/PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural
sciences company, today released its 2023 sustainability report,
From the Ground Up. The 13th annual report
highlights the company's progress on its environmental goals,
sustainable product innovation and community and stakeholder
engagement. It is also the first publication of FMC's Climate
Transition Plan, which details the company's steps to achieve
net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2035.
"Sustainability and innovation are essential to growing our
business and meeting the evolving needs of farmers and our
industry," said Julie DiNatale, vice
president and chief sustainability officer. "This year's report
highlights FMC's dedication to building upon the strong foundation
established over the last decade and advancing sustainability
across the

In its Climate Transition Plan, FMC describes its strategy to
reduce emissions and address climate-related risks and
opportunities across its value chain. Key elements of the plan
include FMC's net-zero roadmap, which identifies early actions and
key levers for emissions reductions, and an overview of the
company's Scope 3 emissions and supplier engagement strategy. In
2023, the company reduced absolute Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 18%
and reduced absolute Scope 3 emissions by 27%. Additionally, FMC
has made significant strides in waste circularity, increasing waste
to beneficial reuse to 75% globally. The company's sites
continuously seek opportunities to drive efficiencies and turn
waste materials into valuable commodities.
FMC highlights its diverse portfolio of modern crop protection
solutions and how it supports sustainable farming around the world.
In addition to integrating sustainability and stewardship criteria
throughout its product development processes, the company
continuously evaluates how its products promote key areas of
sustainability on the farm, including climate resilience, water use
efficiency, biodiversity protection, soil and plant health, and
compatibility with regenerative agriculture practices.
"FMC is constantly innovating to help farmers solve increasing
challenges brought by a changing climate, regulatory pressures and
consumer demands," continued DiNatale. "As we develop new products,
we are focused on providing farmers with a variety of tools that
can be applied in a range of farming systems to improve
productivity, efficiency and sustainability."
