Bayer confirms its sustainability criteria
Leverkusen-based chemicals company Bayer was among the names included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and its European counterpart again this year.
Its stock has been continuously listed in the two sustainability indices since their
introduction: the DJSI World (1999) and the European DJSI STOXX (2001).
Member of the group’s management board responsible for Innovation, Technology and Environment, Dr Wolfgang Plischke, said: "We have recently increased our environmental and climate protection efforts. Our renewed inclusion in these two important sustainability indexes honours and acknowledges our endeavours in this field."
It recently launched a group-wide climate programme to minimise the use of natural resources in its production processes, reduce emissions, and to develop new solutions to help tackle the consequences of climate change.
