of the present without compromising the ability of future

generations to meet their needs.” (Brundtland Report, 1987)

Why Have a Sustainability Program?

Environmental Management & Compliance Benefits

(Nexus)

• Compliance Burdens are Lowered by Reducing Air

Emissions, Waste Water, and Wastes.

• Environmental Contamination Risks

There’s Money to be Saved

• Improving Energy Efficiency Lowers Costs

• Reducing Water Usage and Waste Water Discharge Lowers

Costs

• Reducing Waste Lowers Costs

Needed to Meet Customer Expectations

• Answering Customer Questionnaires

Strengthen Corporate Reputation and Brand

• Reporting & Disclosure

What is Within the “Nexus”?

Reducing Waste Water can Reduce Discharged

Pollutants, which can Improve Discharge Compliance and

Reduce Discharge Costs

Improving Energy Efficiency Can Reduce Air Emissions

and Can Reduce Emission Charges while Reducing Fuel

and Electricity Cost

Reducing Waste Generation Reduces Disposal Costs

This not only makes Environmental Management Sense, it

also makes Business Sense.

Improved Sustainability = Improved Environmental

Management = Good Business Strategy

“Field to Market”

Bunge is part of Field to Market, an alliance for Sustainable Agriculture,

which includes U.S. grower organizations, agribusinesses, food

companies and conservation organizations.

Multilateral effort to promote sustainability in production agriculture,

focusing on water, soil and habitat conservation.

Fieldprint Calculator helps farmers assess how their operational

decisions affect overall sustainability performance – land, energy,

water use, GHG emissions and soil loss.
