We are committed to respect for the rule of law, conducting our business with integrity and showing respect for human dignity and the rights
of the individual wherever we do business.
We demonstrate our respect for the natural environment through our goals of no harm to people, no accidents and no damage to the environment.
We will work to create mutual advantage in all our relationships so that people will trust us and want to do business with us.
The PotashCorp Code of Business Conduct was developed to commit to the public and our stakeholders our uncompromising integrity in every aspect of our efforts. We look for these same qualities in all our business partners.
We will comply with the law, rules and regulations in the countries
and communities in which we operate.
We will always compete vigorously and independently in the conduct
of our business.
PotashCorp will never offer, pay, solicit or accept bribes in any form,
either directly or indirectly.
We will hold no secret or unrecorded funds of money or assets.
We will never use company information that is not available to the public to make stock trades.
We will only give or accept gifts and entertainment that are for business purposes and are not material or frequent.
Business unit leaders will put into place rules covering the giving and acceptance

will never accept gifts or entertainment during the process of a competitive bid
or tender exercise.
We will not choose business partners to do things on our behalf that contravene these commitments.
We will not employ agents to carry out actions that conflict with these commitments. In joint operations, we will apply these commitments where we are operators; where we are not, we will seek to influence our partners such that the joint operation adopts similar commitments.

non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the company or its customers, if disclosed.
