Resource Efficiency and Climate Change

We recognize climate change is a significant risk that requires adaptation, mitigation, initiatives and recognize the transition risks associated with it.

Climate change is causing higher temperatures and more extreme weather events, such as greater frequency and intensity of rainfall and droughts, which are affecting our agribusiness operations.
