Bayer: Structural changes remain option, but ‘not now’

On the question of the company’s structure and a possible break-up of the Group, “our answer is ‘not now’ – and this shouldn’t be misunderstood as ‘never’,” said CEO Bill Anderson. “Of course, we will keep an open mind,” he added. Given the company’s very limited room to maneuver, “our priority is on tackling our challenges, boosting performance and creating strategic flexibility. We are convinced that this approach is what’s best for Bayer.”
