They are a Signature Investor with Tokata HR Solutions. We are proud to work with The Mosaic Company to help build their Indigenous workforce!
The Mosaic Company Overview
The Mosaic Company is a leading global producer of phosphate and potash crop nutrients. Their mission is to help the world grow the food it needs.
Mosaic’s potash mining history in Saskatchewan stretches back more than 60 years, when their legacy companies recovered the first potash in the province.
In Saskatchewan, they operate three potash facilities located in Belle Plaine, Colonsay, and Esterhazy with a business office in Regina. They employ nearly 12,000 people in 11 countries around the world with approximately -1,900 of them calling Saskatchewan home.
At Mosaic, they understand that the sustainability of our business and our communities are strongly linked. They strive to be a thoughtful and engaged neighbour who invests carefully and generously, and, through working together, they identify strategic opportunities to target grant funding to initiatives and projects that are important to the growth and sustainability of First Nations and Métis communities in the areas where they operate.
