  Slide 13 is super interesting to me. They have been paying dividends to shareholders that have been smoothly increasing from 3.5% in 2013 up to 7.3% in 2022. This is one of their stated targets. To increase shareholder dividends and to grow the company. Is this not just having your cake and eating it too?

    Not defending BASF, but inflation needs to be accounted for too.

    > Is this not just having your cake and eating it too? I assume it just means they could have paid shareholders a larger dividend but chose to reinvest some of it for growth instead.
