The International Organization World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) ranked the OCP Group in fourth place worldwide, among 350 companies, recognizing its performance in food and agriculture.
OCP Group ranked first in the Agriculture sector, thanks to its long-term goals to reduce greenhouse gases and water consumption.
The Moroccan group’s ranking comes as a result of its reliance on a strategy that strengthened its position as one of the most sustainable producers of fertilizers in the world and thus meets the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN.
OCP Group launched as well a circular economy program within the “Sustainability Platform”, aiming to create a green dynamism and to cover 100 percent of water needs through non-conventional water sources by 2030.
The international organization recognized OCP efforts in terms of leadership and social inclusion throughout its programs, such as Al Muthmar and Agriboosters, aiming to improve productivity, access to farmers’ markets, and provide integrated solutions.
The WBA acts as an independent body that brings together global, regional, and local institutions in order to develop standards and support the Sustainable Development Goals.
The benchmark’s aim is to stimulate the most influential food and agriculture companies to apply sustainable business practices throughout their operations as well as use their influence to encourage value chain partners to do the same, according to the World Benchmarking alliance’s website.
It also ranks companies by evaluating the food value chain, according to indicators related to governance, strategy, environment, nutrition, and social inclusion.
In 2019, the OCP Group joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), an international association bringing together more than 200 forward-thinking multinationals aiming for the achievement of the 17 goals of sustainable development.
