, environment and society) are calculated through an assessment of almost 200 evaluation factors. Therewith AgBalance allows the comparison of different farming systems, agricultural enterprises, processes and products, by identifying weaknesses, their drivers and potential solutions
