Modern Slavery Statement

The Australian leadership team have released the FY24 Modern Slavery Statement which reaffirms our dedication to upholding labour rights in our own operations and across the value chain.

Syngenta works with key stakeholders along the agricultural value chain, including but not limited to suppliers, employees, farmers, food chain partners, the communities in which we operate, and society at large. Our business depends on sustainable natural resources, healthy ecosystems, and thriving rural communities, which is why Syngenta cooperates with industry partners, governments, and NGOs to support the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our commitment to human rights and fair labor is expressed in the Syngenta Group Code of Conduct, our Principles for Sustainable and Responsible Agriculture, and the Syngenta Labor Standards. All employees are expected to live up to this commitment.

Syngenta recognises that the impact on human rights goes beyond direct operations and expects third parties to conduct business legally and ethically. The Supplier Code of Conduct outlines these expectations, including compliance requirements related to child labor, illegal, forced, bonded, and compulsory labor. These requirements are integrated into the supplier contracts.
