Bayer in Sub-Saharan Africa Cares for Communities
Bayer’s public interest investments show our commitment towards impactful and sustainable local economic development. We extend these actions from supporting smallholder farmers and public health programs, to investing in research and education in science.
Our intention is to contribute to society by making strategic, long-term focused investments towards our communities. We believe that we have a responsibility, not only because it is the right thing to do, but also because it is important for the economic growth of the industry and country. This lies at the foundation of Bayer’s purpose Science for a better life and our vision of Health for all, Hunger for none.
Focus areas of projects are aimed at:
- Food Security
- Access to health programs for vulnerable groups in low-income communities
- Public Health programs
- Small-holder and emerging farmer development and training
- Supporting research in science
- Supporting education in science
At the heart of our corporate social commitment lies our B-BBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) compliance in South Africa. Our focus is to maximize the impact our resources and support have in diverse communities. The final aim is to launch commercially viable projects that should be able to sustain themselves and become profitable in the future.
