Nutrien's emissions data indicates a focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with no current commitments to net-zero emissions or specific reduction targets. The company has removed its near-term reduction targets and has not set long-term targets as of now. Nutrien operates within the agricultural production sector and is headquartered in Canada. The company has reported GHG intensity metrics, such as 480 kg CO2e per tonne for Scope 1 emissions in 2023, reflecting its ongoing efforts to monitor and manage its carbon footprint. However, without formal reduction commitments, Nutrien's climate strategy remains under scrutiny as the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability and emissions reductions.
