Louis Dreyfus Company
LDC is a global seller and processor of agricultural products. They work to recognize a vision for a safe and sustainable future, contributing to sustainable development commitments to feed an ever-increasing population, and building on their rich heritage. Sustainability is a frequent consideration for their regional and promotional teams, who address environmental problems in everything they do and wherever they operate because it is central to their business model.
They retrieve corn oil from maize and process and market a wide range of oilseeds, which include sunflower seeds, rapeseed, and canola, but their major sources of cooking oils are palm and soy. Soybeans, both liquid and partially hydrogenated, are an important component of a wide range of oils, salad dressings, and processed foods. Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil in the world, with applications in a wide range of foods.
Their leading position in grains and oilseeds is linked to their commitment to a willingness to take responsibility for sourcing, traceable supply chains, and sustainable business practices around the world, in addition to their strong merchandising capabilities, growing product portfolio, and reputation for reliability and integrity. Increased traceability in their palm and soy operations is also important to their sustainability practices, as it encourages responsible land use and prevents native vegetation from being converted for soy and palm cultivation.
