GROWMARK’s way to inspire and define our work toward effective environmental measures, meaningful social interactions, and sound governance. Increasingly in the world of business, consumers, investors, financers, insurers, and others are driven to learn a company’s activities relative to the environment, social issues, and governance – largely known as ESG. For decades, GROWMARK has identified and practiced those sustainable activities diligently and with the internal drive to make them profitable, successful, and meaningful. In 2014, we created the endure program to serve as a way to recognize on-the-ground advocates of good agronomic practices. The endure platform has organically expanded to include all of GROWMARK’s ESG initiatives. First and foremost, GROWMARK is a cooperative. Consistently, we are among the top five agricultural cooperatives in North America – with more than 200 member cooperative locations that are owned by more than 400,000 farmers. As a cooperative, our business practices are driven by the seven Cooperative Principles: • Open and voluntary membership • Democratic member control • Member’s economic participation • Autonomy and independence • Education, training, and information • Cooperation among cooperatives • Concern for community. Across North America, we provide energy products, crop nutrients, crop protection products, seed, structures, equipment, and grain marketing services. The GROWMARK System supports its people and product lines with warehousing and logistics as well as training, staff development, and marketing support.
