Syngenta Collaborates with Ducks Unlimited on Conservation

The Sustainable and Responsible Business Team at Syngenta announced a collaboration with Ducks Unlimited, highlighting employees’ commitment to conservation in agriculture.  In the spring, Syngenta and DU developed a contest for sharing employee stories and recognizing their leadership in conservation.  Qualifying employees had the opportunity to showcase a range of products related to their personal, education, on-farm, or operational projects, with the grand prize winner getting two tickets to the “Concert for Conservation” in Las Vegas, NV, featuring Garth Brooks.

“Our goal is to learn from each other and to motivate staff to share, be involved, and do more, whether they grow crops or not,” said Liz Hunt, head of Syngenta Sustainability for North America.  “We know our staffs love the agricultural way of life, nature, and wide-open spaces.”

She added it’s also important DU staff realize they’re part of climate and biodiversity solutions too, not just the farmers Syngenta serves every day.
