Protect Forests, Biodiversity and Communities

As one of the world’s leading agricultural processors and food-ingredient providers, ADM commits to build traceable and transparent agricultural supply chains that protect forests, biodiversity and communities worldwide.

Though we are not a grower of crops, we work independently and with other stakeholders to ensure the crops we source globally follow a socially fair and environmentally sustainable standard that can contribute to the livelihood of the communities where they are grown and protect the environment we all share. Our Policy to Protect Forests, Biodiversity and Communities outlines our efforts to achieve traceability, promote solutions to climate change, respect human rights, eliminate deforestation, and support agriculture as a way to leverage economic development by reducing poverty and increasing food security.
