Taking definitive action towards sustainable agriculture

Now more than ever, we must step up our efforts to contribute to global food security, helping to bring affordable nutrition to a growing population as demand rises, particularly in Asia.

As a major agri-business, we have a real opportunity to create a better future for people and the planet by helping to strengthen the food and agriculture system, protect the climate and conserve nature. And this in turn delivers value to our business and stakeholders. That’s why we are taking definitive action to improve our sustainability performance and build resilience across our supply chains, transforming our ambitions into reality.
