Environment & Biodiversity

Agriculture and biodiversity are inextricably intertwined, for example, healthy crops require fertile soils and beneficial insects such as pollinators. Maintaining productive crops generally requires crop protection products, such as glyphosate. These products play a crucial role in helping to manage and mitigate the impact of various pests, diseases, and weeds that can negatively affect crop yield and quality.

Glyphosate is actually an important tool for helping farmers preserve the environment and biodiversity.

Monitoring data provide insights into the environmental exposure to agrochemicals. Observed concentrations of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA* in soil, water bodies and air are at levels that do not pose a risk for the environment or human health. The GRG is committed to targeted in-depth investigations to ensure environmental safety.

The drinking water treatment process is optimised to ensure that quality standards are met at the tap of the consumers. The predominant water treatment method is disinfection.

Strict guidelines and rules including safety assessments are set by the regulatory authorities worldwide (e.g. U.S. EPA or EFSA)

There is a consensus among scientists that ever-increasing carbon dioxide emission is the primary source for climate change.

Every year, up to 40 percent of the world’s potential harvests are lost to damaging pests, including weeds.

Glyphosate-based products have been extensively tested in the laboratory and in the field to evaluate potential toxicity to honey bees

Pollinators are critical for global ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Of the 115 leading global crops consumed by humans, 87 are, to some degree, pollinated by insects.
