Response to Conflict in the Middle East

The company has taken a clear stance in conflicts. Bayer looks after the safety of its employees and supports civilians through its products and humanitarian aid.

As a company, we are devastated by the October 7 terrorist attacks of Hamas against Israel and condemn terrorism of all kinds. Since the October 7 attacks, the tragic human suffering has continued. We stand in solidarity with the people of Israel, particularly our employees there, and all innocent people in Gaza and the broader region who are impacted by the conflict.

Faithful to our mission “Health for All, Hunger for none”, we are serving essential healthcare and agriculture products to the civilian population. 

We plead for an end to the violence and progress toward a lasting peace.

Bayer provides healthcare support to Gaza

Bayer has made a donation of medicines and healthcare products to the civilian population in Gaza and will continue partnering with reputable NGOs to ensure further support reaches those in need. The relief support includes in total 1 million units of antibiotics, vitamins, food supplements for pregnant women and new mothers and other women's health products. Through this donation, we will reach about every second civil citizen in Gaza with medicines and products.

Employee and company donations to NGOs

Bayer also launched an employee donation campaign in 2023 to provide support to civilians affected by the conflict in both, Israel and Gaza. In addition to the employee donations, the company pledged a donation of 25,000 euros to each of the two NGOs we partnered with to provide relief to civilians in need.
