Report 2013
Message from the Managing Director
Greetings from BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn Bhd!
We are pleased to present BASF PETRONAS Chemicals – Report 2013.
This report provides an overview of the company’s operations throughout
2013 in terms of our sustainability performance, or how we balance the
economic, environmental, and social aspects of the company.
From an economic perspective, 2013 was a tough year. Growth in our
customer markets remained stagnant throughout 2013, a situation prolonged
from 2011 through 2012.
Operationally, our emphasis remains on
continuous improvement in all our processes and procedures, seen in our
Operational Excellence initiative. Through this, the company will continue to
deliver solid financial results.
In accordance with the philosophy shared by our parent companies, we
demonstrate sustainability throughout our operations by maintaining worldclass operating standards at our site. We also maintained our strong
performance in environmental protection in 2013. This can be seen in our
operations, our efforts in environment, health, and safety (EHS) efforts,
through Responsible Care audits, shareholder audits, Occupational Health
audits, and through savings in energy, utility, logistics and procurement, to
constantly live our mission, “Creating Value Through Chemistry”.
Our focus in 2014 will be on excellence and improvements. This will ensure
that we are ahead of our competition and that we continue to be recognized
as the partner of choice.
Looking at plans for 2014, there is a lot to anticipate. We broke ground in
April 2014 on the long-awaited Integrated Aroma Ingredients Complex, and
construction is now underway.
We will continue to maintain close dialogue with the community, authorities,
and relevant stakeholders, seeking to contribute to social development.
I personally thank you for your support and interest in BASF PETRONAS
Chemicals Sdn Bhd, and our whole team looks forward to serving you even
better as we move forward.
Best regards,

Report 2013
Environment, health and safety
Safety, security and health
The Responsible Care Management System (RCMS)
comprises the global rules, standards and procedures for
environmental and health protection, safety and security
for the various stations along our value chain. It allows
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals to achieve compliance with
regulatory and internal requirements, operate safe and
environmentally sound facilities and manufacture safe
products. Adherence to the processes in RCMS drives
continuous improvement in performance and increases
the efficiency and effectiveness of EHS-related activities.
Integrating Responsible Care into operations
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals helps to protect the local
environment by integrating sustainability into our daily
operations. We have set ourselves ambitious environmental
and climate goals. Our responsibility also includes ensuring
the safety of our employees, plants and products.
Just as BASF PETRONAS Chemicals applies stringent
standards to its own operations, we demand the same high
standards of our contractors and suppliers too. The company
believes there has to be responsibility and accountability
throughout the entire supply chain. To this end, BASF
PETRONAS Chemicals chooses carriers, service providers
and suppliers not just on the basis of price, but also based on
their performance in environmental and social responsibility.
Product stewardship
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals considers Product Stewardship
as an integral business process. Product Stewardship is a
concept whereby environmental, health, and safety protection
focusing on the product itself, and everyone involved in the
lifespan of the product is called upon to take up responsibility
to reduce the environmental, health, and safety impacts. For
manufacturers, this includes planning for, and if necessary,
paying for the recycling or disposal of the product at the end of
its useful life. One of the avenues through which the company
advocates product stewardship is via the newly established
BPC Academy, which aims to provide a platform for
value-added sharing with customers. BPC Academy was
launched in September 2013.
Transportation and distribution safety
In sustaining the company’s commitment to safe transportation
distribution, we strive to achieve our target of zero accidents.
Our excellent safety performance arises from strong
coordination between BASF PETRONAS Chemicals and our
selected logistic service providers which have shown steady
commitment to reduce non-conformance and increase road
safety awareness among their staff.
Occupational safety
Ensuring the safety of our employees, neighbors and the
community where our site operates is vital. We will strive to
provide a safe and healthy work place and we will ensure that
safety and environmental issues are incorporated in the
planning and operations of our company’s business. In 2013
the Lost time injury rate for employees was maintained at the
very low rate of 0.7 per million working hours (2012: 1.4 per
million working hours), while there were no lost time injuries
among contractors in 2013 (2012: 4.8 per million working
hours).

Process safety
Improving process safety performance and competency in BASF
PETRONAS Chemicals is one of the main objectives of the
HSEQ & Utilities Department of the company. In 2013, we
completed the ‘Clean Sheet’ Review for BDO plant which is a
critical approach in developing a new hazard analysis for the
existing process units. All operation personnel must undergo
Process Safety e-learning training to enhance their awareness on
process safety philosophy and risk assessment. We also started
the review of our current Process Safety documentations in order
to align with the BASF company-wide HSE requirement.
Security
The BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Verbund Site is categorized as
a “Protected Area, Keypoint 1” under the Malaysian National
Security Council of the Prime Minister’s office. It is guarded by our
security staff who work in shifts, under guidance from the BASF
regional security team.
Coordinated emergency response – a priority
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals works closely with neighboring
sites to drill emergency response and ensure an integrated
approach.

Report 2013
Environmental protection
Resources from industry, science, politics and society are
being called on to protect air quality, curb global
greenhouse gas emissions, reduce other emissions to air
and and water, make more efficient use of available
resources. BASF PETRONAS Chemicals contributes to
these aims, for example by constantly working to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from production. Our
environmental management includes monitoring emissions
from our plants. We measure both greenhouse gas
emissions and emissions of air pollutants. Even as the size
of our portfolio grows, we remain committed to our goal of
minimizing absolute emissions.
Steam consumption (total) (Metric tons)
Electricity consumption (total) (MWh)
Energy
Energy efficiency is the most important means of combining
climate protection, resource conservation and economic
benefits. BASF PETRONAS Chemicals takes a three-pronged
approach to responsible use of energy, focusing on efficient
energy generation, reducing energy consumption in our
production facilities, and developing products and technologies
for increased efficiency in our use of available energy.
Generally, energy efficiency is linked to the demands of the
different production plants on the site. Heat from production
processes is not discharged to the environment, but utilized at
other plants according to our Verbund concept of integrated
production.
In 2013, there was a slight decrease in steam consumption,
to 2,449,326 metric tons (2012: 2,624,539 metric tons). As
steam is used in production, this decrease is primarily
attributable to lower production rates in 2013 compared to the
previous year. There was a slight decrease in electicity
consumption to 310,558 MWh (2012: 337,644 MWh) and a slight
decrease in fuel consumption from central power plants and
boilers to 1,209,171 MWh (2012: 1,289,379 MWh), also due
primarily to lower production rates in 2013 compared to the
previous year.
Fuel consumption (central power plants and
boilers) (MWh)
Energy saving through Verbund
In our commitment to environmental preservation, we have
invested substantially in environmental protection equipment and
systems. Through integrated production, known as the Verbund,
heat and waste products are re-used efficiently.
Heat from the production process is utilized at other plants.

Report 2013
Emissions to air
Our greenhouse gas emissions decreased to 681,196 metric
tons (2012: 716,048 metric tons) in 2013, primarily due to a
decrease in production in 2013 compared to 2012.
In 2013 our emissions of air pollutants were 948 metric
tons, a slight decrease from the previous year (2012: 995
metric tons). These two figures were recorded at higher levels
than years prior to 2011, attributable to the installation of a
Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) in
mid-2011 to analyze the emissions gases online. This enables
the feed of live data, 24 hours a day, for faster response and
mitigation. CEMS registers higher figures compared to manual
sampling and with CEMS, as air pollutants measurements
include fugitive emissions which were not accounted for in the
measurements prior to 2011.
100% of the water supply at the site is from drinking water, as
the main available water source, the same as previous years.
In 2013, emissions of organic substances to water further
decreased to 112.3 metric tons (2012: 142 metric tons). This
was due mainly to increased efficiency in usage of water and
the recycling of water for cooling. In 2013, nitrogen emissions
to water decreased to one metric ton 2012: four metric tons).
This was also due mainly to increased efficiency in the usage
of water. Emissions of heavy metals to water increased
slightly to 0.2 metric tons (2012: 0.1 metric tons), due to the
use of water for washing down. This metric refers to water that

The sustainable use of water and the conservation of water
resources are important concerns for BASF PETRONAS
Chemicals. Our water conservation activities involve our
production; we have decreased specific use in our production
and we are evaluating further water protection and supply
concepts at our site.

Report 2013
Waste
Balok River protection
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals’ fundamental principle for handling
waste is “avoid, reduce, and recycle”. We only dispose of waste
after all recovery options have been exhausted, and we do so in a
manner that reduces environmental impact. In this respect, the
“Verbund” concept. i.e. the close integration of production
processes, is one of BASF PETRONAS Chemicals’ greatest
strengths; the by-products from one plant are often used in another
as starting materials. Substitute fuels recycled from waste are also
used in power plants and in some production plants.
We dispose of hazardous waste according to the regulatory
requirements of the Department of Environment, Malaysia.
Non-hazardous waste, and waste categorized under “special waste
management” is disposed at the Jerangau-Jabor Landfill.
In 2013, we produced a total of 7,563.8 metric tons of waste
(2012: 6,905 metric tons of waste). This increase can be attributed
to more solvent waste being generated due to the plant shutdowns
during the year, as well as a temporary increase in residues sent for
disposal and an increase in domestic waste. In 2013, we recovered
70.54% of our waste (2012: 68%), 21.3% was disposed of in landfill
(2012: 24%), while 5.93% was incinerated (2012: 6%).
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals is located near the Balok River, thus
making river protection a crucial part of daily operations. We
constantly monitor the quality of the water in the Balok River near
our plant as well as emissions of noise, gases and dust to ensure
that they are within the acceptable levels.
Responsible Care Week
An annual initiative is the Responsible Care Week held at our
Verbund Site. Along with many health, safety, and environment
activities like Hazard Hunt, Emergency Response Training,
Defensive Driving, Blood Donation and aerobics activities, a
plant tour and exhibition are also organized during the week.
This event gives the local community, other companies,
customers and government agencies an opportunity to
understand the importance of Responsible Care.

Report 2013
Employees
Developing talent for growth
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals aims to form the best team.
This belief is seen in the tangible efforts and resources
the company puts into the development of the employees
as well as into company sponsored employee gatherings
and outings such as divisional and cross-divisional teambuilding, to strengthen the team. We provide our
employees with the opportunity to grow with the
organization. This is reflected in our Strategic Pillar
“Developing Talent for Growth”. As of the end of 2013,
BASF PETRONAS Chemicals and Toray BASF Resins had
a total of 667 employees (2012: 676).
Recruitment and new graduate programs
We aim to recruit, develop and retain the best employees, and
allow them to fully realize their strengths and potential. We do
this, for example, with performance-based remuneration,
targeted training opportunities as well as measures to balance
work and family life.
Career development
The company invests substantially in training for staff. This
includes technical skills, environment, health, and safety, soft
skills, and competency trainings. These are conducted inhouse when there is a competent trainer within the company,
through customized trainings or at public courses.
The company believes that training is not limited to a
classroom experience and launched the Mentor-Mentee
Program in 2013, with an initial 20 mentor-mentee pairs.
Another vehicle to enable training is the Competency
Based Learning & Development Catalog, which is a central
database for a collection of selected training programs based
on the company’s core and elective competencies. These
programs are designed with the plan of long term
development of our staff and the modules and course
contents are customized to meet the learning needs relevant
to our business.
Employee dialog and Management briefing sessions are
held quarterly at both the Kuantan site and the Shah Alam HQ
while twice-yearly Senior Management Communications
sessions are organized for management level sharing,
alignment and engagement sessions.
Highlights of 2013’s employee engagement sessions
included a townhall and dialog session with Dr. Martin
Brudermueller, Vice Chairman of the Board of Executive
Directors of BASF SE, in March 2013, and with Datuk Wan
Zulkiflee, Chairman of the Board of Directors for BASF

Work-life balance
Employee assistance during monsoon floods
Our flexi-hours system provides employees another avenue
to balance work, family commitment and leisure. Under this
system, employees are given some freedom in managing
their working hours, while being responsible for completing
the necessary 42 hours a week within the core hours of
9:00am to 4:00pm daily.
Other than ensuring that the company remunerates
employees in accordance or occasionally better than the
industry standards, non-monetary benefits accorded to
employees of BASF PETRONAS Chemicals include medical
and dental benefits, insurance, Haj Leave, education grants,
and periodic medical check-ups.
Annually, our staff members organize sports and
recreational activities for the whole company. Some popular
events organized for employees are aerobics, badminton,
bowling, futsal and swimming, as well as recreational
activities such as the Amazing Walk and Search and
combined Family Day & Annual Dinner.
A series of bad floods in early December 2013 during the
monsoon season on the East Coast of Malaysia saw more
than 100 BASF PETRONAS Chemicals colleagues affected
as their homes, and even the routes going to and from work,
went underwater.
The company quickly set into motion emergency
response plans including search and rescue, evacuation,
shelter, food and assistance for staff affected. Monetary
assistance was also provided for colleagues who had lost their
possessions in the floods whereas colleagues from the
headquarters at Shah Alam organized collections and sent
assistance to the colleagues via four-wheel drive vehicles, as
soon as the roads cleared.
Employee Enrichment
Recognising that modern urban women are faced with a
multitude of challenges, dangers and risks in their daily lives,
and believing that being knowledgeable is being equipped, a
“City Survival Training for Ladies” session was held for the
first time in 2013.
Other initiatives include cross-divisional team building
activities and life training including useful skills such as CPR,
First Aid and putting out fires.
