Fund Provider Response

Nutrien’s Geismar, Louisiana site had waste from past fertiliser production, including phosphogypsum (a by-product of fertiliser production) piles and contaminated wastewater. In 2022, Nutrien agreed to a court-supervised clean-up that funds the work, sets deadlines, and requires independent oversight. The plan treats the water, closes and caps the phosphogypsum piles, while air emissions were reduced in a separate action. Nutrien also cancelled a planned ammonia project, at the site, which reduces environmental risks. Company reports show greenhouse gases and other air emissions trending down. Water risk is disclosed, with extra focus on sites that use more water.

Uber’s social controversies centred on safety, privacy, and labour. Safety has seen the most progress: recurring Safety Reports, stronger background checks, and cross-platform bans for offenders. Privacy oversight has moved to board level, supported by audits and formal governance. Labour risks vary by jurisdiction but now rest on clearer frameworks: “worker” status in the UK, minimum pay/benefits in California, and defined settlements elsewhere. Together, these reforms show structural control maturation. With safety disclosures, board-level privacy, and bounded labour frameworks, Pella assesses social risks as actively managed and no longer an investment barrier.
