BAYER ANNOUNCES ITS FUTURE ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA
Aug. 16, 2022
Source: Bayer news release
Several months have passed since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. From the outset, we have utterly condemned this brutal aggression against a sovereign country. Our hearts ache as we see the devastation and death affecting innocent civilians, including children. We stand by the people of Ukraine who can fully count on our solidarity and support.
Attacks like these demand a very clear stance. And we have been very clear about ours. Here is what we are doing:
Supporting the people and rebuilding plans in Ukraine
Bayer is fully committed to Ukraine´s future through investing in the country and supporting President Zelensky's rebuilding plan - called United24. We aim to continue making significant investments in the country over the next decade - mainly to rebuild Ukraine´s agricultural system. This will also positively impact global food security, by enabling Ukraine´s farmers to plant and harvest their produce.
As a start, to cover the corn seed demand in Ukraine and beyond, Bayer will invest more than 30 million Euros from 2022 onwards in the Puchuyki seed plant. This investment includes raising the capacity of our seeds dryer, extra field equipment, additional storage facilities - and new employment opportunities in the region.
Bayer also continues to support Ukraine in the areas of health, education and humanitarian relief. We have donated a total of over 10 million Euros so far. This includes establishing a disaster relief fund and product donations, including antibiotics and oncology therapeutics. We will also support the rebuilding of Ukraine´s hospital and public health infrastructure.
