Driving Sustainability Across the Agriculture Value Chain
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.
Supported the adoption of sustainable practices on more than 3.6 million acres, with an additional 10 million acres in the pipeline.
More than 22 programs/projects across all regions generating high-integrity carbon credits and/or supporting our global customers to reduce their carbon footprints in the agricultural supply chain.
