What do we believe?
Diversity Mission Statement
Our continued mission is to:
Lead the company in the direction that truly values and cultivates the similarities and differences of our employees, customers, and supplier base, thereby building an inclusive work environment, increasing our productivity, our ability to be innovative, and our human potential.
We Value Diversity
Diversity is a mixture of all similarities and differences. At Bayer, valuing and managing diversity optimizes our individual and collective talents to achieve a competitive advantage.
Diversity at Bayer Consumer Care
Diversity at Bayer Consumer Care is the individuality each colleague brings to achieving our business goals. This individuality, both visible and invisible, allows or unique perspectives which foster creativity and maximize business potential.
Why Is Diversity Important?
Developing and managing a strong, diverse organization is essential to achieving our vision of becoming the leading consumer healthcare company.
To meet this vision, we must achieve excellent business results in all the markets we serve. These results will be driven by a group of talented professionals who reflect our diverse and changing consumer and customer base and who can understand and leverage societal and demographic shifts to achieve strong business growth.
We are committed to becoming an employer of choice by building a culture that attracts, retains and develops the best qualified people. Our vision is to become one of the best places to work by building an environment that accepts, respects and encourages individuality. Our culture fosters honesty, teamwork and entrepreneurship — which are essential to building and maintaining a leadership position.
Bayer Consumer Care Diversity Council
To help build a diverse business environment, Bayer Consumer Care participates in Bayer Corporation’s interdivisional Diversity Advisory Council. We have also established our own Diversity Council which focuses on issues such as Talent Sourcing, Employer of Choice, Education & Awareness and Communication.
We believe in Social Responsibility
Our commitment to social responsibility is visible in many areas. One very visible way is through our products, which greatly improve people’s quality of life and even save lives, as in the case of Bayer Aspirin. Other ways we are Changing the World with Great Care are through our Corporate Sponsorships and community involvement. We actively support the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Red Cross and United Way organizations. We share our prosperity by donating to the Easter Seals Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charities as part of two annual divisional initiatives.
In the local community, Bayer is involved in many ways — from sponsoring summer camp and educational scholarships for disadvantaged children, to supporting local art and music programs, to our annual coat drive for those in need. We are also very proud of Bayer’s award-winning science education program, “Making Science Make Sense”, which brings hands-on, inquiry-based learning into the classroom. This program has been helping to promote science in school districts nationwide for over 30 years. Hundreds of Bayer employees in Morris County and throughout the country volunteer their time in schools, zoos, museums and their communities.
We believe we have a responsibility to the world around us. In addition to making products that enhance the lives of our consumers, we believe it is important to support the communities in which we live and work.
We believe in Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to improving the quality of life in the world while conserving precious natural resources and minimizing the environmental impact of our activities. We comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and work with government and industry groups to foster the development of health, environment and safety programs. At Bayer, it is the responsibility of all employees to ensure that the company’s environmental protection objectives are achieved.
