Goal: No damage to the environment.
1. Develop targets for GHG emissions.		The company set a target to reduce GHG emissions per tonne of product by 10 percent by the end of 2012 to 1.98 tonnes GHG/tonne of product. More details are given in the Section Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
2. Develop five-year targets for improvements in energy efficiency.		The company decided to set a five-year target for GHG instead. It did set a one-year target for energy efficiency, which is to remain the same or improve energy efficiency compared to 2007.
3. Improve energy efficiency in Trinidad by 3 percent from 2006 level.		Trinidad energy efficiency improved by 2 percent from 2006 levels.
4. Continue research and evaluation of salt-tolerant vegetative cover for use on marginally saline soils near potash sites to protect the ground from wind and water erosion.		PotashCorp, as part of the Saskatchewan Potash Producers Association, continues to conduct research into this area.
5. Reduce reportable releases and permit excursions by 10 percent from 2006 levels.		Total reportable releases and permit excursions remained unchanged.
