Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) has been selected to be part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DSJI) for North America. This is the sixth year that the company has been part of the DJSI, which scores companies based on economic, environmental and social dimensions.

S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world's leading providers of financial market indices, and RobecoSAM, an investment specialist focused exclusively on sustainability investing, named 20 new companies to the North America Index and removed 11 companies. This year the North America Index is made up of 149 component companies.

"PotashCorp is honored to be listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America," said Denita Stann, PotashCorp's Vice President of Investor and Public Relations, in response to the announcement. "Our economic, environmental and social targets and performance reflect our focus on building long-term value for all those associated with our business - our customers, investors, employees and communities."

The DJSI is one of the most prestigious measures of a publicly traded company's sustainability performance. The annual review of companies is based on "analysis of corporate economic, environmental and social performance, assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk management, branding, climate change mitigation, supply chain standards and labor practices," according to the DJSI.

PotashCorp has been recognized in several ways for its sustainability efforts this year including: a listing on the Jantzi Social Index, a listing on the FTSE4Good Index and recognition on Maclean's 50 Most Socially Responsible Corporations in Canada.
