Environment and Nature
Bayer places an equal emphasis on commercial success and environmentally friendly processes - making products that are safe and gentle on natural resources.
However, our responsibility to the environment goes beyond ensuring our own processes and products are safe – we also encourage environmental responsibility on a wider scale by supporting environmental education initiatives some of which are profiled below.
Partnership with UNEP
As partner to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Bayer organises and supports a number of specific projects which aim to strengthen environmental awareness and improve knowledge about the environment among young people. Building on their many years of cooperation in the Asia Pacific region, Bayer and UNEP decided in June 2004 to put their close and successful partnership on a global basis.
Eco-Minds
The third Eco-Minds Youth Forum, an environmental program for young people, was held in New Zealand in 2009. This initiative is part of Bayer’s global partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). » more
