PotashCorp to donate $1 M to China quake relief

Saskatoon-Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. said May 16 that it made a donation of US$1 million to assist relief efforts in China following an earthquake that struck Sichuan Province on May 12. The donation will be directed to the China Charity Federation for use by the Sichuan Charity Federation. “We extend our thoughts, prayers and support to the thousands of people whose lives have been affected by this tragedy,” said PotashCorp President and CEO Bill Doyle. “Our friends and business partners in China say it is a traditional value in their country that when disaster strikes, help comes from all sides. We share this value and are responding quickly in their time of need.” This donation follows a commitment to the relief efforts in Myanmar through CARE USA, which was announced at PotashCorp’s annual meeting of shareholders on May 8.
