Sustainability, Eco-Efficiency, Traceability initiative BASF helps ensure food safety, measure sustainability

BASF has developed a tool for its customers in the food industry which affords detailed information on the composition of products and manufacturing methods, including levels of sustainability achieved in production.

The SET data is available to customers via the Global Traceability Network (GTNet). This is a global platform used in the food industry for targeted sharing of product information material. GTNet enables companies to exchange product data with their trading partners.

A spokesperson for BASF confirmed that customers had been asking for greater product traceability and further information on product sustainability. SET is responding to these demands.
