Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Increase in total waste produced (43% increase compared to last fiscal year, mainly due to the inclusion of two industrial plants and an increase in effluents waste production)
• Increase in water consumption intensity ratio (2% increase compared to the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the increase of the reporting scope)
• Increase in total number of work-related accidents (36% increase compared to the last reporting exercise, due to added scrutiny to the reporting of incidents)

Mitigation Strategies

• Implementing and certifying Environmental Management Systems (EMS) according to ISO 14001 in four of eight industrial plants
• Implementing water recycling solutions, closed cooling cycles, and reuse of treated wastewater in industrial sites
• Implementing a three-year safety project in partnership with DuPont Sustainable Solutions to accelerate the implementation of a safety culture across all sites
• Mechanizing the cleaning process of spray dryers to prevent employee exposure and reduce waste

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Climate change impacting weather and climate extremes, resulting in poorer harvests and higher food production costs.
• Global food system being the primary driver of biodiversity loss.

Mitigation Strategies

• Developing a Net Zero by 2050 Roadmap to minimize water and waste consumption and decrease the carbon footprint.
• Investing in product innovation to offer agri-inputs that enhance nutrient use-efficiency and are less carbon intensive.
• Reviewing initiatives and practices for farmers to enhance soil quality as a carbon sink.
• Identifying a certified carbon credit model to reward farmers transitioning to climate-smart practices.
• Investing in innovative agricultural solutions of biological origin (organic inputs, biostimulants, biofertilizers) to improve nutrient efficiency, enhance biodiversity, improve carbon sequestration, and water efficiency.
• Reducing the risk per hectare treated of land with crop protection products.
