Pierre Brondeau, chairman, chief executive officer and president of FMC Corporation, announced in 2026 that the company would pursue a strategic review exploring options including a possible sale of the company. In a February 2026 investor call, Brondeau described the process as a "normal process" conducted with the board, presenting a base business plan that includes a $1 billion debt reduction and a target of $700 million in EBITDA. He stated that the board discussed whether operating under different ownership could benefit shareholders and the portfolio's performance, and that the company would pursue two parallel paths: the base plan, which includes licensing, asset sales, and the sale of its India business, and a full sale of the company. Brondeau said he would not close any option beneficial to shareholders, though he identified these two as the highest-probability outcomes. In earlier appearances, Brondeau discussed FMC's transformation and sustainability efforts. At a 2019 conference, he reflected on the company's shift from multiple businesses to a focused agricultural sciences portfolio, noting that FMC's enterprise valuation had multiplied significantly over a decade and that the company had sold its health and nutrition business to fund that transition. He also spoke about the challenges of competing with larger agricultural companies and the need to focus on technology development. In a 2013 interview, Brondeau described global hunger as a serious emergency requiring cooperation between governments, the private sector, and NGOs, and cited FMC's participation in a Philadelphia hunger relief program. He also introduced FMC's 2013 sustainability report, which highlighted progress in safety, innovation, resource management, and community engagement.
