AGCO: Environmental Leadership
As we help professional farmers work their land in communities around the world, AGCO is also helping to care for the Earth we all share. In all our activities, we seek to protect the natural environment from harmful influences, conserve natural resources and promote environmental awareness.
Manufacturing Initiatives: At our AGCO manufacturing plants, we comply with environmental regulations; however, we are constantly working in a proactive way to meet higher standards. There are many examples: replacing fluorescent lighting to reduce waste mercury pollution; adopting painting materials and procedures that reduce air pollution inside and outside the plants; recycling wooden pallets and crates; recycling water; substituting biodegradable solvents for chloride solvents and more.
Product Design: Innovative equipment design also provides environmental benefits. Our leading-edge transmission and engine technologies reduce emissions and noise while improving fuel economy. We are also advancing the use of biodegradable fuels and bio-diesel fuels (such as sugar cane fuel in Brazil).
Technology: AGCO is a leader in providing high-tech, integrated solutions for precision farming. Today, farmers are using our proven technology to save fuel, manage chemical and fertilizer applications, increase crop yield and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
At AGCO, we take our environmental responsibility very seriously - as an important measure of good corporate citizenship and ethical corporate governance.
AGCO's worldwide brands include many of the most trusted names in agriculture.
