Caring for our Community
We believe in the spirit of community and demonstrate this in countless ways from our strong participation in the annual United Way campaign to our leadership in science education and reform through our partnership with the Kansas Life Sciences Institute. And through Bayer's Making Science Make Sense program, employee volunteers help ignite a love for science among middle school students by providing hands-on, inquiry-based instruction and demonstrations.
Protecting Our Planet
In keeping with our global mission statement, "Bayer: Science for a Better Life," we are dedicated to enabling the
next generation to live and work in a sustainable environment. Each year, Bayer provides 12 students from across the
