8 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 prevented 6.5 million tons of CO 2 emissions in 2017 Synergies in logistics and infrastructure, minimization of waste > 1 billion of cost savings per year 8

9 Waste management BASF Verbund helps to prevent and reduce waste Global waste volume 2017 (million tons) Waste is managed based on the following hierarchy: 1. Avoid Recycled or thermally recovered Incinerated or disposed of Reuse 3. Recycle 4. Energy recovery (e.g., waste-to-energy incineration) 5. Other incineration 6. Disposal such as surface or underground landfills 9

10 Resource efficiency Responsible use of carbon sources We are committed to resource efficiency and climate protection BASF uses carbon raw materials responsibly: 82% of carbon converted to products, 17% 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 23 million tons of CO 2 emissions by BASF worldwide in 2017 compared to million tons p.a. for one coal-fired power plant Customers use of BASF s climate protection products sold in 2017 avoided 570 million tons of CO 2 equivalents (thereof 6% attributable to BASF) 2 In 2017, BASF achieved CDP leadership status once again 1 BASF carbon mass balance calculation (2017, non-audited) 2 Based on the chemical industry standard of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) 10

11 Energy efficiency Greenhouse gas emissions halved and volumes of sales products doubled since 1990 Greenhouse gas emissions (indexed 1 ; base 1990) % 48% Specific greenhouse gas emissions per ton of sales product declined by 75% (status 2017) since goal: Reduction of specific greenhouse gas emissions per ton of sales product by 40% versus 2002 (status 2017: 35.5%) goal: Introduction of energy management system ISO at all relevant sites 2 (status 2017: 54.3% of BASF s primary energy demand) % Volumes of sales products Absolute GHG emissions Specific GHG emissions 1 BASF Group excluding Oil & Gas; International Financial Reporting Standards 10 and 11 since 2013; figures for 2012 restated; no restatement for 2011 and earlier 2 Representing 90% of BASFʼs primary energy demand 11
