Presentations
Our corporate design guidelines also apply to on-screen presentations. The corporate PowerPoint templates detailed here are binding for all corporate or customer presentations across the Bayer Group. In view of the innumerable internal and external PowerPoint presentations created by Bayer staff worldwide, a consistent brand appearance is just as indispensable in this medium. On the one hand, these templates ensure brand image consistency and strengthen the corporate icon; on the other hand, they allow a degree of creative and conceptual freedom to ensure proper localization and customer relevance.
General rules
When new presentations or charts are created, these PowerPoint templates are binding for all parts of the Group. This particularly applies to frequently used corporate or customer presentations. As all the data are regularly updated, please check to see if you have the latest version before creating a presentation. Please use the 16:9 format for new presentations. You can easily include 4:3 charts in the 16:9 templates – please check out the “how to guide”.
Please note that Bayer employees can also access the up-to-date PPT templates by opening Microsoft Office > PowerPoint and then by clicking on “file” > new > my Templates > Bayer Global. There you can find only 16:9 template files.
The images on the front cover of each PowerPoint presentation can be adjusted individually, i.e. you can insert specific images that represent, for example, the key activities of your division. A number of images have been specially selected for use in PowerPoint presentations. We would advise you, wherever possible, to use the images provided with the templates in the PowerPoint chapter.
It is also possible to use different photos from the Media Pool photo library. However, the character of the images on front covers must comply with the CD guidelines as presented in the Key Elements – Photography section.
All the PowerPoint templates available here have been primarily developed for use on Windows PCs. They should, however, work on Mac computers as well.
If you want to use an Apple iPad for a presentation, please download the free PowerPoint app via the App Store. This app enables you to present, but not to edit. If you do not want to use the app, we recommend that you convert your presentations to a PDF format, which functions smoothly on such devices.
The PowerPoint user guide gives you easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions on how to convert your existing PPTs into the new PPT template format. It also tells you how to change photos, update the header or footer and integrate content.
User friendliness: In presentation mode the user has the option to jump directly to the desired section of the presentation via the agenda items. To return to the agenda, click on the Bayer Cross upper left.
These ppt decks provide you with slides on topics across the Bayer company including Crop Science, Consumer Health and Pharmaceuticals businesses. It serves as a pool of slides of which you can choose the ones for your own presentations as needed. The slides are allowed to be used for internal and external purposes, if not indicated otherwise.
When it comes to sustainability, every action matter. By reducing the number of pages, we print and ink we use, we can achieve just as much while consuming fewer resources.
You can help in simple ways: by selecting only the pages it’s essential to print, by switching from color to black-and-white print, and by switching printers off when they are not needed. Perhaps you can even find an alternative that doesn’t require printing at all!
By printing smartly, we can use less and save more.
