Yara employs its industry leadership position and knowledge to deliver solutions to major global challenges

How we work

Yara has established company-wide practices to develop its role as a global corporate citizen and manage its contributions to society - as an industry shaper, a stocklisted company, a global business, a major employer and a leader in sustainable agricultural development.

Yara’s citizenship governance structure is crucial for creating long-term value for shareholders while also being profitable to society. With this in mind, Yara looks to align business with global trends and developments to explore emerging business opportunities and at the same time manage health, environmental, safety and quality issues in line with its ambitions for industry-shaping performance.

Company-wide practices have been established to live up to these ambitions. Yara’s Code of Conduct defines the company’s commitments and standards of conduct, and applies to all employees, in every part of our operations. As of 2006, Yara has also participated in the United Nations Global Compact  and implemented its 10 principles throughout the organization.
