Our Core Values
We Operate with Integrity
Throughout our company, our employees are held to the highest standards of business conduct. We treat people fairly and communicate promptly, completely and accurately with all stakeholders.
Our Overriding Concern Is the Safety of People and the Environment
Our goal is simple: no harm to people, no accidents and no damage to the environment. Our commitment to safety and environmental stewardship is embedded in our culture and impacts all aspects of our operations, from the evaluation of our CEO's performance to our mine reclamation initiatives.
We Listen to All PotashCorp Stakeholders
By listening, we use what we learn to improve the company. We value our stakeholders' opinions and are diligent in collecting feedback on our performance. Through surveys and meetings with customers, employees, neighbors, community leaders, policy makers and investors, we listen and cultivate relationships that keep us engaged with and responsive to the people upon whom our success relies.
We Seek Continuous Improvement
As an industry and community leader, we proactively look for ways to improve how we do business. By evaluating and refining our practices at every level of our organization through initiatives like our Best Practices meetings, we build value for our company, increase our efficiency and foster an atmosphere of responsive innovation.
We Share What We Learn
Education is at the core of our business. Internally, we ensure that all employees and contractors are informed, well-trained, engaged and committed to our vision and values. Externally, we teach safety to our communities and offer programs to explain how our products benefit the world.
We Are Accessible, Accountable and Transparent
Through disclosure vehicles like our annual triple-bottom-line sustainability report and website, we ensure our accountability by publicly setting goals and objectives for our economic, environmental and social performance. We are accessible to all stakeholders, helping them understand the company's direction, values and progress.
