business development 2010

BASF achieved record sales and earnings in 2010. The chemicals business in particular benefited from the strong economic recovery in 2010, which was more dynamic than we had initially anticipated. In the first half of the year, demand was additionally driven by inventory restocking in key customer industries. There were temporary supply bottlenecks for some chemical products. Higher raw materials costs could largely be passed on to customers. In this favorable market environment, margins improved for numerous products. Compared with 2009, sales increased by 26% to 63,873 million. Income from operations improved by 111% and amounted to 7,761 million.

BASF Asia pacific Strategy
BASF ASiA pACiFiC StRAteGY
An interview with Dr. Martin Brudermller, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of BASF Se, responsible for Asia pacific
how did BASF perform in Asia pacific last year? I am very proud that the Asia Pacific region was a very strong contributor to our record year for BASF in 2010! For the first time, we broke both the 10 billion sales and the 1 billion EBIT mark in the region. What progress has BASF made towards its Asia pacific Strategy 2020 goals? We are making excellent progress. With our Industry Target Groups and Customer Target Groups, we have already identified around 600 million in additional sales potential by 2012. To ensure we can create innovations for Asia, from Asia, around 500 BASF employees at 12 sites in the region now work in research and development. In particular, 2010 marked the ground-breaking of our first Innovation Campus Asia Pacific, which will be located in Shanghai. To help us expand our local production, we have invested 2.4 billion in facilities in Asia Pacific over the past five years. And we have announced major new investments across the region. We have already achieved 90 million in annual savings through our Asia Pacific Site Optimization project. how does BASF develop its employees to meet the 2020 goals? Employees are at the heart of our strategy. During the past year we have launched a package of career development initiatives to ensure we can both recruit and retain the best team in industry. These initiatives include the establishment of the BASF Asia Pacific Institute for
Corporate Leadership, the upgrading of our career development program, and the launch of a formalized mentorship program. In particular we aim to further develop international career opportunities for our top local employees. What is the role of india in BASF Asia pacific Strategy 2020? In our Asia Pacific Strategy 2020, we have identified India as one of our major growth markets in Asia. In 2010, sales to customers in India crossed the 1 billion mark for the first time. With its two R&D centers in Mumbai and Mangalore, India also plays an important role for us in achieving our objective of providing more innovation from Asia for Asia. Both centers are part of our Global Technology Platform, making India one of our key hubs for research and development in the region. With our investments, we are also further improving our position to benefit from the strong growth in India. In 2010, we set up two new manufacturing plants in Thane and in Mangalore in order to help our local and international customers become more successful.

BASF Asia pacific Strategy 2020 Through 2020, BASF aims to grow on average two percentage points faster than the Asia Pacific chemical market each year. To meet this ambitious goal, which would double regional sales by 2020, the company has developed the BASF Asia Pacific Strategy 2020. This strategy is based on a combination of growth and new business initiatives. In Asia Pacific, BASF will organize its sales efforts around key industries in order to grow faster than the market. The company has established an initial set of industry target groups where it intends to become a preferred supplier, including the automotive, construction, packaging, paints and coatings, and pharmaceuticals industries. We will increase our headcount by at least 5,000 from approximately 15,000 which were employed at the end of December 2009. At the same time, we will double the number of employees in research and development between 2009-2020, especially at our two major R&D clusters in China and India. In our two challenging growth markets, China and India, we have set up dedicated recruitment centers to help us hire the talents we need. BASF plans to generate 70% of regional sales from local production, investing 2.3 billion between 2011-2015. Simultaneously, we aim to create further efficiency improvements that are expected to save 150 million annually by 2012, for example, by debottlenecking production and by exploiting technical synergies. BASF has a long tradition in India with a presence going back more than a century. India is one of the key markets for our Asia Pacific strategy.

Sustainable buildings
Sustainable construction reflects the principles of sustainable development in the site, design, building, maintenance and occupation of buildings balancing economic, environmental and social aspects.
With our solutions, we aim to help reduce the environmental impact of a building over its entire lifespan, while optimizing its economic viability and the comfort and safety of its occupants. In 2010, BASF India took a leading role in the promotion and development of a local sustainable construction industry.
Adding momentum to green buildings In India, the Confederation of Indian Industry has set up the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), which has introduced the green building rating system LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in collaboration with the US Green Building Council. BASF has a multi-faceted presence in IGBC: as an active member; as a representative on the Steering Committee of the annual Green Building Congress; and as a committed participant in this Congress. We have also installed a permanent display booth at the IGBC Center in Hyderabad to provide members of the local construction industry firsthand information about solutions that can help their projects achieve a higher LEED rating. In 2010, we were actively involved with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) which has set up a national rating system called Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment, a green building design evaluation system recognized by the Government of India. BASF supports contractors, planners and architects who use our sustainable solutions to create green buildings with higher ratings.

360-degree insulation solutions: from design to installation India is strongly promoting energy conservation. The energy regulating body of India, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, which focuses on energy usage in construction and housing, has introduced a rating for energy conservation. BASF, with its leading insulation and waterproofing solutions, is enabling planners and developers to construct more energy efficient buildings through total insulation systems to improve the overall energy efficiency by offering total thermal insulation and water-proofing for the building envelope using a combination of products from across the diverse areas of expertise polyurethanes, foams, dispersions and construction chemicals. BASF technical experts supervise and ensure that these solutions are executed as per the best engineering practices. The products which are adapted to local needs and available across the country reduce the environmental impact right from transportation of this lightweight material. thermocretetM the lightweight insulation concrete In India, 80% of buildings have flat roofs, making it necessary to have an overlay to ensure rainwater drainage. Conventional systems, such as brickbat coba or mud phaska, meet drainage requirements but are time, labor
and material intensive. BASF has introduced ThermocreteTM, a combination of cement, sand and expanded polymers (Styropor beads) and RheoFIT admixture. This roof overlay is 60% lighter than brickbat, reduces the weight on the structure, has eight times better thermal insulation compared to brickbat, and is faster to construct. ThermocreteTM is an innovative combination of products stemming from two BASF competencies; construction chemicals and foams, locally designed and developed for India. The S.E. Asia headquarters of World Health Organization (WHO) in New Delhi is an ideal example of efficient and practical usage of ThermocreteTM. Adding a fresh breath to paints Fumes that are released during the painting process are called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In order to create a better environment for workers and residents, BASF offers Acronal ECO as a binder for paints. With this technology, odor-causing impurities are removed but the functional properties of the paint remain. With the introduction of Acronal ECO, no-smell paints are helping people all over India benefit from the comfort of low VOC and low odor. The extended durability of the paint also leads to better aesthetics and long-term protection.

BASF is helping Indias rapidly modernizing population find a better quality of life.
From health to nutrition, Indias new generation of consumers are demanding a better, more sustainable way of life. Chemistry plays an important role in making it possible.
new generation packaging solutions A better way to package tea The tea gardens of Assam in North East India are known for some of the worlds finest tea leaves. After plucking, these leaves are processed near the foothills, after which they make a long journey to the packaging plant. Traditionally, the leaves were packed in jute bags. However, jute is not very effective in retaining the aroma of freshly processed tea leaves. BASF Indias Packaging Industry Target Group introduced an innovative solution for the bulk packaging of tea leaves: polyamide bags. Polyamide bags have excellent aroma retention property and are puncture resistant, thus preventing spillage or wastage. This solution has already met with success. BASFs innovative plasticizer hexamoll DinCh For transparent films used in diverse sensitive applications such as fruit wrapping, textiles, toys and medical devices, BASF has introduced an innovative plasticizer Hexamoll DINCH. It is phthalate-free and helps manufacturers and exporters comply with regulatory standards such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances) in Europe. One of Indias largest tea manufacturing brands, Hindustan Unilever, has started using these polyamide bags as part of a pilot project. This innovative solution from BASF will enable tea marketers to offer their end customers a superior aroma when sipping their favorite cup of tea.

Shaping the agricultural landscape with Samruddhi Samruddhi helps indian farmers The market for crop protection products in India is growing at a rapid pace. Farmers are interested in information on the best agricultural practices to increase crop yield and quality. BASF is helping farmers through its Samruddhi program (English: Prosperity) which focuses on enhancing yield and quality of crops grown by farmers. In 2007, the program started with Soybean and Potato farmers. In 2010, we extended Samruddhi to Onions. In 2011, the plan is to extend it further to Tomato and Groundnut. Samruddhi is a success story for all its partners.
During 2010, participating farmers achieved an average increase in soy production yield by 30%. Today we are working with more than 170,000 farmers helping them select the best agricultural practices, ideal seed varieties as well as best fertilizers and effective crop protection technologies to ensure a good harvest. Through Samruddhi, farmers perceive BASF as an important Partner in Progress.
I have been cultivating soybean for the past 12 years, and have started using the Samruddhi way of farming two years ago. I learnt about the proper time of fertilization and adequate spacing in soybean farming. Through this knowledge, I experienced an increase in yield from 15 to 35 kilograms, per kilogram of sown seeds. With the increase in profits, I have been able to buy a tractor and a thresher, and also fit a borewell in my farm. With BASFs constant support, I hope to be a big farmer someday. - Vijay Singh Raghuvanshi, Soybean farmer, Madhya Pradesh, India
By 2050, more than 9 billion people, 40% more than today, will live on Earth. The growing population and rapid urbanization will put heavy pressure on industry sectors like health & nutrition, housing & construction, energy & climate protection and mobility. BASF is working to create innovative solutions to address these megatrends.
In 2011, BASF is extending its Samruddhi program to new crops such as Tomato and Groundnut.

to operate, to focus on key tasks and to work with a passionate team and realize the synergies of the integration. - Ajai Gupta From a lateral entrant to a successful growth story I joined BASF with over 13 years of experience in the industry. As an experienced entrant, I was not only looking for constant learning and growth but also benchmarking it with the industry. Over the years, I have realized that BASF is not only a great organization for people to begin their careers but equally rewarding for those who join midway. In the past six and a half years, I have worked in three different divisions of BASF Dispersions, Care Chemicals and Nutrition & Health. This transition allowed me to interact with different industry segments. There are few organizations that facilitate such movement across different business lines. Experience also came to me from the variety in work exposure from Sales & Marketing to Strategy to Business Management. With these movements across industry segments, across varied roles, I have been able to apply the learning and model of one business into another business, bringing in positive change. - Paramita Sarkar From Trainee to Business Director Working in my current responsibility, as a team member of the Intermediates division of BASF in South Asia, I look back with great pride to the time spent in my previous assignment with our paper chemicals business, where we built a team with a humble beginning and went on to become market leaders within six to seven years.
After many successes, including being part of a capacity expansion project and 11 years, I got the opportunity to expand my horizon with my current portfolio. I am now a part of the team that identified a roadmap for growth in Intermediates and has successfully implemented this in the last four years. The investment of BASF into my career development and the companys view of looking at its people as a resource rather than an expense make me feel valued and honored. The best part of being with BASF is that I get a chance to lead and influence, with help from my team, and to reach out to a significant portion of the chemical industry. - Vivek Bapat From Campus Interviewee to a Leader in making I know it is a chemical company, but dont you think mechanical engineers are required everywhere? I still remember my first statement during the interview with the head of manufacturing at BASF and it seemed to work. My journey started in 2006 as a management trainee and in the last four years, I have already changed two cities, three locations and three job profiles within BASF. The experience has been enriching. Whenever work was challenging, there was always someone to motivate and appreciate. I believe that freshers and new employees always look for guidance and an open environment where their views are heard. The work culture of BASF and a receptive management encourage youngsters to participate in the decision-making process. - Anup Pandey
