Sustainability
Sustainability is a critical value driver for the food and agriculture sector, and an integral part of LDC’s business strategy.
Addressing the environmental and social impacts of the commodities we purchase stands at the core of how we approach sustainability, with a focus on three priorities that broadly encompass our material sustainability topics: People, Climate and Land.
Our Sustainability Priorities
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
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 chain
Our highly committed teams continually work to increase sustainability across their respective value chains, leveraging our leadership position to promote the adoption of our sustainability policies and standards among suppliers.
