Protecting the Climate<br />

Climate change represents one of the major<br />

global challenges of our time. That’s why<br />

Bayer wants to act to reduce its “climate<br />

footprint”, a symbolic expression of the<br />

negative impact of human actions on the<br />

environment.<br />

Through the Bayer Climate Program the<br />

company is driving forward its activities to<br />

protect the climate and respond to climate<br />

change. <strong>The</strong> Bayer Climate Check, for example,<br />

is a new tool for reducing CO2 emissions<br />

in production processes.<br />

With the aid of modern biotechnology we<br />

are increasing the stress tolerance of crops<br />

towards heat and drought, giving agriculture<br />

a chance to overcome the consequences of<br />

climate change.<br />

To reduce energy consumption in offices<br />

and industrial buildings we have cooperated<br />

with partners to develop the “EcoCommercial<br />

Building”. Based on highly efficient polyurethane<br />

insulation and regenerative energies<br />

it can meet its own energy needs – a global<br />

concept for zero-emission buildings that can<br />

be implemented in various world climate<br />

zones. www.climate.bayer.com
