This will act as a coordination point in future for the club's activities in the areas of social and ecological responsibility as well as sustainable corporate management. Bayer 04 were able to recruit Matthias Adler from their own ranks as the expert in the job. In his new role, he will report to the communications director Holger Tromp.

Matthias Adler studied social sciences (in Wuppertal, Barcelona and Düsseldorf) and he has also completed the DFL course on 'Sustainability managers in football management'. The 31-year-old has worked for Bayer 04 since 2015, most recently in the areas of organisational development and corporate culture as well as community affairs.
