On this occasion, LDC was among the co-signatories of a <a href=\"https:\/\/ukcop26.org\/agricultural-commodity-companies-corporate-statement-of-purpose\/\">corporate statement of purpose<\/a> for accelerated and collaborative supply chain action consistent with a 1.5\u00b0C pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with this and the Group\u2019s existing environmental commitments and goal to help shape a net-zero economy, LDC established a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/press-releases\/louis-dreyfus-company-creates-new-carbon-solutions-platform-to-drive-decarbonization-efforts\/\">new Carbon Solutions Platform<\/a> to spearhead its decarbonization efforts through actions in its operations and value chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCharged with leading and accelerating LDC\u2019s decarbonization roadmap, the Platform is building an extensive emissions reduction project portfolio, with a focus on collaborative projects in line with our approach to tackle sustainability challenges through partnerships,\u201d said Michael Gelchie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of LDC\u2019s operations advanced in parallel, keeping the company on track to achieve its reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions, electricity and energy consumption, water usage and solid waste sent to landfill, between 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 was also a record year for workplace safety, as the Group once again recorded its best-ever safety metrics. \u201cI am especially grateful for this positive performance, in a context that continued to pose many challenges,\u201d said Michael Gelchie. \u201cAt LDC, sustainability always starts with people \u2013 whether they are employees, contractors or other partners and stakeholders, we strive to ensure every person working for and with us goes home safe and well each day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, and addressing issues brought to light by the pandemic, LDC also joined forces with like-minded shipping industry stakeholders in 2021 by contributing to the development and publication of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainableshipping.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Seafarers-rights-Code-of-Conduct.pdf\">Code of Conduct to protect the rights and welfare of seafarers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC also reported progress in specific product lines &#8211; from piloting a new coffee responsible sourcing program and reaching 100% verification for LDC-managed citrus farms in Brazil, to continued progress on palm and soy supply chain traceability and transparency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022 and beyond, LDC will continue to fulfill its key role to source, add value to, transport and distribute food and agricultural products for an ever-growing global population, while pursuing its efforts and actions to help shape fair and sustainable supply chains &#8211; important among these, the Group\u2019s commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/press-releases\/ldc-commits-to-zero-deforestation-native-vegetation-conversion-in-its-supply-chains-by-end-2025\/\">eliminate deforestation and native vegetation conversion for agricultural purposes from its supply chains, by the end of 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC\u2019s 2021 Sustainability Report is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/sustainability-report-2021\/\">ldc.com\/sustainability-report-2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Louis Dreyfus Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Louis Dreyfus Company is a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods, founded in 1851.
