Creating a more sustainable planet means working to transform the entire value chain of agriculture. Bayer’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions goes beyond our own operations. We have the products, relationships, technology and talent to help companies across the agriculture supply chain reduce their carbon footprints.
The Bayer Advantage
Sustainability is a core commitment of Bayer’s business. Our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiatve (SBTi) are in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We’ve been at the forefront of setting global protocols for how carbon sequestration is measured and for verifying the impact of sustainable practices to ensure your products follow the appropriate standards.
Our Ecosystem Services
Meeting carbon emissions reduction targets across the supply chain is critical to addressing the climate crisis, and we have the tools to help your efforts make an impact. Our services include:

Not sure where to begin? We’ll chart a path to help you see what’s possible. We’ll also capture and report on metrics for sustainability at large, so you’ll have a better understanding of the contribution you’re making.
Scope 3 Reductions
Since 2015, Bayer has been working with local and international stakeholders to build out greenhouse gas-accounting frameworks for Scope 3 reporting. We’ll help you drive long-lasting change with growers whose practices affect your Scope 3 reduction targets.

More on the Menu
Making farming more sustainable requires the adoption of technologies and practices that work across many interacting components. We’re addressing this first by focusing on ways we can reduce carbon emissions in supply chains and support growers in the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices – practices that benefit soil health, protect water resources, enhance biodiversity and support social and economic well-being. Our grower-centric approach to regenerative agriculture programs helps to achieve an array of important outcomes.

As we work toward a net-zero future, regenerative agriculture can lead the way in the race to achieve it by 2050.
