We aim to enhance the health, safety, environmental and social benefits of our products and manage them from product development and manufacturing through to distribution, sales and use. Product stewardship is a component of our operational processes and an expectation of our customers, suppliers, governments, regulators, investors, public interest groups, and employees.
We have developed product profiles for more than 200 fertilizer products, additives and unique components used in our North American and European upstream manufacturing business.
Our approach
Our Product Stewardship team collaborates with our procurement, product innovation and operational teams, along with industry peers, organizations and other stakeholders to share practices and promote continuous improvement in our operations. We have policies to guide ingredient and finished product sourcing decisions and are developing procedures to pre-screen potential suppliers to ensure they align with Nutrien’s values.
Product stewardship starts in the early stages of product development and carries across the entire product life cycle, including:
Product development and manufacturing
Procurement
Storage and distribution
End-use application
