PT Bayer Indonesia (Bayer Indonesia) was established on 7 November 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Bayer AG, its parent company headquartered in Leverkusen, is a global enterprise with core competencies in the life science fields of health care and nutrition. Its products and services are designed to benefit people by supporting efforts to overcome the major challenges presented by a growing and aging global population. By 2019, the Group comprises of 392 consolidated companies in 87 countries. The Group operates three supply centers in Indonesia that are part of the global Bayer supply chain of manufacturing facilities. Most products from all supply centers are exported to countries around the world, as well as marketed in Indonesia.

Under Bayer’s vision of “Health for all, hunger for none”, Bayer Indonesia takes an active role in a lot of significant moment throughout the Indonesia’s development process. Bayer Indonesia is committed to assist the Indonesian government’s program in community health and agriculture, not only through the innovative high-quality products, but also through their programs in public education and knowledge enhancement for communities, particularly  farmers and healthcare professionals.

As part of its sustainability targets, specifically its 2030 global commitment, Bayer Indonesia has some  corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. One of them is the Mother and Children Healthcare/ Anti-Stunting Program. Stunting – the failure to reach one’s potential for growth – is caused by chronic malnutrition and repeated illness during childhood. It can permanently limit a child’s physical and cognitive capacity and cause lifelong damage. In 2013, 37 percent of Indonesian children under the age of five, or almost nine million children, were stunted, according to the National Health Survey. Bayer Indonesia has been conducting a community development program since 2015, helping to improve the service of local Mother and Children Healthcare Centers (POSYANDU). Starting in 2019, the program focuses on monitoring and evaluating the quality of nutrition for babies and toddlers, in alignment with the national nutrition standard. Bayer Indonesia also improves the capacity and knowledge of POSYANDU cadres by conducting workshops and training on national nutrition standard and on stunting.
