The global pharmaceutical and biotechnology company reported U.S.-booked air travel spend of $35.2 million in 2022, up substantially from $4.3 million in 2021. In 2023, air sales are expected to increase to $40 million, according to the company. Domestic volume accounts for 30% of all travel.

Bayer is currently re-educating its travelers to its travel standards and processes. The entire program is being updated to make it post-pandemic-ready as part of an ongoing effort to incorporate sustainability into its travel strategy and booking processes. In one example, the company is making rail mandatory in Germany for travel between its global and pharmaceutical headquarters. Similar pilot programs are taking place between major city locations in China, Spain and Italy.

Bayer has a global travel policy that can be adjusted on a country level. A new CEO came on board June 1, 2023.
