Management Approach
The strategic management of sustainability is shared among numerous corporate groups: EHS&S, Human Resources, Corporate Relations, Investor Relations and Legal, among others.
Commitments
Targets
One of our management tools is to make commitments to ourselves and to our stakeholders. Once we make commitments, we develop plans to achieve them, and track our performance to ensure progress is made. Our internal targets address safety, employee development, and project implementation, among other priorities. Here’s how we’re progressing on our public sustainability targets:
| Priority | Target | 2011 Performance | Progress | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse Gas Emissions | Reduce North American Wholesale production emissions intensity 10 percent by 2020 over 2005 baseline | 0.41 tonnes CO2e per tonne of net production | Met target Reduced 23 percent since 2005 |
Target was met due to a number of activities, primarily moving production from less to more carbon-efficient facilities We are currently considering an updated target. |
| Community Investments | Donate $7 million per year by 2015 | $6.7 million donated | On target | We should meet this target by the end of 2013 |
UN Global Compact
Agrium became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact in April 2008. This global network is an ideal avenue for sharing and learning about best practices, and for continuing to engage in open dialogue with our stakeholders. Global Compact participants are expected to share with their stakeholders their progress in aligning business practices with the 10 Global Compact principles. The link below is to a table which inicates where we disclose our activities that address the 10 principles.
