Agrocorp Cares
Agrocorp Cares
From local to the rest of the world, we are always looking for the needs that we can meet. In the midst of doing so, we still uphold our standards of going eco-friendly and doing annual checks.
Environmental Responsibility
Nature's Cares Program
Nature’s Cares Program We actively took part in the Nature Cares program organized by the National Parks Board. Several of our employees participated in six organized activities over a period of one year, to reach out to a diverse group of beneficiaries. This program was aimed to encourage corporations and children to serve the needs of the community together through environmentally friendly activities.
Solar Panel Installation
We have recently completed 150kW of solar installations at our Warrego and Yumborra sites in Australia. These systems will save us 200,000 kWh of energy each year, which is roughly 30% of our consumption and is equivalent to planting 400 new trees.
Powered by Renewable Energy
As part of our continued commitment towards environmental responsibility and sustainable growth, our Headquarters in Singapore is partially powered by Renewable Energy.

29th International Congress for Conservation Biology

Biodiversity Conservation
As part of our continued efforts in sustainability and the support of the environment, Agrocorp is proud to support Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) and its work towards conserving the richness in biodiversity in Singapore and the region. As part of the program, we have adopted Divo, a male pygmy hippo. A formal ceremony was arranged and our chairman Mr. Vijay Iyengar presented the cheque to Ms. Isabel Cheng, Senior Director, Partnership Development at the Singapore Zoo. Our staff and their families met Divo and saw some of the other star attractions of the Zoo and the Bird Park.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Powering our offices with Solar energy
Adoption of Traceability Systems (ISO 2007)
Adoption of GMP Standard
Applications of Sustainability Accounting Standards
Annual Responsibility Measures Check
We measure our success not only in terms of scale but more importantly, on the traceability and sustainability of our agri-food products.
Sustainability, food security and nutrition are our priorities. Our emphasis in pulses is in recognition of the crop’s nitrogen fixing ability to re-nourish the soil while being an inexpensive yet nutritious meal in itself.
Traceability and ethics lead us to diligent scrutiny in our operations to ensure that we do business with suppliers that have fair and dignified labour practices and eco-friendly operations.

Social Responsibility
Love Army for Somalia
We supported the humanitarian crisis when Somalia was faced with famine by donating to a cause in partnership with Turkish Airlines. The aim of the cause was to charter planes to carry much needed food supplies to those who were in need in Somalia.
Society for the Physically Disabled
We were one of the partners for the “Count Me In” Charity Concert in Singapore. The funds raised from the concert went towards maximising the potential of people with disabilities.
Milaap
We supported an internal donation drive among our employees on a 2:1 basis to support Milaap, a crowdfunding site & raised more than $20,000. The funds were utilized to support farmers and women as well as help solve the education & health problems faced by many in rural India.
Food From The Heart
Agrocorp conducted a food donation drive in the month of June. This was done in collaboration with Food From the Heart, an NGO that serves households with low income – from elderly who live alone to young families with children.
We were proud contributors of over 30 cartons of food.
The Open House Event organized by Food From the Heart was a huge success!
Project Smile
Marking Project Smile’s 25th year, Agrocorp supported the concert “Mystique 7” by the Singapore Indian Orchestra and Choir at the Victoria Theater. The proceeds went towards helping disadvantaged women.
Project Smile
Agrocorp is proud to be a corporate sponsor for Project Smile a women’s empowerment organisation specially catering to providing life skills to ladies from disadvantaged backgrounds. Friday night at their annual gala dinner and awards function, our director Mrs Akila Iyengar was recognised for her patronage of the organisation as well as her mentorship and support. The event was graced by the Minister of Health Mr Ong Ye Kung and featured a number of performances by the ladies as well as an auction of works of art produced by them. The dinner raised close to 150k sgd all of which will go towards strengthening the organisation and its vital programs.
We are proud to continue our support and appreciate the amazing work of PS volunteers in making a difference to the lives of the Women Beneficiaries and empower them with skills to take on life challenges with confidence.

COVID activities
Thanks to the generosity of agrocorp staff all over the world, we have been able to raise over 26k USD after the 2:1 matching. With the money collected and the 2:1 matching by agrocorp, we sponsored the cost of 3 oxygen concentrators for the Virudhunagar General Hospital in Virudhunagar and 1 ventilator for the VHS hospital in Chennai, both in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. These purchases were facilitated by Hunger Collective which is an NGO that Agrocorp knows well and is part of our annual CSR program and both hospitals are nonprofit entities that cater mainly to low income patients. We are glad that we were able to help save some lives during these testing times contribute to the recovery of these patients from Covid.
Community Engagement
Agrocorp is proud to be involved in the NTU International Trading Case Competition by NTU Centre of Excellence International Trading and the NTU International Trading Club. There were 8 exceptional presentations on decarbonization solutions for agriculture, metals, and oil and gas industries. As judges, we were blown away by the research and presentation skills of the participants who were all from multi-disciplinary backgrounds. The future is truly bright for our industry.
