Complementary Information: Transparency is a top priority for Bayer. We are committed to strengthen trust by making information accessible from a whole range of areas including our political engagement. We have established our own code of conduct for responsible lobbying (publicly available on our website) many years ago and declare our lobbying costs in our annual report. We furthermore publish an annual global Political Advocacy Transparency Report. Bayer in addition to the costs of its EU Public Affairs Office included the expenses of its business divisions providing e.g. background research, position papers, political work within European associations and visits to Brussels related to activities falling under the scope of the register. Following the rules of the Transparency Register, Bayer included all relevant costs for intermediary contracts falling under the scope and definition of the register. Relevant shares of communication activities as described under heading 9 are included in the total annual costs declared. Bayer is a member of various trade associations, independently reporting in the transparency register. Membership fees to these trade associations are used for a wide array of activities, including the independent representation of industry interests. The 2023 estimates are in some limited cases not yet available and will be provided in due time. It should be noted that these fees are being also reported in the budgets of the trade associations, thus effectively resulting in a double reporting.
