Donation for long-term reconstruction project announced

摘要

At the end of the news conference, Dekkers announced that the Bayer Cares Foundation will provide EUR 700,000 for a long-term reconstruction project. Bayer employees worldwide donated EUR 300,000 for the victims of the Japanese earthquake shortly after the disaster, and the company added a further EUR 250,000. Bayer also decided to scale down its planned 100th-anniversary celebrations in view of the events in March and donate the saving of EUR 150,000 to the relief effort as well. The total amount of EUR 700,000 is now to be made available for a long-term reconstruction project in the earthquake zone.
