    ♾️ On #OurPlasticsJourney in Tangier, Morocco, we brought customer centricity to life. At our first event dedicated to Engineering Plastics and Polyurethanes, we were not just rethinking how we MAKE, USE, and RECYCLE plastics, we were showcasing what that future looks like, today. By bringing together key industrials and our partners AMICA - Association Marocaine pour l'Industrie et la Construction Automobile and the UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic, we explored advanced BASF Performance Materials solutions tailored for the moroccan market. The event featured deep-dive discussions on sustainable technologies, emerging application trends, and collaborative opportunities to shape the future of plastics in North Africa. 🎥 Watch the video to experience the energy and ideas in action! Let’s keep the momentum going. #OurPlasticsJourney

    Following our initial announcement as a proud partner of the Humanitarian Caravan Bouvier Rallye, we are pleased to spotlight some of BASF’s Morocco contributions to this initiative: the installation of three solar panels and solar-powered water pumps. This system now provides clean, reliable water access to the local community of Merzouga city (Southeastern Morocco), powered entirely by the sun. This initiative reflects BASF’s broader commitment to sustainability. We invest in solar parks, offshore wind farms, and green power agreements to power our global operations. These efforts support water-related applications by ensuring clean energy for treatment, pumping, and industrial processes. We also supply high-purity salts for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems, enabling energy storage and continuous water access, even when the sun isn’t shining. More updates will follow, highlighting other aspects of our support to the Caravan and the impact we are making together. 🔗 Visit our websites to learn more about our Storing Sunshine project in Morocco and our Sustainability initiatives for Water Management: Storing Sunshine: https://rb.gy/3cq6el Water Sustainability: https://lnkd.in/exUXWGiK

    CEO of BASF

    First things first: BASF will start buying back shares as of November 2025. Initially planned from 2027, this is a considerable acceleration. But that's not the only news. In the past weeks, we also made big progress in unlocking value from our standalone businesses and solidly performed in a persistently low-demand environment – slightly better than analysts had expected. Here are my key points from the past quarter. As always: to the point in two minutes and three hashtags 👇 #makeitcount #WinningWays

    May Layers Give us Eggs - Legehennen, die uns Eier schenken, ist ein Starting Ventures Projekt der BASF. Es soll Mangelernährung bei Kindern im nördlichen Thailand bekämpfen. Zu diesem Zweck bekamen 15 Schulen in ländlichen Gebieten insgesamt mehr als 4,000 Legehennen. Die Schüler:innen lernen, wie man sich artgerecht um die Tiere kümmert und sie füttert. Durch die Verwendung der Eier im Schulessen wird nicht nur eine nachhaltige Lebensmittelversorgung gewährleistet, durch den Verkauf der Eier wird den Schüler:innen auch landwirtschaftliche und unternehmerische Praxis vermittelt. #StartingVentures #basf #socialimpact
