7 Verbund unique competitive advantage Actively managed in line with market requirements Geismar Antwerp Ludwigshafen Nanjing Freeport Kuantan. Combined heat and power plants and integrated energy Verbund avoided 6.6 million tons of CO 2 emissions in 2016 Synergies in logistics and infrastructure, minimization of waste > 1 billion of cost savings per year BASF SRI Story, November

8 Waste management BASF Verbund helps to prevent and reduce waste Global waste volume 2016 (million tons) Recycled or thermally recovered Incinerated or disposed of 1.3 Waste is managed based on the following hierarchy: 1. Avoid 2. Reuse 3. Recycle 4. Energy recovery (e.g., waste-to-energy incineration) 5. Other incineration 6. Disposal such as above-ground or underground landfills BASF SRI Story, November

9 Resource efficiency Responsible use of carbon sources We are committed to resource efficiency and climate protection BASF uses carbon raw materials responsibly: 80% of carbon converted to products, 19% consumed for process energy and converted to CO 2, 1% waste 1 Comparisons with European emissions trading benchmarks show that our chemical plants operate at above-average energy efficiency 22 million tons of CO 2 emissions by BASF worldwide in 2016 compared to million tons p.a. for one coal-fired power plant Bild Customers use of BASF s climate protection products sold in 2016 avoided 540 million tons of CO 2 equivalents (thereof 11% attributable to BASF) 2 In 2017, BASF achieved CDP leadership status once again 1 BASF carbon mass balance calculation (2015, non-audited) 2 Based on the chemical industry standard of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) BASF SRI Story, November 2017 and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) 9
