Investing with Purpose: Nutrien’s 2024 Community Impact at-a-Glance

In 2024, Nutrien deepened its impact in the communities where it operates—supporting more than 2,600 charities and non-profits globally and reaching over 17 million people through strategic community investments.

Our investments are guided by purpose and alignment: 79% of Nutrien’s $28 million in total global giving supported initiatives directly tied to our four focus areas—Sustainable Agriculture, Environmental Stewardship, Industry Workforce, and Resilient Communities. These focus areas serve as the foundation for all global community investment decisions, ensuring that support drives meaningful and measurable outcomes.

  • Strategic Giving: 79% of our $28 million in total global giving—$21.8 million—was aligned with our focus areas.

  • Education: Nutrien’s education programs reached nearly 300,000 students globally.
