At PotashCorp, we recognize our responsibility to govern the company in the interest of all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers and the communities where we do business.

Ensuring we meet our obligations requires commitment, leadership from our Board of Directors and a clear set of governance principles that define roles and relationships among management, boards and stakeholders.

These principles, outlined in detail in the pages that follow, address key issues such as:

• director independence and integrity
• Board function, composition and committee
• evaluation of CEO performance and succession planning
• communication from and with shareholders, and more

By developing and implementing leading-practice corporate governance principles, we enhance our accountability and further protect the interests of the stakeholders who are essential to our success.
