Focus on sustainable development We are convinced that the sustainable development of society is dependent on productive, competitive and efficient business. Care for the environment and the community shall go hand-in-hand with the financial objectives of the business. Corporate social responsibility and care for the environment are therefore integrated into our commercial activities. Our initiatives within CSR focus on the areas relevant to the business, and in which we have expertise and know-how. Everyone our business, society and the environment - should benefit from the activities we are involved in. We take a proactive approach to social and environmental responsibility throughout the value chain based on the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles. Within social responsibility, we focus on a personnel policy with the emphasis on safety at work, training and a healthy working environment. We want to engage in constructive and innovative dialogue with our suppliers based on the principles of human and labour rights. This includes focus on health and the working environment, and we do not tolerate forced or child labour. With regard to the environment, we focus on making as little impact as possible. Development and changes in the group’s production systems plus the way we deal with ingredients and waste products are always conducted with the environment in mind. We also work hard to ensure that our suppliers have acceptable levels of care for the environment in their own production processes. When it comes to our own business practices, we oppose any form of corruption, including blackmail and bribery. We conduct our commercial activities in accordance with international, national and local laws and regulations relevant to our business. Our trading on the world market is on the basis of free competition and in accordance with competition laws. Trade restrictions applied by the UN are always respected. This is the first Progress Report from Danish Agro, and we look forward to continue working with the Global Compact principles in the years to come. Christian Junker CEO, Danish Agro 3
