ADAMA 2021 ESG REPORT

Our Commitment

ADAMA is a leading global crop protection company, providing solutions to combat weeds, insects and disease, so farmers can do what they do best: feed the world.

The ability of farmers to meet the needs of a growing global population while using fewer natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions depends on collaboration across the agricultural community.

Sustainable agriculture is too important and too complex for one business to lead the agenda alone. Therefore, we place great emphasis on listening to and learning from our stakeholders, to help us to incorporate sustainability into every aspect of our operation.

“Climate change and the imminent global food crisis demand that agriculture and our industry must transform if we are to have sustainable food security for a growing population.

ADAMA chooses to put ESG values in the center of its activity and to integrate sustainability into every aspect of the business – products, manufacturing, operations, and people. Our investment in novel formulation technologies to deliver superior products with enhanced biological performance is resulting in better solutions for farmers and a favorable sustainable footprint, ultimately benefiting all our stakeholders. We'll continue to listen to farmers and deliver what they need to succeed, making sustainable agriculture part of the solution."

Listening to Our People

Only by actively listening and seeking out additional opportunities to hear from our People, can we improve as a company. In addition to daily dialogue, we implement periodic engagement surveys and a “360° assessment” of managers. The engagement survey reflected that our People are satisfied with the physical work environment, culture and values, customer focus, and work/life balance. Although we have made great improvements since 2016, our People identified areas for further improvement in learning and development, career opportunities, and employer brand, as well as in rewards and recognition. Based on this feedback, ADAMA launched our new learning platform, SPARK.

Listening to Our Communities

We apply our listening approach to the communities we operate in, and build personal, lasting relationships with our partners. With each collaboration that we initiate or engage in, we take time in advance to understand the needs of those involved, whether they are local authorities, welfare departments, NGOs, or other local organizations. We continue an ongoing dialogue with our partners throughout the year.

Our Industry Memberships

We recognize the importance of participating in both international and local committees and organizations to achieve improvement in industry-related issues. Taking part in such committees allows us to create a dialogue and share knowledge with other industry members and with governmental and non-governmental organizations, to benefit all stakeholders.
We hold memberships in Chambers of Commerce in several of the countries in which we operate and are active in committees on various relevant topics around the world. We actively participate in the initiatives of various organizations, including those listed below, and we frequently share information with other organization members as we strive for a safe and sustainable future.
