The goal of our donations program is to recognize and support organizations based solely on their needs, including organizations that our employees also value. The goal is to create sustainable partnerships that continually improve the communities in which Bayer employees live and work.
We do not accept compensation of any kind for donations made nor does our company seek to use these opportunities to promote our organization through reciprocity.
We aim to provide help when and where it is needed; however, we do seek to build long-term, mutually-aligned relationships with these organizations found within our areas of giving and geographic focus areas.
