Engaged worldwide

As a pharmaceutical company, Bayer Schering Pharma sees itself as an important part of society. We don't only work for economic success; our responsibility goes deeper. Our actions are marked by respect for people and for nature.

For our company, this specifically means that

We want to ensure the long-term economic success of our company with innovative drugs and therapies.
We cultivate a sustainable attitude to our use of natural resources.
We are a reliable employer and trainer, as well as a good neighbor at all our sites worldwide.

Innovation is the key to Bayer Schering Pharma's economic success; it is also at the core of our social engagement. This is why we invest considerable sums every year in the research and development of new drugs and therapies. We want all people – regardless of where they come from or how much they earn – to be able to benefit from this progress.

The main focus of our social engagement is on long-term cooperation with recognized development organizations and international bodies. Our engagement has three clear priorities:

In more than 130 countries, we actively support the cause of giving people access to a wide range of family-planning methods, irrespective of their income.
We support the fight against neglected tropical diseases.
We offer programs for improving access to innovative medicines.

We also pursue sustainable development with our corporate policy. This policy is based on the belief that economics, ecology and society can be mutually consistent.
