Dr. Jan Henning Sohlmann

Jan holds a PhD in economics from Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He has been in the Bayer organization for roughly 10 years with a focus on financial and sustainability reporting as well as ESG strategy. Following his duties and responsibilities in group accounting, he has been a member of the corporate sustainability team since July 2020. Jan’s work focuses on engagement with institutional investors on ESG matters to meet their information needs and to transfer their perspectives and expectations into the Bayer organization. He is convinced that ESG has to be managed holistically to improve operational effectiveness, to drive impact, and to raise trust. At the same time, he assesses transparency, a strong governance setup, and stakeholder engagement as prerequisites for sustainable business transformation.
