Bayer 04 releases sustainability report

Fernando Carro, Bayer 04 CEO: "Bayer 04 has already underlined the significance of the subject area with the establishment of the sustainability department in 2022. As an organisation in the spotlight of publicity, we want to make a substantial contribution to social responsibility – the sustainability report documents this awareness in great detail."

In addition to the comprehensive activity and project reports plus strategic considerations in the area of sustainability, the report also contains concrete figures from the reporting year of 2023. These are consciously aligned to the reporting standard VSME ESRS (Voluntary Small and Medium Enterprise European Sustainability Reporting Standards) that was published as a draft by the EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group). Matthias Adler, head of the sustainability department at Bayer 04, said: "A broad body of data basis for reflecting on and maximising processes at the club. The associated process, which all sections at Bayer 04 continue to be involved in, highlights what Bayer 04 is about now – and where we want to be in the future. Our new sustainability strategy will help us with that."

The 2023 sustainability report is available now at bayer04.de. In addition, there will be a limited printed edition.
