Describes ESG integration

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability integration is an important practice for business today. This practice consists of incorporating ESG factors into your organisations’s ambition, structure and practices of doing business to build long-term growth and a more sustainable future for the company and its stakeholders. ESG integration can include a variety of different practices, such as reducing carbon emissions, using renewable energy sources, and implementing corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Reports sustainability performance

Sustainability has been integrated into our corporate strategy since the early 2000s. Since 2003, we have been reporting our sustainability performance along GRI standards. We provide a fully integrated report every year that brings our financial and non-financial results into one picture. Sustainability is a top priority at BASF, and we regularly discuss these topics in our board meetings.

Held stakeholder conference

BASF addressed this by holding a large stakeholder conference in July 2023 with the motto ‘Going Green Fast and Fair’. We brought together BASF leaders and experts with a broad set of external stakeholders from business, science, politics, and civil society. We broadcasted the event internally and followed up with similar events across all regions to involve as many employees as possible across all levels of management.

Launched D&I survey

Last October we launched Blackbaud’s first Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging survey. We asked employees how they felt about important aspects of their experience at our company – their thoughts on diversity and inclusion, their sense of belonging, etc. That survey established a critical baseline that we can use to benchmark our progress in the future.
