正文(英文) | Partnership will focus on water management and land use, and also support work to reduce food loss and greenhouse gas emissions MINNEAPOLIS/WASHINGTON (April 30, 2020)—Even during this unprecedented time, the importance of accelerating and scaling sustainable business and farming practices is top of mind for food and agriculture companies around the globe. To help businesses achieve the sustainability efforts needed to feed a rapidly growing population, Cargill is contributing $2 million USD to the next phase of its partnership with World Resources Institute (WRI). The two global entities will combine their expertise to accelerate the development and improvement of tools, including Global Forest Watch and a new Water Management Toolkit, for sustainable business operations. Water Management Toolkit
“Water is a key priority for Cargill because it is such a critical input to agriculture,” said Truke Smoor, director of water at Cargill. “We believe we have an important leadership role in working with partners, like WRI, and across our value chain to accelerate sustainable water solutions that protect water quality and quantity and promote access to clean water.” Global Forest Watch
“WRI creates industry-leading tools that businesses rely on to set and execute ambitious, science-based sustainability strategies,” said Craig Hanson, vice president of Food, Forests, Water and the Ocean at WRI. “As a business that works towards a more sustainable operation each day, we find Cargill’s experience to be invaluable. Cargill’s grant will enable many more businesses to have access to the tools and resources they need to manage and improve their own sustainability programs.” In addition to water management and land use, Cargill is contributing to the development of WRI’s industry leading protocols to reduce food loss and waste, and measure greenhouse gas emissions for land use change, which will bring long-term value to companies’ operations across the globe. “No single organization holds the secret to more sustainable business practices – it’s a joint effort. Cargill’s goal is to work with others to understand best practices, create new tools, and offer access to resources, as well as to learn and share,” said Michelle Grogg, vice president of global corporate responsibility at Cargill. “We believe agriculture is how we will improve the social, economic and environmental circumstances of our communities and suppliers, and we’re glad to work with WRI to maximize these efforts for all.” CONTACT Lauren Zelin, Media Director, WRI, lzelin@wri.org |
