“We are all shocked and saddened at the devastation in the Philippines from the October earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan,” said Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman. “Although we are extremely grateful that all of our employees throughout the Philippines are safe, we know that the storm’s impact across the country has displaced families, impacted food supplies and damaged telecommunications infrastructure.
