Building enduring sustainability into your business

Towards a lasting ESG presence

ESG investments are currently estimated at $30 trillion and are forecast to remain on an explosive growth trajectory. Switching to sustainable practices makes economic sense.

The focus on sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) in the food and agribusiness industry has sharply increased in recent years and this trend looks as though it will only intensify. Historically, short-termism within the sector has resulted in a negative impact.
