The strength of our partnership together with our shared sustainability ambitions, including the commitment to reduce carbon emissions, have meant both Croda and Syngenta have made great progress against our sustainability programmes.  We look forward to working on more projects with Syngenta in the future to develop more sustainable innovative systems.”
