terre des hommes schweiz ​Fertilizer producer EuroChem, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, received a shipload of phosphate rock from Western Sahara in Estonia in October. Phosphate mining in the occupied Western Sahara violates international law. Importing the phospate rock from the former Spanish colony is therefor unethical and the company is acting without credibility.
