For Against SP 1: Disclosure on Human Rights Risk Assessment
3
Voter Rationale: Saputo is being asked to report on its process for assessing human rights-related risks. Although SAP has disclosed certain related policies within its Code of Ethics and pursuant to the Saputo Promise initiative, includes some measurable metrics - the company does not provide specifics about potential risks or related risk assessments conducted prior to entering business relationships. Many industry peers in Canada have publicly disclosed more information, including codes of conduct specific to suppliers and additional information about potential risks within Corporate Sustainability Reports dedicated to ESG issues. Given that SAP was fined in 2016 for an H&S offence which resulted in an employee’s death, and is expanding into international markets, more transparency would be beneficial for investors. As such, we are supporting the resolution.
