Nutrien's Commitment

Nutrien has a decades-long track record working with Indigenous Peoples and communities in proximity to our potash operations in Canada. We develop relationships based on mutual respect and trust, a shared understanding of issues, and collaborative problem-solving. In Canada, our efforts are in alignment with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #92 for the corporate sector in Canada.

We have begun expanding this proven approach beyond our potash operations, actively building relationships in other territories in Canada.

We value the perspectives shared with us because we care about the lives and communities we affect. We listen carefully and engage early, often and authentically.

Our Model

We understand we have a responsibility to leverage the many opportunities available to us as a company of our size and scope. Our relationship-based approach is guided by our purpose, Feeding the Future, which we will achieve through collaboration with others. We lead with our core values of safety, inclusion, integrity and results in engaging our entire value chain to make meaningful impact.

There are six interdependent areas in which we see opportunities to use our influence, and that make up the core of our model. Addressing these areas collectively results in exponential impact in service of economic reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and communities.
