environmental organization based in thePhilippines .Its goal is to protect and save theSan Cristobal River from degradation.As chairwoman of the project supported by Bayer, Tess Cayton who manages the company's crop protection plant in Canlubang organizes a number of projects together with other Bayer employees. After all, purified wastewater from Bayer's Canlubang production facility enters a tributary of the San Cristobal. In cooperation with scientists and representatives from other industrial companies in the region and the city government, Bayer hopes to implement a variety of strategies to protect the waterways.
Emissions are to be further reduced through intensive monitoring and evaluation of wastewater data. Bayer employees are also supporting a related information campaign directed above all at schoolchildren and local government officials. Further measures include initiatives to clean up the river and restore its banks by planting trees.
