Joining like-minded companies in the private sector, Bayer has signed the Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge with a $160 million commitment dedicated to help end global hunger.
The Pledge, in the context of the UN Food Systems Summit of 2021 and as a part of the Summit’s Zero Hunger Coalition, recognizes the need for governments and the private sector to work together to end food scarcity. Companies taking the pledge commit to investing money, resources and expertise in areas of concern within regions where they do business. Bayer’s commitment will go toward communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
