Commitments by aspirational objectives:
ADM stated the following commitments:
A climate neutral food chain in Europe by 2050
1. We will go beyond net emissions on our commitment to reduce GHG emissions by pledging an absolute reduction in GHG emissions: 25 percent over 2019 baseline by year 2035 (By comparison, the EU-wide targets have 1990 as baseline).
2. We commit to reducing energy intensity by 15 percent over 2019 baseline by year 2035.
An optimized circular and resource-efficient food chain in Europe
1. We will reduce our water intensity by 10 percent over 2019 baseline by 2035.
2. We commit to 90 percent diverted waste from landfill over 2019 baseline by 2035.
3. We defined 5-year milestones to keep track of improvement and ensure we reach our goals.
Sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
1. We reaffirm our pledge to achieve 50 percent gender parity among ADM’s senior leadership structure by 2030.
Sustainable sourcing in food supply chains
1. We aim to eliminate deforestation from all of our supply chains by 2030.
2. We commit to achieve full traceability of direct and indirect sourcing throughout our soy supply chains in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina by the end of 2022.
3. We pledge to promote initiatives to protect native vegetation beyond forests with the aim to end native vegetation conversion in the shortest time possible, reconciling production of soy with environmental, economic and social interests in high risk areas such as the Cerrado and Chaco biomes in South America.
