We are In Action
-
I. Our continuous pursuit of sustainable innovation
Resource Recycling: We insist fully utilize of resources, reduce waste, derive maximum value from products, recover and regenerate products and materials, and utilize products and resources in an optimal manner throughout the entire value chain, maximize the use of raw materials.
Green Chemical Process: We Adhere to the principles of greening raw materials, greening processes and greening products. For human health and the ecological environment, we avoid and reduce the use of toxic and hazardous substances from design, insist manufacture and apply chemical products and adopt innovative processes to improve atomic economy and reduce three wastes and hazardous substances.
Green Materials Program: Based on the structural properties of materials and users' needs, we develop, replace and upgrade materials, and use greener and more environment-friendly solutions in production, processing and use of materials, we are practicing the concept of chemistry for a better life.

III. We Lead The Way To a Virtuous Cycle Of Resources
Energy saving: We insist on performance assessment and energy saving projects as our basis, and technical transformation and lean as the auxiliary means to realize the effective cycle of cost reduction and efficiency of the enterprise. By optimizing the heat exchange network from the early stage of project design, matching the utility engineering, selecting high-efficiency equipment, and monitoring and analyzing the causes of discrepancies in the operation process in a timely and effective manner, we achieve the maximization of energy utilization.
Energy Cycle: A circular economy means decoupling economic growth from resource consumption. BASF promotes a circular economy by making the best use of the earth's finite resources by maximizing its useful life, minimizing waste generation and creating value from renewable resources.

IV. We Procure Responsibly
Procurement digitization: By establishing a procurement digitization platform and applying big data and artificial intelligence technologies, we provide comprehensive support for enterprise operations and decision-making, improve the efficiency of procurement operations and the level of procurement management, and we will build a global procurement platform centered on customers' needs.
Recycling of raw materials: We commit to the procurement of recyclable packaging materials, increase the proportion of recyclable packaging, promote the use of environment-friendly materials, and save the consumption of resources. We have established a raw material recycling management mechanism to enhance the reuse of raw materials, for example, the recycling use of catalyst.
Supplier Management: Together with TfS organization, we promote supplier sustainability assessment, evaluate and manage supplier's CSR performance, gradually improve supplier's sustainable development level, and reduce the sustainable risk of AICO's purchasing supply chain. With the help of digital means, we realize the effective monitoring of supplier's performance, and improve the level of AICO's supplier management.
