PLYMOUTH, Minn., Nov. 5, 2015 /CNW/ -- For the third consecutive year, The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) has achieved recognition from the international non-profit, CDP, for demonstrating measurable action and strategies to reduce greenhouse emissions (GHGs) and mitigate climate-related business risks.
Mosaic achieved a grade of A for performance and is one of 113 companies to be recognized on the CDP Climate "A" List. CDP independently assessed thousands of companies' disclosures against its scoring methodology, and selected only 5 percent for inclusion on the A List.
