Only a few weeks ago, the renowned research institute Roberts Environmental Center in Claremont, California, awarded the report a prize for being the best sustainability report in its sector.
“We congratulate Bayer AG on this award. As the results of the voting prove, this is an expression of the confidence that many stakeholders have in the sustainability reporting of the company," says Paul Scott, Director of CorporateRegister.com.
“We are very happy with the results of this study. It confirms that our open and comprehensive approach to informing stockholders, employees and the public about our sustainability activities in an attractive way is on the right track,” says Heiner Springer, Head of Corporate Communications at Bayer AG. The yearly report, which is available as a printed and online version, illustrates how the Bayer Group harmonizes economy, ecology and social responsibility.
Bayer places great value on ensuring that its sustainability reporting is comprehensible, as well as being open and transparent. “We set ourselves new qualitative and quantitative sustainability targets every year as a benchmark for our activities,” explains Dr. Wolfgang Grosse Entrup, Head of Environment & Sustainability at Bayer AG. “Our reporting on our activities in the field of sustainable development also meets the internationally recognized guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative which have been drawn up with the involvement of the United Nations.” Our sustainability management system is also certified every year by an auditor.
