Bayer Animal Health presents new sustainable development report

Bayer Animal Health has announced the presentation of a new sustainable development report.

Dr Wolfgang Plischke, member of the board of management responsible for innovation, technology and environment, stated that the firm’s goal is to continue growing without placing an additional burden on the global climate.

Speaking at a press conference in Berlin, he said: “We can only be successful as a company in the long term if our business activities are balanced with the social needs of humanity and the ecological demands of our time.”

Current estimates indicate that the total greenhouse gas emissions of the Bayer group will remain at their current levels until 2020, despite a growth in production.

The firm also notes that between 1990 and 2007, it lowered its absolute emissions by a total of 37 per cent.

Earlier this month, Bayer announced the successful acquisition of the over-the-counter brand portfolio of USA-based firm Sagmel.
