Sustainable Supply Chain Partnerships

The extended partnership between Syngenta Crop Protection and Maersk focuses on enhancing sustainable supply chain solutions through fourth-party logistics (4PL). This collaboration aims to optimize logistics by managing resources, technology, infrastructure, and other logistics providers to design, build, and deliver customized supply chain solutions. The partnership underscores both companies' commitment to responsible logistics and continuous supply chain optimization. A key aspect of this collaboration is the emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain.

Over the past eight years, Syngenta and Maersk have successfully navigated major disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Red Sea crisis, by increasing resilience and identifying opportunities to reduce GHG emissions from Syngenta's supply chain. The companies have set ambitious sustainability targets, with Maersk aiming to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire business by 2040, and Syngenta accelerating efforts to decarbonize its operations and set clear targets for sustainable operations. Regular reporting on emissions and ongoing dialogue on sustainability outcomes are integral to their shared strategy.

By extending their partnership, Syngenta and Maersk reinforce their shared commitment to sustainability and innovation. The collaboration leverages digital logistics and artificial intelligence to optimize supply chains, contributing to a more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible supply chain. This partnership exemplifies their leadership in driving sustainable logistics solutions and supports their broader goals of promoting a circular economy and reducing their environmental impact.
