Bayer CropScience Inc.
For 150+ years, Canadian women have played a significant role in agriculture with their hard work, innovative thinking, and passion for the industry. We recognize and promote women across every facet of Canadian agriculture—so we can all continue to farm for change.
In Canada, we have several resource groups focused on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion areas, including GROW Canada. GROW’s vision is that women have an equitable presence, leadership impact, and recognition at all levels and men advocate for this equity. We are driven to foster an inclusive culture that champions the growth and achievement of women. For more information, visit: https://www.cropscience.bayer.ca/.
