ESG at Agriculture

ESG Governance

AB Agri developed its responsibility strategy and governance framework following a full materiality assessment carried out in 2022, and conducted a materiality refresh in 2026 to identify its key ESG impacts, risks and opportunities. The assessment included consumer surveys, research on future trends in retailer demand and government policy, and an analysis of the scientific evidence behind policy and consumer perceptions. In 2026, this strategy and governance framework was reviewed to ensure it remained relevant and aligned with business priorities and customer requirements. Following this update, AB Agri retained its nine 'Care' factors, and grouped them across three themes:

• environment: to reduce greenhouse gas (‘GHG’) emissions, resource use, land use, plastic waste and to protect water and biodiversity;
• human rights and societal impact: to respect human rights across its supply chain; and
• animal welfare: to safeguard animal health and wellbeing.

A cross-business steering group has been established for each theme to oversee progress against its respective Care factors through defined metrics, action plans and performance monitoring. These steering groups meet quarterly and comprise representatives from across AB Agri’s businesses.

In addition, the AB Agri’s Managing Directors’ Responsibility Forum meets quarterly, bringing together managing directors or their delegates from each business. This forum facilitates the connection of senior management across businesses and integrates the management of ESG actions with commercial decisions and business strategy.

AB Agri has a Responsibility Policy, along with a number of related policies and statements, all available on its website. In November 2025, AB Agri introduced an Environmental Stewardship Policy outlining its approach.
