Sustainable investment

Leverkusen – Bayer shares have once again been included in major sustainability indices in 2008. The company’s sustainability performance has again earned it a place in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World, which means it has been included in this index every year since the index was established in 1999. However, Bayer is no longer part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index STOXX in Europe, despite improving its performance compared with last year. Bayer has also been included in the FTSE4Good indices, managed by a joint venture of the London Stock Exchange and the Financial Times, since this series of sustainability indices was established in 2001.

“We are delighted that the financial market acknowledges our endeavors in the field of environmentally and socially acceptable economic development," says Bayer AG Management Board member Dr. Wolfgang Plischke.
