Priorities
Sustainable Production
Fertilizers are fundamental to agriculture and our challenge is to feed the world sustainably. Sustainable fertilizer production is key to increasing our industry’s energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.
Priorities
Climate Change
We work across the agriculture value chain to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase sequestration of carbon in soil.
Priorities
Food Security
Fertilizers are used across the globe to support sustainable agricultural production, and it is estimated that half the food we eat is produced thanks to mineral fertilizers.
What are fertilizers?
