Sustainability

We extract raw materials responsibly – today and for future generations

We develop and implement measures to reduce environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions in our business processes. These include ESTA — the dry processing of crude salts developed by us, as well as the development of explosives aimed to reducing specific emissions, and the recovery of nutrients from production water. We have clear sustainability goals. Occupational health and safety are integral components of our corporate management approach. Our Research & Development focus, among other things, on the use of natural resources and the further development of production processes.

How we establish sustainability

K+S considers the impacts of its business activities towards people, the environment, communities and the economy in the regions in which it operates. The corporate strategy takes into account long-term economic, environmental and social developments. The K+S sustainability program is an integral part of this.

By defining concrete goals and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs), we regularly review the current state and make our progress measurable.

We have set ourselves targets in the three pillars of sustainability: Social Responsibility, Environment & Resources, and Governance. We take ecological, social and economic aspects into account in our strategic decisions.
