It is mentioned in the MSA statement that "assessments related to ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements" take place for suppliers, customers, and employees. It does not state the methods or techniques for these assessments. p. 2

BMO also claims to "run a range of ethically-screened funds which systematically screen every investee company on their ethical, social and environmental standards". Again, precise methods are not outlined. p. 3

Currently, our supplier due diligence processes are governed by BMO’s Outsourcing and Supplier Risk Management

Framework (OSRMF), and include

assessments related to ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The OSRMF

proactively identifies, assesses, monitors and mitigates risk associated with our third party suppliers through

defined

governance practices.
