Acting Responsibly Creating Opportunities
Science For A Better Life
The human population is rapidly expanding
worldwide, yet drinking water is becoming
scarcer. That’s why Bayer, in cooperation with
National Geographic, is supporting research
projects on treating, distributing and tapping
new sources of water, while also promoting
the economical use of this valuable resource.
This is just one of 300 examples in which
Bayer is demonstrating its commitment to
corporate social responsibility. We are active
in around 150 countries and aim to do our part
as a good corporate citizen in solving social
problems and tackling global issues through a
combination of our commercial and technical
expertise and the commitment of our staff.
This is why we invest EUR 50 million annu-
ally in education and research, the environment
and nature, health and social needs, and
sports and culture. Bayer aims to improve
people’s prospects for a better future and
to this end also has become the first private
partner of the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) which raises awareness
of environmental protection among young
people and trains them in this subject.
