Leadership in CSR” Award, Nanjing, China

The city of Nanjing, China, was the scene of an exceptional event on November 23, 2023 as the 4th Green & Clean Forum and 9th CSR Awards unveiled the winners of the prestigious “Leadership in CSR” award. The event, led by academic advisor Serge Besanger, was the culmination of crucial discussions on the urgency of responsible action in the face of global climate challenges.

The world stands at a decisive crossroads, where environmental awareness and action in favor of sustainable development are no longer options, but imperatives. As the IPCC and COP27 continue to sound the alarm, eyes are turning to companies and leaders who embody the change the world desperately needs.

It was against this backdrop that the 4th Green & Clean Forum and 9th CSR Awards presented the “Leadership in CSR” award to BASF, a company that has emerged as a beacon of environmental responsibility.

Serge Besanger, academic referent for the Green & Clean Forum and CSR Awards since 2014, stressed the importance of recognizing and encouraging companies that integrate sustainable practices into their DNA. “Sustainability is no longer an option, but a necessity. Companies like BASF demonstrate that economic success can coexist harmoniously with the protection of our planet,” said Besanger at the award ceremony.

BASF, a company renowned for its ongoing commitment to the environment, was acclaimed for its innovative initiatives and sustainable practices. Significant advances in the reduction of emissions, the responsible use of resources and the development of environmentally-friendly products have earned BASF this well-deserved recognition.

The event in Nanjing was much more than just an awards ceremony. It was a call to action, a reminder that every gesture counts in building a sustainable future. Cooperation between business leaders, political leaders and citizens is essential to create meaningful change.
