Sustainability
Our SWAT Sustainability strategy comes from alignment with our core values which drive our impact activities.
This strategy has landed on two pillars that addresses four Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
1Our Impact in the Field
Our mission is to empower modern food production to ensure that there is abundant, healthy food for current and future generations.
We are passionate about ensuring the vitality of life on land, balancing the needs of humans and wildlife to ensure a sustainable future.
2Our Impact on People
We serve our people and work hard to ensure their well-being, both at work and at home.
We believe that rural livelihoods are vital and that choosing a rural livelihood should allow for decent work and the economic growth of rural communities.

Our Impact on People
Our sustainability strategy guides how we create meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work. Through volunteer hours, corporate donations, research and development, and investments in research projects, we foster a culture of engagement that extends beyond the workplace. We focus on supporting local agricultural communities, prioritizing initiatives like food security, mental health, and community sports, with particular emphasis on organizations connected to our employees, their families, and our clients.
We grant each employee 8 hours of paid volunteer time each year, and they put it to work in ways that matter through activities like daycare fundraisers, blood donations, firefighting, cooking meals at Ronald McDonald House, keeping local parks clean, and much more. In 2025 alone, our team contributed a combined 216 volunteer hours, making a real difference where it matters most to them.

Investing in the local agricultural communities where our employees live and work is a major focus of our community impact strategy.
