“Sustainability, in all its forms, is not a passing trend – it is a megatrend. This is where we’ve directed most of our investments. Over the last year, we increased our green ethylene production from 200,000 tons/year to 260,000 t/y.”
Vimala Arumugam
MANAGING DIRECTOR, BASF SOUTH EAST ASIA AND BASF (MALAYSIA)
"The new site demonstrates the strengthening of our commitment to Singapore, where we now have four production facilities, in line with the Singaporean government’s stance on promoting specialty chemicals."
Reshma Yousuf

"Currently, we have manufacturing facilities in Singapore and India, and we plan to invest in Thailand via a contract manufacturing partner to localize our production footprint. This project should be concretized by the end of this year."

WIL: CHAIRMAN & AJB: MANAGING DIRECTOR, FORTREC CHEMICALS & PETROLEUM

Richard Bourne
SVP ASIA-PACIFIC JAPAN (APJ), ECOVADIS
"Our latest Business Sustainability Index shows that the average sustainability score in the Asia-Pacific region has increased for the fifth consecutive year."
