All for human safety
By the time a new medicine arrives on the pharmacy shelves, it usually has between eight and ten years of intense research behind it. A long time. But that is what it takes to test the efficacy and safety of a substance to the highest level.
 

No more animals
than legally required

For a research company such as Bayer, work involving animals is essential - if you want to understand biological relationships, you have to conduct studies. But one basic principle is always observed: the number of animals used is the smallest required to obtain scientifically meaningful results.

 

How does Bayer meet its responsibilities?
Bayer’s principles on animal welfare and animals studies highlight our commitment to the well-being of laboratory animals. The wide-reaching powers of the Animal Welfare Officer at Bayer also bear witness to our responsible approach towards animals.
