PotashCorp Releases First Sustainability Report By North American Fertilizer Producer
(CSRwire) SASKATOON, SASKATCHUWAN - Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc.
(PotashCorp) today began distribution of its newly published
Sustainability Report – Conducting Today’s Business With
Tomorrow In Mind. The document is the first sustainability report produced
by a North American fertilizer company and addresses the Company’s
current economic, social and environmental performance. It also identifies
targets for improvement, defines PotashCorp’s “Core
Values” and reports on measures taken to ensure transparency in all
areas of business and social conduct.
The 92-page report was prepared using guidelines established by the United
Nations sanctioned Global Reporting Initiative, and independent
organization that has set the international standards for sustainability
reporting. The book can be viewed online at www.potashcorp.com.
“The long-term future of our company – of any company –
is directly affected by the relationships we have with our employees,
communities, customers, investors, suppliers and host governments,”
said PotashCorp President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Doyle.
“We believe that trust and transparency are the foundations that
give those relationships strength. This report offers our stakeholders
– and even our critics – a full view of our performance in
areas that are important to all of us.”
The report is part of PotashCorp’s best-practice approach to
business. Although this level of reporting is not required, the Company
believes that providing information and measuring performance are the best
routes to success and future growth. The report will be updated
annually.
PotashCorp is the world’s largest fertilizer enterprise producing
the three primary plant nutrients and a leading supplier to three distinct
market categories: agriculture, with the largest capacity in the world in
potash, fourth largest in phosphate and third largest in nitrogen; animal
nutrition, with the world’s largest capacity in phosphate feed
ingredients; and industrial chemicals, as the largest global producer of
industrial nitrogen products and one of only three North American
suppliers of industrial phosphates.
