Syngenta Bangladesh Recognized as Innovation Leader of the Year 2025 by FICCI

Mr. Hedayet Ullah, Managing Director, and Mr. Mohammed Shahidul Islam, Director – Corporate Affairs & Sustainability, Syngenta Bangladesh Limited, received the “Innovation Leader of the Year 2025” award from FICCI for the GoGrow initiative.

Syngenta Bangladesh has been recognized as the “Innovation Leader of the Year 2025” by the Foreign Investors’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) under its Sustainability & Innovation Awards, which celebrate excellence in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices among member organizations.

The award honors Syngenta Bangladesh’s flagship sustainability initiative, “GoGrow: Enriching the Livelihood of Coastal Belt Farmers,” for its contribution to promoting climate-resilient agriculture and strengthening the livelihoods of farming communities in the country’s southern coastal belt.

The GoGrow initiative, implemented in Shyamnagar, Satkhira, addresses the challenges faced by smallholder farmers living in areas affected by rising salinity and erratic weather. By introducing saline-tolerant crop varieties, rainwater harvesting, and regenerative agricultural practices, the project has helped farmers to achieve better yields, improve household incomes, and rebuild sustainable livelihoods of farming communities. Through community-led training, knowledge sharing, and partnerships with government and research institutions, GoGrow has emerged as a model of inclusive, climate-smart agriculture, turning environmental challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.

This recognition reaffirms the company’s commitment to aligning innovation with sustainability. Syngenta Bangladesh continues to place farmers at the heart of its mission, where sustainability remains the cornerstone of every innovation.
