At SQM Iodine Plant Nutrition we have developed a comprehensive Sustainability Plan, framed within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We understand sustainability as a core value. This motivates us to constantly take on new challenges and commitments, considering all areas of the company and the business:

  • Ethics and Corporate Governance
  • Employees
  • Value Chain
  • Environment and Sustainable Development
  • Communities

This plan guides our actions toward a more conscious operating model, which seeks to generate environmental, social, and economic value in all the territories where we operate.
