Our journey at #COP16Riyadh is in full swing, marked by valuable participation and impactful dialogue! Yesterday, Hanane Mourchid, our Chief Sustainability & Innovation Officer shared her expertise in two pivotal discussions: 🟢 Unlocking Co-benefits for #Soil, #Water, and #Farmer Resilience In this session organized by World Economic Forum, we delved into the transformative power of regenerative agriculture to restore degraded lands and enhance farmer resilience. Hanane emphasized: “Empowering farmers with the right tools to improve #soilhealth is critical in fighting desertification. At OCP, we champion multi-stakeholder collaboration, providing farmers with access not only to affordable plant nutrition solutions, but also to financial and insurance support, training, and market reach. We customize our fertilizers to the specific need of their soils and crops, thereby ensuring the optimal use of #nutrients both to maximize yields and to foster the long-term health of the soil.” 🟢 Innovation in Green Food and Water: The Middle East, China, and Emerging Markets In this panel hosted by World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we explored green transitions in #food and #water systems. Hanane’s keynote speech highlighted: “In the face of intensifying droughts, integrating water and energy plans is essential to build resilience. At OCP, we have adopted an integrated approach to secure green water supplies not only for our own facilities, but also to meet the needs of our local communities, by providing them with drinkable water, using #cleanenergy.” At OCP Group, we are dedicated to driving collaboration and #innovation for a #sustainablefuture. #COP16Riyadh #OurLandOurFuture

Day 2⃣ at #COP16Riyadh ! At today’s side event, "Agroforestry for Sustainable Land Restoration," organized by OCP Foundation, discussions centered on scaling agroforestry as a powerful tool to combat desertification and restore degraded landscapes. As Hassina Moukhariq, Director of International Development at #OCPFoundation, shared: “We need more pilot projects where corporations and governments can collaborate to share experiences and provide support.

Collaboration and innovative solutions are key to building resilience and sustainable ecosystems.” The panel featured: 🟢 Colonel Gora Diop, Director of the Great Green Wall initiative, ASERGMV, Senegal 🟢 Tillem Burlace, Regional Lead (Africa/Europe), 1t.org - World Economic Forum 🟢 Diane Holdorf, Vice President, Pathways, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development 🟢 Marina Negrisoli, Sustainability Director, Suzano Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful discussion. #Agroforestry #SustainableLandManagement #COP16

📍#COP16Riyadh Today marked the first day of OCP Group’s participation in #UNCCDCOP16 in Riyadh! Naoufal Mahdar, SVP Climate Action & Decarbonisation, featured in the "Land Degradation Neutrality: Business Risks and Opportunities" panel organized by the World Economic Forum, stated: "#OCPGroup combats land degradation by advancing sustainable farming practices, carbon farming, the 4Rs, and green plant nutrition, supported by its innovation ecosystem, green energy investments, and carbon sequestration programs." He also discussed OCP’s commitment to decarbonization and renewable energy, including plans to produce 5 GW of clean energy by 2027, and investments in innovation ecosystems to bridge gaps in land restoration technology. Imane Aboulfeth, Sustainability External Engagement Lead, speaking at the Public-Private Dialogue organized by the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development and Ambition Loop, emphasized: “OCP Group places multistakeholder collaboration at the heart of its strategy deployment.

More contributions from the Group will follow as we remain dedicated to advancing sustainable land management and building resilience. #UNCCDCOP16 #LandRestoration #OurLandOurFuture

Did you know that 95% of our food supply relies on healthy soils, yet nearly a third of agricultural land is degraded? As we face increasing pressure on #FoodSystems, enhancing soil health through effective nutrient management based on customized plant nutrition solutions is crucial. Healthy soils are vital for #FoodSecurity and climate goals, supporting biodiversity and productivity. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has called soil “the foundation for the future.” 🌍 The 2024 African Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit committed to regenerating soils and tripling fertilizer production by 2034. #SoilHealth and plant nutrition solutions use can rejuvenate soils, close yield gaps, and increase soil fertility—a triple win for farmers. Farmers in #Africa should not be the only ones to bear the responsibility for improving soil health. It is important that programs that support agriculture must also prioritize soil health initiatives and ensure there is financing in place to support these programmes.
