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?

Fertilizers are food for plants: they provide nutrients for plants to grow and thrive. It is estimated that half the food we eat is produced thanks to mineral fertilizers.
