Syngenta is a world-leading plant science company committed to promoting sustainable agriculture through innovative research and technology. Our Purpose and Values drive our company.

Our Purpose
Bringing plant potential to life is our company purpose. While we are a young company, our history with plants goes back many decades. It’s a heritage we are proud of and build on.

Plants are essential for life. They continually renew the earth’s resources. They provide food, oxygen, fuel, shelter, clothing and medicine. Unlocking the full potential of plants will overcome many of the global challenges that we face.

We play a critical role in harnessing the power of plants to meet these challenges. Syngenta products help farmers around the world increase the productivity of existing farmland and improve the economic welfare of rural communities.

We understand the language of plants.

We bring plant potential to life by working to our values: Innovation, Intensity, Health and Performance. These values are at the core of everything we do at Syngenta. They help to guide our actions and decisions.

Our Values
Innovation means always seeking a better way: turning breakthrough ideas in science and business into new solutions. We do that by fostering our people’s creativity and working closely with customers.

Intensity is about mobilizing a “can-do” approach: focusing our passion and energy. That enables us to build new partnerships to create a winning edge.

Our Health value contributes to the quality of life. It reflects our profound respect for nature and the environment, together with our commitment to releasing employees’ vitality and potential.

Performance means delivering high-quality results and achieving benchmark standards: building our company safely and ethically, and keeping our promises.
