We aim to reduce our Scope 1 (own operations) and Scope 2 (energy purchases) by 38% by 2030 versus a 2022 baseline.

Syngenta Group is exploring options for renewable electricity sourcing, energy conservation and decarbonization, and reducing energy consumption, water and waste intensity across our production sites.

Our supply chain accounts for much of Syngenta Group’s carbon footprint, so we are working with suppliers to make our manufacturing processes more efficient and identify opportunities for decarbonization.

Maintaining our high health and safety standards is a top priority across the our global manufacturing sites and it is essential that every employee understands their individual responsibilities and maintains awareness around safety.

In addition, Syngenta Group aims to build a more inclusive business culture by ensuring equity of treatment, targeting equal pay for equal work. 

We aim to accelerate implementation of consistent equal pay practices to keep narrowing the pay gap on a yearly basis, until pay parity is achieved.
