BASF South-East Europe Sustainability Conference 2024

Enabling the green transformation of our customers

Conference in Budapest, Hungary

The BASF South-East Europe Sustainability Conference was held in Budapest!

As a chemical company, we are at the beginning of the supply chain. By reducing our carbon emissions, we enable our customers to decarbonize a large part of the raw material footprint. Our partners face numerous challenges in achieving their sustainability goals. Our aim is to be the preferred chemical company to enable our customers’ green transformation and support them in achieving their goals.

During the conference program, we heard many exciting presentations not only from BASF speakers but also from representatives of the government, industry, and business sectors. Topics included the competitiveness of the European chemical industry, the COP29 climate summit in Baku, and a panel discussion where we learned about the experiences and opinions of other industry players regarding the region's situation, competitiveness, and future prospects.

We can only achieve change together, and innovation is essential for this.

Thank you to our speakers for contributing to the success of the event!
