Building 60, shown on the cover,
won’t look much different after
Bayer’s $100 million investment
is completed over the next four
years—but upgrades in equipment
and state-of-the-art technologies
will introduce new manufacturing
processes to keep Bayer an industry
leader with the production of future
versions of Kogenate ® FS, our
biotech treatment for hemophilia A.
Kogenate ® FS, made only at Bayer
HealthCare’s Berkeley facility,
is one of the world’s first and most
complex protein-based drugs. It is
the largest genetically engineered
protein manufactured today.
INDICATIONS & USAGE
Kogenate ® FS, antihemophilic factor (recombinant), is a recombinant factor VIII treatment indicated for the
control and prevention of bleeding episodes and peri-operative management in adults and children (0-16 years)
with hemophilia A. Kogenate ® FS is also indicated for routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding
episodes and the risk of joint damage in children with hemophilia A with no preexisting joint damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The most serious adverse reactions are systemic hypersensitivity reactions and the development of hightiter
inhibitors necessitating alternative treatments to AHF. The most common adverse reactions observed in clinical
trials were inhibitor formation in previously untreated or minimally treated patients, skin-associated
hypersensitivity reactions, infusion site reactions, and central venous access device (CVAD) line-associated
infections.
Kogenate ® FS is contraindicated in patients who have manifested life-threatening immediate hypersensitivity
reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its components, including mouse or hamster proteins.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

To our CommuniTy:
On behalf of our employees at Bayer HealthCare’s Berkeley site, I am pleased to present
this 17th annual report on our 30-year Development Agreement (“DA”) with the City
of Berkeley.
If ever there was a year when the benefits of the DA demonstrated themselves to both
the City and our company, it was 2009. This year, Bayer made its biggest investment
decision ever for our Berkeley facility, allocating over $100 million to retool for
produc tion of future versions of Kogenate ® FS, our hemophilia drug which has been
made solely in Berkeley since it was introduced in 1993.
This decision came in an increasingly competitive global biopharmaceutical marketplace
and, as we all know, a very challenging economy. For the first time, Bayer’s Board of
Management in Germany considered outsourcing a part of the manufacturing process
to an out-of-state contractor. Berkeley ultimately prevailed, thanks in part to the
experience and commitment of our employees.
The other decisive factor resulted from the extraordinary work of Berkeley’s Mayor and
City staff, together with the East Bay Economic Development Alliance and PG&E.
These leaders helped make the Berkeley option more cost-competitive. The expansion
of Oakland’s Enterprise Zone and other financial incentives were key to Bayer’s investment
decision, and I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped make
it happen. We are especially pleased that the Enterprise Zone hiring and other tax credit
incentives are now available to all businesses in west Berkeley. Now that’s a win-win!
This report details the many contributions Bayer has made to our community over
the past year of economic challenges. Some have come through the DA, and others
have gone beyond it. Nearly $400,000 in local grants have continued our leadership in
science education at public schools throughout the city, including Biotech Partners at
Berkeley High. Bayer was honored by the San Francisco Business Times as “Educator
of the Year” for our “Beyond the Check” combination of philanthropy, leadership,
and volunteerism. Our employee volunteers supported local organization such as the
Berkeley Food and Housing Project, Community Resources for Science, and Save
the Bay. Our stringent environmental programs earned us a ninth consecutive year
of ISO 14001 certification, as well as the “Leadership and Environmental Excellence”
award from Alameda County StopWaste.org.
As the DA was being forged nearly twenty years ago, the two innovators that are the
City of Berkeley and Bayer HealthCare recognized the many commonalities in their
priorities and aspirations: jobs, education, environmental protection, groundbreaking
scientific leadership. In 2009, when most California cities had only daunting news
to report, Berkeley was a beacon. We are pleased to have been part of that, and look
forward to many more years of working together for good results.
Sincerely,
Joerg Heidrich

IntRoDuCtIon
“ [Bayer] is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing
human health care products and has been conducting this business for more than
70 years . . . within the City. . . . Typically, this requires a development process
with an average time frame of 10–12 years and an average investment of in
excess of $200 million. As a consequence, long range planning is mandatory for
business, financial, and competitive reasons.”
—Development Agreement, 1992, pAge 4
In 1992, the City of Berkeley and Bayer (then Miles, Inc.) signed an historic 30-year
Development Agreement (DA) that provided the company consistent and streamlined
site development permit processes in return for a broad array of mitigations for the
benefit of the City.
The DA was the culmination of over a year of negotiations, with the City recognizing
the value Bayer could bring as employer, economic engine, scientific innovator, and
community leader—and understanding that this international company could contemplate
such a major investment only if it could secure the reliable “long range planning
mandatory for business, financial, and competitive reasons.”
The Bayer facility has been core to Berkeley’s economy for over a century. The Development
Agreement was instrumental in making Bayer core to the community as well. In
this 17th year of the 30-year agreement, we can appreciate the mutual benefits the DA
has brought:
• Today’s 45-acre site stands at the hub of the Bay Area’s expanding green
economy, exemplifying the clean, streamlined look of high-tech industry in the
21st century. In 1992, the original site comprised 30 acres with the former Cutter
Laboratories at the center of a collection of antiquated factories.
• Bayer today is the largest for-profit employer in Berkeley, with more than 1,250
permanent employees including eminent scientists, biomanufacturing professionals,
engineers, administrators, and members of the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union, Local 6. Our employees come from over sixty countries, speaking
35 languages. On a typical day the Berkeley site also employs an average of about
300 short-term contractors.
• Bayer is the second-largest biotechnology employer in the Bay Area, and our
Berkeley site is the center of biotech research and development for Bayer worldwide.
Bayer’s biotech protein drug portfolio is currently among the world’s top ten in size.
• “Mitigation payments” that began with the DA have evolved into a vibrant
program of local Corporate Social Responsibility which includes philanthropy,
employee volunteerism, and environmental stewardship. Bayer has emerged as a good
neighbor and local leader on issues of shared importance including economic and
workforce development, environmental protection, and public education (see “Beyond
the Development Agreement, p. 53).

We are proud of the role Bayer plays in Berkeley’s economic and civic life. Our
continuing development as the leader of Bayer’s global biotech research and product
supply operations relies on the streamlined site development guarantees of the DA.
Truly, the DA stands as one of California’s most creative and successful public/private
partnerships.
About this Report
This annual report, as required by Article 4 of the Development Agreement, presents
a summary of DA requirements and an update on Bayer’s compliance for the calendar
year 2009.
In 1999, Bayer and the City signed a First Amendment to the original Development
Agreement; implementation details for 2009 are also presented in this annual report.

Development Agreement Article 3 AnD exhibits c, D, AnD e; 1999 AmenDment
“ The broad scope of the long-range site development program contemplated
by [Bayer], combined with the long-term planning horizon needed for the
development of new pharmaceutical products, necessitates a reciprocal long-term
commitment by City to provide a sufficient degree of certainty in the land use
regulatory process to justify the massive financial investment associated with
the Project.”
–Development Agreement, pAge 5
Bayer has made a major investment in its Berkeley site since 1992. Site development to
date has earned Bayer a national Urban Design Award of Excellence from the American
Institute of Architects. More locally, Bayer has received an Award of Excellence from
Berkeley Design Advocates for the design of Building 60.
In 2009 the Berkeley site continued to accommodate all steps in the biotech operations
process including product engineering and process development, procurement, cell
fermentation, purification, sterile fill/freeze drying, packaging, warehousing, rigorous
quality assurance and quality control, and corporate administration. This year’s
$100 million investment decision ensures that all these operations will continue at the
Berkeley site.
As the 2009 Berkeley investment decision illustrated, site development is a complex
process. All decisions are initiated and approved by Bayer’s Governing Board in
Germany, and compete for resources with other Bayer facilities operating through
350 companies on five continents. Decisions are constrained by cost and operational
competitiveness as well as rapid developments in biotech manufacturing, balanced
against the time required to bring new buildings into compliance with strict technical
and regulatory imperatives. In the fast changing context in which today’s biotech
company operates, enormously expensive buildings may be obsolete within just one or
two decades.
long-teRm sIte Development goAls
Bayer’s Site Master Plan identifies a continuous reconfiguring of the site to meet four
key long-term goals:
• improved logistics: “the site currently includes facilities that are not located for
functional efficiencies or logistics; operations that are fragmented, with related
staff scattered across the campus; and circulation patterns that do not create a safe,
inviting, collegial atmosphere.”
• better efficiency: “buildings which are beyond their useful life or no longer meet
current functional requirements should be replaced in appropriate locations.”

Bioswales are drainage courses
with gently sloped sides that
are filled with water-absorbing
vegetation, gravel, and sand.
Bioswales use less water and
maintenance than turf, and
give rain and other water
runoff time to be stored,
filtered, and infiltrated.
• higher employee satisfaction “through the provision of amenities such as physical
fitness and daycare centers”; and,
• improved visual appeal, “both for employee recruitment and retention, and
to present the appearance of a modern, successful healthcare company to the
community.”
sIte Development In 2009
Although no additional square footage was developed on the Berkeley site, significant
improvements were made in 2009:
• The $100 million investment, announced in September, 2009, to ready the Berkeley
site to manufacture new generations of Kogenate ® FS (antihemophilic factor
(recombinant)), was begun in October with the rehabilitation of Building 60,
the main manufacturing building. These improvements, along with equipment
purchasing, will continue over the next four years.
• A $2 million structural and architectural rehabilitation of a leased building at 921
Parker was completed, and the building is now in use as office and warehouse space.
• With 921 Parker’s completion, several temporary trailers became unnecessary and
were removed from the site.
• With the demolition in 2008 of SC5, the large blue warehouse along Seventh Street,
a sitewide sustainable landscaping project was implemented including bioswales,
installed to reduce water use and protect regional water quality by reducing sediment
and nutrient loads in the stormwater drainage system.
• Seismic upgrades were conducted on several buildings.

“ Among other public benefits, the Project will enable the preservation and
enhancement of job opportunities, the continued productive use of industrial
property in an area where many such properties are underutilized or vacant,
the expansion of the City’s property tax base, the provision of needed public
infrastructure and the provision of a variety of community programs. . . .
These benefits would not be available in the foreseeable future except through
the mechanism of a long-term development agreement.”

Bayer is governed by, and vigilantly pursues, compliance with all applicable federal,
state, and local environmental regulations.
In January 2009, Bayer was inspected by the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District. They noted that the emissions of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) used in wipe cleaning
had exceeded the permitted limits. Bayer had already been aware of the increased usage
of IPA due to production increases, and had earlier filed an application with the District
to amend the permit limit. Bayer is awaiting closure of this action by the District.
In July 2009, Bayer was inspected by the California Department of Public Health.
The facility was found to have very good practices for managing medical waste, and
asked to correct some minor issues, such as an open medical waste container and some
bags not tied completely. Corrections were quickly made.
In September 2009, Bayer was inspected by the City’s Toxic Management Division. The
facility was found to have “good environmental programs,” and asked to correct some
minor issues, such as labeling and an open container. All observations from the inspection
have been addressed and closed.

The Development Agreement requires Bayer to mitigate the impacts of the company’s
site development on the surrounding neighborhood. Since 1992, Bayer has funded
nearly $1.6 million in public improvements, including:
• Installation of traffic signals along Seventh Street at Parker Street and Heinz Street
(shared total cost with City, 50/50)
• Intersection improvements at Seventh Street and Ashby Avenue (split cost with City)
• Various sidewalk and curb repairs and traffic flow improvements along Seventh Street
and Dwight Way
• Landscaping along Seventh Street—upgraded in 2008 with demolition of SC5, the
blue warehouse
• Replacing surface drainage and subsurface piping along Dwight Way between Fourth
and Seventh Streets
• Improvement projects and annual maintenance of Aquatic Park including Habitat
Restoration Project, Children’s Playground, Hydrology Improvement Plan for Aquatic

Bayer reports water consumption and wastewater discharges to the East Bay Municipal
Utilities District on a quarterly basis, and reports semi-annually that it does not discharge
cyanide-containing compounds.
Bayer notified the City in October, 2009, of a small release (estimated at approximately
one liter) of process wastewater foam to the storm sewer system. The foam, emanating
from a process drain, was washed by rain into the storm sewer. Due to the small
quantity and characteristics of the discharge, no environmental impact was anticipated.
Corrective and preventive actions included sealing the process drain cover, and providing
continuous addition of anti-foam material to the process drain to prevent foam-over.
Bayer notified the East Bay Municipal Utility District in September, 2009, of a small
discharge of wastewater to the sanitary sewer system that was outside of the permitted
pH limit. Due to the quantity of the wastewater discharged and the pH level, no
environ mental impact was anticipated.

“ Our top position reinforces our commitment to continue developing our activities
in the field of climate protection.”
–bAyer ceo Werner Wenning,
announcing Bayer’s award for “World’s Best Company in Climate Protection”
by Carbon Disclosure Leadership, September 22, 2009
No payments were required through the Development Agreement in 2009.
As in other areas of corporate citizenship, our local environmental efforts stem from
a global company commitment. Since 1990, Bayer has reduced its worldwide CO2
footprint by more than 37%, mostly through improved energy efficiency. In 2007 Bayer
launched a global Climate Program, bringing together the wide-ranging expertise of
its various subgroups to reduce CO2 emissions by a target of 25% for Bayer Material
Science, 15% for Bayer Crop Science, and 5% for Bayer HealthCare. In addition, the goal
is to “use our innovative capabilities and know-how as an inventor company to develop
new products and solutions for climate protection.” The company pledged one billion
euros to this program through 2010.
The Berkeley facility’s environmental excellence is the result of the ongoing vigilance
and dedication of our on-site, professional teams, working with City staff and regulators
at every level of government. Studies undertaken on resource reduction and alternative
energy have already generated substantial reductions in resource use and CO2 emissions,
as detailed below.
In 2009, Bayer’s Berkeley site captured one of the East Bay’s most important environmental
awards from the Stop Waste Partnership, a program of the Alameda County
Waste Management Authority. The “Leadership and Achievement in Sustainability”
award recognized Bayer’s unceasing and innovative approaches to environmental
protection that are based on the Bayer Sustainability Pyramid, which starts with
individual actions of employees and moves up through facility and management
processes and out to working with company vendors.

In 2009 Bayer also received recognition from:
• Bay Area Air Quality Management District—“Spare the Air” 2009 employer
participant
• California Integrated Waste Management Board—2009 Winner, Waste
Reduction Awards (WRAP) Program (12th consecutive year) for “outstanding efforts
to reduce non-hazardous waste”
• ISO 14001 International Standards—Ongoing certification, since 2001,
through this comprehensive program comprising one of the most stringent set of
environmental management principles in the world. Certification entails not only
compliance with existing standards, but demonstrable, continuous improvement in
environmental management performance over time. Berkeley was Bayer’s first site in
the United States to meet these rigid performance standards.
The installation of Variable Frequency Drives on
cooling towers was one major 2009 investment that
yielded 203 metric tons of carbon dioxide reduction.

Bayer has a longstanding, comprehensive recycling program that strives for constant
improvement. In 2009 improvements included:
• Returning empty raw material supply containers to the distributor for reuse
• Preparations to recycle used air filters

• A new emphasis on recycling used equipment and materials including furniture, lab
equipment, and processing materials. Much of this was donated to local schools and
non-profits—see Beyond the Development Agreement, page 57, for details.
Bayer’s Berkeley site attained a waste diversion rate of 86 percent in 2009—94 percent
including one-time waste streams, such as recycling virtually all of the blue warehouse
demolished in 2008.

Parking and transportation have long been a concern in west Berkeley and throughout
the City. As the local component of its global commitment to environmental protection,
through the DA Bayer has implemented a multidisciplinary approach with measurable
results.
The City and Bayer estimated that the vehicle use reduction program they agreed to
in the Development Agreement would cost the company about $55,000 per year, not
including an annual adjustment for inflation. In 2009, Bayer spent more than $519,000
on an award-winning program that constantly strives to minimize automobile usage
through education, incentives, and the provision of diverse transportation alternatives
both for Bayer employees and for the greater community.
Bayer’s investments have enabled the company to exceed the Development Agreement
goal of an average of 1.5 employees per car traveling to and from the site. In 2009 Bayer’s
Average Rider per Vehicle was 1.58, according to a survey conducted by 511.org.
programs Required through the Development Agreement
• Hire a trained transportation coordinator
• Reduce short trips: provide on-site eating facilities, dry cleaning, other services
• Submit a transportation plan for annual review by the City including results of an
annual survey of employee travel
• Establish an employee shuttle to BART at morning and evening peak travel hours,
which can be shared with other local employers
• Reimburse the City for costs of an on-street parking survey every five years, to
monitor the use of on-street parking by Bayer employees
• Construct two bus shelters at Seventh and Dwight
• Reimburse the City for development of a West Berkeley Bike Route Plan and
contribute to implementation costs of signs and striping
Bayer’s Transportation Coordinator works with agencies including the 511 Ridematch
Service, Bay Area Park & Ride, and the Bicycle Friendly Berkeley Coalition to design,
market, and provide employee incentives for maximum participation in a rich array of
trip reduction programs. A robust communications program educates employees from
their first day on the job. All commute alternative information and forms are available
on Bayer’s employee intranet website.

Ride sharing programs for long- and medium-Distance Commutes
Vanpools: Bayer provides employees with four daily vanpools, two of which originate
in Solano County, one in Santa Clara County, and one serving San Ramon and eastern
Contra Costa County. Non-employees working at Bayer (i.e., contractors, temporary
workers, consultants, and student interns) are also encouraged to participate in the program,
and vacant seats are made available to employees of nearby businesses. In addition
to leasing the vans, Bayer further subsidizes over 25% of employee costs for each trip,
and provides preferential on-site parking. Through Bayer’s participation in the Alameda
County Congestion Management Agency, a Guaranteed Ride Home is provided to
vanpool users who need one at the end of the day.
Carpooling: Since 1994 Bayer has provided preferential, reserved parking for carpoolers.
Employees seeking carpool matches are served directly by Bayer’s Trip Coordinator,
and also referred to 511.org for a broader list of potential matches. Non-Bayer employees
working at Bayer are eligible and encouraged to participate in the program.
mass transit
Bayer encourages employees to choose mass transit with a number of incentives:
BART Shuttle: At a cost of $106,348 in 2009, Bayer supports the Berkeley Gateway
Transportation Management Association, which manages the West Berkeley shuttle
to the Ashby BART station. This shuttle, which operates during peak morning and
afternoon commute hours, is also available to local residents and employees of other
businesses. Bayer’s Transportation Manager works closely with the shuttle manager
to ensure the needs of all shuttle commuters are being met, and the company’s
Community Relations Manager serves on the TMA Board.
Numerous conversations over the past year have addressed the possibility of expanding
services of the BART shuttle as well as decreasing its carbon footprint. The Berkeley
Gateway TMA board continues to explore better options and hopes to make positive
changes in 2010.
Bayer also provides shuttle transportation for employees coming from the West Berkeley
Amtrak station.
Commuter Check Subsidies: Bayer provides incentives for employees to choose mass
transit—including AC Transit, BART, and Amtrak—by offering a $60 monthly subsidy
through the Commuter Check program. The subsidy is doubled for employees residing
in distant locations including Sacramento, Stockton, and San Jose. In 2009, average
monthly participation in the Commuter Check program was about 260 employees, with
participation peaking in the summer months.

short-trip Reduction programs
As called for in the Development Agreement, Bayer’s site is designed to minimize the
need of employees to engage in short vehicular trips. Features include:
Eating Facilities: Bayer has a large, full-service cafeteria for employees, contractors,
and guests.
On-Site ATM, postage stamp purchase and mail drop-off, banking services (through
Credit Union), dry cleaning pick-up and delivery.
Alternative transportation

Bayer continues to encourage employees—and neighbors—to “think outside the car”
whenever possible.
Bicycling: In addition to DA contributions toward an area-wide bicycling plan and
infrastructure, Bayer has installed 42 bicycle lockers throughout the site. The company
also sponsors a bicycle fair on Bike to Work Day, an event organized by the Bicycle
Friendly Berkeley Coalition. In 2009 the fair featured a free bicycle maintenance class
held in cooperation with Solano Avenue Cyclery: in addition to teaching employees how
to maintain and improve the performance of their bikes, free tune-ups are provided for
all bikes ridden to work that day. Incentive gifts were distributed, including tire repair
kits, bicycle safety lights, and bells. Additionally, a representative of the Bicycle Friendly
Berkeley Coalition spoke, giving employees additional information and advice on biking
to work.
Walking: Bayer provides incentives for walking to work, giving each employee who
walks to work at least twice a week an annual $75 gift certificate for use at a local sporting
goods store for the purchase of related items such as walking shoes.
Telecommuting: Bayer maintains a company policy of supporting telecommuting
options for employees. Some employees telecommute on a regular weekly schedule,
while others do so on a less frequent or regular basis.

surface water Run-off
Bayer continuously monitors the quality of surface water runoff, as required by the
Storm Water General Industrial Permit issued by the State Water Resources Control
Board.
Storm water conveyance systems are visually inspected on a regular basis to ensure
that all discharges are authorized and that the quality of authorized non-storm water
discharges meets permit conditions. Monthly inspections during the wet season are
conducted, along with sampling of storm water during storm events. A report of the
findings for July 2008–June 2009 was submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control
Board.
soil and groundwater monitoring program
All soil generated by construction activities is tested prior to disposal. The formal
ground water monitoring program has been discontinued with the City’s approval,
as the semi-annual monitoring was not generating useful data. Bayer has submitted
applications for final well closure, which will proceed following regulatory approval
from Berkeley’s Toxics Management Division.

emergency preparedness and Risk management
RIsk mAnAgement pRogRAm (CalARp and Rmp )
The substantial refrigeration needed for pharmaceutical production at Bayer’s Berkeley
site is provided by ammonia, which is the most environmentally sound refrigeration
technique but can pose danger in the event of an accidental release. An important
component of Bayer’s Risk Management Program is the community notification and
warning system for an accidental ammonia release. This system, which also issues
instructions for sheltering, continued to be tested at noon on the first Wednesday of
each month throughout 2009.
Bayer has experienced no release from the ammonia refrigeration facility since
installation.
Every five years, Bayer revises the Risk Management Plan for the ammonia refrigeration
facility. In 2009, this plan was revised and accepted by the City of Berkeley. There were
no audits conducted in 2009.
emeRgenCy pRepAReDness
As detailed in the Development Agreement, Bayer maintains a comprehensive
Emergency Response Team and program on site, and also works closely with the City
on annual training, program development, and sharing of resources. This active and
productive relationship with the Berkeley Fire Department includes the extension of
frequent invitations to participate in trainings held at the Bayer site, which provides
opportunities not always available to City employees and which forges lasting bonds
that increase communication and shared effectiveness should crisis strike.
In 2009, Bayer invested approximately $50,000 for outside costs of training, equipment
purchase, and maintenance to support the company’s emergency response program. In
addition, 2,800 hours of Emergency Response Team (ERT) employee time were devoted
to training and exercises. A notable accomplishment in 2009 was training on the use of
the pump on Bayer’s recently purchased fire engine.
Bayer’s ERT consists of 14 employees from all major departments and from all three
shifts. ERT members are selected after passing a Bayer-approved strength and physical
agility test and throughout the year receive extensive, specialized training in five key
specialties:
• Rescue Systems-1 • Hazardous Materials Response
• Confined Space Rescue • Emergency Medical Technician
• Fire Fighting
In 2009, Bayer continued its strict practice of assuring the medical fitness for duty of
all active ERT members. The program, administered by the company’s Occupational
Health Department, requires 100% participation in medical screening surveillance to
assure compliance with National Fire Protection Association Guidelines. These guidelines
exceed those required by public agency fire service personnel.

Community support
The Development Agreement requires Bayer to contribute to an array of programs
representing priorities shared with the City. What began as a collection of mandates has
spurred the company to think and act more deeply on local support for key strategic
issues such as education, environmental protection, and the kind of employee volunteerism
that has been proven to boost employee recruitment and retention.
In 2009 Bayer also engaged with the City in further efforts to strengthen local
programs ranging from mass transit improvements and user incentives, to revenue
generation and economic development.
Bayer sponsored two major fundraising events for Biotech
Partners in 2009—the 15th Anniversary Gala in February, and
the reception at the December BayBio Pantheon Awards
Dinner, where Biotech Partners was honored by this industry
association as Educator of the Year. More than 120 biotech
industry leaders provided their business cards, expressing a
willingness to be contacted for financial support as well as new
paid internships.

education—thirty years of support for Berkeley public schools
“ The education program is designed to achieve the highest feasible graduation rate of trained
skilled technical workers for the positions that will become available at [Bayer], at other
biotechnology companies, and in the health care field.”
BIoteCh pARtneRs
—Development Agreement, pAge g-1-1
exhibit g-1, biotechnology eDucAtion trAining progrAm
The Development Agreement was forged when California was near the nation’s bottom
in public school funding. Cuts made by Sacramento in the budget crisis of 2009 have
dropped the state, unbelievably, to dead last for the coming school year. In these
decades, science education has seen some of the most appalling shortfalls.
Yet over these 17 years more than 1,000 students at Berkeley High School, and more
recently at Oakland Technical High School, have had available to them a focused,
effective curriculum that has introduced them to careers in the high-paying biotech
industry, and has changed the lives of many.
Biotech Partners is one of the most innovative and far-reaching achievements to come
out of the Development Agreement. The award-winning program is a unique response
to the twin concerns of a City looking to provide its diverse youth population—
particularly those from economically disadvantaged families who are not on track to
attend a four-year college—with career opportunities in the face of a waning industrial
base, and a high-tech corporation in fierce competition for qualified employees in fields
including research, manufacturing, and product distribution.
Bayer committed to providing $1.1 million over the first five years for program
development and implementation. The company guaranteed an additional $25,000
(with Consumer Price Index adjustment) annually for the next five years and in 1999,
in the first Amendment to the Development Agreement, agreed to continue funding
through 2021. The company also agreed to place a priority on hiring program graduates,
and to date has hired 48.
Biotech Partners serves approximately 130 students each academic year. Originally
a partnership with Berkeley High School and Laney College, additional corporate
and foundation support has expanded the program into the Oakland Unified School
District. (Bayer funds are not allocated to the Oakland Unified School District, with
the exception of costs including transportation for the annual Career Awareness
Conference.) Students now also go to other Peralta Community College District
schools besides Laney College to meet scheduling needs.
The successes of Biotech Partners have far exceeded initial expectations, and Bayer’s
commitment has grown as a result.

significant Accomplishments:
• California’s high school drop-out rate is 24%, and Berkeley High’s is 12%—but since
Biotech Partners began in 1993, 98% of its students have graduated. In the last five
years, every student who completed the program graduated from high school.
• 50% of the students who began the community college curriculum with the Peralta
Community College District in June 2008 completed their certificate requirements by
December 2009. Another 10% are in the process of completion. Since 1993 the overall
completion rate of the community college program is nearly 60%—more than twice the
national average of students completing community college certificate programs.
• Biotech Partners student interns have earned more than $3 million to date.
• In 2009, all four Berkeley Chamber of Commerce College Scholarships (at $1,000
each) were awarded to Biotech Partners students.
• Numerous employers report that Biotech Partners graduates come better prepared for
their positions than graduates coming from four-year universities, noting that they
believe this is in large measure due to the program’s pairing of both academic and
on-the-job training.

* A significant number of Biotech Academy high school graduates are going on to four-year colleges rather
than advancing to the Biotech Career Institute at the Peralta Community Colleges. This also explains the
reduced numbers of seniors in the program, since many students need to take additional classes in their
senior year to qualify for college admission. The fact that so many of these students began the high school
program as low academic performers, and often are the first in their families to attend a four-year college,
is indeed one of the great validations of the vision that created Biotech Partners.

teacher training
Through the Development Agreement Bayer has funded summer internships for
Biotech Academy and Career Institute teachers—a total of 15 since 1992, at a cost of
more than $65,000. This opportunity provides the teachers with ongoing guidance so as
to coor dinate classroom learning with industry needs. No teachers applied for an internship
in 2009.

the organization
CommunIty suppoRt
“ The program director shall actively seek additional funding partners including
governments, foundations and corporations. These funds will be added to
[Bayer’s] contribution. . . . At a mature stage (beginning in years six through

and community college systems.”
—Development Agreement, pAges g-1-2 AnD 3
Biotech Partners, a California not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation with a staff of six in
2009, operates in collaboration with the Berkeley and Oakland Unified School Districts
and the Peralta Community College District. It is under the oversight and active
management of a 15-member industry- and community-based Board of Directors.
Biotech Partners has generated support from foundations and corporations, as well as
from additional grants through the Bayer USA Foundation. The organization has yet to
achieve the original vision of being “assimilated into the public school and community
college systems”—but work toward that goal, aided by the increasing recognition the
program is generating with policy makers, continues.
2009 brought financial difficulties to Biotech Partners due to the completion of several
large grants, and also to the economic crisis. One of the six staff members was laid off
for lack of funds, and other cuts reduced the annual budget from the original $600,000
approved by the board to $450,000. In response, Bayer went beyond the role of founding
funder, providing strategic and technical assistance in organizational development.
We continue to work with elected officials and educational organizations to develop a
sustainable business model that will allow the program to maintain services into the
future through greater institutionalization and collaboration. Our goal is a healthy
future for this winning program, and possible replication into other schools and other
high-tech, green industries.
On February 5, 2009, 27 juniors from Berkeley High and 13 from Oakland
Tech came to Bayer for the Career Awareness Conference. Noted Berkeley
High student Alberto Gonzalez in a sample evaluation, “It helped
because I saw people who were once where I am and if they can do it
then so can I. I liked how they talked about their real life experiences.”

“. . . to encourage basic education in areas related to biotechnology.”
A qualified workforce—and community understanding and support of biotech and
other science industries—is crucial to Bayer’s future success. For this reason the
company has a longstanding global commitment to science education. Through the
Development Agreement, Bayer agreed to support science education with a thirty-year
grant of $10,000 annually (with a consumer price index adjustment each year), payable
to the Berkeley Public Education Foundation.
In 2009, the Foundation again applied Bayer funds to two programs that systemically
strengthen science education in local schools.
The first sent all of Berkeley’s more than 500 fifth graders to the Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, as a key component of a District-wide elementary school science
curriculum. The half-day workshop with Lab scientists engaged students in hands-on
science activities and provided tours of the Lab’s extensive facilities.
Bayer funds also went once again to Community Resources for Science, which trains
teachers at all Berkeley elementary schools in how to teach science most effectively, and
provides them resources to enrich their teaching and fascinate students with hands-on
studies of metals, gases, birth, growth, and other key science concepts.
sponsorship of local science fairs
The DA requires Bayer to provide annual support for middle school science fairs,
primarily to supply materials and other necessities for students in financial need.
Berkeley schools, however, curtailed science fairs several years ago. The Berkeley Public
Education Foundation continues to hold in reserve funds paid by Bayer through 2007
for this purpose, and will release them at such time as science fairs are revived. Bayer
will resume annual payments for science fairs at that time.

The DA requires Bayer to go first to the City’s First Source employment program
when recruiting candidates for both non-technical and technical openings. From 1992
through 2009, 163 non-technical hires—65 percent of the total—have been Berkeley
residents, with a total of 49 percent coming through First Source. Bayer looks forward
to continued work with the City on efforts to hire from our local talent pool.
In 2009 the City ceased direct employment referral services, but retained its preferential
local hiring policy through the Housing & Community Services Department. Bayer
met with City staff to update procedures to reflect the changes in the First Source
program design. Individual job applicants are referred through Bayer’s website
http://www.bayerjobs.com, which provides up-to-date job information for Bayer’s
East Bay sites including Emeryville and Richmond.
In 2009 Bayer also worked with City staff to update employment outreach materials
and align outreach with the City and other local workforce development programs.
Program staff are invited to bring any particularly qualified applicant directly to the
attention of Bayer’s hiring personnel.
Finally, Bayer has actively partnered with the City to educate West Berkeley businesses
and explore hiring incentives provided by the Enterprise Zone, which was expanded
into West Berkeley from Oakland, effective December 1, 2009.

Affordable housing
CommunIty suppoRt
“ The program objective is to increase the supply of permanently affordable housing, in the
city of Berkeley, by 21 units with an average size of two bedrooms . . . for a total not to
exceed $615,413.”
Over the first ten years of the Development Agreement, Bayer paid a total of $884,140
to the City’s Housing Trust Fund. No further payments were required after 2002.
The funds were used to increase affordable housing throughout the city—with at least
50 percent earmarked for West Berkeley—through the provision of two first-time
homebuyer’s loans, three mortgage interest subsidies, and the rehabilitation of four
existing homes to provide housing for individuals including very-low-income developmentally
disabled children and homeless families.

Working with the City and local non-profit child care providers, Bayer has made
significant contributions toward innovative child care solutions, both for its employees
and for parents throughout the city—particularly those with low incomes.

and represents about 25 percent of the program’s total annual budget.
BAnAnAs—InfAnt AnD ChIlD CARe
Bayer is proud to be among the nation’s “Best Employers for Working Mothers,”
as honored again in 2009 in Working Mother Magazine. However, space and budget
constraints at the Berkeley site have delayed the company’s goals of providing an on-site
child care center.
In 1992, Bayer agreed to fund through 2002 annual child care subsidies for low-income
Berkeley families. In the 1999 First Amendment to the Development Agreement, Bayer
agreed to continue the subsidies with lump sum payments every six years in the event
the company has not constructed an on-site child care facility for employees. The first
payment under the Amendment, of $135,478, was made to BANANAS, Berkeley’s statedesignated
child care Resource and Referral Agency, in 2004. BANANAS has invested
this money, and in 2009 used earnings and carry-over funds from the Bayer payments
to provide child care subsidies of $400 per month to 16 eligible low-income families.

BAnAnAs—health Care and safety training for Child Care providers
With Bayer’s support, BANANAS offers a robust training program for child care providers
living and working in Berkeley. BANANAS provides outreach to the provider
community about the Bayer program through its website and newsletter, in workshops,
and in mailings to directors of child care centers and family child care providers.
More than 120 local child care providers and teachers attended two workshops
convened by BANANAS in 2009: “Stop, Drop and Roll: Fire Safety Workshop”
and “Don’t Let the Flu Bug You and Your Child Care Program.” In addition to the
workshops, BANANAS sent a CD with fire safety songs, and an informational packet
on “preparing for the flu,” to every child care program in Berkeley.
Throughout the year 104 child care providers working or living in Berkeley engaged in
15-hour health and safety training, with scholarships of up to $100 per person provided
by Bayer funds. Bayer funds also enabled BANANAS to offer more than 20 classes to
127 participants on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first aid, and preventive health for
child care providers who speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Twenty-four teenaged babysitters attended a class in CPR and first aid in June, 2009.

“ In order to preserve a record of the Miles site and its role in the West Berkeley
manufacturing area and to commemorate the social history of West Berkeley, Miles will
assemble an historical exhibit . . . incorporating photographs of the site and the people
who worked there, objects utilized in the manufacture of products, samples of products
manufactured at the location, and a narrative history . . .”
The envisioned historical exhibit has over time resulted
in A Century of Innovation and Caring: The History of
Bayer and Cutter Laboratories in Berkeley, a narrated
DVD completed in the fall of 2007 and distributed with
the 2007 Annual Report to the City. It includes photos

The community foundation established through the Development Agreement continues
in operation today, and has played an important role in the community since its
inception in 1992.
A lasting achievement was the rebuilding of Rosa Parks Elementary School after it was
destroyed by the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. It was the West Berkeley Foundation
that provided the initial seed grant that launched the three-year. community-based
campaign that raised $1.2 million to build a new beacon school that offers a model K–5
science curriculum, one of the Bay Area’s most active and effective Family Resource
Centers, and strong, collaborative leadership. Bayer Foundation funds were instrumental
in this success, contributing $150,000 to build the Bayer Youth Science Center, and
both the West Berkeley Foundation and Bayer continue to support the school with
contributions of cash and volunteer time.
Because of the ten-year Bayer contributions, the West Berkeley Foundation did not
begin life as a fundraising foundation. In 2009 the all-volunteer Board has been
examining various futures for the organization, and did not make any grants.

RequIRements of the Development AgReement
In 2008 Bayer moved all animals off the Berkeley campus, to its research and development
facility in Richmond, California. Nonetheless, in 2009 Bayer continued to comply
with the DA in relevant areas.
The Development Agreement requires that a representative from the City’s Citizens’
Humane Commission serve on Bayer’s federally-mandated Institutional Animal Care
and Use Committee (IACUC). Sherry Schacter, D.V.M., has served in this capacity
since 2004. Regulations require these animal care committees to meet twice a year, but
Bayer maintains a policy of meeting monthly, with semi-annual tours of the facility
conducted at the June and December meetings. The IACUC met eight times in 2009,
and Dr. Schacter attended seven of the meetings.
Federal law mandates that, prior to any animal experiment, a protocol for animal use
must be submitted to Bayer’s IACUC for review and approval. Non-animal or nonpainful
alternatives must be used whenever possible. Bayer scientists and IACUC
members continue to work together to minimize the number of animals used, and
ensure that they are used only when there is no safe alternative.
The Development Agreement also requires that an annual report from the company’s
IACUC be submitted to the Citizens’ Humane Commission, reviewing the prior year’s
activities and programs. Bayer employees responsible for the administration of the
animal care program are available to respond to questions from the Citizens’ Humane
Commission.
49

50
Finally, the DA requires a biennial Animal Care and Usage Seminar for Bayer employees
and members of the City’s Humane Commission. In 2009 Bayer presented this
three hour workshop at its Richmond research facility. Thirty-six employees attended,
in addition to Sherry Schacter and the Rev. Dimitri Jakimowicz of Berkeley’s Humane
Commission.
ReseARCh Into sAfe AlteRnAtIves to AnImAl testIng
Over the first ten years of the Development Agreement, a total of $175,000 was required
for research into alternatives to the use of animals in pharmaceutical research and
testing. Recipients of these funds have included leading researchers in the field: the
Animal Dairy and Veterinary Science Department of Utah State University, Logan;
the Center for Animal Alternatives at the University of California, Davis, School
of Veterinary Medicine; the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana
University, Bloomington; the International Foundation of Ethical Research in Chicago;
and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation’s Department of Neurological Surgery. This
research contributed to a growing body of knowledge about alternatives to animal
use in research, and the most humane treatment in the decreasing instances when no
alternatives are present.

Bayer HealthCare maintains a proud tradition of corporate citizenship at all levels of
management. Our programs have four pillars: philanthropy, employee volunteerism,
environmental protection, and public policy leadership. In the particularly difficult year
that was 2009, our focus more than ever was on projects that hold the highest promise
for meeting urgent needs and delivering tangible results.
Corporate citizenship is good for business: West Coast giving priorities focus on
protecting our environment, supporting our patients, inspiring students to consider
careers in biotech, building trust and confidence within the cities where we operate,
and keeping our employees as proud of the way we do business as they are of the
medicines we make.

This year Bayer awarded nearly $400,000 in 35 grants ranging from $1,000 to $93,000.
The San Francisco Business Times ranked Bayer 35th in corporate philanthropy, among
the highest for corporations that are not headquartered in the Bay Area. Bayer contributed
another $9,235 in matches to $9,250 in employee contributions made through the
Giving Station, the company’s on-line charitable giving system.
In 2009 Bayer earned the prestigious “Education Partner of the Year—Beyond the

“ Companies like Bayer will always need a steady stream of well-educated, wellprepared
employees with STEM backgrounds—science, technology, engineering
and mathematics. Yes, we can shop around the world for talent, but there’s
always going to be a need for local context, for having someone with the
knowledge to know what will work in his or her local setting.”

Whether finding cures for cancer or addressing climate change, Bayer believes in
“science for a better life,” and has long recognized the need for corporate leadership in
the urgent effort to develop new generations of scientific talent.
This was the motivation behind Bayer’s sponsorship of Biotech Partners in the 1992
Development Agreement, and behind Making Science Make Sense, an education
program that was formally launched in 1995 after a few employees at Bayer’s Pittsburgh
headquarters initiated the first classroom projects in 1992.
Making Science Make Sense is an award winning program that directs both philanthropic
dollars and employee volunteerism into science education throughout the
nation. In 2008, Bayer’s Making Science Make Sense program was honored by the
National Science Board for Public Service.
In the Bay Area, Bayer is a leader in supporting curriculum development, teacher
training, and diversity recruitment both in grades K–12 and through to the college
and post-doctorate levels. All contributions made to education through Exhibit G-1
of the Development Agreement fall within Making Science Make Sense.
Engaging hands-on science
education at all grade levels
is a grantmaking priority for
Bayer.

Bayer places a high priority on providing financial and volunteer support for patients
who rely on the company’s pharmaceutical products. Both at the Berkeley site and on
a national scale the company makes grants to the World Hemophilia Foundation and
various local chapters throughout the country. Bayer’s support for the Hemophilia
Foundation of Northern California includes grants as well as extensive employee
participation in major activities including the annual Holiday Party for children with
hemophilia, held at Children’s Hospital of Oakland, and Camp Hemotion, a three-day
summer camp held in the mountains of Central California.

In 2009 Bayer invigorated its longstanding volunteer program with the launch of
BASEC. BASEC complements our philanthropic giving in encouraging employees,
especially department teams, to deliver their time and talent to local non-profits in our
priority giving areas. This year BASEC projects included repainting two shelters as well
as preparing and serving dinner for clients of the Berkeley Food and Housing Project;
25 employees signing up for training and classroom placements through Community
Resources for Science; science presentations and curriculum development at the South
Berkeley YMCA’s afterschool Learning Academy; bringing calculus to life with classroom
presentations and Berkeley site tours for students at Diablo Valley College; and
volunteering in classrooms and after-school programs at schools throughout the East
Bay. Employees also engage frequently in runs, walks, bike rides, and other fundraising
activities for a range of causes including environmental protection and clean-up, youth
and senior citizen programs, and treatment and cures for diseases outside of Bayer’s
specific therapeutic areas. In 2004, Bayer’s enthusiastic school volunteers were honored
by the Berkeley Public Education Foundation as “Volunteers of the Year.”
In-kind Donations
Finally, Bayer maintains a firm policy of “recycling” surplus equipment by donating
usable items to local schools and non-profits. In 2009 the value of these donations
totaled $168,353. Donations included microscopes and a freezer to Cal State Sacramento,
lab supplies to Merritt College and Contra Costa College, binders for science students
at De Anza High School, and lab equipment to UC Berkeley’s Department of
Bioengineering.

Twelve high school students from Germany and the U.S. were awarded fellowships to
attend Bayer’s 2009 International Sustainability Summer Camp last July in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. Patricia Gonzalez from Richmond High School, and Takota Bennett
from Leadership Preparatory School, a public charter school in Richmond, were the
first West Coast students to attend the ten day, all-expenses-paid camp.
The camp combined environmental and cultural education. “There was an emphasis on
learning about each other’s culture and lifestyle, as well as comparing the environmental
initiatives in each country,” noted Takota Bennett.
Campers paddled through streams affected by runoff from coal mines while collecting
water samples. “The stream was orange from oxidation, which harms the fish who live
there,” Takota Bennett explained. “We found more fish than we expected, which is a
promising sign.” The campers went on to analyze the samples with microscopes in a lab.
“I enjoy working outside,” Takota said, “but I realize it’s important to do work in a lab
as well, to make our findings conclusive.”
With their newfound knowledge, Patricia and Takota are taking steps to improve
the environment in their community. Last year, both students participated in The
Watershed Project, an after school environmental education program funded in part by
Bayer. Patricia announced, “I want to tell The Watershed Project how we need to get
more kids involved, this is important!”
Takota is drawing up plans to make his school more sustainable. “My school should
get a rain barrel to decrease erosion in the area. And, we could use the water to water
plants on campus, which will help during times of drought.” He realizes that the project
is more likely to be implemented if there are many students supporting it, “I would
like to involve some of my friends. I think they would like learning more about the
environment.”
The program was funded by the Bayer USA Foundation and the Bayer Science and
Education Foundation in Germany, as part of the company’s efforts to promote science
education and sustainability.

H-13/Item 3 off-site exposure to plague Bacilli due
to Accidental Release: Catastrophic
events such as earthquakes of
magnitude 6.5 or higher could result in
a failure in the integrity of the plague
building containment system and
cause the release of the plague bacilli.
In aerosol form (as particles on dust),
the bacilli could be inhaled and cause
pneumonic plague. Emergency
responders and off-site populations
could be exposed in this way if plague
organisms were released as a result of
catastrophic events. 5H-39
H-13/Item 4 exposure to Class 1 and 2 microorganisms
during Research and
Development Activities and during
quality Assurance Activities: Class 1
organisms are not known to cause
disease in healthy adult humans, so
accidental exposure would not impact
laboratory handlers. Class 2 viruses,
such as measles and polio, which are
used in virus-inactivation studies, are
handled using safety equipment and
procedures that minimize risk of
exposure. However, if all precautions
fail, in the event of catastrophe,
individuals both on and off-site could

12) Project traffic would increase year 2010
peak hour vehicle delay at 5
intersections by 54 total hours.
west Berkeley BARt shuttle:
Bayer to provide continued funding of publicly
administered shuttle program at maximum level of
$50,000 annually throughout term of Agreement
(2022).
multi-shift employment:
Bayer to provide for continuous implementation of
swing/graveyard employment (traffic off-peak hours)
which averages 18% of total work force throughout
term of Agreement (2022). Continuation of this
program (which is currently in effect) will reduce both
parking and traffic impacts.
tDm programs:
Bayer to continue implementation of transportation
demand management programs from 1992
Development Agreement at current levels throughout
term of Agreement (2022). Continuation of this
program (which is currently in effect) will reduce both
parking and traffic impacts.
project management:
Implement parking program to fully satisfy Bayer’s
projected peak parking demands on site at all times.
Parking supply will be verified at time of each new
construction project to demonstrate adequacy both
during construction and upon completion/occupancy.
A total of 1,078 parking spaces must be available with
anticipated year 2005 construction, and 1,329 parking
spaces with full buildout (anticipated in 2010).
sum of mitigation measures:
Application of traffic mitigation measures “a” through
“k” would provide net reduction in peak hour vehicle
delay at five intersections of 350 total hours.
