| Exemplary
environmental management at all sites - the many prizes that were
awarded to Bayer in the year 2000 prove that this philosophy is being
acted upon.
In
India, Bayer received an important award from the Indian Chemical
Manufacturers Association (I.C.M.A.) for excellent HSE management.
The key to Bayer's success was its sustained safety at work and
protection of the environment, which frequently exceeded national
standards and therefore set an example for the chemical industry
in India.
In
Korea, Bayer received an award from the Ministry for Environmental
Protection. Deemed particularly noteworthy was the Bayer Academy
for Responsible Care, which offers a wide spectrum of seminars and
workshops on this subject. Bayer is therefore presenting solutions
to assist other Korean companies to improve their own standards
and to fulfill legal requirements.
In
Spain, Bayer received a "Clean Image" prize for its safety
and environment policies. Bayer S.A. in Brazil also was awarded
a similar prize for environmental management in Belford Roxo.
