On June 12, BASF-YPC Company Limited organized an open day to the 150 teachers and students from Changzhou University, Nanjing University of Technology and Nanjing College of Chemical Technology.

In three groups, the visitors had a site tour in the plant site with six stops at Emergency Response Center, Clean Wastewater Reuse Unit, Clinic, Non Ionic Surfactant Plant, Lab Competence Center and Basic Chemicals Complex for the detailed introductions of the specially assigned employees who also answered the questions from the curious visitors.

In the afternoon, Dr. Stephan Kothrade, President of the Company, and other senior staff made speeches to the visitors followed by the warm interactions between them.

Through the sessions of the day, these visitors got a deep impression of the Company, especially on its concepts as well as its practices like “to maintain a competitive and profitable world-scale petrochemical site through sustainable development”, "to support the Responsible Care® and act in a responsible manner towards safety, health and environment”, "to be a respected corporate citizen recognized for the social responsibility”, and so forth.

In future, said the students, they hoped to win a chance to work in a world-class chemical enterprise and to contribute to the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
