Sustainability
Our Philosophy
We want to contribute to a world that provides a viable future with enhanced quality of life for everyone. We do so by creating chemistry for our customers and by making the best use of available resources. To optimize our contribution to a sustainable future, we measure the overall impact of economic, environmental and social aspects of our business activities with our value to society methodology.
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time, we thus aim to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
Our polyurethane and isocyanate products are part of the climate change solution, and we have created a suite of products to meet customers' carbon neutral goals.

Our Sustainable Products
BASF’s certified 100% Biomass Balance (BMB) MDI & TDI products enable you to transition from fossil-based to renewable feedstock-based raw materials – reducing your CO2 emissions and fossil resource usage.
Our BMB MDI and TDI products are certified according to globally recognized ISCC PLUS and REDcert² standards and have the same properties as virgin products, so requalification and reformulations are not necessary.
Best of all, BASF’s BMB solutions are the most economical approach to transitioning to more sustainable products. There is no need for dedicated tanks, special equipment, or changes to your supply chain.
And with all our BMB certified MDI and TDI produced right here in the United States, BASF provides the confidence you need to scale up your sustainable production.
