As part of the company’s commitment to sustainability, Monsanto announced it has adopted an operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity goal of reducing its emissions from crop protection operations by 22 percent by 2020.
The company announced the goal as part of its 2014 Sustainability Report released this week. In the report, Monsanto said it has advanced all three of its sustainability principles: improving the lives of farmers, workers and communities, producing enough food to make a balanced meal accessible to all, and conserving earth’s resources and preserving the natural environment.
