FPO
Partnerships In 2023, Valent strengthened its partnership with America’s Conservation Ag Movement/ Trust in Food to produce a new series of educational videos that promote our third- party reviewed sustainable solutions criteria. These efforts, in collaboration with Sumitomo Chemical and key partners in sustainable agriculture, including customers and growers, are focused on advancing soil health and promoting sustainable food and fiber crop production for the future. As a founding member of the Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC), Valent continues to play a key role in recycling efforts, contributing to the recycling of over 236 million pounds of agricultural plastic since 1992. In 2023, this initiative has helped divert 1.18 million cubic yards of waste from landfills and supported over $118 million in investments to enhance sustainability in agriculture. Valent also continue d its partnership with Field to Market, a collaborative effort that works to define, measure, and advance the sustainability of food, feed, fiber, and fuel production in the U.S. This collaboration supports our shared goals of reducing environmental impacts across the agricultural supply chain.
Through our network of strategic partnerships, we work with organizations like CropLife America, CropLife International, the Agricultural Retailers Association, the National Corn Growers Association, the Western Plant Health Association, the Rice Foundation, and others to explore initiatives that promote responsible consumption, reduce food waste, and improve sustainability across the industry. Valent is also committed to reducing our environmental footprint in all areas of operations. In partnership with IT vendors, we replaced desktop printers with energy- efficient multifunction printers (MFPs) across various Valent sites. This transition reduces paper waste, conserves energy, and lowers maintenance requirements, contributing to our broader environmental sustainability goals.
