Pg. 1

Specific statement:

"As a principle we only source from companies that comply with the rule of law.

Regarding human rights this means that:

- suppliers shall not engage in child labour;

- wages and working time shall, as a minimum, comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including minimum wage, overtime and maximum hours in the country concerned;

- suppliers shall support equal opportunities and fight discrimination at the workplace;

- suppliers shall not use prison, indentured, or bonded labour, or use corporal punishment or other forms of mental and physical coercion as a form of discipline; and

- suppliers shall respect and support the free association of labour and employee rights to join a trade union where allowable by law. "

Pg.2

"In the area of working towards a credible and responsible supply chain, we press our suppliers to sign Nutreco’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Today, 90% of Nutreco’s direct procurement spend have signed their agreement to comply with our Supplier Code. Additionally, all new suppliers are required to sign-off their agreement to comply with our Code."

This last paragraph leads me to believe that "Contracts include clauses on forced labour" is "In development"

The statement does not mention anything about policies that apply to the suppliers of their suppliers. However, when assessing Nutreco's 2014 Supplier Code of Conduct you will find that suppliers do not have to follow the Nutreco code of conduct:

"May use their own policies or code of conduct in communication with their suppliers"

And that Nutreco considers it the responsibility of its suppliers to ensure there is compliance further down their supply chain.

"Suppliers shall make reasonable efforts to engage with their suppliers on the criteria for sustainable sourcing and production of agricultural products presented in this supplement."
