UPL PUBLISHES INAUGURAL 'AFRICA SUSTAINABILITY REPORT' SHOWCASING COMMITMENT TO THE SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION OF AFRICA'S FOOD SYSTEMS

Highlights include:

Jai Shroff, Global CEO of UPL Ltd., said: "UPL is one of the most established agricultural businesses investing in Africa, and I am very proud that we are the first global business to detail our sustainability commitment across the continent in this way. Our activities across Africa exemplify our global commitment to farmers and food systems, and the importance of reimagining sustainability as a catalyst for positive change."

Marcel Dreyer, Regional Head of Africa & Middle East, said: "Agriculture is vital to Africa's economies and responsible for 60% of employment across the continent. Yet, the sector faces a range of challenges and the continent remains a net importer of many staple foods. We are working with farmers to face these challenges and transform Africa's food systems into efficient, resilient, and sustainable systems that deliver shared benefits for growers, their communities and our environment." 

UPL is a global provider of sustainable agriculture products and solutions, bringing biological and conventional agricultural inputs to more than 138 countries worldwide. UPL is the largest distributor of Africa-adapted biosolutions and integrated offers, and is the only multinational agribusiness to be a member or signatory of some of Africa's most significant sustainability reporting initiatives, including the Cocoa and Forests Initiative (CFI).
