The new priorities place sustainability at the core of the company’s strategy and
demonstrate continued commitment to sustainable innovation.
Syngenta Group announced its new sustainability priorities for the entire Group,
also including ADAMA and Syngenta Group China, that replace the previous sustainability
targets. In 2013, Syngenta was one of the first companies in the industry to launch a
comprehensive sustainability plan. The “Good Growth Plan” successfully served as the
organization’s sustainability compass.
The new priorities place sustainability at the core of the company’s strategy and
demonstrate continued commitment to sustainable innovation. This approach and clear
targets help integrate sustainability on a strategic and operational level whilst creating
long-term value:
- Priority 1: “Higher yields, lower impact” through the acceleration of crop productivity in
the agricultural sector, while reducing the impact on the planet through more
sustainable technologies. - Priority 2: “Regenerate soil and nature” by enabling the adoption of regenerative
agriculture practices to help farmers improve productivity, soil health, biodiversity and
climate. - Priority 3: “Improve rural prosperity” by focusing on the prosperity of low-income and
under-served farmers and their access to inputs, knowledge, finance and markets. - Priority 4: “Sustainable operations” by the means of reducing the environmental impact
of Syngenta Group’s own operations and the supply chain; strengthening a diverse and
inclusive culture and ensuring the health and safety of its employees.
The new priorities leverage the power of innovation, guide investments and collaboration
as well as add a new level of transparency through a Portfolio Sustainability Framework
(PSF). To find out more about Syngenta Group’s new sustainability priorities, the specific
targets and the PSF, please visit the website Sustainability Priorities.
Today Syngenta Group also published the Syngenta Group and Syngenta AG ESG
reports for the year ended 31 December 2023.
