Mining Supporting Local and Global Communities 4,000+ reasons
To grow our world
In Nutrien’s first full year from the ground up. of operations, we generated $750 million* of new economic activity in Saskatchewan.
Candace Laing is one of more than 4,000 people in Saskatchewan employed by Nutrien. Our Vice President, Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations grew up on a farm near Swift Current and is building her career in Saskatoon as part of the world’s largest provider of agricultural solutions.
In 2018, we increased the number of positions at our corporate office by almost 30 percent and we’re the largest private-sector employer in Saskatchewan. And by investing more than $50 million in Nutrien Tower, we’re building a home for our future.
As Nutrien grows our global business, we’re creating more opportunities in Saskatchewan.
To see the stories behind the numbers, go to Nutrien.com/Saskatchewan.
* A research study by Ernst & Young (EY) measured the incremental impact of Nutrien’s operations, capital expenditures and investments in Saskatchewan in 2018. 3 T AbleSECTION OF CONTENTS 3 20 E C R K R PRING/SUMMER 2019 S WO Mining employees fo volunteer their time n 14 16 18 31 25 32 28 23 34 o i t a 12 i c fairs o f A ss A
