The burgeoning global demand for higher crop yields has given agrochemical companies the impetus to improve their product quality and efficiency, guaranteeing plentiful crops. In parallel, growing concerns regarding human activities' environmental impact have made sustainability increasingly important. Finchimica seamlessly integrates these imperatives, delivering products and solutions renowned for their exceptional quality while leaving a minimal ecological impact.

“We believe in a responsible approach, blending innovative solutions and advanced technologies with low impact on the environment and biodiversity, to meet the global demand for quality food,” says Alessandra Longoni, commercial and business development director of Finchimica.

The firm distinguishes itself by its 360-degree sustainability approach, focusing on upstream and downstream supply chains— from sourcing of materials to final production. The company’s sustainability agenda is not only restricted to its products and their environmental effects but also to maintaining sustainability standards during the production process. The firm monitors the performance of its manufacturing plant to guarantee the lowest possible gas emissions and wastewater discharge. Finchimica’s partnership with Hydrochem Italia (Esseco Group) also enables it to use renewable energy sources for utilising chlorine from alkalis production, creating efficient energy circularity.

The company further offers a robust catalogue of active ingredients for crop protection, which include herbicides as DNA. Finchimica also develops and registers bio-solutions in the direction of integrated pest management (IPM) sustainability according to the Farm to Fork European Program.

The agrochemicals sector's competitiveness stems from the coexistence of domestic and foreign players, presenting a significant challenge in securing a prominent position. Navigating the European authorisation process can also be a daunting task when introducing promising new products to the market. Finchimica addresses this by adopting a proactive strategy that entails understanding the market dynamics to predict future scenarios and forging close relationships with customers and partners.

Finchimica strongly believes in cooperation and collaboration, as exemplified by its partnerships with multiple organisations, spanning from major multinational R&D corporations to smaller pan-European and local enterprises. By sharing its vision for a bio-rational future with its partners, it aims to embark on a collaborative journey towards sustainability. The progress made by its partners regarding increasing market penetration, developing a positive approach and envisioning the future together demonstrates the value of Finchimica’s partnership.

The company is also known for its distinctive multiculturalism and inclusion policy. Similarly, around 50 per cent of managerial positions are occupied by women and the team also includes young science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates. Today, Finchimica has established itself as a formidable manufacturer and agrochemical supplier. Its success is attributable not only to its high-standard products but also owing to its commitment to contribute to a sustainable future of agricultural defence.
