Addressing new challenges sustainably
In a year marked by the unprecedented challenges of Covid-19, we took steps to keep our people safe and essential supply chains moving, while continuing to address pressing sustainability issues facing our business, from supporting vulnerable smallholder farmers to mitigating environmental impacts, and from protecting workers’ rights to conserving biodiversity.
“The partnerships, initiatives and progress we report on for 2020 are paving the way toward a more sustainable future for food and agricultural production.”Michael Gelchie
