Dow Jones Description
Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the fields of health care, nutrition and high-tech materials. Our products and services are designed to benefit people and improve their quality of life. At the same time we want to create value through innovation, growth and improved earning power. We already successfully reorganized the Bayer Group and further streamlined our portfolio to create a new Bayer that is focused on its corporate strengths, its customers and the markets of the future. To help us achieve this goal, we then carried out a strategic realignment in order to concentrate in future on three high-potential, agile subgroups with largely independent operations: HealthCare, CropScience and MaterialScience, supported by three service companies. Our operating companies give us the access we need to the growth markets of the future. As an inventor company, we plan to continue setting trends in research-intensive areas. Innovations are the foundation for our competitiveness and our corporate growth, and thus for our success in the future. We believe our technical and commercial expertise entails a duty to contribute to sustainable development ? a principle we wholeheartedly endorse, mindful of its social, ethical and environmental elements. In awareness of our responsibilities as a corporate citizen, we define economy, ecology and social commitment as objectives of equal rank. We seek to retain society?s confidence through performance, flexibility and open communication as we work in pursuit of our overriding corporate goals: to steadily create corporate value and generate high value-added for the benefit of our stockholders, our employees and the community in every country in which we operate.
