Our approach
What gets measured gets managed. That is why we manage and measure our value creation along the four pillars of People, Planet, Prosperity, and Governance.
Our reporting reflects the way we manage our performance – holistically.

At Yara, we want to direct our attention and efforts to the topics that truly matter to our value creation and to our stakeholders.
