Mission Statement
Common values and leadership principles
To supplement the Corporate Compliance Policy, Bayer has drawn up a Group mission statement setting out the principles underlying Bayer’s corporate strategy. It outlines our corporate philosophy and the framework for our business activity to stockholders, customers, employees and the general public. Common values and leadership principles are considered essential for all employees in their daily work. The values include a will to succeed; a passion for our stakeholders; integrity, openness and honesty; respect for people and nature; and the sustainability of our actions. The assessment of managers’ performance on the basis of defined leadership principles helps to ensure adherence to these values throughout the enterprise.
