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.
