We prohibit anti-competitive behavior with competitors, customers and other third parties. Our Competition Law Policy outlines Nutrien’s strict expectations regarding fair competition and compliance with all antitrust and competition laws applicable to our operations.

Integrity program

Nutrien’s integrity program provides the knowledge and tools for all employees to achieve business results the right way - with integrity. Our program has four pillars: risk intelligence, learning, speaking up, and investigations.

Risk intelligence

Nutrien’s risk intelligence activities include assessment and mitigation tools that are available to employees on a risk basis considering their specific role and location. These tools include trade sanctions due diligence, customer and supplier reputation due diligence, and our ERM program.

Learning

All employees, directors and officers complete mandatory annual Code of Conduct training. We also provide periodic refresher training and communications on various compliance topics. This equips our employees with the necessary information and tools to recognize and respond to any potential risks.

At the start of meetings, we share integrity moments featuring real-life examples of doing the right thing. This practice helps keep integrity at the forefront of our daily activities.​​‌‍‌​‌‌

Speaking up

One of the most important aspects of integrity is to speak up, ask questions and report concerns about situations that may violate Nutrien’s Code of Conduct, an associated policy or the law.

Employees have several ways to speak up, including in person, email, instant messaging, or direct phone calls. Nutrien also provides an externally administered Integrity Helpline for employees and anyone outside Nutrien to ask questions and report integrity concerns.

Nutrien has zero tolerance for any retaliation against someone who raises a concern or otherwise participates in the investigation process in good faith.

Investigations

We strive to maintain a speaking up culture where all concerns related to the Code of Conduct will be investigated under the oversight of the Integrity Group. All questions and concerns are taken seriously and handled promptly, confidentially and professionally, in accordance with our compliance investigation principles.
