Good Growth Plan: Building on the progress we made and the lessons we learned from the first Good Growth Plan, we launched a new Good Growth Plan in June 2020. This new plan puts the urgent fight against climate change and biodiversity loss at the heart of farming’s productive future and the global economic recovery. Under the new Good Growth Plan, Syngenta makes four ambitious commitments and targets for 2025: - To accelerate our innovation to provide solutions for farmers to make agriculture more resilient and sustainable. - To strive for carbon neutral agriculture, while continuing our work to enhance biodiversity and soil health. - To reinforce our existing commitment to help people stay safe and healthy in our operations and on the field. - To achieve these commitments in partnership with others and through open dialogue about the value of agriculture innovation for farmers, nature and society. Full details of the Good Growth Plan and our other activities can be found in our 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report (ESG Report) - https://www.syngenta.com/sites/syngenta/files/sustainability/reporting-sustainability/Syngenta-AG-ESG-Report-2022.pdf Land and Soil Management Award: This award has been launched in 2008 by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO), under the auspices of the European Commission (DG Environment and the Joint Research Centre) and in association with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) of Vienna, Syngenta, as well as the Centre for Soil and Environmental Sciences of the Ljubljana University.
