Reducing CO2 Emissions
We offer the transparency needed: For our fragrance ingredients we have calculated the product carbon footprint (PCF) which sets the basis for our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions. Our product carbon footprints are based on a validated methodology and BASF's expertise in life cycle assessments. Building on this transparency we offer options to reduce your CO2 emissions – find out more and benefit from high-quality primary data!
Increasing the share of renewable ingredients
For many synthetic fragrance ingredients, there is no renewable alternative. Our portfolio is different: Almost all of our synthetic fragrance ingredients are available with renewable raw materials in the value chain - with BASF's biomass balance approach (BMBcertTM). With BASF's biomass balance approach, renewable raw materials are used as feedstock right at the beginning of the production network. The amount of biobased raw material is then allocated to the individual fragrance ingredients using a third-party verified certification method. The certified products thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve fossil resources.

Providing biodegradable fragrance ingredients
All our available BASF fragrance ingredients are biodegradable according to OECD guidelines. In this way, we support our customers in using ingredients that do not remain in the environment. We will continue on this path with our new ingredients and thereby contribute to a more sustainable future in the industry.

Developing fragrance ingredients with excellent regulatory profile
Our research and development initiatives prioritize creating new fragrance ingredients with an excellent olfactory performance that also meet high regulatory standards. We invest significant effort in thoroughly testing and screening our future portfolio for toxicity and environmental impact at a very early stage in the development. One such example is VelberryTM, a versatile and fruity-fresh fragrance ingredient that has an excellent toxicological and ecotoxicological profile that also meets newest regulatory standards.
