  • How much water does BASF use in 2025?
  • Water consumption in 2025 amounted to around 67 million cubic meters (2025: 69 million cubic meters). In 2025, around 25% of our production sites were located in water stress areas (2025: 25%). These sites accounted for 1% of BASF’s total water abstraction (2025: 1% 3).
  • How much water does BASF use?
  • Water consumption in water stress areas accounted for 15% of BASF’s total water consumption in 2025 (2025: 17%) and was primarily attributable to evaporation in cooling processes. Wastewater in water stress areas accounted for less than 1% of BASF’s total wastewater.
  • What is BASF doing in 2025?
  • For instance, we completed the third expansion phase for the BASF Innovation Campus in Shanghai, China, at the end of 2025, with new laboratories for advanced materials and systems as well as for chemical engineering. The number and quality of our patents also attest to our power of innovation and long-term competitiveness.
  • What percentage of BASF's production sites are located in water stress areas?
  • In 2025, around 25% of our production sites were located in water stress areas (2025: 25%). These sites accounted for 1% of BASF’s total water abstraction (2025: 1% 3). In water stress areas, we mainly source water from third parties (79%) and largely cover our demand with freshwater.
