We, as humans, are social beings that rely on collaboration to survive and thrive.📈 At Corteva Agriscience, collaboration is one of our key values. We are constantly collaborating with experts and partners to develop innovative solutions, but this is not enough. We also need collaboration among farmers, policymakers and the industry. EU decisions impact farmers, resulting in them having fewer options and opportunities. EU decisions can further impact the lives and livelihoods of farmers in other regions of the world, like Africa. Let's take a holistic approach, work together and ensure no one is left behind.

I cherish conversations like the one I had with dss+, where I reflect on my #careerjourney. As important as it is to speak about the experiences that shaped my career, I also shared my view of the future. I believe that as businesses evolve, so will #sustainability be naturally integrated into the business operations, from R&D to designing the solutions we offer our customers. Sustainability roles will, sooner or later, become obsolete. As my early experience in the fields interacting with the frontline teams has taught me a lot about adapting to change, I look forward to embracing this #change too. #LeadershipinAg #Sustainability #MakingaDifference

It underscores the significance of IP rights, such as patents, trademarks, industrial designs and copyright in fostering innovation and creativity. ⚖ This international day also serves as an occasion to emphasize a need for a balanced IP system to acknowledge and reward inventors and creators, ensuring that society benefits from their ingenuity.

Human Rights it`s a shared responsibility! As we strive to create an inclusive economic growth and a sustainable business environment, at Bayer we embrace a paramount responsibility to integrate Human Rights into every aspect of our way to do business. … and we know the commitment to support and enhance Human Rights cannot be shouldered by individuals or entities in isolation… but as a community, from regulators, through companies, to individuals. That is why Crop Science Procurement LATAM is fostering partnership with our suppliers to collaborate closely and ensure that Human Rights are not just upheld but are boosted at every link of the supply chain. A few days ago we had our first Human Right Day with vendors, in Brazil. It was a session of deep dialogue about how we can collaborate in even better ways to secure we know and implement the best practices in different aspects as working conditions, fair trade and no discrimination and inclusion… check out a video with a brief. My colleague Thiago Alves, Director for Seed Production Latam, and I had the honor to open the session, remarking how fundamental are Human Rights to our operations. Great engagement from our suppliers; special thanks to Claudia Moura, with Grupo Toniato and Rodolpho Simas, with Cargill, for sharing their experiences in the round table moment. Thanks to Bayer speakers Livia Sousa, Danielly Martin, Ettore Rossi and Vinicius Almeida. And thanks a lot to the Pro Team who organized this event: Livia Sousa, Thais Amaral, Rafa Marques, Rafa Riberio, Paula Londonio, Vitor Reginaldo and Ana Barbara Pereira. #HumanRights #CorporateResponsibility #SustainableDevelopment

Abstact: Acknowledging organizations within a multispecies world is crucial for advancing sustainability. This commentary advocates for “multispecies inclusivity” in business and society as a new concept, transcending the traditional anthropocentrism that determines whose interests “matter.” We offer insights into this concept, discuss associated challenges, and propose pathways for implementing it into organizational practices.

Here's to the 'stars' of the show, those who form the backbone of secondary raw material flows. Without waste recovery, there would be no chance for value addition and no hope for giving multiple lives to circulating materials. There is no milestone we could achieve in fostering the circular economy for single-use plastics without looking to the daily workers who ensure that the wheels keep turning. We celebrate these stars, and we commit through our actions to continue empowering them with decent work in our quest to drive sustainable production & consumption. #wecreatechemistry #decentwork #circulareconomy
