PotashCorp Earns CICA Top Honors in Three Reporting Categories
(CSRwire) SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN. - December 4, 2008 - PotashCorp continues
to receive the respect of the corporate reporting community in Canada,
with three awards of excellence in the 2008 CICA Corporate Reporting
Awards from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
The three top-tier awards were: - The Award of Excellence in the
Mining Category for its 2007 Annual Report, placing first in the
category,
- The Award of Excellence in Electronic Disclosure, placing first among
all categories,
- The Award of Excellence in Sustainability Reporting, placing first
among all categories.
"With the market turmoil the world has
experienced in recent months, we cannot underestimate the importance of
transparency in helping build and retain the trust of our many
stakeholders," said Denita Stann, Director, Investor Relations. "By
providing insight into our strategies, our successes and even our
shortcomings, we reduce uncertainty and increase our ability to gain their
long-term support. That also helps raise the value of our company."
PotashCorp received the Award of Excellence for its Annual Report in 2007
and was given honourable mentions for electronic disclosure and
sustainability reporting. The awards reflect PotashCorp's continuing
commitment to excellence in corporate reporting, as the company previously
won the CICA's Overall Award of Excellence for an unprecedented three
consecutive years from 2004-2006.
"Year in and year out, PotashCorp demonstrates a consistent ability to
maintain high standards of financial reporting and corporate
communications," said CICA's President and CEO Kevin Dancey, FCA. "The
company's success with this award program is impressive. It clearly
demonstrates the value the company places on corporate reporting.
Congratulations on another impressive showing."
The CICA Corporate Reporting Awards are open to the top 50 companies per
industry sector listed on the TSX as of March 31, 2008 with a market cap
of over $200 million and incorporated in Canada. The judging groups
include the CICA, the Toronto CFA Society, Canadian Investor Relations
Institute and the International Institute for Sustainable Development.
