ADAMA Lowers Emissions by 14%

ADAMA Ltd., a global crop protection company, lowered its carbon footprint by 14% through investments in its manufacturing process.

The company invested $342 million toward greener manufacturing operations over the past three years, including in wastewater reclamation and reuse, air quality and odor control, reduction of energy loss and an increase in renewable energy usage.

The investment led to a 14% reduction in the company's absolute carbon footprint, 30% reduction in hazardous waste generation and 10% of energy used from renewable sources.

ADAMA published details in its 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report details the company's commitment to transparency and incorporates several key standards from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

ADAMA maintains its commitment to the target of lowering Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by an average of 5% every year until 2030. The company improved its rankings in several ratings agencies and received a Bronze medal from Ecovadis.

"Throughout 2023, we remained focused and resolute on implementing our sustainability strategy,” said Steve Hawkins, President and CEO of ADAMA, in a statement. “We prioritized the safety and well-being of our employees, customers, and communities, while delivering solutions that increase farmer's crop productivity, limit their environmental impact, and reduce our own carbon footprint. Our teams accomplished this by effectively embedding sustainability into the core areas of our business and viewing it as an integrated part of our product development, innovation process, and stewardship efforts."
