Bayer supplying white phosphorous to the military

Should this be in the article? The NYT wrote "...Bayer also supplies some white phosphorous, via intermediaries, to the United States military, which uses it to fill white phosphorus munitions at the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas.

Bayer's statement for reference: A subsidiary of Bayer has been operating a phosphate mine in the USA for many years. Phosphorus is fundamentally a key raw material for numerous industrial applications, including battery production for electric vehicles and the manufacture of specialty chemicals. The majority of the phosphorus produced by Bayer is used for the production of crop protection products. A portion of the phosphorus is sold to a limited number of third parties and used for various industrial purposes, such as fire extinguishing agents or aviation fuels. These third parties are contractually prohibited from reselling elemental phosphorus for military purposes. Currently, Bayer does not supply phosphorus to the U.S. government. Due to an Executive Order by the U.S. president, Bayer is required to do so in the future. Bayer does not supply phosphorus to the Israeli military.

Dynamic Shared Ownership Model

I would like to implement a paragraph about Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) which has changed the organization drastically over the last years. I'd like to place it at the end of the beginning overview, right before "early history".

In January 2024, Bayer introduced an operating model known as Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO) under chief executive Bill Anderson. The reorganization reduced management layers and shifted decision-making responsibilities from managers to teams operating in 90-day planning cycles. According to Bayer, the program reduced organizational layers from 12 to 7, reduced management positions by more than two-thirds, accelerated the speed of product launches, and generated savings.
