A growing and increasingly aging world population requires improved medical care and an adequate supply of food. The products Bayer makes help solve these and other major global issues of our time.

Here in Japan, Bayer is widely known as the company that invented Aspirin, a product synonymous with relief from pain and fevers. Bayer's ties to this country go far back, with the first Bayer product being introduced to Japan in 1886, more than 130 years ago. And in 2011 we successfully marked the centennial establishment of Bayer's first wholly owned subsidiary in Japan, Friedrich Bayer & Co., in 1911.

While conducting in Japan a fully-fledged business through various production sites and R&D centers, Bayer in Japan has proudly played its role as a corporate citizen for local communities for more than a century.

Bayer is committed to operating sustainably and to addressing our social and ethical responsibilities as a corporate citizen, while at the same time respecting the interests of all our stakeholders. Employees with a passion for innovation will enjoy excellent development opportunities at Bayer.
