All over the world, people trust Bayer to help them live healthier lives and to help provide a reliable supply of high-quality food.

In light of the global coronavirus pandemic, the most basic human needs of health and nutrition take on even more importance.

For that reason the Bayer team, of more than 100,000 people worldwide, has three commitments.

Protect people and communities - The safety and wellbeing of employees and their communities is paramount. Our far-reaching measures are aimed at minimising infection risks in our sites. Bayer employees in affected areas are encouraged to work from home wherever possible. For those who can only work on site, we have introduced enhanced safety and social distancing practices.

Get Bayer products where they are needed - We are implementing comprehensive business continuity measures in all our operations. Maintaining a supply of Bayer products and services to hospitals, doctors, patients, consumers and farmers is a top priority.

Help combat the virus - Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary levels of support and we will deliver. We are using our expertise to support the fight against coronavirus by supporting governments, health authorities and communities with urgently needed medicines, supplies and financial support.

Patients, consumers, farmers and business partners – you can count on us. At Bayer we are guided by our purpose, Science for a better life. Both during and after this crisis, we will do whatever it takes to help serve the world’s health and nutritional needs.
