Supplier management
The Bayer Group’s annual purchasing volume currently amounts to about €13 billion, which is distributed among approximately 40,000 suppliers. The roughly 1,000 employees of our global Procurement Community also evaluate supplier offers according to minimum standards as regards social, employee-related and ecological aspects as our Policy from 2005 stipulates.
In 2006, a cross-organizational-unit supplier survey process was initiated
, which is currently focusing on suppliers from the non-OECD countries. There we have begun surveying 143 selected suppliers about the basic principles of their sustainability strategy. These suppliers represent about 80 percent of our purchasing volume in the non-OECD countries, with the Bayer CropScience subgroup procuring many of these goods.
In addition to this cross-organizational-unit evaluation system, Bayer CropScience, for example, launched a supplier qualification project in China in 2005 that has since been introduced throughout that subgroup’s daily operations. Through this, Bayer CropScience checks which of its suppliers have acceptable HSEQ standards, and suppliers obtain feedback on their performance, suggestions for improvement and offers of training. Also in China, Bayer MaterialScience has established a team to closely check transport and distribution safety.
