Over the years, as awareness regarding global and regional sustainability challenges increased, ICL developed a two-legged approach. On the one hand, the operational focus has been on reducing negative impacts - promoting energy, material and carbon efficiency, pollution control and risk reduction. In parallel, there has been a growing focus on the introduction of products solutions that increase the global positive impact of ICL’s business - through its products, existing and new. \
Much progress has been made on this aspect, especially with regard to advanced specialty fertilizers. Such solutions include controlled release fertilizers, integration with sophisticated irrigation technology and precision agriculture. A good example is Polysulphate, an organic high-quality fertilizer with low environmental footprint, where ICL is currently the only producers.
Significant effort is also being made to improve every aspect of ICL’s products’ life cycles, through environmental planning during the product development phase, through efficient logistics as well as through training and support of end users – local distributors, farmers and others that may have significant impact on products’ environmental impact and performance. This systematic approach is not unique to fertilizers. ICL is seeking to support and develop its products for some new clean sectors, such as the unique chemistry required for grid-scale renewable energy storage and various circular economy solutions that are being explored through leveraging global partnerships.
