About Matthias Berninger

The well-being of all people and respect for planetary boundaries is very important to me. This is exactly what I work for in my role as Senior Vice President Public Affairs, Science and Sustainability at Bayer.
I am an optimist. I believe that the situation is very serious, but that we can manage to keep climate change within limits and to achieve the UN sustainable development goals. We will not succeed in all of this without strong partnerships and groundbreaking innovations. In my work, I am driven by the great responsibility that arises from the fact that Bayer can make a significant contribution to achieving the SDGs.
Sustainability, nutrition, agriculture, health and science have always been the focus of my work. I benefit from my many years of experience as a member of the German Bundestag and as Head of Public Affairs at Mars.
In my free time, I love cycling my road bike, playing chess, and cooking.
