Sustainability
What nature has to offer is our privilege to use, and we believe that we have a responsibility to use it with great respect, in fairness to all and toward a sustainable tomorrow.
Recognizing sustainability as a critical value driver for the food and agriculture sector, and an integral part of LDC’s business strategy, we focus our resources on innovating and developing solutions that provide a competitive advantage to both suppliers and customers in our value chains.
Our Approach

Our approach to sustainability focuses on three priorities that broadly encompass our material sustainability topics: People, Climate and Land.
Caring for People

We are committed to protecting and investing in our employees, and upholding the human and labor rights of the people who work across our value chains.
Climate

We assess physical and transition climate risks in our operations and value chains, and identify and implement adaptation measures to enhance their resilience to climate change, including the development of lower carbon solutions.
Land Management

We work to protect natural ecosystems by eliminating deforestation and conversion of land for agricultural purposes from our supply chains, incentivizing farmers to use degraded land and supporting the transition to regenerative agriculture practices.
Responsible Supply Chains
Responsible Supply Chains
We work with a wide range of stakeholders and partners to shape increasingly traceable, agile and efficient supply chains, promoting sustainable practices across our value chains and leveraging our position as a leading global agribusiness to promote the adoption of our sustainability policies and standards among suppliers.
