Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Bioceres Crop Solutions is recognized for its HB4® drought-tolerant wheat, which the FDA deemed safe and reportedly reduces water and carbon footprints by ~5% and ~30% respectively. A 6% stake in Moolec Science supports animal-free food solutions, including "Piggy Sooy" soybeans with pork protein. Bioceres reduced Scope 2 emissions by 33.7% via 100% renewable energy at some facilities, and a subsidiary achieved TRUE Gold zero-waste certification (over 93% diversion). However, critics note continued production of conventional herbicides and insecticides. FY2023 Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 8,187 tonnes CO2e, an increase from FY2022, with Scope 3 data lacking. An anti-bribery policy and 57.1% independent board members support governance.
