Welcome to BASF PETRONAS Chemicals’ Verbund Site Report 2011

BASF PETRONAS Chemicals is pleased to present the third report on its environmental, social, and economic performance, including information from 2007 to 2011. As a joint-venture of two US Fortune 500 companies, BASF SE and PETRONAS, under the PETRONAS subsidiary PETRONAS Chemicals Group (PCG), which are both committed to sustainable development, BASF PETRONAS Chemicals publishes this online report annually.Please note that these figures shown here are for the Integrated Chemical or ‘Verbund’ Site which consists of both BASF PETRONAS Chemicals and Toray BASF PBT Resin.

For our joint shareholder BASF SE, sustainable development means integrating environmental protection and social responsibility in business processes so that they contribute to long-term economic success. The sustainability strategy has the goal of avoiding risks, promoting our existing business and creating new business opportunities. “We Create Chemistry For Sustainable Development” is more than a tagline, it is a way of life.

This is reflected in their tagline “Chemistry for Growth”
