Our Vision<\/h2>\n \n
\n

Driven by our purpose to create fair and sustainable value, we work to realize our vision for a safe and sustainable future, contributing to the global effort to provide sustenance for a growing population.<\/p>\n

To do so, we are transforming to embrace more of the agricultural value chain, working with both suppliers and customers to ensure the sustainable and traceable product journey, from farm to fork, that customers, consumers and our planet expect from us.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Sustainability<\/h2>\n \n

We recognize that our activities at all stages of the value chain have an impact on the environment, and touch the people who work for us or live near our facilities. LDC takes its responsibility for managing that impact very seriously, and continually seeks to minimize its environmental footprint.<\/p>\n

Sustainability is central to our business model, and therefore a daily consideration for our regional and commercial teams, who address sustainability issues in everything we do, and wherever we operate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n Find out more<\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

01<\/span>Entrepreneurship<\/h2>
\n The ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT encourages us to respond with agility and flexibility to a world that continues to transform around us. It involves maintaining curiosity, showing initiative, challenging the status quo, and daring to innovate and change, but also setting clear goals and taking concrete actions towards our objectives.\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>

02<\/span>Trust<\/h2>
\n TRUST works both ways: it encourages us to give our best every day, but it also makes us accountable. Since our word is a guarantee, it is crucial that we maintain the highest standards of conduct and a zero-tolerance policy towards lack of integrity.\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Heritage<\/h2>\n \n
\n Founded in 1851, our company has a rich entrepreneurial heritage that inspires our present work and future plans.
\r\n
\r\nFor almost 170 years, we have sourced agricultural products where they are grown, and transported and transformed them for customers and consumers around the world, working with a wide range of trusted partners \u2013 from smallholder farmers to global organizations.
\r\n
\r\nWe have been in Uruguay since 2002, and now have a strong presence throughout the country, which includes strategic alliances with third-party plants in all main agricultural areas.\n <\/div>\n \n
