A coalition of global investors from 13 countries has praised Bayer for its leadership in sustainability reporting. Their analysis revealed that Bayer’s Sustainable Development Report is of excellent quality, proves highly useful to investors and complies with the policies of the U.N. Global Compact, the United Nations’ corporate responsibility initiative, in which Bayer participates.
“We greatly appreciate the leadership role you play in the Global Compact. It serves as a model for companies in all regions of the world,” Global Compact Executive Director Georg Kell wrote in a letter to Werner Wenning, Chairman of the Bayer AG Board of Management.
“This accolade shows that our efforts to ensure the sustainability of our business operations increase the company’s value over the long term. At the same time, it serves as recognition of our open and extensive communication on the issue of sustainability,” says Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Plischke, member of the Bayer AG Board of Management responsible for Innovation, Technology and Environment.
