SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Goal 12 aims to reshape global consumption and production patterns toward long-term sustainability. Valent is steadfast in its commitment to zero waste operations and the development of products that support sustainable, efficient agricultural systems across North America. Aligned with Target 12.2 we focus on ensuring the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources, while Target 12.5 drives our ongoing efforts to reduce waste generation through prevention, recycling, and reuse. Crop protection products play a crucial role in improving the quality and yield of agricultural crops, enhancing farming efficiency, and increasing profitability for growers. Valent, alongside our parent company Sumitomo Chemical, continues to innovate, delivering effective solutions that meet customer needs and address the challenges of modern agriculture.
Our Sustainable Solutions Business Unit (SSBU) team actively promotes a diverse portfolio of products and services that foster soil health, provide nutritious food, and help ensure food security for future generations, in alignment with Target 12.2. In our commitment to achieving Target 12.5, we actively implement waste reduction initiatives across our facilities. At our North American Innovation Center, we’ve partnered with Alameda County Industries (ACI) to launch a comprehensive zero-waste program. This program includes educational signage, employee engagement, and a streamlined waste management system that encourages recycling, composting, and proper disposal. We also prioritize sustainable office supplies and work with our suppliers to recycle office materials and other consumables.
