Bayer AG said Tuesday that an independent external council would
advise the company on its sustainability efforts.
The Leverkusen, Germany-based pharmaceutical and agriscience
company said the council is made up of nine experts, including
academics and nonprofit leaders, and will review Bayer's progress
and advise the company's board.
"Their great expertise will help us to systematically develop
sustainability as a cornerstone of our strategic alignment, and
enable us to respect our planet's boundaries, reach out to those
who are in need and foster partnerships and alliances," said Werner
Baumann, chairman and chief sustainability officer at Bayer, in
prepared remarks.
The move builds on sustainability targets that Bayer pledged
last year, including reaching carbon neutrality and reducing
greenhouse-gas emissions from large agricultural markets and the
environmental impact of crop protection by 30%.
