| Arthur Higgins, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Bayer HealthCare AG |
Bayer HealthCare believes that sustainable business means taking account of the needs of both present and future generations. This applies especially in health care, but also in environmental protection, safety and comprehensive product stewardship. Yet the social responsibility of our research-based company, which is one of the world’s leading specialty pharmaceutical companies, goes well beyond these considerations.
Bayer HealthCare believes that it has an obligation to consider in full the ethical aspects of using modern biotechnology in medical applications, and to find solutions to enable as many people as possible to have access to life-saving drugs, particularly in developing countries. Another, increasingly important challenge facing the subgroup is the growing life expectancy in many societies and the associated increase in medical needs.

| Patrick W. Thomas, Chairman of the Board of Management of Bayer MaterialScience AG |
Like the other subgroups, Bayer MaterialScience holds to the belief that safety, environmental protection, product and process quality and economic efficiency are factors of equal importance in the drive for commercial success. Sustainability is therefore seen as a fundamental principle for all employees and characterizes both our production and our product portfolio. For example, materials from Bayer MaterialScience make a significant contribution to the improvement of energy efficiency in both building insulation and automotive construction.
Climate protection has become a major challenge for all sectors of industry. In the past Bayer MaterialScience has already endeavored to increase the energy efficiency of its production processes. At the same time, climate protection opens up new growth opportunities for Bayer MaterialScience, which it wants to utilize with innovative and energy-efficient solutions. In this way the subgroup can also make an important contribution to sustainable development.
