Creating Positive Impact for People and Communities
Bayer is committed to fostering positive relationships with its employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates. The company has focused on improving access to healthcare and nutrition in underserved areas, promoting diversity and inclusion, and supporting local communities.
Access to Products and Services
Bayer contributes to solutions for global challenges by improving access to its knowledge, products and services in healthcare and nutrition.
The Nutrient Gap Initiative
Guided by our mission of “Health for all, Hunger for none,” Bayer's Nutrient Gap Initiative seeks to expand access to essential vitamins and minerals to 50 million people annually in underserved communities by 2030. This is a key step in combating malnutrition and nutrition insecurity.
Our Social Responsibility
The Social factor is key to our business and it refers to the human element of our company’s operations, as well as to the impact we have on society. Whether it is labor practices, human rights, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, community relations, or customer and consumer satisfaction: We aim to uphold ethical and fair treatment of all stakeholders while also fostering positive relationships.
Our HSE Governance
Responsibility for steering and monitoring health, safety and environmental protection (HSE) across the Group lies with the ESG department within the Public Affairs, Sustainability, and Safety enabling function. It establishes targets, key performance indicators and corporate policies, including HSE Management and HSE Key Requirements. HSE management systems are integrated into business processes across the Bayer Group, while operational implementation is carried out by the divisions. Regular policy reviews, internal audits and external certification help ensure that all sites continue to meet applicable requirements.
