OREANDA-NEWS. May 21, 2012. Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) today released the results of its 2011 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) performance on its company website. The results reflect the company's Economic, Environmental, and Social performance against measures set forth in GRI's updated G3.1 framework. 

Although the company has reported on its sustainability performance using the GRI framework since 2002, this is the first year the GRI has been presented alongside the integrated Online Annual Report as a part of the company's online annual reporting framework. PotashCorp will not issue a standalone sustainability report for 2011.

PotashCorp chose to adopt GRI's updated G3.1 framework – which puts greater emphasis on community impacts, human rights and gender equality than previous editions – as part of the company’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

PotashCorp's 2011 GRI performance, as well as an integrated discussion of company goals and strategies, can be viewed at www.potashcorp.com/annual_reports/2011/gri.

Watch for expanded sustainability coverage on our website coming soon.
