Driving sustainability across the agriculture value chain

Sustainability is a core commitment of Bayer’s business. Our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiatve (SBTi) are in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We’ve been at the forefront of setting global protocols for how carbon sequestration is measured and for verifying the impact of sustainable practices to ensure your products follow the appropriate standards.

Meeting carbon emissions reduction targets across the supply chain is critical to addressing the climate crisis, and we have the tools to help your efforts make an impact. Our services include:

Making farming more sustainable requires the adoption of technologies and practices that work across many interacting components. We’re addressing this first by focusing on ways we can reduce carbon emissions in supply chains and support growers in the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices – practices that benefit soil health, protect water resources, enhance biodiversity and support social and economic well-being. Our grower-centric approach to regenerative agriculture programs helps to achieve an array of important outcomes.
