Protecting the environment is in our nature

Reducing CO2 emissions while still manufacturing top-quality automotive refinish products is a challenge that we have been pleased to take on. After all, our name and our logo stand not only for top quality, but also for social responsibility.

We've already saved approximately 4440.17t of CO2 since we launched our Eco Balance products. That's equivalent to 40,387,768 km!*


*BASF product carbon footprints are calculated following general standards for life cycle assessment and product carbon footprints. The product carbon footprints are assessed cradle to gate, i.e. without CO2 emissions caused during product application and end-of-life treatment. Our product carbon footprint data is based on assumptions and approximations valid at the time of data collection. For more information, please visit https://www.basf.com/global/en/who-we-are/sustainability/we-drive-sustainable-solutions/quantifying-sustainability/product-carbon-footprint.html Eco Balance products contribute to reducing the use of fossil resources and reducing the CO2 emissions via the biomass balance approach. For our biomass balance products, 100% of the feedstock required for these products have been replaced by renewable resources. All our Eco balance products are certified according to the RedCert² standard. (BASF certification number REDcert²-929-35346515). For more information, please visit https://www.redcert.eu. When reference is made to CO2 savings per traveled kilometer, a standard CO2 emission of 95 grams per travelled car kilometer is assumed.
