Meet Valent Sustainable Solutions

Valent and our parent company Sumitomo Chemical Company (SCC) have held a long-standing commitment to sustainability. This commitment was underscored in 2017 with the launch of our new Sustainable Solutions Business Unit (SSBU).  The SSBU was created to accelerate adoption of sustainable, integrated crop management solutions for conventional and organic production. As a market leader in the delivery of biologically-based crop protection and enhancement solutions, we leverage a diverse team and state-of-the-art facilities to engineer the science that supports sustainable agriculture, landscape, and food supply. Sustainability at Valent is also about innovation with purpose. The SSBU is also committed to provide guidance for sustainability measurement, to help growers better meet market demand for sustainably grown crops, through the SCS Global Services Sustainably Grown certification. Sustainably Grown certification is aligned with leading US and EU standards and initiatives such as American National Standards Institute (AINSI), and Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP). The framework is also recognized by Unilever, and other major brands; giving growers the opportunity to communicate environmental, social and economic success while differentiating your products. Our Valent Sustainable Solutions team members are trained to help growers understand and meet the certification. Together with our parent company Sumitomo Chemical we use our people, products, and processes to help us fulfill a sustainability mission that seeks to provide solutions and services that advance sustainable agriculture, protect the environment, and benefit society at large.

The SDGs are a blueprint for a better future for all and bring together a range of shared goals to address poverty, food security, energy and the environment. Our part of the business is focused on food security and the environment, contributing to a stable food supply and increasing sustainable food production, through alignment with SDGs 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health & Well-being) and 6 Clean Water & Sanitation).
