Case Study: BASF achieves enterprise-wide risk visibility and streamlined safety management with Sphera Advanced Risk Assessment

Enterprise-wide visibility at BASF

BASF, the world’s largest chemical producer, needed to streamline environmental, health and safety risk documentation after relying on decentralized tools like Word and Excel that produced inconsistent process-hazard records, lengthy reports and limited enterprise-wide visibility. To address this, BASF chose Sphera’s Advanced Risk Assessment (SpheraCloud ARA) to standardize and centralize its risk management across global operations.

Sphera implemented ARA with a single standardized template and, within nine months, BASF trained 1,600 team members across Europe, Asia and the Americas, creating a centralized knowledge base for enterprise-wide risk. Sphera’s solution enabled real-time analysis and reporting, simplified data extraction and revalidation, streamlined onboarding after growth, and improved compliance efficiency—delivering clearer risk visibility and measurable operational benefits while helping BASF maintain its safety and environmental commitments.
