Society and stakeholders

Building relationships with its large and varied group of stakeholders – including all those with an interest in the company, from customers to environmental groups – is necessary to reach Yara’s ambition of being a good, global citizen. Maintaining good relationships is a benchmark of success.

For Yara, the value of engaging in an open and active dialogue with stakeholders is clear. It is integral to the successful implementation of the company’s corporate citizenship strategy as well as Yara’s overall growth strategy - and the vision of being the industry shaper.
