We believe that innovation and sustainability are the key drivers of growth in the agricultural sector. As such, we have made significant investments in developing advanced crop nutrition products, digital solutions, and integrated services that enable farmers to increase their yields and provide for the nutritional needs of the world.

Our overall sustainable strategy is rooted in achieving a leadership position in each of our segments. This is accomplished through leveraging the company’s unique assets and strategic locations, as well as maximizing its knowledge of agronomy, chemistry, and customer insights. ICL is also able to access the leading innovation and technology ecosystem in Israel, providing a competitive edge in sustainable business practices.

We recognize the critical role we play in promoting sustainability and are committed to creating a leading, innovative, and sustainable work environment, with a strong commitment to all our stakeholders.
