Dear Michael,

 

I hope you’ll join me next Wednesday, August 21 for our next Issues in Depth call:

 

Combating Global Food Insecurity through Partnership: The Mosaic Villages Project

Wednesday, August 21 | 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM GMT

Kari Niedfeldt-Thomas, Manager, Social Responsibility at The Mosaic Company, and Manager at The Mosaic Company Foundation

 

Global food security is one of the most pressing issues of our time. How can small farmers, who are often trapped in a cycle of insufficient crop yields and poverty, help feed the world's booming population? As the world’s leading producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash – two macronutrients essential to plant life – The Mosaic Company sees the business and social mission in helping the world grow the food it needs. In this call, learn how The Mosaic Company and The Mosaic Company Foundation have partnered with NGO implementing partners to invest in programs in Guatemala, India, and eight African countries. You’ll hear how they’ve put a corporation’s massive global resources to work at the local level, and how, through effective partnership, they’re combating global food insecurity from the soil up.

 

>> Register for the call

 

What’s up next?

This month, we’re focusing on collaboration for impact. Chat with Dell’s Global Director of Sustainability Operations, Bruno Sarda, on engaging the whole corporation in sustainability as part of our Impact at Work call series.

Last month’s calls went beyond big ideas to discuss what’s necessary to effectively manage change. Learn how to translate your entrepreneurial ideas to the real world, or gain valuable insight from a treehugger driving change within corporations, by tuning in to the recordings!

Hope to see you on the next call!

 

Cheers,

Meredith

Hi Michael,

Interesting! Thanks for forwarding. I'll take a closer look shortly. I think the Mosaic Company is a fertilizer/chemical company?...which is super interesting.

Cheers,
Sarah

That's right - they do fertilizer and they're MN-based as well.
