Sustainable Solutions Criteria
Valent sustainable solution products must meet strict science-based criteria that results in improved performance for growers in the three standard pillars of sustainability — social (people), environmental (planet), economic (productivity).
To visually represent our criteria, we have developed eight easily distinguishable icons that highlight key sustainable practices and attributes of our products.
How Our Sustainable Solutions Icons Help You
Valent’s Sustainable Icons represent the areas of focus that Valent works toward everyday and through this approach we will continue providing you sustainable solutions into the future. Valent's Sustainable Icons provide a quick reference to our products’ fit in your sustainable agronomic system. To learn more, contact one of our sales team members or valued retailer partners.
The Science of Defining Sustainability Criteria
To be considered a Valent Sustainable Solution, products are evaluated utilizing data from multiple trusted sources that are backed by science. For each icon, a ranking scale has been developed that allows for an unbiased assessment of the product. Products that meet a minimum threshold rank are assigned an icon. Products that earn an icon in all three sustainable pillars are considered a Valent Sustainable Solution.
