Sustainability

At Agrifos, sustainability and responsibility are not just goals; they are our core values and part of our DNA. Therefore, we take a proactive approach, as we continuously work to improve and become more sustainable. We are committed to running our business with care, respecting the environment, our community, and our economic sustainability.

We believe that our shared passion for this creates the foundation for a well-run Agrifos — now and in the future. We strive to be a leading and inspiring example for others, which is why we closely follow the development in the industry, and are not afraid to set ambitious goals for ourselves.

Enviroment

We are well aware that, as a large crop farming company, we must take responsibility, as our actions today impact the world of tomorrow. We work with a long-term focus, striving to be in harmony with our land and the environmental surroundings, which we see as essential partners in our work and efforts. 

Over time, we have implemented a wide range of initiatives aimed at minimizing our climate impact, enhancing nature and biodiversity, improving water and air quality, and more. These are initiatives we are proud of and continue to develop. Some examples include GPS guidance, application maps, flower strips, and diversified crop planning. 

In addition to the initiatives we implement in Agrifos' crop farming, each of our primary farms has its own focus areas, such as afforestation, the establishment of mini-wetlands, the protection of existing hedgerows, wind energy, nature and wildlife care, among others. Together, our actions create a better foundation for future generations. 

Social

At Agrifos, we are committed to being a positive force in our local community and creating a workplace that offers flexibility and development opportunities, where our employees thrive and feel valued. Social responsibility is an integral part of our company culture, and we actively work to build connections and contribute to overall well-being, especially at the local level.

Our skilled team of employees is the driving force behind our operations, and therefore we'd go that extra mile to ensure that all work is carried out in healthy and safe environments. Additionally, we offer all employees good health insurance and pension plans. We are also proud to contribute to the education of future professionals by consistently offering two to three valuable trainee positions. 

We are proud sponsors of local community organizations because we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We prioritize local collaborations and relationships, working together to strengthen our shared future.

We are an extroverted, professional, and trustworthy company that builds relations based on trust. Our stakeholder engagement plays a central role in our corporate governance. We listen to our employees, partners, and the community to gain a better understand of the everchanging needs and concerns. This strengthens our ability to make well-informed decisions and adapt our strategy in an increasingly complex world.
