In 2006, BASF first initiated the "1+3" CSR project and then launched the program under the platform of China Business Council for Sustainable Development (CBCSD). According to the model of “1+3” project, every CBCSD member company, such as BASF, teams up with three types of business partners along its supply chain – customer, supplier and logistics service provider – to promote corporate social responsibility and provide guidance for best practices and customized solutions. The three partner companies then each introduce the same concept to three further business partners along its own supply chain. The “Snowball” effect is therefore created.

As the old Chinese saying tells: “Ten years to grow trees, but hundred years to nurture talents”, BASF profoundly understands the importance of education and has always been supporting the education in China. Since 1949, BASF began to organize the international summer course to provide students from countries around the world the opportunity to form their own impression of the global chemical industry. So far, more than 40 graduate students from prestigious universities in China have been selected to go to BASF headquarter in Germany to participate in the camp. Since 2006, BASF launched the “Greater China Industrial Summer Course” in Shanghai, intended to provide the opportunities to more college students to experience the modern chemical companies.
