Two companies have ”a strong alignment” in prioritising sustainability and driving innovation
Syngenta Crop Protection and Maersk have announced the extension of their fourth-party logistics (4PL) partnership for an additional five years.
This renewed collaboration, they said, underscored both companies’ commitment to responsible logistics through continuous supply chain optimisation and innovation.
A cornerstone of the collaboration was the constant focus on more sustainable logistics, the statement continued, with both companies “highly committed” to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the supply chain.
Maersk aims to achieve net zero GHG emissions across its entire business by 2040, while Syngenta’s sustainability priorities are accelerating efforts to decarbonise its operations and set clear targets for sustainable operations.
Under the collaboration, regular reporting on emissions and ongoing dialogue on sustainability outcomes are ”key determinants of business performance”.
The groups noted that, over the past eight years, Syngenta and Maersk had ”successfully navigated major disruptions thanks to significantly increased resilience”, including the Covid pandemic and the Red Sea crisis, and had identified opportunities for reducing GHG emissions from Syngenta’s supply chain.
”We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Maersk, a company that shares our commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said Mike Hollands, global head of production and supply at Syngenta Crop Protection.
”Syngenta and Maersk have a strong alignment in prioritising 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 optimise our supply chains, leveraging digital logistics and artificial intelligence,” he commented.
The extended partnership reinforced Syngenta’s and Maersk’s shared commitment to sustainability and innovation as industry leaders in driving efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible supply chain solutions, the statement outlined.
”The journey we are on together with Syngenta underpins Maersk’s position as an integrated logistics provider,” explained Dimitris Armenakis, vice-president, global head of lead logistics and supply chain management at Maersk.
”We thrive by the success of our customers and contribute to this by developing solutions that optimise and simplify their supply chains.
“We are always looking to innovate on behalf of our customers and add further value to their business,” he added.
