  • Sponsoring of the National Paralympic Committee Germany
  • Herbert Grünewald Foundation for the promotion of sports possibilities for the disabled

The commitment is designed to help increase the acceptance of disabled sports in Germany. The company also hopes that numerous young disabled people draw courage from the idols in the world of sport at its highest level, draw confidence and live their life accordingly.

The TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen Disabled Sports Department can offer its members, who now number more than 300, a large variety of competitive, rehabilitation and recreational sports. So far, Bayer-backed disabled athletes have managed to win 55 medals at the Paralympics.

The Herbert Grünewald Foundation for encouraging sports among the disabled has been a cornerstone for disabled sports since being founded in 1981 and is further evidence of Bayer's commitment to sports for the disabled.
