How we conduct our business is just as important as the business we conduct. At Bayer, we honor our long-standing commitment to pursuing sustainable solutions while adhering to the German Corporate Governance Code. These regulations are important in ensuring we steward our internal operations responsibly, but also help us successfully pursue Health for all, Hunger for none —and the ongoing value it creates for everyone.

Maintaining Checks and Balances

We operate on the principle that our business success should always be in service of the world’s shared interests, from protecting the environment to improving the quality of life for everyone.
