TSI Value - A Member Perspective

The Mosaic Company has been a TSI member nearly as long as it was formed in 2004. Sulphur is a key, strategic raw material in Mosaic's phosphate fertilizer manufacturing process and Mosaic ranks among the world's largest consumers of sulphur at four million tons annually. An important factor that was instrumental in Mosaic joining TSI is that TSI's membership ranks include a broad spectrum of entities across the world that touch all facets of sulphur, inclusive of, but not limited to: producers, consumers, marketers, service providers, transportation/storage/handling entities, consultants, equipment manufacturers, etc. Our membership in TSI has proven invaluable in many ways. Foremost is that we have the opportunity to interact with our sulphur colleagues around the world by sharing in "best practices" that we can apply within Mosaic in our pursuit of continuous improvement. We have reaped huge benefits over the years from what we have learned from our involvement in TSI and its focus committees in regards to the safe transportation and handling of sulphur and employee safety practices. In addition, membership in TSI inherently brings with it the ability to stay abreast of all the important sulphur-related developments that impact respective industries around the world. Membership in TSI, and having our employees become active with TSI committees and working groups, has been and continues to be a worthwhile endeavor from which we continue to receive many benefits.
