~ A global call to action urging world leaders to place farmers at the heart of climate strategies

Microsite: Meet 20 farmers from around the world leading climate action in agriculture
DVC: Watch the campaign video

LONDON, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UPL, a global leader in sustainable agricultural solutions, today announced the launch of its global campaign ‘#AFarmerCan – The hero you don’t know you need’, ahead of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, taking place from 10-21 November 2025 in Belém, Brazil. The campaign celebrates farmers as climate heroes and calls on world leaders to recognize their pivotal role in building climate resilience.

UPL honours farmers leading climate action across the world with #AFarmerCan campaign

With a presence in over 140 countries, UPL works closely with smallholder farmers and large-scale commercial growers, empowering them with sustainable agricultural solutions that drive climate action and food security. Drawing on this experience, UPL has curated 20 inspiring farmer stories from around the world, showcasing how agriculture can advance greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, energy security, water conservation, soil health regeneration, and biodiversity protection – the five pillars guiding UPL’s engagement at COP30.

UPL’s #AFarmerCan campaign makes a compelling appeal: Policy must stand with farmers. Consumers must recognize and celebrate their strength, resilience, and innovation.

As part of its campaign advocacy, UPL is proposing a four-pillar incentive framework to strengthen farmer resilience:

• Pay: Reward farmers for adopting climate-smart practices.
• Protect: Offer farmer subsidies and insurance to guard against risks.
• Procure: Strengthen farmer access to public markets for certified sustainable produce.
• Promote: Scale digital tools, soil health data, and knowledge training for farmers.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Jai Shroff, Chairman & Group CEO, UPL, said: “With #AFarmerCan, we are amplifying a simple but urgent message: the future of climate resilience begins in the fields. Farmers are already leading the way – innovating, adapting, and regenerating. Yet their contributions remain under-recognized in global climate discourse. This campaign is our call to policymakers, institutions, and consumers to stand with farmers, empower them, and make them central to climate action.”

UPL is amplifying its message through a global 360° campaign across Brazil and key markets, blending high-impact outdoor branding with immersive digital engagement. In Belém, the campaign spans airport signage, 1,000+ branded taxis, and 200 buses featuring QR codes that unlock powerful first-hand stories from farmers. Complementing this are targeted digital campaigns, social media activations, and an evocative film showcasing farmers as climate heroes. The initiative also includes eco-friendly merchandise — T-shirts, tote bags, and water bottles.

UPL will be present in COP30’s Blue Zone — the official area organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for formal negotiations and national pavilions — serving carbon-smart coffee from Brazil’s Mió brand. By serving coffee that captures more CO₂ than it emits, UPL will offer delegates a tangible experience of how climate-smart farming can accelerate progress toward global climate goals. As part of this sponsorship, UPL has also secured rights to use the conference’s official branding.

UPL will showcase its Agrosphere at the AgriZone, an exhibition space organized by Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation) where UPL will host expert panels and debates based on the five pillars that guide UPL’s engagement at COP30. UPL will also participate in the Planeta Campo Forum and present a low methane rice case study from India.

Through ‘#AFarmerCan’, UPL reaffirms its commitment to shaping a global movement that celebrates farmers as climate heroes and stewards of a healthier planet.

New RECMA Diagnostics Report Reveals OMD “Remains More than Ever the Leader”

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the latest edition of the Network Diagnostics report from RECMA (Research Company Evaluating the Media Agency Industry), Omnicom Media Group agency OMD has been named the best performing global media network overall, marking the tenth consecutive edition in which OMD has topped the Diagnostics report.

Widely considered the most comprehensive report for analyzing media agency performance, the bi-annual RECMA Diagnostics report is based on the evaluation of approximately 700 agencies in 45 markets. Utilizing 19 KPIs to evaluate vitality and structure, the report offers an assessment index that goes beyond typical quantitative metrics such as new business wins or billings volume alone to also consider criteria such as client portfolio and relationship stability; digital, data & content resources; and homogeneity across geographies. Participating agencies are ranked both numerically by “quali-points” and by the following profiles: Dominant, High Profile, Very Good Profile, Good Profile, and Average Profile.

Pointing out the consistency of OMD’s performance, RECMA notes that the agency reached “its best performance” and remains “more than ever the leader” with a “significant lead” over its nearest competitors. Looking at the combined points earned across all 19 Diagnostic KPIs, OMD’s score indexes from 15% to 41% higher than the other agencies in the top 10.

The Dominant Leader
Additionally, OMD earned more Dominant rankings – the highest profile an agency can achieve – than any other agency. To earn this level, an agency must demonstrate consistency in its results and significantly outperform its competitors across the criteria that make up the diagnostic evaluation. In this edition of the report, only 52 agencies out of the 700 evaluated earned the dominant designation, with OMD standing out as the sole agency with designations in the double digits.

Concurrently, RECMA reported that OMD “naturally stands out as the most balanced agency” in terms of the consistency of its performance across the 45 markets studied, ranking Dominant or High Profile in 64% of all markets.

Commenting on OMD’s performance, CEO George Manas said, “We’re in a moment of marketing transformation unlike anything we’ve seen in decades. As the world’s largest media agency, OMD has not only the ambition but the responsibility to lead our clients and the industry through change: creating what’s next, together. This latest RECMA report reaffirms that OMD’s exceptional talent — powered by Omni, Omnicom’s advanced intelligence platform — is delivering on that responsibility in a way no other network can, enabling our clients, our people, and our industry to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.”

The RECMA Network Diagnostics Report marks the latest in a streak of accolades for OMD in 2025, including earning Media Network of the Year honors at Cannes for the second consecutive year; and being named Media Agency of the Year in multiple markets including the US, UK, Canada, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.

In the RECMA 2024 Overall Activity Volume (OAV) analysis that tracks billings volume for more than 800 agencies across 54 markets (published in July 2025), OMD was once again ranked #1 by volume, with close to $USD 35.6 billion in total billings – outperforming its nearest competitor by $4.4 billion – and YoY growth of +9.5 %.

ABOUT OMD

Recognition based on Shopware’s Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

SCHÖPPINGEN, Germany, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shopware, a leading open-source digital commerce platform provider, today announced it has been recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Shopware has been included among global providers evaluated by Gartner. The 2025 report assessed 19 digital commerce platforms worldwide.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant positions technology providers based on their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. For organizations assessing B2C and B2B commerce platforms, we feel it offers a structured view of the digital commerce market and key vendor capabilities.

Why this matters for merchants and partners

According to the Gartner definition, Visionaries understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules, but do not yet execute well. In our opinion, Shopware’s open and composable approach, combined with its AI-driven features, advanced integrations, and strong partner ecosystem, enables merchants and agencies to innovate independently, scale efficiently, and grow with flexibility.

“We are proud that Gartner has recognized Shopware as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce,” said Sebastian Hamann, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Shopware. “In our view, this recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, openness, and empowering businesses to succeed through flexibility and collaboration.”
