Nonfinancial Disclosures of BASF SE
The content of this section is not part of the statutory audit of the annual financial statements but has undergone a separate limited assurance by our auditor.
The content of this section is voluntary, unaudited information, which was critically read by the auditor.
Due to the importance of BASF SE within the BASF Group, specific disclosures are required when reporting key sustainability-related information. Such disclosures also became mandatory for the parent company of the BASF Group, BASF SE, as a result of the CSR Directive Implementation Act, which came into effect in 2017. An integrated reference option within the (Consolidated) Sustainability Statement was selected in the Management’s Report for the Nonfinancial Statement (NFS) to be issued in the reporting year in accordance with sections 289b to 289e of the German Commercial Code (HGB). The table on this and the following page shows the relevant nonfinancial key figures of BASF SE. All disclosures on strategy, due diligence, targets, described processes and key figures contained in the statements in the Combined Management’s Report, including the (Consolidated) Sustainability Statement, apply to the BASF Group including BASF SE. No significant deviations were identified for BASF SE.
