Environment

In a world where environmental issues are at the forefront of our minds, the importance of the environmental stewardship of agricultural professionals is becoming increasingly apparent.

As turf professionals you are contributing to the production and maintenance of CO2 consuming grass plants.

Independent and well documented studies conducted by leading academic agronomists have shown that healthy turf and gardens are of tremendous benefit to our environment, as well as our mental and physical health. Green spaces also provide corridors for native fauna and flora.

By partnering with Scotts your contribution to the environment is further enhanced.

Globally, The Scotts Company is committed to operating its business in a manner consistent with its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy – to achieve excellence in environmental, health and safety performance for its employees, business partners, customers and communities in which it operates.
