BASF now members of independent consortium

BASF recently announced that it is the first chemical company to become a member of The Sustainability Consortium, an independent organization of diverse global participants that work collaboratively to build a scientific foundation that drives innovation to improve consumer product sustainability. The company joins other retailers and consumer product manufacturers that have become members of the Consortium and its product life cycle mission, including social and environmental considerations.

"At BASF, we are committed to leading industry toward greater sustainability, transparency and responsible interaction with both the environment and society," said Kurt Bock, CEO, BASF Corporation. "The mission of The Sustainability Consortium aligns well with that commitment -- we are pleased to join a coalition of companies and individuals similarly dedicated to the advancement of sustainable consumer products and supply networks."
