Our Approach

Mosaic’s Environmental, Social, and Governance PerformanceOUR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS, OR ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) PERFORMANCE EFFORTS, ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO OUR CORPORATE STRATEGY AND MISSION

Mining and fertilizer production require resource extraction, consumption of materials, generation of emissions in operations and water use. These activities are all necessary to fulfilling our mission to help the world grow the food it needs. From mine to market, we are working to minimize our impacts and maximize the value we deliver to diverse stakeholders around the globe. Our journey is ongoing, and we are continually evaluating what it means to be a good employer, supplier, neighbor and value creator.

We employ this strategy as a way to promote good stewardship of the natural, human and social resources we rely upon; mitigate risks; leverage opportunities; and solidify our position as an industry leader. Our work is prioritized in four focus areas and our 2025 ESG Performance Targets drive progress on the issues that are most important to Mosaic and our diverse stakeholders.

Environment

Respect for the EnvironmentREDUCING OUR IMPACTS IS A PRIORITY

Mining and fertilizer manufacturing are intensive endeavors. Resource extraction, consumption of materials, generation of emissions in operations and water use are all necessary to fulfilling our mission of helping the world grow the food it needs. We know that respect for the environment, and those who rely on it, is essential to the sustainability of our business—and we are committing significant resources to reducing our impacts and improving our use of shared resources.

Here’s a glimpse into the environmental issues most important to us and what we’re doing to reduce our impacts.

THIS MATTERS TO US BECAUSE:

Water is an essential input in our operations and across the agricultural value chain. It is also a critical resource for society, including the communities and ecosystems in which we operate.

HOW WE ARE MANAGING THIS PRIORITY:

Reducing companywide freshwater use
Minimizing tailings management area storage and phosphogypsum pond water inventories
Maintaining the quality of the water we use in the communities where we operate
Promoting agricultural best practices and 4R Nutrient Stewardship to minimize runoff of fertilizers into waterways
Partnering with organizations that address habitat conservation, nutrient stewardship and watershed restoration
