Walking the Talk – Internal Programs to Promote Sustainability
Sustainable development is one of the four Strategic Guidelines of BASF.  Our corporate culture emphasizes the importance of taking initiatives to contribute to improved sustainability through providing products for green, high performance construction and embracing sustainability in our operations and as individual employees.

		We encourage our employees to implement sustainability practices in our facilities, and in their daily lives. Our employee outreach program is titled iEco, and through this program we work to educate our employees on how they have a direct positive impact on the environment.. “Green Teams” at each company location regularly introduce new practices designed to contribute to a smaller footprint.

		Our Shakopee, MN facility was awarded LEED EB O&M certification by the USGBC in August 2009. We continue to work to improve our facility, and believe that as a supplier of products and solutions to this market, our work to certify and constantly improve our building illustrates our commitment, and allows us to more fully understand what it takes to participate in green and sustainable construction and renovation projects.
