Highlights from the 2020 ESG report
Environment
“ADAMA acknowledges the impact of climate change and endorses circular economy”, said Eran Segal, Head of Environment and Sustainability Sector. “During 2020, ADAMA made global efforts to better control greenhouse gas emissions by increasing energy efficiency and modifying its energy source mix to use lower GHG fuels and renewable sources. The company made great strides in terms of boosting the amount of waste that was reused or recycled.”
ADAMA makes continuous efforts to decrease its environmental footprint, including a sharp decrease in air emissions and water contaminant discharge.
Social
“ADAMA is home to a world of cultures, languages, perspectives, ideas, orientations, races and religions. We envision an open, inclusive and diverse work environment as part of our sustainable future,” Arlosoroff continued. “Our dedicated Diversity and Inclusion team is working on a full calendar of initiatives to amplify marginalized voices within our company.”
