3 growing Our objectives Growing with joy involves the active shaping of expansion and relates to growth in both a personal and a business sense. In this regard, one may take the Borealis L.A.T management at its word. For us, growing with joy also means portfolio enlargement because we wish to fulfill the needs of our customers to the greatest extent possible. Past developments confirm that our new slogan corresponds with reality, as evidenced by expansion not only in terms of the numbers of items available, but also our warehousing and sales region as a whole. All of which adds up to parallel growth amongst our partners and customers. Gerald Papst Vice-President BU Fertilizer Our customers represent the focus of both our thoughts and actions. Without them, our growth would be impossible. Accordingly, together with our partners, who market our chemical products, and via an extensive range of products and services, we assist our customers to achieve growth in their own business areas. Ernst Buchner Director Sales Fertilizer We are tapping into diverse new markets and are adding numerous production locations, which naturally results in increasingly complex logistics. However, overcoming the resultant challenges with new employees from differing cultures is most gratifying. Moreover, in the process, we generate additional advantages for our customers, who in future will thus be able to achieve supplementary growth. Zsolt Udvari Supply Chain Manager

6 FERTILIZER TECHNICAL N PRODUCTS Borealis L.A.T : Europe s leading fertilizer distributor. Borealis L.A.T has a clear geographical focus on Europe and is the continent s leading fertilizer distributor. The company s head office is located in Linz, Austria, where apart from fertilizers, the globally active Borealis Group manufactures melamine and technical nitrogen products. Additional fertilizer production locations are situated in France (Ottmarsheim, Grand Quevilly, Grandpuits), Belgium (Moustier) and the Netherlands (Sas van Gent). In addition Borealis L.A.T has long-term relations with production and sales partners across the world. In selected areas our global market presence will be expanded. Innovations based on practicality Borealis L.A.T feels obligated to encourage good farming practice and therefore promotes intensively the use of the latest methods and equipment for the precise determination of the fertilizer requirement of agricultural crops. N-Management tools like N-Tester and N-Pilot measurements furnish our customers with valuable assistance during fertilizer planning.

8 FERTILIZER TECHNICAL N PRODUCTS A commitment to sustainability For Borealis L.A.T, the future presents a two-pronged challenge comprised by the sustained supply of the global population with food in tandem with the simultaneous protection of the environment. We are well aware that farming has an influence on every aspect of the eco-system. The atmosphere, water and soil are all impacted and flora and fauna are influenced to an equal degree. Therefore, a mineral fertilizer producer such as Borealis not only bears a special responsibility with regard to the environmental consequences of its production, but also the straightforward employment of its products. Thus, the question arises as to the contribution that a mineral fertilizer can make to sustainability. A comprehensive response is not limited to the individual acres of farmland, but is also reflected by the effects on every tonne of wheat, maize and rapeseed. For in the final analysis, halved yields mean that double the amount of precious land resources are required for cultivation. Climate protection and a secure supply of food The application of mineral fertilizers enhances both crop harvests and quality. Indeed, 48 per cent of the global population feeds itself via this increased output. Furthermore, by 2030 the world s food requirement is set to rise by another 50 per cent. In view of the limited availability of farmland, this additional need can only be covered by intensive and simultaneously sustainable production methods. Consequently, Borealis L.A.T has the objective of promoting higher arable farming yields with cleanly produced products. Smallest ecological footprint Today, Borealis fertilizer production in Linz is already setting the benchmarks of the tomorrow, as is exemplified by its lowemission manufacture of nitrogen fertilizers containing nitrates. This protects the climate and consumes less fossil fuel, thus creating fertilizers with the smallest ecological impact. The low carbon footprint standard thus achieved was already recognized in 2009 with the award of the Upper Austrian government s IRIS environmental prize.

12 FERTILIZER TECHNICAL N PRODUCTS Success factors Those looking for farming success must use fertilizers in order to return to the soil the valuable nutrients absorbed by crops. Apart from its top quality products, Borealis L.A.T also supports farmers in this process with agronomic and technical know-how, especially with regard to correct fertilizer storage and optimum application. This provides better yields, which in turn facilitate sustained agricultural activities. This represents the only means by which a win-win situation can be attained for all those involved. Or in a nutshell, only thus can all sides achieve growing with joy.
