Our Approach
From climate impacts and resource use to people and governance, sustainability is embedded into Yara’s operations and long-term value creation. This page highlights our sustainability performance, focusing on the priorities that matter most for our business and stakeholders.
For complete disclosures, including data tables and methodologies, we invite you to explore Yara’s Annual Report. 2025 marked our second year of reporting in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), with our sustainability statements fully integrated into the annual report.
Performance Highlights
Environmental performance
Climate is central to Yara’s strategy, and we continue to explore ways to profitably decarbonize our operations and deliver lower-emission products to our markets. In 2025, we achieved our target to reduce our GHG emissions intensity by 10 percent from the 2018 baseline. During the year, we also strengthened our understanding of environmental risks by assessing production sites located near biodiversity-sensitive areas.
