Supply Chain and
Contractors
Mosaic creates strong supplier relationships
based on trust, fairness and mutual respect —
and we hold our suppliers, their employees
and subcontractors to the same high standards
to which we hold ourselves, as outlined in the
Supplier Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Mosaic suppor ts local business in its supply
chain operations, with the goal of contributing to
a stable economy in each of our communities.
Sourcing Locally for
Global Benefit
In 2011, local vendors supplied 73 percent of our
supply chain needs in our Phosphates business
and 67 percent in our Potash business — up
from 61 percent and 57 percent last year,
respectively. While we do not have a writ ten
policy for preferring locally based suppliers,
Mosaic does suppor t and encourage this
practice as a means of suppor ting local jobs and
contributing to economic viabilit y.
