Our ESG agenda is inseparable from our core business: genetics that yield under stress, delivered to farmers with the support they need to succeed, governed transparently across two listings.
Seed Co in the Environment and Community Sustainably
Seed Co is committed to sustainable ethical business practices, the protection of the environment, and economic development while improving the livelihoods of all its stakeholders, including but not limited to employees, farmers, consumers, and communities. To this end, the DNA of our seed-to-feed business is to innovate and make available climate-smart high-yielding seed solutions, agronomic support, and training for the efficient utilisation of arable land and other farming inputs to sustainably make both small- and large-scale farming profitable enterprises that feed both people and livestock with catalytic effects on critical economic value chains.
We are committed to sound environmental stewardship. We aim to responsibly use the natural resources our business depends on, care for the environment in our operational and surrounding areas and limit the impact of our operations on our host communities. We do this by promoting farming practices that work with nature rather than against nature to mitigate climate change through, among other things, use of cover crops, crop rotation, composting, and mixed farming to improve soil biodiversity.
We acknowledge that agriculture has the greatest potential for cooling the planet, drawing down carbon from the atmosphere and improving water cycle.
Through impacting good agronomic practices, Seed Co contributes positively to the following:
Feeding the world.
Revitalising local economies: small-scale farming represents an opportunity to boost local economies.
Mitigating climate change by increasing soil carbon stocks.
Improving yields and farming impact through drought, pest, and disease tolerant seed varieties.
