Green thinking
As an agriculture-based company , sustainability is important to Syngenta . The Good Growth Plan initiative , launched in 2013 , aims to improve fertility and biodiversity of land . This means keeping a closer eye on the carbon footprint produced through logistics operations , Leopoldes explains : “ What we did was fairly simple , but we wanted to be able to measure the carbon footprint directly at the source of our operational setup and execution . With GT Nexus , we have developed a way to measure the footprint by considering what we move from a volume standpoint , what we move by distance from A to B , and how we move it – whatever transport we use , we have a matrix . GT Nexus technology means we can create an automatic calculation of our carbon footprint taking those transactional elements into consideration .” This system is not wildly different to that of other systems on the market , but it allows Syngenta to calculate its environmental impact on an individual level .
