Not just the US, everywhere. But at least Greenpeace and the ETC

Bayer to be Honored by Rachel Carson Homestead Association

2007-04-19 17:19:21 -

PITTSBURGH, April 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bayer Corporation 
will be honored tomorrow, Friday, April 20, by the Rachel Carson 
Homestead Association at a reception that kicks off a yearlong series 
of special events commemorating the centennial of the birth of author 
and ecologist Rachel Carson.

One of the Homestead Association's key events, the Rachel Carson 
Legacy Challenge reception hosted by Teresa Heinz Kerry at the 
Senator John Heinz History Center, will recognize Bayer and 15 other 
companies and organizations. Specifically, Bayer is being honored for 
its continued support and implementation of its various local, 
national and global environmental initiatives, some begun more than a 
decade ago, that are designed to foster a healthier planet.

Throughout the centennial year, Bayer is also helping to sponsor a 
number of special environmental education programs organized by the 
Homestead Association.

"Bayer employees are proud that we as a company take action that 
supports the public interest and demonstrates corporate citizenship 
that benefits humankind," said Dr. Attila Molnar, President and CEO, 
Bayer Corporation. "In meeting our responsibilities to society, Bayer 
relies on its core values of improving quality of life while 
harmonizing commercial efficiency, ecology and social commitment."

The objective of the event is to highlight how commitment to 
environmentally sustainable practices can make a tangible difference 
in the health, quality of life, environment and economic viability of 
local, regional and global communities.

"We applaud Bayer Corporation for continuing to take 'green steps to 
a sustainable future,' by making permanent, measurable changes in 
behavior and policies that promote Rachel Carson's environmental 
ethic," said Patricia M. DeMarco, executive director, Rachel Carson 
Homestead Association. "As a forward-thinking company, Bayer clearly 
understands that by committing to this challenge, it will help build 
conditions for a more sustainable, healthy world."

Bayer's Sustainability Progress

Bayer works to develop technologies that increase energy efficiency 
and protect drinking water; helps to eradicate pandemic diseases in 
the developing world; strengthens science education in the United 
States; introduces sustainable business practices to today's 
students; and reduces its own footprint globally. Bayer was one of 
the first chemical companies to join the Responsible Care(R) 
initiative and publish an environmental report in 1993. Several years 
later, it would become one of 45 founding members of the United 
Nation's Global Compact and join the Global Reporting Initiative.

More than a decade ago, Bayer set an ambitious goal to reduce 
greenhouse gas emissions from more than 400 facilities worldwide in 
absolute numbers by 50 percent from 1990 to 2012, while 
simultaneously increasing manufacturing output. Since 1990, Bayer has 
bettered the greenhouse gas emission targets specified in the Kyoto 
Protocol and cut direct greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by more 
than 70 percent.

Through technical improvements and structural changes, Bayer also has 
cut its worldwide energy use by 26 percent between 2000 and 2005. The 
Carbon Disclosure Project, a coalition of more than 200 worldwide 
institutional investors, lists Bayer as "Best in Class" in worldwide 
climate protection.

Bayer was one of the first members of the Chicago Climate Exchange -- 
the world's first and America's only voluntary, legally binding 
greenhouse gas reduction and trading system for emission sources in 
North America and Brazil.

Bayer's climate strategy includes developing products that conserve 
natural resources. These include refrigerator insulation, lightweight 
automotive materials and thermal insulation for buildings, all of 
which increase energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption and reduce 
emissions. Fueling the "green building" revolution are Bayer's 
innovative coatings, adhesives and polycarbonate materials. Currently 
under development are nanomaterials. This technology will make films 
and coatings with enhanced
