| At Syngenta India, we’ve always believed our success depends upon balancing economic, social and environmental objectives. At Syngenta India we know that our responsibility is to offer products and services that efficiently satisfy growing food, fuel & fodder demands driven by social and economic development, in a safe and sustainable manner. |
| |
| We want to meet that challenge and we have the capacity and know-how to do so. That is our objective when we improve the efficiency of our products and processes, minimize their environmental impact and position ourselves at the forefront of our industry's technological developments. |
| |
| Syngenta India maintains high standards in health, safety and environment protection in its operations and has dedicated resources to drive stewardship at the farmers’ level. We apply global practices, policies and standards, at the same time respecting local sensitivities, in order to understand and respond to the specific needs of the communities with which we interact at the different stages of our business. Regard for local particularities helps us come closer to society's concerns and build better mutual understanding. It also enables us to protect and strengthen our reputation, identify business opportunities and encourage social trust in our company. |
| |
| We are also meeting stakeholders’ expectations through specific policies aimed at attracting and retaining talent, gaining the trust of local communities, preserving biodiversity and applying transparency criteria to relations with authorities in the regions where we operate. We adopt principles of good governance and proactively continue to advance in the scope, depth and transparency of the information reported. Our aim is to provide a balanced view of our social and environmental performance. |
| |
| In the long run, any company can achieve sustained prosperity provided it is attentive to the expectations of contemporary society. This year we are moving forward in a number of important areas. We have a Corporate Responsibility Plan in place and have set in motion, a number of actions, in order to meet the emerging challenges. |
