FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY In the Danish Agro group, we endeavour to live up to our social responsibility by running our business profitably and sustainably and by integrating financial, social, environmental and ethical considerations into our production and processes. We wish to ensure sustainable development of our business activities, and put extra emphasis on prioritising high-quality products, high delivery reliability, limited consumption of resources and consistent sustainable development throughout our value chain and in dialogue with our stakeholders. Danish Agro has signed the UN Global Compact and fully supports the UN guidelines for human rights and commerce. We make every effort to integrate these principles in our business and value chain based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles and a code of conduct for suppliers. In addition, Danish Agro shares the Danish Agriculture and Food Council’s vision of climate-neutral foodstuffs by 2050 - which means that by that date the foodstuffs sector shall not emit more greenhouse gases than it captures. We are currently in the process of developing a number of concrete action plans and targets to ensure that we contribute to achieving this vision. This will be through our own initiatives plus partnerships with farmers, organisations and companies, and we will need to find a financially viable route to climate-neutral production of foodstuffs. In general, in relation to climate and the environment, we are focused on reducing our environmental footprint as much as possible. We are working with a number of projects, including energy efficiency to reduce our impact on the climate and environment. In terms of social responsibility, we are focused on an employee policy which puts emphasis on education, safety and a good working environment. With our suppliers, we want to have a constructive and innovative dialogue based on the principles of human rights and rights on the workplace. In that connection, we are also focused on health and a good working environment, and we do not tolerate child labour or forced labour. Our trainee programme continues to be an important focus area, and here we assume direct responsibility for young people and give them a good start in the agribusiness sector, among other things, by giving them skills and sharing our knowledge and experience with them. In our business practice, we counter all forms of corruption, including blackmail and bribery, and our business activities are conducted in accordance with all relevant local, national and international laws and regulations. In addition, trade on the world market takes place in free competition and in accordance with applicable competition laws. Trade restrictions issued by the United Nations are respected. We look forward to continue working with the Global Compact principles in the year ahead. Henning Haahr Group CEO 3
