United StatesIn Jefferson, Iowa, the Syngenta seed production and supply facility was honored by the Iowa-Illinois Safety Council, a chapter of the National Safety Council. The Syngenta Jefferson site earned awards in two categories, including Community Enrichment, for significant contributions to its local community.
The Minnesota Safety Council recognized the Syngenta Amboy and Dassel, Minnesota, seed production and supply facilities, and the Owatonna and Stanton, Minnesota, R&D sites with the Governor’s Safety Award for superior performance in workplace safety and health. The Amboy, Dassel and Owatonna locations were among 40 companies selected for the council’s highest award, the Award of Honor. This is the sixth consecutive year the Dassel site has received the Award of Honor. The Amboy facility was a first-time recipient. The Stanton location earned an Outstanding Achievement Award.
“At Syngenta, we recognize that recordable injuries are more than just numbers on a page – they’re serious problems for real people, our people,” said Ana Davis, head of Health, Safety, Environment and Security for Syngenta. “The health and safety of our people is a core value at Syngenta. As a leading global company committed to sustainable agriculture, we have a responsibility to protect the environment, and to ensure the health and safety of our employees, customers and the communities in which we operate.”
This recognition uniquely upholds Syngenta’s efforts to safely address the global food security challenge. They are direct examples of how Syngenta is bringing to life The Good Growth Plan, a framework of six ambitious commitments designed to increase productivity while using fewer resources, by helping people stay safe.
