Syngenta Crop Protection and Maersk have announced a five-year renewal of their fourth-party logistics (4PL) cooperation.
A 4PL provider enhances third-party logistics by managing resources, technology, infrastructure, and other logistics providers to develop, construct, and deliver customised supply chain solutions.
Maersk aspires to reach net zero GHG emissions throughout its whole company by 2040, whereas Syngenta’s sustainability initiatives include intensifying efforts to decarbonise operations and establishing defined targets for sustainable operations.

Under the cooperation, regular reporting on emissions and continuing engagement on sustainability results are critical determinants of corporate performance.
Over the past eight years, Syngenta and Maersk have successfully navigated major disruptions thanks to significantly increased resilience, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Red Sea crisis and identified opportunities for reducing GHG emissions from Syngenta’s supply chain.
