At FMC, sustainability is more than an environmental initiative and far more than feeling good about our efforts to do the right thing. It is the basis for sustaining our company’s future and our valuable relationships with our customers, employees, and the people who live and work in the communities where we operate.


Sustainability Is An Opportunity

FMC is committed to advancing sustainable innovation, operations and business practices as we seek to grow and improve the quality of people’s lives everywhere.

This commitment involves:

  • Creating and delivering long-term shareholder value through lower cost and sustained growth

  • Improving products and enhancing customer relationships

  • Creating greater personal and professional opportunity for our employees

  • Making a positive impact on the communities where we operate and in the world at large

With continued stakeholder engagement, from customers who look to us to support their own sustainability goals, to coworkers who make ideas reality, we are moving ahead stronger than ever.

FMC’s 2011 Sustainability Report marks our entry into the formalized reporting of economic, social and environmental indicators as defined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).  Our goal is to give all readers an understanding of our approach to sustainability, as well as our accomplishments and commitments in this critically important area.
