Bayer Fosters Diversity in Its Supplier Base

The Bayer Supplier Inclusion & Diversity program provides equitable access to procurement opportunities globally. Bayer proactively considers qualified businesses owned by persons who have historically not been granted full participation in business activities. Diverse businesses are those that are majority owned and controlled by women, people with disabilities, LGBT+ people, minorities or members of other disadvantaged communities.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion plays an important role in Bayer’s success and in driving innovative supply chain solutions. Sustaining and growing Bayer’s business requires diverse perspectives and the flexibility to collaborate with a variety of people and companies. Increasing our diverse supplier base and sharing our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and access with all suppliers ensures Bayer is improving the social and economic outcomes for underrepresented communities.

Conducting business with diverse suppliers enhances Bayer’s competitive advantage which enables Bayer to provide innovative and cost-effective products to customers. These efforts contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth and enable diverse suppliers to grow to meet Bayer’s sourcing needs.
