Compass Minerals is a leading global provider of essential minerals focused on safely delivering where and when it matters to help solve nature’s challenges for our customers and communities. Through the responsible transformation of Earth’s natural resources, we deliver products that help keep people safe, feed the world and enrich lives. That is our Core Purpose, and we take great pride in fulfilling it. In September 2022, we announced the results of our strategic assessment for phase one of our lithium development, including the achievement of several key milestones relating to cost estimates, technology selection and the completion of a life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental impact. We also increased our equity ownership in Fortress North America (Fortress), a next-generation fire retardant company focused on reinventing wildfire application technologies. Fortress leverages the magnesium chloride produced from our Ogden solar evaporation facility to create a proprietary portfolio of innovative, environmentally friendly aerial and ground retardant formulations to fight wildfires and decrease fire risk. We enhanced our Human Rights policy, including our commitment to the inclusion and recognition of vulnerable populations. The policy, which was approved by our cross-functional Policy Committee and chief legal and administrative officer and corporate secretary, and is overseen by our board of directors, addresses modern slavery and child labor, freedom of association, equal opportunity, compensation and benefits, workplace safety and security, community relationships and Indigenous Peoples, and training.
