Sustainability is at the core of our business
Now more than ever, food production systems must become more sustainable and resilient, in order to adapt to changing climate conditions, such as extreme weather events, droughts, and floods.
We are bringing together our knowledge and technical expertise to deliver the most innovative agricultural products for a more sustainable agriculture, aiming to increase global food production, in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner.
- Economic: safeguarding a profitable agricultural production for farmers
- Social: ensuring safe, nutritious, and affordable food for all
- Environmental: producing better food with less natural resources, while protecting and preserving nature for present and future generations.
We commit to catalyzing positive impact by contributing to a more sustainable agriculture and a better use of the planet’s resources.
Our Ambition
We want to help build a future in which we operate within the planetary boundaries, while meeting one essential human need: food
To fulfil our ambition, we also ensure the operations of our business work within the limits of the planet, with the least impact on nature and the climate.
We strive to exemplify responsible business practices through our conduct and operations, exceeding legal requirements and setting a high standard for ESG practices.

The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) provides guidelines for companies to disclose climate-related financial risks, enhancing transparency for investors and the public. We endorse TCFD by using its framework, seeking to enhance in the coming years our alignment to TCFD’s recommendations on the main pillars: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets.
We are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and our near-term science based emission reduction targets have been validated as of February of 2024. The SBTi is a collaborative initiative led by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the UNGC, World Resources Institute (WRI), and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF). It assists companies in aligning their emission reduction targets with the latest climate science to limit global warming and support the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Having our near-term targets approved by SBTi indicates that our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction targets are based on climate science consistent with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
