As part of its worldwide climate program, Bayer aims to support the construction industry in the use of sustainable, eco-friendly building techniques. The Bayer MaterialScience EcoCommercial Building program demonstrates that the company’s materials can be used to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. What makes this concept special is that it can be used in different climate zones around the world.

The program is designed to act as an interface between decision-makers and the construction industry and generate additional business in the sustainable and energy-efficient construction segment. It includes an integral planning process combining the materials expertise of Bayer MaterialScience with the construction skills of customers and service partners. The first EcoCommercial building, located in Diegem, Belgium, is serving as Bayer’s administrative headquarters for that country.
