6yThank you for taking the time to submit a review. You’ve raised a number of items which are of concern to us, especially around ethics and compliance, and we take these concerns seriously. We also recognize that changes resulting from the merger in 2018 are often difficult to adjust to. When recruiting new employees or elevating existing employees into senior management positions, we work to ensure final candidates align with our core values and engagement principles, namely Integrity. If you feel a leader has violated our Code of Conduct or acted without integrity, you’re strongly encouraged to reach-out to our confidential ethics and compliance hotline. With regards to the location of our head office, like many other major corporations, we don’t have just one major corporate office. In addition to our Saskatoon, Saskatchewan office, where we are in the process of building a new state-of-the-art office tower, we have significant corporate offices in Calgary, Alberta and Loveland, Colorado. All three of these centers are located in the heart of agricultural production and our operations - in the Prairies of Canada and the Large Heartland of the US. We take our role to “grow our world from the ground up” very seriously, and feel that, with this as our Purpose statement, our employees will as well. We’re disappointed to hear this statement does not fit your experience with us. We also understand how the recent initiative to delay or reduce some non-essential costs can impact employees; however, they are necessary. We launched this effort as a direct response to recent tough growing conditions and challenges resulting from trade disputes which have impacted growers and our business this season. When growers have difficult years, so do we, and we recognize this and take appropriate action.
