Sustainability criteria embedded in product development
Each new product in our pipeline must meet baseline requirements and deliver at least one notable sustainability advantage based on criteria aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, while maintaining parity compared to other products in the market today.

Green chemistry award-winning crop protection
We have won six Green Chemistry Challenge Awards from the U.S. EPA; more than any other agricultural company. The award is given to companies or institutions that have developed a new process or product that helps protect public health and the environment.
