Write your story with double winner Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Nearness, hunger for success, innovation, courage and quality - that's what the "Werkself" and the entire club stand for. Bayer 04's commitment to sustainability is also based on this club strategy. The club is aware of its responsibility - as an important partner of the region (especially the city of Leverkusen), as a modern company and as a responsible part of the football community. The aim is to integrate sustainability in all its facets as an important aspect of the corporate decision-making process, to prioritise key issues and to use the club's charisma and role model function to make sustainability attractive and worthwhile.

Bayer 04 wants to face up to the ecological challenges of making professional football more environmentally friendly. In particular, the constructive analysis of its own ecological performance and the courage to come up with innovative ideas are intended to ensure that resources are used in a sustainable and conscious manner in order to reduce energy consumption, waste and the club's carbon footprint.

Bayer 04 wants to further promote and expand the positive social contribution of football. In particular, the regional appeal of the works club offers the opportunity to assume social responsibility - for example, through measures to promote tolerance, support local initiatives, implement social projects or promote education and health.

Bayer 04 wants to be a role model in economic terms and an attractive employer. This includes steady, profitable growth as a club and a brand, taking into account the social and ecological responsibility of it. The 'Werkself' attaches great importance to the protection of children and young people and to fair working conditions within the company and at partner companies and suppliers.

With numerous projects such as the BAYER 04 HILFT-TAG, in which a public facility is enhanced in a variety of ways with the help of the entire club, the EINFACH FUSSBALL, in which mentally handicapped young people are given the opportunity to pursue their favourite hobby on a regular basis, or the BAYER 04 LERNKURVE, programme, which combines the fields of education and sport, the club has been involved in the Leverkusen region and beyond for years.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen has been active in esports since November 2017, with the aim of playing the double pass between the football pitch and the virtual pitch. Three talented eSports players successfully represent the club in national and international competitions such as the Virtual Bundesliga, the DFBe Cup and internationally in the EA Global Series.
