enormous global challenges to us. Innovative strategies turn challenges into opportunities,
especially in the chemical industry: BASF’s products and solutions will contribute to
conserving resources, ensuring healthy food and nutrition, and improving quality of life.
Sustainability and innovation will be significant driving forces. Three selected case studies
show how BASF collaborates in the field of nutrition and health with its customers to
produce consumer goods more sustainably.
