Syngenta, Maersk Renew Partnership for Greener Supply Chains

• The collaboration is based on innovation, using artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise supply chains.

• The partnership also helped the companies overcome challenges like supply chain disruptions and COVID-19.

Syngenta Crop Protection, a Switzerland-based sustainable farming solution provider, has renewed its partnership with Maersk to improve supply chain efficiency and sustainability.

They have extended their tie-up for another five years to create customised supply chain solutions that are both more effective and more sustainable.

Their main focus is to reduce carbon emissions in their operations. To this end, Maersk aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2040, while Syngenta is working on its decarbonisation efforts. The collaboration also includes reporting on carbon emissions at regular intervals and discussions on how to improve sustainability.

Mike Hollands, Global Head of Production & Supply at Syngenta Crop Protection: "We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Maersk, a company that shares our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Syngenta and Maersk have a strong alignment in prioritizing sustainability and driving innovation. Our partnership has proven its value, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together by continuing to develop and implement cutting-edge solutions that optimize our supply chains, leveraging digital logistics and artificial intelligence."

We thrive by the success of our customers and contribute to this by developing solutions that optimise and simplify their supply chains.
