Sustainability report

Through this document, we transparently express our far-reaching and unwavering commitment to the sustainability of our business, which we have projected for the coming years in our Sustainability Plan, which includes a series of environmental, social and productive goals and commitments.

We have issued reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) principles for the past 12 years, and we meet the requirements of the Global Compact 2020 Communication of Progress (COP). In this new publication, we have included the SASB indicators report, which positions SQM within a select group of chemical companies. This new version of the report is an important exercise in transparency and management and helps us manage our actions and connect with our stakeholders.

As a company, we have opted for external verification of this report for the third year in a row based on new international requirements and internal goals.
