We are here to future-proof the South African agriculture industry.
The WinField United South Africa 2023 Sustainability Report
The WinField United South Africa 2023 report reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and striving to always do better. It highlights the hard work, dedication, and passion of our team, who have made sustainability a key part of everything we do. In these pages, we convey how we’ve supported local communities, provided trainings internally and externally, worked with our stakeholders and partners, and how we are continuously drive initiatives for climate action and other sustainable development goals.
But our journey is far from over. While we’re proud of what we’ve achieved, we know there’s more to do. This report outlines where we can improve and sets ambitious goals for the future. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries, innovating, and working with our stakeholders to make real change happen.
We're committed to making our world a better place. After all, being a co-op means being a responsible partner and good neighbor. It means using our voice as an industry leader in agriculture to showcase the areas of impact that our farmers and members are making across our cooperative network and the globe. We're developing the products, services and technology to help farmers and advance agriculture intelligently.
In 1921, 320 dairy farmers met in St. Paul, Minnesota, to form the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. The idea was simple: Join together to effectively market and distribute members’ dairy production across the country. Today, our four businesses (spanning the whole agricultural system!) give us a farmer-to-fork view of agriculture.
As part of Land O’Lakes, Inc., one of America’s premier agribusiness and food companies, WinField has provided unmatched agricultural expertise to farmers, retailers and other partners to help them succeed. As a customer-owned wholesale supplier of crop protection inputs, seed and crop nutrients, United Suppliers has served 600 agricultural dealers (owners) operating nearly 2,800 retail locations throughout the United States and parts of Canada.
By joining these industry leaders under one banner, WinField® United forges a commitment to shaping the future of farming. We believe we are uniquely positioned to help retailer owners and the farmers implement modern farming practices. To grow more food with fewer inputs. To be even better stewards of precious land and water resources. To always be mindful of the next generation of farmers who will carry on their legacy.
