performance summary
 |
Agrium is committed to measuring and reporting our sustainability performance in a transparent manner. Transparency not only holds us accountable to our stakeholders, it also motivates us to improve our performance.
We have left a blank in the table when reliable data for performance indicators are not available, when the indicator was not tracked or when calculation methodologies for different years vary considerably. We have included footnotes to provide clarity on definitions, boundary conditions and other explanations. |
