Bayer 04 are already committed to the city in a number of ways. The club supports a range of projects and runs the annual 'Wir(04)helfen' charity day that helps with the refurbishment of nurseries, schoolyards and green spaces. This tried and tested cooperation is now to be extended and established on a wider basis.
The aim of both partners is to significantly improve the visibility of the club within the city and also jointly implement measures and projects important to the community.
"Bayer 04 Leverkusen is not only a significant commercial enterprise but, above all, one of the most important factors in the image of our city," said the mayor Uwe Richrath. "I'm very much looking forward to putting our existing partnership on a contractual basis and further extending the commitment of the club in the city."
"As a club, we benefit to a great extent from the commitment of council employees particularly on matchdays," said Fernando Carro, managing director of Bayer 04. "With this contract, we want to document our understanding of the acquisition of social and communal responsibility. Accordingly, we are very keen that Bayer 04 plays a visible and tangible role in the life of the city of Leverkusen."
