Environmental Record
In 2006 BASF was praised by the Climate Leadership Index for their efforts in problems with climate change and greenhouse gases in our world. In recent years the BASF Company has set aside a large portion of their R&D budget on resource conservation.
BASF has reported that one of their recent developments has been creating filters for wastewater treatments plants that help to reduce emissions.
Another recent environmental move the BASF Company has done is formed a partnership with Columbia University. The BASF Company and Columbia University came together so that they can further research “environmentally benign and sustainable energy sources”. The company has recently reported their emissions in 2006 to be “1.50 million metric tons of waste.” Even though it is a lot of waste, BASF has shown improvement in that they have steadily reduced their waste emissions in the last few years.

“It is a maxim among these lawyers, that whatever hath been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.”
