The idea of Growing Together underpins our entire business. We strive for continual growth, and in order to achieve this objective, we need to have stakeholders who are aligned with, and energized by, this aim. Our vision, and ultimately our success are built on the strength of this platform.

We are committed to growing each of these stakeholders:

• Our Employees
• Our Customers & Supplier Partnerships
• Our Responsibility for the Environment
• The Communities in which we do Business
• Our Shareholders

Growing our Employees

Our employees are paramount to our success. We are committed to providing them with opportunities to learn new skills, to gain new experiences and to pursue new career paths or jobs within the organization.

Growing our Partnerships with our Customers & Suppliers

Our customers and suppliers are critical partners in our business. Our suppliers play an essential role in our growth and our business; whether they are providing us with logistical services, raw materials to run our plants, or finished goods for our purchase-for-resale business. Our customers are critical to the long-term success of our Company. It is with their support that we are able to continue toward our goal of feeding the world.

Growing our Responsibility for the Environment

Agrium Wholesale is committed to operating in a manner that minimizes impact on the environment. It is vitally important that we ensure that we have a sustainable business; one that minimizes its impact on the communities in which we operate, the customers that buy our products, and our employees. We set rigorous standards and expectations for all employees within Agrium Wholesale. We measure ourselves against those standards, hold ourselves accountable and continually look for opportunities for improvement.

Growing our Communities

We as a company believe that we have a responsibility as a corporate citizen to be a part of the communities in which we operate. It is essential for us to create partnerships where we live and work. We actively support youth, culture, health and environmental opportunities that enrich our communities both locally and globally. By being good neighbours, we form growing and vibrant communities. We are not there simply as a tenant, but as a long-term resident.

Growing for our Shareholders

Our shareholders must be rewarded for their investment in Agrium. Growth is the cornerstone of shareholder expectation. A thriving and dynamic company is attractive to any investor. We continue to add value to both new and existing operations, resulting in healthy earnings, and, by extension, share price.
