Environmental Leadership
Environmental responsibility is a core value for Bayer. The Berkeley site was the company's first North American facility to receive ISO 14001 certification — one of the most rigorous international environmental standards in the world, which requires both a high level of environmental sensitivity today and an ongoing process of improvement — and has been certified every year since 2001. Bayer has won many awards for its environmental protection, including “Best Workplace for Commuters” (U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, every year since 2001), winner of the “Waste Reduction Awards Program (state of California, every year since 1996), and recognition by the City of Berkeley as an "eco-business."
