BUSineSS develOPment 2009

In 2009, our business was shaped by the economic crisis and the integration of Ciba. As forecasted at the beginning of the year, sales and earnings were significantly below the previous years level. Sales declined by 19% to 50,693 million, while income from operations decreased by 43% to 3,677 million. Despite the difficult business environment, we only narrowly missed our goal of earning our cost of capital. The capacity utilization at our plants was at a historically low level. Demand recovered, however, over the course of the year, in particular in Asia. Our measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency were effective and contributed significantly to stabilizing earnings and increasing cash flow to a record high.

Building a better future by growing sustainably even in challenging times
Dear Stakeholders,
The year 2009 will be regarded as one of the most challenging years in recent history. It came with its share of perceived setbacks, gloomy forecasts and financial pressure. Yet by the end of it, we have emerged stronger with renewed faith in our abilities, our belief in growing sustainably and our proactive approach. Sensing the unpredictable market scenario early on, we streamlined our operations, undertook drastic cuts in discretionary expenses and optimized our resources without compromising the safety, social or ecological perspective. Concurrently, we strengthened relations with our customers by generating innovative solutions that gave them a competitive edge in the adverse market scenario. We continued to connect with our current and prospective customers through various touchpoints including trade fairs, seminars and exhibitions. The year also proved to be a test of our resolve. There were several strategic decisions, which could have been postponed citing unfavorable market sentiment. However, we decided to walk the talk and successfully completed these major projects. These include the Ciba integration, sale of the Dadra site, company restructuring and shifting of the country head office from Mahindra Towers to Bandra-Kurla Complex.
I am proud to say that our journey of sustainable growth has been led by the sheer determination and can-do attitude of our most important asset, our employees. In the true spirit of everyone counts, our employees came together to learn, lead and implement thought processes and procedures that eventually made the difference. The following pages will give you an overall perspective of how BASF India weathered the storm and emerged stronger from the year 2009. As we speak, Indias economy is taking the right turns and the signs of stability and upturn are already visible. While times change, I do believe, our chemistry with success will continue.

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 from currently 400 by 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 billion between 2009 and 2013. This amount includes the expansion of its site in Nanjing, China, and its planned 400,000 tons per annum MDI project in Chongqing, China. 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.

Future-ready ideas that brighten our tomorrow
this section highlights BASFs innovations and r&D activities conducted across India and the world that gave India the necessary growth momentum during the course of the year. Strategy 2020 plans for India Larger local team, enhanced r&D capabilities According to BASFs Asia Pacific Strategy 2020, India is one of the major growth poles in the region. To fulfill the future needs of the country, we are implementing an enhanced development plan to strengthen our existing local talent. For this purpose, we have set up dedicated recruitment centers to manage the increase in headcount, especially in the research and development segment. Part of the Global technology Platform In May 2005, BASF started research activities in India as a part of the Global Technology Platform. These research activities were extended in 2007 with the inauguration of a new laboratory to increase the synthetic capabilities as well as the process development capabilities of the group. Together with the new laboratory, our personnel strength was enhanced significantly. This was followed by the installation of a kilo laboratory, which allows the research group to scale-up the production of new chemicals and processes. Now, quantities up to 100 kilograms can be prepared in a fast and flexible manner, allowing our business units to do extensive application testing and provide enough material for market entry in important business areas. Relations with the central technology
platforms are strengthened by joint development of processes for products with end use in agriculture and energy management, performance chemicals, intermediates and fine chemicals, ionic liquids and other new organic chemical intermediates for specific applications. The Indian research team is closely collaborating with BASFs Global Technology Platform, and majority of the projects are carried out in close cooperation with researchers from Germany, USA, Singapore and France. Another milestone for the research group was the integration of former Cibas research activities into BASF in India. New research know-how, research competencies and internal collaboration with research teams in Switzerland quickly became part of the Indian research portfolio. The activities of the entire team will be concentrated at former Cibas state-of-the-art research site in Mumbai.

Samruddhi BASF has launched the Samruddhi program (English: Prosperity) to enhance yields of crops such as soybeans and potato and improving the economic return for farmers in rural India. Our Crop Protection division focuses on a total solution and hands-on approach to demonstrate clear yield enhancements and quality improvement leading to prosperity of farmers. Our Samruddhi program targets yield enhancement levers like fertilization, right seed rate, proper spacing, and timely and efficient usage of crop protection products. Through Samruddhi, many of the BASF field employees work with farmers pre-season, during the season and post-season to impart the knowledge on new farming techniques leading many farmers to perceive BASF as an important Partner in Progress. Data analysis of more than 1,300 farmers reveals an increase of 24% in yield and 41% in net returns.
I grow potato crop in Kharif season for PepsiCo. I applied for BASFs Potato Samruddhi in 2009 for one acre of my crop. As instructed by the BASF field staff, I started with the seed treatment and followed it up with pest and disease management with the usage of BASFs crop protection agents (CabrioTop, Acrobat + Polyram, Lihocin and Intrepid). For the rest of my crop, I used conventional pesticides. During harvest, the one acre Samruddhi plot yielded 9.9 tons of potatoes compared to the non-Samruddhi plot which yielded only 6 tons, per acre. I got an additional yield of 3.9 tons and a profit of approximately Rs.78,000. In both the plots, the expenses of crop protection agents came to about Rs. 4,000 per acre. I am grateful to BASF for the project Samruddhi and will recommend it to other farmers too.

Our commitment to sustainability generates value for us and our stakeholders. climate protection In 2008, BASF became the worlds first industrial company to publish a detailed global corporate carbon footprint for all its operations. We analyzed the CO2 emissions during the entire life span of our products. The result: our products save three times more greenhouse gas emissions than are caused by the production and disposal of all our products including raw materials and precursors. Every year, BASF invests 400 million globally in research and development of products and technologies for energy efficiency, climate protection, resource conservation and renewable raw materials. Globally, we are striving to increase energy efficiency at all our production sites, and by 2020 we intend to reduce our specific greenhouse gas emissions per metric ton of sales product by 25% compared with the 2002 level. climate Protection Officer Dr. Ulrich von Deessen was appointed as the Climate Protection Officer at BASF in 2008. He is also the head of the Global Competence Center Environment, Health and Safety. As Climate Protection Officer, he is a member of the Sustainability Council and coordinates all of BASF activities in this area worldwide. This goes to reflect the strategic importance of climate protection for the company.
emissions to air CO2 emissions constitute a major portion of the GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions. In 2009, emission of GHG from BASFs chemical operations in India amounted to 54,317 metric tons, an increase of 22% compared to 2008. This increase was mainly due to the acquisition of Ciba.

energy The most important means of reducing our energy consumption and thereby also lowering emissions is energy efficiency, which is defined as primary energy consumption (fuel, electricity, steam) per ton of product. While electricity, fuel and steam consumption in 2009 increased by 19%, 17% and 33% respectively as compared to 2008 primarily due to the acquisition of Ciba, our overall energy efficiency improved on account of improvement in certain production processes. For instance: At Dahej, a traditional centrifugal compressor has been replaced with a new screw compressor, leading to substantial reduction in electricity consumption at the plant. Also, the waste heat of the lubricant is used to heat boiler feed water. Both measures led to considerable savings of fuel in the year 2009.

We assess our logistics service providers and only when we are sure that our partners meet all our safety requirements we entrust them with our products. In addition, BASF has established a gate check system under which all trucks are subject to safety checks and approval before entering and leaving BASF sites. Presently, with support from our regional experts on transportation and distribution safety, we are coordinating with chemical industry associations to promote the concept of Road Safety Assessment in India. As a part of our distribution safety, warehouse storage locations are assessed according to BASF global guidelines by TDS experts to ensure that BASF safety standards are adhered to by all service providers before engaging them and the same are maintained at already operational warehouse locations across India.
plans. The on-site emergency plan is rehearsed at regular intervals. The neighboring community and district crisis committee are invited during our mock drills to build up confidence about our emergency preparedness and response. We also have a district crisis committee for taking care of off-site emergencies. Most of the nearby industries are members of this committee. A detailed off-site emergency plan is prepared by the district administration and rehearsed regularly in coordination with the National Disaster Management Authority which is headed by the Prime Minister of India. An incident and crisis management plan has been developed for BASF in India. The main objective of this plan is to minimize the overall negative impact of a given situation, thus enabling a return to normality in the shortest possible timeframe. Safety of our employees is of paramount importance to the company. Therefore, BASF in India has launched an elaborate Disaster Management Program for its employees. A well-equipped Disaster Control Center has been created at Navi Mumbai with qualified professionals to handle this project. Occupational health

Partnering society to make a difference
BASF has identified two social projects to focus on. every year employees volunteer to achieve the annual objectives of these projects. Both are linked to the core philosophy of BASF and issues that are important to India. the first project, Sadbhavana (empathy), is dedicated to womens empowerment and education. BASFs response to natural disasters also falls under this project. through our second project, the million minds initiative, BASF has taken a stand against corruption. Sadbhavana Under the aegis of Sadbhavana, which literally means Empathy, BASF strives for Community Development with an emphasis on education and womens empowerment as well as relief and rehabilitation initiatives. community development: BASF Kids Lab at Pilikula, mangalore BASF Kids Lab is a hands-on lab experience, where kids can learn about chemistry in a fun-filled manner. In India alone, it has introduced more than 28,000 school kids to the magical world of chemistry. Our Mangalore manufacturing site decided to spread this magic to its neighborhood. Subsequently, BASF Kids Lab was held in Pilikula, Nisargadhama for the third consecutive year together with Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation under
its ECO Club activities. Over 1,500 students from 150 schools covering three districts across Karnataka region participated. Another new dimension to this Kids Lab was that BASF employees themselves were mentors to the participating kids. Basic computer classes for the future generation BASF is empowering the future generation by fostering basic computer awareness and an interest in technology among our employees children. The manufacturing site at BASF Mangalore has started basic computer classes to train the children of BASF employees as well as those from the neighboring village. 18 children of employees and 22 children from Ottekayur village have enrolled in these classes.

Seminar Series on corporate Governance and Business ethics at educational institutions In the current dynamic economic environment, corporate governance and business ethics are central concepts for strengthening the moral fabric and development of any organization. We have developed a Seminar Series on Corporate Governance and Business Ethics in collaboration with leading academia. This 16-hour Seminar Series comprises eight sessions on Corporate Governance and Business Ethics and is a mix of lectures and case study discussions. It aims to instill good practices among future corporate citizens, i.e., students on the threshold of corporate India, by training them in practical aspects of governance and ethical issues through a study course. One such certificate course is already being offered at SIES Institute of Management Studies in Nerul.
