Safe by Choice
Creating a safe and secure working environment starts with who we are and what we do. Safe by Choice is Yara’s commitment to achieving zero harm, across health, environment, safety and security. We believe every serious accident can be prevented. Reaching zero harm is possible when learning, accountability and continuous improvement guide our actions. Through consistent operational excellence, we build and maintain a strong HESQ culture that ensures a safe working environment for our employees, contractors and neighbors.
Safe by Choice reinforces a simple truth: working safely is a deliberate decision. Safe by Choice applies to every team member worldwide. We are accountable for making choices that protect people, the environment, products and processes. Individually and collectively, we must assume responsibility for taking care of ourselves and each other, with better quality, more ownership, engagement, and consistency.
When each of us chooses safety, we all move closer to zero harm
Yara strives to be the safest and most responsible company in our global industry. When people act safely; when products are handled responsibly; when processes are robust and compliant; we create conditions that allow us to deliver on our mission to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet.
“Safety grows when we learn, improves when we act, and endures when all take ownership.”

Yara complies with all necessary global, regional and local chemicals control regulations. We explicitly support the goal of EU REACH to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment. In countries outside the EU, we set comparable standards for our products. Consequently, we do not produce or market critical products (containing SVHC) globally, which we have not registered and do not market within the EU or US.
