Environment
We meet our responsibility to protect the environment in many different ways. We are continuously working to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities and develop product solutions with improved sustainability characteristics. For us, an efficient approach to raw materials and energy makes both ecological and economic sense. Our measures help reduce environmental impact and at the same time cut the costs associated with materials, energy, emissions and disposal.
Responsibility for steering and monitoring health, safety and environmental protection (HSE) across the Group lies with the ESG department within the Public Affairs, Sustainability, and Safety enabling function. It establishes targets, key performance indicators and framework conditions in the form of corporate policies – such as "HSE Management and HSE Key Requirements" - and other measures. HSE management systems are integrated into business processes across the Bayer Group. Operational implementation is performed by the divisions. The continuous review and revision of corporate policies and regular mandatory internal audits and external certification processes ensure that the systems at all sites meet the requirements in each case.
