Nutrien is committed to reducing its climate impact, with a stated target to achieve at least a 30% intensity reduction in GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) per tonne of product produced, using 2018 as a baseline year, by 2030. This target covers 100% of Nutrien's operations, including ammonia, potash, and phosphate production. The company has also reported intensity figures for specific products, such as Potash GHG intensity – Scope 1 at 40 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020, and company-wide Scope 1 GHG intensity at 520 kg CO2e per tonne in the same year. Nitrogen operations had a Scope 1 GHG intensity of 1,450 kg CO2e per tonne, and Phosphate operations had a Scope 1 GHG intensity of 430 kg CO2e per tonne in 2019.
