As a research-based enterprise, Bayer place great emphasis on promoting science education for your people and has therefore been committed to promoting youth environmental programs for many years. In cooperation with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Bayer organizes and promotes a number of specific projects which aim to improve knowledge about the environment among young people and support them in their environmental commitment. One of these is the "Bayer Young Environmental Envoy Program".
Under this program, selected students go to Germany on a weeklong study tour to experience how environmental protection is practiced by people, government and industry in one of the leading countries with regards to technology and environmental awareness.
The visit to the global headquarters of the Bayer Group in Germany demonstrates how companies - through product development and responsible manufacturing processes - contribute to sustainable development.
Initiated in 1998 as a local project in Thailand, the program included participants from the Philippines and Singapore from 2001 on. The program was further extended to India in 2002, China in 2003, Poland, Indonesia, Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador in 2004, Peru as well as Kenya in 2005 and to Vietnam and Malaysia in 2006. In 2007, Turkey joins the program for the first time.
