For the second year in a row, BASF has been named as one of  Canada’s top 10 Best Workplaces™ in Manufacturing by Great Place to Work^®, a global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures.

Great Place to Work gathered direct feedback from employees across the country in an extensive and anonymous survey about their workplace experience, including statements on safety, credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.

“We have a dedicated team of employees who work at manufacturing sites and offices across the country, serving our customers in a range of industries. Our goal is to create an inclusive workplace culture where our employees feel safe, empowered and valued,” said Terri Howard, Director of Human Resources, BASF Canada.

“We are committed to promoting and protecting the health, safety and wellness of our employees, as well as our customers, contractors, and communities. We are continuously looking for ways to strengthen awareness about our daily working environment and keeping a safety mindset, whether in an office building, production site, research lab, or out in the field with our customers,” said Brett Rajkumar, EHS Team Leader, BASF Canada.
