SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Goal 12 seeks to transform global consumption and production patterns for long-term sustainability. Valent remains committed to zero- waste operations and to developing products that support sustainable, efficient agricultural systems across North America. Aligned with Target 12.2 , we prioritize sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources. Target 12.5 guides our ongoing efforts to minimize waste generation through prevention, recycling, and reuse. Crop protection products play a vital role in improving crop quality and yield, enhancing farming efficiency, and increasing profitability for growers. Valent, together with our parent company Sumitomo Chemical, continues to innovate, delivering effective solutions that meet customer needs while addressing the challenges of modern agriculture.
Our Sustainable Solutions Business Unit (SSBU) actively promotes a diverse portfolio of products and services that foster soil health, provide nutritious food, and support food security for future generations, in line with Target 12.2. To advance Target 12.5 , we implement waste reduction initiatives across our facilities. At our North American Innovation Center, we partnered with Alameda County Industries (ACI) to launch a comprehensive zero-waste program. This 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 suppliers to recycle materials and other consumables.
