Embedding Sustainability in our Business
Our Sustainability Strategy is Driven by Results
Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of what we do at ADAMA. With regenerative and sustainable farming becoming a priority for growers and consumers everywhere, we focus on reducing the environmental footprint of our products while delivering high yields.
At the same time, we endeavor to run our operations in a way that consistently lowers our carbon footprint, the waste we create, and the water we use. We are committed to worker safety, workplace diversity, equity and inclusion and the well-being of the communities in which we work.
Innovation in Agriculture
The crop protection market is rapidly evolving, driven by global trends that demand both innovation and adaptability. Growers today face numerous challenges, including tighter profit margins, increasing agronomic complexities and a more stringent regulatory environment. Compounding these pressures is the slowdown in new molecule development, which increases the need for solutions that maximize the effectiveness of existing Active Ingredients.
Growers require innovative, high-quality products that address these challenges while delivering strong returns on investment. They need tools that boost productivity, enhance sustainability and simplify farm operations – all tailored to their unique needs. ADAMA’s Value Innovation strategy is specifically designed to meet these demands.

Acknowledging the critical impact of climate challenges on the end users – farmers – ADAMA places a strong focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
ADAMA also prioritizes the wellbeing of neighboring communities by safeguarding air quality and water resources. Efforts to reduce the use of natural resources and minimize waste include implementing energy-efficient manufacturing processes, transitioning to renewable energy sources, adopting advanced water-saving technologies and ensuring the safe treatment and disposal of chemical byproducts.

Together, these elements create a robust framework that drives sustainable growth and long-term success.

It articulates the values and behaviors a company expects leaders and employees to exhibit. It serves as a valuable reference to employees and partners to support the day-to-day decision-making.
