Community

For Mosaic to Prosper, So Must Our Communities

Our operating communities are also our homes – where we live, work and raise children.

We strive to be a thoughtful and engaged neighbor, investing carefully and generously as we seek long-term partnerships with organizations that are making a difference.

Mosaic is dedicated to advancing the many ways that our business contributes to the sustainable development of the communities where we operate: investing in communities; hiring employees and contracting vendors from local communities; offering competitive wages and benefits to our workforce; and developing our future workforce.

Investing in Communities

We believe it is our responsibility to use our financial resources, technical expertise and innovative spirit to help the world sustainably grow the food it needs through strategic partnerships with leading organizations.

The Mosaic Company, The Mosaic Company Foundation and The Mosaic Institute in Brazil provide support through philanthropic grant-making, employee matching opportunities, in-kind products and services contributions, and volunteerism, including pro-bono skills-based technical assistance and functional-specific services. Our companywide community investments activities are focused in three areas.

• Food: Mosaic is committed to supporting organizations that advance global agricultural development, agricultural research and education, and hunger relief for community members in need. Some examples of our efforts are: The Mosaic Villages Project in India; micronutrient deficiency research; and local community food drives, food distribution trucks and school backpack programs.
• Water: Mosaic supports organizations that work in watershed restoration, habitat conservation and nutrient stewardship. These programs, respectively, include shoreline restoration and oyster reef installations; improved land management practices and wildlife protection; and 4R nutrient stewardship, which is best management practices for fertilizer application, minimizing nutrient runoff to improve water quality and optimizing crop yields.
• Local: We support philanthropic and civic partnerships that enrich the long-term strength of the communities in which we operate. These programs include local schools, health and social service agencies, museums, special projects and sponsorship of events and disaster relief.
