Shouldering responsibility during the crisis

Right from the start of the pandemic, we’ve been helping in many ways. We donated money, medicines, protective equipment and medical appliances worth €29 million in more than 60 countries. On top of that, we’ve helped by providing additional testing capacities. And at Group headquarters in Leverkusen, we’ve made our cultural events venue available as a COVID-19 vaccination center. 

We managed to keep the company running successfully despite this major crisis, and continue providing farmers, patients and consumers with urgently needed and in some cases life-saving products. At the same time we succeeded in protecting our workforce and minimizing the number of COVID-19 infections in the company.

We believe that COVID-19 vaccines are an essential part of the solution in fighting this pandemic. It is medically strongly recommended to receive and complete the vaccination to acquire its maximum protection.

As a responsible employer, we would like to provide vaccine access to all our employees in a timely manner, while always respecting the local national regulations. We also support establishing on-site vaccination programs wherever feasible and possible. Vaccinating ourselves protects us, our families and the society.
