  • 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.
  • 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 does BASF do about sustainable water management?
  • BASF’s global network of experts shares information, insights and best practices around the responsible use of water on an ongoing basis. Introducing and implementing sustainable water management has been a cornerstone of our strategy for many years now.
  • How can BASF reduce the demand for water?
  • In 2025, we were able to inaugurate a tanker and a ship for transporting specialty chemicals, which are optimized for low water levels and are for the exclusive use of BASF. Further measures at our sites are aimed at reducing our demand for water, for example, through recycling and intelligent cooling water systems.
