Investor Day 2026 summary
16 Mar, 2026Strategic transformation, integration, and growth initiatives
Accelerated transformation since 2019 has created a more agile, disciplined, and resilient organization, focusing on strengthening the core, expanding reach, and delivering differentiated solutions across food, feed, and fuel markets.
The integration with Viterra, completed in July 2025, expanded geographic reach, crop diversity, and processing capabilities, creating an unmatched global network and enhancing origination, processing, and distribution.
Portfolio optimization since 2019 unlocked over $4 billion through divestitures, with proceeds reinvested in core capabilities and transformative M&A, resulting in stronger cash generation and over $5 billion returned to shareholders.
Sustainability is embedded in strategy, with achievements like 100% soy traceability in Brazil's Cerrado, a 21% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions versus 2020, science-based climate targets, and industry-leading non-deforestation policies.
Operational improvements include a 53% reduction in lost time injuries and a 7% decrease in processing downtime.
Financial guidance, performance, and capital allocation
Updated mid-cycle EPS baseline is set to exceed $15 by 2030, up from $8.50 in 2022, driven by project pipeline execution, Viterra synergies, disciplined capital deployment, and share repurchases.
At a $13 run-rate mid-cycle baseline, the company expects to generate $3.5 billion in adjusted funds from operations annually, with $2.7 billion available for allocation after sustaining CapEx.
Capital allocation priorities include maintaining a strong balance sheet (targeting 2x–2.5x leverage), returning at least 50% of discretionary cash flow to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, and focusing growth CapEx on efficiency and bolt-on investments.
Announced a new $3 billion share repurchase program and maintains a conservative financial approach, with surplus debt capacity expected by 2030 and a targeted 12.5% return on invested capital at the $13 baseline.
Synergy targets from the Viterra integration have increased, with $350 million in operational cost synergies and $250–$300 million in commercial synergies identified, with further upside possible.
Business model, operational excellence, and technology
The unique value chain model integrates origination, processing, refining, shipping, and distribution, enabling end-to-end visibility, flexibility, and margin capture.
The global footprint, enhanced by Viterra, supports direct origination from over 100,000 farmers and aims to exceed 65% direct origination by 2030, positioning the company as a leader in soy, softseeds, and macro feed ingredients.
Investments in technology and data analytics, including proprietary AI and machine learning tools, drive operational efficiencies, yield improvements, and faster decision-making.
The Bunge Production System codifies best practices for industrial operations, aiming for all facilities to reach high productivity and safety standards.
Partnerships and innovation in low-carbon feedstocks, novel seeds, and regenerative agriculture expand leadership in sustainable solutions for food, feed, and fuel markets.
