(CSRwire) Saskatoon, Saskatchewan -- Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc.
(PotashCorp) today began distribution of its newly published
Sustainability Report - Beyond the Boardroom - which documents the
company's economic, social and environmental performance in 2004.
This report builds on PotashCorp's 2003 effort, which was judged the best
sustainability report in Canada by the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants.
This third report, published annually, firmly establishes PotashCorp's
commitment to developing and implementing sustainable business practices
which it views as critical to its long-term success.
"Sustainability is good business. Therefore, our commitment to
sustainability guides every interaction we have with our stakeholders,"
said President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Doyle. "This year's
reporting effort demonstrates dramatic progress toward integrating this
discipline throughout our organization and aligning our value system with
sustainable performance measures."
Among the report's highlights:
Steps that were taken to achieve a record safety performance in
2004.
More in-depth Direct Green House Gas emissions information.
An expanded section providing performance data for each of
PotashCorp's production sites.
More detail on energy consumption, water use and land reclamation.
Extensive comments from stakeholders about PotashCorp's values,
performance and long-term commitment to issues important to them and other
stakeholder groups.
The report was prepared using guidelines established by the United Nations
sanctioned Global Reporting Initiative. Additional copies of the document
can be ordered from PotashCorp's U.S. Administrative Headquarters in
Northbrook, Illinois or viewed online at http://www.potashcorp.com/sustainability/reports/.
