Environmental Stewardship
We are continually working to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. Complying with state and federal environmental regulations is just a beginning. Environmental considerations are a part of all our business decisions.

Our environmental protection begins with the safety of our employees. Everyone benefits from having a safe workplace, which comes from careful attention to safe operating procedures, emergency preparedness and preventative maintenance. These practices reduce the potential for plant upsets which could impact the environment.

Best Management Practices

Best Management Practices are the fertilization, water usage and crop management activities that efficiently maintain or increase crop yield or quality. Getting the maximum value for every dollar spent on crop production is more important today than even before.  The proper use of Agrium fertilizers fits well into Best Management Practices. The fertilizers produced at the Kennewick plant are an effective aid in helping growers achieve maximum efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

Impact on Local Economy
Agrium employees live and work in the Kennewick area, and are deeply involved in activities that enrich the lives of all its citizens. They coach hockey, soccer, football, basketball and Little League baseball. Many serve in leadership roles in organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs, Junior Achievement, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

Kennewick Fertilizer Operations is a strong supporter of the United Way. Our donations are matched dollar for dollar by our corporate head office. And we are active volunteers on business and professional organizations as well as government boards and commissions.
