Our 2030 Commitments
Data-led sustainability for crop protection decisions
Sustainability in crop protection has to be specific enough for customer review. General claims do not help an EHS manager approve storage conditions, a procurement team compare suppliers, or an agronomist explain responsible use. Corteva frames sustainability around measurable checkpoints: emissions, water, responsible formulation, operator safety, stewardship education, packaging, and third-party review. The page is intentionally data-heavy because B2B buyers need evidence they can place into internal supplier scorecards, customer audits, and market access discussions.
2030 targets and current status
| Target | 2019 Baseline | 2024 Status | 2030 Goal | Methodology |

Third-party verification and methodology
Corteva uses external standards and customer-recognized reporting structures where they are relevant to crop protection decisions. Supplier scorecards may ask for emissions methodology, site environmental systems, safety programs, chemical stewardship evidence, or product-family documentation. Our sustainability process therefore connects annual reporting with practical files: SDS revision history, responsible-use briefs, training notes, waste and packaging statements, and market-specific documentation. This avoids separating corporate sustainability from the documents a buyer actually needs to approve a product family.
