Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the fields of health care, nutrition and high-tech materials. Our products and services are designed to benefit people and improve their quality of life. At the same time we want to create value through innovation, growth and improved earning power.

We already successfully reorganized the Bayer Group and further streamlined our portfolio to create a new Bayer that is focused on its corporate strengths, its customers and the markets of the future. To help us achieve this goal, we then carried out a strategic realignment in order to concentrate in future on three high-potential, agile subgroups with largely independent operations: HealthCare, CropScience and MaterialScience, supported by three service companies. Our operating companies give us the access we need to the growth markets of the future.
