Maersk & Syngenta Renew Partnership for Sustainable Logistics

Maersk, the Danish ocean carrier, and Syngenta Crop Protection, a leader in agricultural innovation, have extended their fourth-party logistics (4PL) partnership for another five years.

This renewed agreement reflects both companies’ commitment to advancing sustainable logistics through continuous supply chain improvements and innovative solutions.

“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,” said Mike Hollands, Syngenta Crop Protection’s Global Head of Production & Supply.

Sustainability is a key element of this partnership, with both companies focused on lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within their logistics operations. Maersk has pledged to reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2040, while Syngenta is working toward clear sustainability targets to decarbonize its operations. Regular emissions reporting and assessments are part of their ongoing commitment to these goals.

Over the past eight years, Maersk and Syngenta have successfully navigated significant challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Red Sea crisis, all while finding ways to reduce Syngenta’s supply chain emissions.

“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,” added Dimitris Armenakis, Global Head of Managed by Maersk Product.
