Danish ocean carrier Maersk and Syngenta Crop Protection, an agricultural innovation company, have extended their fourth-party logistics (4PL) partnership for an additional five years.
This renewal highlights both companies’ dedication to responsible logistics through ongoing supply chain optimization and innovation.
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Maersk, a company that shares our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Syngenta and Maersk have a strong alignment in prioritizing sustainability and driving innovation. Our partnership has proven its value, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together by continuing to develop and implement cutting-edge solutions that optimize our supply chains, leveraging digital logistics and artificial intelligence,” stated Mike Hollands, Global Head of Production & Supply at Syngenta Crop Protection.
Sustainability remains a focal point of the partnership, with both companies committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across their logistics operations. Maersk has set a target to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2040, while Syngenta aims to decarbonize its operations with clear sustainability benchmarks. Regular emissions reporting and ongoing sustainability assessments are key measures of success within the partnership.
Over the last eight years, Syngenta and Maersk have effectively managed significant disruptions, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Red Sea crisis, while also finding ways to reduce GHG emissions within Syngenta’s supply chain.
“The journey we are on together with Syngenta underpins Maersk’s position as an integrated logistics provider. We thrive by the success of our customers and contribute to this by developing solutions that optimise and simplify their supply chains. We are always looking to innovate on behalf of our customers and add further value to their business,” commented Dimitris Armenakis, Global Head of Managed by Maersk Product.
