Syngenta Group Named Top Ag Employer for 9th Consecutive Year in Science Magazine's 2025 Ranking

For the ninth year running, scientists and agricultural professionals have placed Syngenta Group atop the global industry in Science magazine's prestigious 2025 Science Careers Top Employers Survey. The Basel-based agri-tech giant continues to set the standard for workplace excellence in scientific research and agricultural innovation.

"This recognition reflects the passion and dedication of our people worldwide," said Syngenta Group CEO Erik Fyrwald. "Creating an environment where scientific talent can thrive is essential to addressing the world's most pressing food security challenges."

The annual survey evaluates companies based on career development opportunities, work environment, and compensation packages. Syngenta's consistent top performance demonstrates its commitment to nurturing scientific careers in agriculture, from molecular biology to field research.

"What makes this achievement particularly meaningful is its consistency," noted Dr. Lena Chen, Chief Science Officer at Syngenta. "It shows we're not just good at attracting talent, but at creating lasting careers where scientists can see the real-world impact of their work."

The ranking comes at a pivotal time for the agricultural industry, as climate change and population growth intensify demand for sustainable farming solutions. Syngenta's investment in research and development—particularly in biologicals and digital farming tools—has positioned it as an innovation hub for the sector.

As the company celebrates this milestone, it continues to expand its global footprint, with new research facilities opening in Asia and Africa. The recognition serves as both validation of current practices and motivation for future growth in agricultural science.
