at the World Summit on the Information Society
 ‘ICTs give us the power of access to information and thereby to harness
democracy, avoid misunderstanding and foster world peace. We have, in our
grasp, the opportunity to build a more just and equitable information
society, in which the developing world even with disadvantages such as lack
of industrialization or remoteness, for the first time has a real chance to
catch up with the developed world.’ Mr. Yoshio Utsumi, Secretary-General of
the International Telecommunication Union.

The Community Development Toolkit
 ICMM has recently published a new toolkit in partnership with the World
Bank with funding support from the Energy Sector Management Assistance

closer relations between mining companies, communities and governments in
order to support community development activities that last beyond the life
of a mining operation.

Major international award at the Climate Summit in Montreal
At the international Climate Summit in Montreal, Bayer received the “Low
Carbon Leaders Award” for its achievements over the last ten years in the
field of climate protection. An international jury of experts made up of
representatives from politics, non-governmental organizations and industry,
appointed by the renowned climate protection organization The Climate
Group, voted Bayer “best in class”. It was the only German company to
receive this status, which is awarded to the top five companies. In the
global climate protection ranking Bayer was rated third out of a total of
the biggest 500 companies.
