Bayer is committed to fostering transparency in its dealings with health care professionals and organizations. This is in order to support building trusted relationships between our organization and the communities we serve.

Transparency directly aligns with our corporate value of Integrity, and we continue to strive to ensure that the pharmaceutical industry communicates with openness where we do business.

In Canada, the voluntary disclosure framework was developed by Innovative Medicines Canada, an organization of which Bayer is a member. As a member of this organization, Bayer works to ensure that companies like ours act with a high degree of transparency and ethical standards.

Bayer Canada regularly interacts with and invests into the Canadian health care system. We consult with Canadian healthcare professionals (HCPs) and others in the scientific community as part of our product development. We provide grants and sponsorships to healthcare organizations (HCOs) primarily for scientific purposes. We may also sponsor HCPs to attend international congresses for scientific exchange to benefit Canadians.

We are proud of the support we provide to the healthcare industry for ongoing medical education and other permitted activities.
