Capital Expenditures (Capex)
We are planning capital expenditures (additions to property, plant and equipment excluding acquisitions, IT investments, restoration obligations and right-of-use assets arising from leases) of around €6.2 billion for the BASF Group in 2024, including €3.3 billion for our growth projects, in particular the construction of the new Verbund site in China. For the period from 2024 to 2027, we are planning capital expenditures totaling €19.5 billion, including €6.8 billion for our growth projects – the new Verbund site in China, and the expansion of the battery materials business. The investment volume in the next four years will thus be considerably below that of the planning period 2023 to 2026 (€24.5 billion).
