For BASF, sustainable development means combining economic success, social responsibility and environmental protection. In 2021, BASF launched a climate neutrality roadmap, announcing the goal of achieving net zero global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Since then, many bases and products around the world have successively obtained the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC).
What is ISCC?
ISCC is a sustainable development certification system covering the entire supply chain of biomass raw materials and renewable energy. It is an internationally recognized mass balance method certification scheme. ISCCPLUS acts as a sustainability certification for plastics, chemicals, food and feed and biofuels outside the EU and UK.
BASF has obtained multiple ISCCPLUS certifications
Recently, BASF announced that specific brands of plastic additives in its brand VALERAS® have obtained the International Sustainability and Carbon (ISCC) PLUS certification, allowing customers to choose more sustainable products without affecting performance. Sustained antioxidant. VALERAS™ covers sustainable solutions in the plastic additives portfolio. With VALERAS™, BASF can provide valuable sustainable solutions for the plastics industry, thereby achieving the goal of saving fossil resources and reducing costs for customers.
