ICL Group Recognised as a Leader in Sustainable Agriculture

ICL Group is proud to be recognised as one of the leading sustainable companies in the European Business Review’s recent article, “4 Truly Sustainable Companies That Are Making an Impact on Our Lives.” This acknowledgment places ICL alongside other esteemed global leaders, such as John Deere, AGCO, and Dole, who are setting the standard for sustainability in their industries. Our inclusion in this group outlines ICL’s commitment to advancing eco-friendly practices and innovative solutions within agriculture. As we continue to pioneer advancements that drive environmental stewardship and efficiency, this recognition reinforces our position at the forefront of global sustainability efforts.

A Commitment to Sustainable Innovation

The European Business Review’s article celebrates companies that are not only imagining a better future but are actively shaping it. We’re honoured to be included among these pioneers, reflecting our relentless drive to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations. Our initiatives focus on reducing environmental impact, enhancing resource efficiency, and fostering a circular economy.

We continually invest in technologies and processes that reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting renewable energy sources and optimising our production methods, we also aim to lower our carbon footprint and contribute to global climate goals.

Key Highlights of Our Sustainability Efforts

At ICL, we are dedicated to developing products and technologies that are not only effective but also environmentally responsible. Our focus on sustainable practices includes innovations in agriculture, water management, and industrial processes that minimise waste and energy consumption.

POLYSULPHATE

A Sustainable Agricultural Solution: One of our standout products is Polysulphate, a multi-nutrient fertiliser that aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. Polysulphate has a notably low carbon footprint compared to traditional fertilisers, thanks to its efficient production process at Boulby Mine, North Yorkshire. This product not only supports environmental sustainability but also delivers significant benefits to agriculture.

Boosting Yields and Profits: Polysulphate enhances crop yields by providing essential nutrients in a highly effective form. Its unique composition ensures that plants receive balanced nutrition, leading to healthier growth and higher productivity. Farmers using Polysulphate often experience increased yields and improved crop quality, translating to greater profitability.

Soil Health and Sustainability: Polysulphate contributes to soil health by improving nutrient availability and reducing the need for additional chemical inputs. Its slow-release formula minimises nutrient runoff and enhances soil fertility, promoting long-term agricultural sustainability.

EQO.X

Controlled Release Fertilisers with EQO.x Technology: Our commitment to precision and sustainability is further exemplified by our controlled release fertilisers, which utilise our advanced EQO.x technology. This cutting-edge technology ensures that nutrients are released gradually and efficiently over time, matching the needs of the plants, and reducing environmental impact.

Optimised Nutrient Delivery: EQO.x technology enhances nutrient uptake by plants, improving growth and yield while minimising wastage. This means less frequent applications and reduced environmental impact, as nutrients are more effectively utilised.

Environmental Benefits: By controlling the release rate of nutrients, EQO.x technology helps reduce nutrient leaching and runoff, protecting water sources and promoting sustainable farming practices. This approach supports both environmental stewardship and agricultural productivity.

PURALOOP

Leading the Way in Recycling: Our Puraloop technology represents a significant leap forward in recycling and sustainability. Puraloop is designed to recover and recycle vital nutrients from waste materials, transforming them into high-quality, usable products.

Sustainable Recycling: By converting waste into valuable resources, Puraloop not only reduces landfill use but also decreases the demand for virgin raw materials. This closed-loop system supports our commitment to a circular economy and minimises environmental impact.

Resource Efficiency: Puraloop’s ability to recover nutrients from various waste streams helps close the nutrient loop, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers and lowering overall production costs. This innovation enhances the efficiency of resource use and contributes to sustainable agriculture practices.

Looking Forward

Being recognised by the European Business Review is a significant milestone for ICL Group. It motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainability. We believe that our efforts not only contribute to a healthier planet but also create value for our customers, partners, and the communities we serve.
