Sustainable Sourcing
Sustainable sourcing is fundamental to our sustainability strategy and future success. This is becoming a baseline expectation for us. We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible business practices and meet our rigorous standards in:
- Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) performance
- Social responsibility
- Ethical business conduct
Our key focus areas include decarbonizing our supply chain, monitoring and reducing ESG risks through EcoVadis assessments and upholding fair labour standards globally. All suppliers must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines our requirements and expectations.
Supplier Support
TfS Academy

Labor Care Program (Fair Labor)
Syngenta is committed to ensuring fair labor conditions across its support chain, and we recognize our responsibility to ensure our suppliers meet the highest ethical standards.
We are committed to implement the Syngenta Labor Care Program (Fair Labor) Code of Conduct across our seed supply network, which enables us to behave ethically in our business activities and to respect people and communities wherever we operate. We expect our suppliers to do the same.
EcoVadis
Syngenta partners with EcoVadis, a leading global sustainability assessment provider, to implement standardized supplier evaluations and enhance sustainability performance across our supply chain.

GHG emissions
A significant portion of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originates from our supply chain (Scope 3). Reducing these emissions requires active collaboration with our suppliers. It’s becoming the norm for companies to measure their GHG emissions and identify decarbonisation opportunities.
