Nutrien Ag Solutions strives to meaningfully contribute to the communities globally and locally where we operate. We collaborate with community partners who share our values and approach. Please see the Nutrien Community Relations Position for more information on Nutrien’s Community Relations strategy and approach.
Driven by our sustainability strategy, and inspired by our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, Nutrien Ag Solutions supports community initiatives that are aligned with our three Focus Areas: Sustainable Agriculture, Environmental Footprint and Diversity and Inclusive Growth.
In the context of community investment, we further define these Focus Areas as:
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Solutions
- Building awareness of agriculture’s contributions to the economy and society;
- Sustainable food production, research or education;
- Fostering innovation in agriculture;
- Relating to food security or the root causes of hunger and poverty;
- Nutrition.
Additionally, Nutrien Ag Solutions believes that for agriculture to be truly sustainable, it must be safe for growers and their families. As such, this focus area includes initiatives that support rural health and safety.
Environmental Stewardship
- Facilitating actions that promote ecosystem health;
- Helping protect the quality of the air, water and soil;
- Supporting community adaptation and resilience as it relates to the environment;
- Providing education, training or a deeper understanding of environmental topics.
Diversity and Inclusion
Nutrien Ag Solutions aims to be an agent of positive social change and decrease inequalities across our company, value chain and communities.
- Building more inclusive communities;
- Developing careers and opportunities for women in non-traditional roles;
- Addressing the gaps historically under-represented populations in the local area face;
- Supporting meaningful engagement for military veterans;
- Addressing the gaps Indigenous people face, including supporting reconciliation efforts.
Our presence in the communities where we have operations, offices or retail branches is also supported by employee volunteerism, stakeholder engagement, emergency relief efforts and our award-winning sustainable agriculture education programs.
