## Corporate Responsibility performance summary 

Syngenta’s performance in relation to stewardship, resource efficiency, people, environment, compliance and economic value shared is summarized on pages 54–57. The environmental performance numbers have been normalized to US$EBIT 1  to better relate our performance in these areas to value creation. In 2011, Syngenta re-organized its region structure resulting in certain countries moving from one region to another and the former region “NAFTA” becoming region “North America”. For comparability purposes, 2009 and 2010 region information has been adjusted to reflect the new region structure. 2  For more detailed information on our Corporate Responsibility performance in 2011, see the Annual Report website www.syngenta.com/ar2011 

## Resource efficiency programs and stewardship 

Part of our holistic offer includes a range of programs that help minimize the impacts of farming activities on the environment by reducing soil erosion, conserving water resources and improving productivity for more efficient land use. Our stewardship programs train growers to use our products safely and effectively to maximize the benefits while reducing the risk of harm to themselves or the environment. 

Safe use programs for growers are just one part of our stewardship throughout the lifecycle of our products. We have strict safety procedures in place for the research and development, production and supply of our products as we develop new solutions that will contribute to food security.
