Bayer Climate Check documents climatic effect and reveals potential savings
The climate-relevant assessment is conducted on the basis of the energy efficiency analysis using a new key performance indicator, the so-called “climate footprint”, which results in prioritized packages of measures. The climate footprint can be used as an ecological decision-making tool for capital investment and technology projects to complement the established profitability analyses.

A CO2 savings potential of roughly 10 percent has so far been identified with the aid of the Bayer Climate Check. The Group aims to maximize this potential by 2013 through further measures to increase energy efficiency. Other companies are already using this innovative technology.
Managing Energy Efficiency
STRUCTese® (Structured Efficiency System for Energy) is a management system developed by Bayer MaterialScience together with Bayer Technology Services and Bayer Business Services with the aim of sustainably optimizing energy efficiency. It will build on the results of the Bayer Climate Check and help the company to ensure that the identified potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is exploited to the full. By the end of 2012, it is expected that 60 plants around the world will be employing this new management tool, with which the company wants to set standards for industry in general.
