Sustainability
Our ambition is to create a sustainable battery materials value chain for electric vehicles
Electromobility is one of the key solutions to merge the global desire for individual mobility and the need to significantly reduce local emissions, especially in combination with renewable energy.
As a global leading supplier of battery materials for lithium-ion batteries, we aim to contribute to sustainable battery materials value chain and make electromobility a practical reality for everyone.
Promote reduced CO2 footprint in the battery value chain
Electromobility can only be successful in reducing climate impact of transportation if greenhouse gas emissions are managed well along the entire value chain.
We are determined to provide innovative high-performance products with a minimized CO2 footprint along the battery value chain.
We develop cathode active materials with a higher energy density leading to less materials consumption for batteries and enabling a longer driving range of cars. Leading production technologies ensure efficient use of energy and resources.
A low-carbon energy mix at our Schwarzheide site and our recycling capabilities power our ambition for lower impact CAM production and enable the circular economy.
Recycling and circular economy
For us, circular economy is much more than waste management. A smart circular economy concept should integrate product design, development, production processes, use and re-use systems and materials right from the beginning.
Together with our partners along the battery value chain, we foster the production and use of responsibly produced recycled raw materials in the battery market.
We source responsibly
Electromobility is one of the key solutions to merge the global desire for individual and sustainable mobility.
As a global leading supplier of battery materials for lithium-ion batteries, we aim to contribute to source battery materials responsibly to have a positive impact on the people working in our supply chain.
Initiatives
We are working in initiatives like Global Battery Alliance, ReCharge and the Battery Pass Consortium to develop trustworthy sustainability measurement and reporting for batteries, promote sustainability in the value chain and foster collaboration within the industry.
At BASF, we aim to be the preferred global CAM supplier to enable our customers’ electromobility transformation.
We are fully committed to fulfill our customers' sustainability ambitions, driven primarily by responsible sourcing and solutions for low carbon footprint.
