The 2025 report is structured around Yara’s localised 5Cs framework: Commit, Connect, Care, Concern, and Contribute. This framework aligns directly with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address critical agricultural priorities in India, such as climate change, water scarcity, soil health, digital empowerment, and inclusive rural growth.

Yara, world’s leading fertilizer company and provider of environmental solutions, announced the release of its 2025 Sustainability Report, titled “Building Trust Through 15 Years of Responsible Growth” at a launch event held at the FICCI Federation House in New Delhi.  Prepared in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards 2021, the report offers a transparent, data-driven account of the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance across its operations, including its world-class manufacturing facility in Babrala (Uttar Pradesh), its corporate headquarters in Gurugram, and the registered office in Pune.

Speaking on the development, H.E. May-Elin Stener, Ambassador of Norway to India said, “The India-EFTA trade and economic partnership agreement reflects our shared confidence in India’s growth story and our commitment to deepening economic cooperation. Yara India’s success over the past 15 years demonstrates how long-term partnerships, rooted in trust and sustainability, can deliver meaningful impact for farmers, communities, and the environment.”

Speaking on the launch, Sanjiv Kanwar, Managing Director, Yara South Asia, said, “We are proud to celebrate 15 years of growing alongside Indian agriculture with the release of our 2025 Sustainability Report. Trust is our metric of progress. Over the last decade and a half, we have integrated sustainability directly into the core of our business model-driving deep emission cuts in our operations, pioneering low-carbon logistics, and scaling digital agronomy. Through our team of expert agronomists and our digital ecosystems, we are equipping millions of smallholders with the precision tools needed to improve soil health, elevate crop yields, and build long-term climate resilience across India.”

The report highlights key operational, environmental, and social milestones achieved during the reporting year:

Commit (Ethical Governance & Risk): Assessed 100 per cent of operations for corruption risks under a robust three-tier governance system and conducted our first comprehensive climate risk assessment evaluating physical and transition hazards up to 2040.

Connect (Resource Efficiency & Supply Chains): Slashed logistics emissions by 52.41 per cent under “Operation MoonShot” via rail and bulk-vessel shipping. Expanded digital outreach to 6.15 million+ YaraFarmcare downloads and 19,000+ YaraConnect partners, and reduced packaging complaints by 64 per cent using an AI-enabled visual inspection system

Care (Environmental Stewardship & Employee Well-being):  Reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 3.4 per cent with a GHG intensity of 2.522 tCO₂e/tN (beating the global target of 2.7). Recycled 177.84 Mega Liters of water, harvested 90.285 Mega Liters of rainwater, and maintained zero employee and contractor LTIFR

Concern (Farmer Support & Scientific Agronomy):  Conducted 71,784 agronomy-led activities pan-India. Supported 5 PhD scholars through the newly launched Women in Agronomy Scholar Award, and expanded national policy leadership with MD Sanjiv Kanwar appointed as Chair of the FICCI Task Force on Innovative Crop Nutrition

Contribute (Deepening Community Trust):  Supported 353 Women SHGs (reaching 4,700+ women) via our Kiran initiative. Delivered 6,695 OPD and 4,191 mobile clinic treatments, supported 20,000+ students with digital smart classrooms, and provided clean drinking water to 300+ families.

The launch event was graced by H.E. May-Elin Stener, Ambassador of Norway to India, who served as the Guest of Honor and delivered the opening remarks, highlighting the strong bilateral cooperation and shared green transition commitments between Norway and India. The event also featured key addresses from Saurabh Mathur, General Manager – Technical Services & Sustainability, Babrala Plant, who detailed localized manufacturing and environmental milestones.

Going forward, Yara India will focus on three priorities: expanding its bio-stimulants and biological solutions portfolio, improving efficiency at the Babrala Plant, and strengthening its carbon-efficient logistics network to reduce emissions and enhance supply chain efficiency.
