Nutrien has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for at least a 30% reduction in GHG emissions intensity (Scope 1 and 2) per tonne of product produced by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. This target is part of their broader sustainability strategy, which encompasses their Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potash operations. The company has reaffirmed this commitment in multiple reports, including their 2023 Annual Report. Nutrien's emissions data is self-reported and does not include Scope 3 emissions, which are often significant in the agricultural production sector. The company has not committed to a net-zero target as of now, indicating a focus on intensity reduction rather than absolute emissions reductions. Overall, Nutrien's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to managing their carbon footprint while addressing the challenges of sustainable agricultural production.
