The Corteva approach to transparency and openness is simple. Driven by our purpose and values, we strive to treat all stakeholders with the respect and honesty they deserve and with a commitment to openly share information most meaningful to them. We do this even when it’s difficult, and even when it reveals where we have more work to do to reach our ideals.
These aren’t just lofty words. We consider openness and transparency so important that we now have principles to guide us as we make critical business decisions.
If we cannot share information, we will explain why and seek to satisfy the interest in another way.
We will present information that is clear, accurate, and relevant for internal and external stakeholders – including those whose interests are not aligned with ours. We will listen to understand and encourage feedback.
And we will take responsibility for all organizational actions and results, even on controversial issues.
When outcomes are undesirable, we will disclose what we have done, or will do, to address the situation.
We understand that being more open, not just about what we do but how we do it, is of interest to consumers, employees, and our farmer customers. We know it will take some hard work and deliberate actions to move to a culture of genuine and intentional open communications. But Corteva is committed to doing so, and we hope you will join us on our journey.
