PotashCorp's investor relations initiatives have gained national and international attention, as the company was recently honored by IR Magazine Canada and the Web Marketing Association's Interactive Investor Relations Awards.
PotashCorp's 2005 annual report, Enriching Our World, has been named the best in Canada by IR Magazine, which surveyed 250 investment professionals to select the winner. At the awards banquet, PotashCorp's report was described as "thorough, outlining industry trends with historical data and disclosure. Everything about it speaks professionalism and quality and it is consistently reliable."
"At PotashCorp, we view disclosure not only as a responsibility, but as an opportunity to enhance understanding of our company and our business," said Denita Stann, PotashCorp's Director, Investor Relations. "By revealing our strategies, our successes and even our shortcomings to stakeholders, we reduce uncertainty and gain long-term support. That helps us raise the reputation – and the value – of our company."
The Interactive IR Awards named PotashCorp’s website the top global IR website in the Base Metals and Mining category. Entries were judged by individual and institutional investors, financial advisors, the financial press, and interactive development and IR professionals.
"PotashCorp's website has become our communications hub," said Rhonda Speiss, PotashCorp's Manager, Public Relations. "We've made a strong effort to raise the bar on providing timely and detailed information for our stakeholders, and we're very pleased to be recognized for doing so."
In 2006, PotashCorp's investor relations program earned the Overall Award of Excellence from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for the third consecutive year.
