Agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors account for almost a quarter of manmade global warming pollution, and its farmers, suppliers, processors, and broader communities often suffer its direct and indirect effects on livelihoods and health.
There are many interrelated activities which we undertake to address climate change. We focus on key areas which will make a material impact. To measure our progress we have a series of goals.
Read about some of our climate action-related activities and progress against our goals over the last year in our most recent annual report.
We continue to review our own operations and supply chain, to make positive changes. However, we cannot make the level of change required alone. We are active in a number of sector-wide initiatives and are collaborating with customers to help them mitigate their environmental impacts.
