    BASF is streamlining its administration, sharpening the roles of services and regions and simplifying procedures and processes. As a result, the company expects savings of €300 million, as part of the ongoing excellence program, which is anticipated to contribute €2 billion to earnings annually from the end of 2021 onwards.
     
    In the course of the strategy implementation, BASF expects a reduction of a total of approximately 6,000 positions worldwide until the end of 2021. This decrease results from the organizational simplification and from efficiency gains in administration and services as well as in the operating divisions. BASF will continue to need additional employees in fields like production or digitalization, depending on future growth rates.
     
    “We will set up the new organization with a clear focus on leveraging synergies, reducing interfaces and enabling flexibility and creativity,” said Dr. Martin Brudermüller, chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF. “We want our customers to experience a new BASF. To achieve this, we have to live a new BASF. We will therefore continue to develop our organization to work more effectively and efficiently. In this way, we will ensure the success of our customers, strengthen our competitiveness, and grow profitably as a company.”
     
    Customer-focused operating divisions, service units and regions as well as a lean Corporate Center are the cornerstones of BASF’s new organization. The Corporate Center will consist of less than 1,000 employees and will support BASF’s Board of Executive Directors in steering the company as a whole. This includes central responsibilities, among others in the areas of strategy, finance, legal, human resources and communications.
     
    In addition, approximately 29,000 employees will be working in cross-functional service units. “Global Engineering Services” and “Global Digital Services” will offer their services either for individual sites or globally for business units of the BASF Group, and “Global Procurement” will make purchasing more effective. “Global Business Services” will be newly established and will form a worldwide network of about 8,000 employees providing end-to-end services. The unit “Global Business Services” will be led by Marc Ehrhardt, currently head of the Finance division.
     
    The first changes will take effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
     
    In view of the current changes and further changes planned until the end of 2021, management and employee representatives have jointly decided to move forward the start of negotiations on a new site agreement for the BASF SE. The current site agreement is valid until the end of December 2020. The goal is to sign a new agreement in the first half of 2020.
