INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
Driving traceability and positive supply chain impact
​
ANVYMEX operates in a number of supply chains where social and environmental challenges exist. Poverty is often at the root of these issues. These supply chains include rice, coffee, cashew, soybean,...
We, therefore, implement programs as defined by our 10 material areas, advocating and implementing international best practices. We also focus on Innovation and Technology, to help us get beyond incremental improvements and achieve our purpose to Re-imagine Global Agriculture and Food Systems.
Our sustainable insights platform, source, is enabling us to leverage data from our supply chains to focus on transformative actions and create transparency for each stage of the supply chain journey.
Nutrition and Health
Challenge: Improve farmer and employee wellness and longevity.
Poverty, lack of health infrastructure, and access to clean water and sanitation contribute to lowered life expectancies in many of the countries upon which we rely for core crops, which also correlates with farm productivity. Those with specific health issues, whether suffering a disease or exposed to episodic risks, such as pregnant women, are particularly vulnerable.
Healthy Ecosystems
Every crop we grow, or source is embedded in a broader, complex, and delicate ecosystem in which change to one factor intended to produce a positive outcome can have negative impacts on others, thereby creating biodiversity risks to the smallest bees and the largest apes and elephants. It's made particularly challenging because most of those crops come from third parties. Our vision is one of living landscapes where farmers and communities prosper within regenerated ecosystems.
Seed Science
To re-imagine global agriculture and food systems we need to harness both technology and science, as well as encourage new ways of thinking to address the many interconnected challenges described by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
​
Our Initiatives Include:
-
Ensuring our employees have access to sufficient and safe sources of food, water, and sanitation during working hours
-
Running the ANVYMEX Campaign to reach communities with campaigns on health and nutrition
-
Promoting crop diversification to farmers to improve food and nutrition security
-
Mobile medical screenings in rural areas
