GRUPO HAME

Status: Suspended


Summary:

Human rights violations as reported by coalition of NGOs

• Report from a coalition of NGO’s can be found here: link to report

Actions BLC:

Nov-19: based on the positive progress made on the milestones set in June Bunge

developed additional, temporary, milestones to officially close the remaining gaps. Within

the coming 6 months (per 1/1/2020), Bunge requires REPSA to:

• continue working with Earthworm foundation on implementing policy and GAPS

• successfully hire an Ethics manager

• publicly share a detailed bi-monthly report of community and NGO stakeholder

engagement in the La Pasion river Region, including pictures, topics discussed, form of the

engagement and future actions

• improve the frequency of reporting on grievances, including:

1. publish monthly Grievance list updates

2. publish the action plan from the Grievance mechanism audit (May 2019) including specific

actions per section mentioned in the audit report and timeline for implementation

3. publish monthly summary reports of the progress made on the actions from the action plan

(including points 4.1-4.6 of the audit report)

4. conduct an third party evaluation visit to verify the implementation of recommendations

from the Grievance mechanism audit and publicly report on the outcome and actions of this

evaluation visit

Oct-19: Bunge's Regional Sustainability manager directly engaged REPSA on the milestones

set by Bunge. Bunge is satisfied with the progress made by REPSA:

• REPSA reports bi-monthly on the implementation of the actions from their Sustainability

Action Plan. Annual action plans and accompanied progress reports have been shared since

2017. In 2019, 3 progress updates have been shared with stakeholders and are published

in REPSA's website;

• Environmental Impact Assessment, Social Impact Assessment and the Impact Management

plan have been published on the REPSA website;

• REPSA closely collaborates with local stakeholders in the Sayaxche region via its 's

transparent stakeholder mechanism. 18 workshops were held to consult local stakeholders

on the impact of operations of Grupo Hame. (see Progress Reports 2019 n.o. 1 and 2)

• In March 2019 Earthworm Foundation (EF), consulting firm A Social License to Operate

(ASLO) and Oxfam Guatemala conducted an audit on REPSA's Grievance Mechanism.

Findings of the audit have been included in an Action Plan to close the gaps. Based on the

audit results REPSA created a new position at Corporate level: Ethics Manager to oversee

adequate functioning of the mechanism. Audit Report is published on REPSA's website.

Based on the 1:1 engagement with REPSA and consultation of various stakeholders Bunge is

satisfied with most of the progress delivered to date. Hence, some additional temporary

milestones will be set for REPSA to officially re-enter Bunge supply chain.

Jun-19: Bunge acknowledges the progress made by REPSA over the past years and engaged

them to discuss the milestones for re-engagement. Bunge expects REPSA to:

• Seek agreement with local stakeholders on key milestones for resolution of the la passion

grievance, i.e. remediation and/or other steps such as watershed management (regardless of

the ongoing investigation on the June 2015 spill event). This can be in the form of an agreed

action plan that includes:

1. Transparent engagement and consultation process with affected communities and local

organizations about the form of remedy

2. Remedies provided should be in line with the UN Guiding Principles On Business and Human

Rights

3. Conduct EIA and publish results (if already completed: make results available and accessible

to all stakeholders)

4. Take the lead in watershed management in the Sayaxche Region

5. Public quarterly report on implementation of Repsa’s Sustainable Palm Oil Policy and Zero

Tolerance policy

• Share results of the recent audit conducted on REPSA’s grievance management and

implement recommendations (action plan plus timing)

• Pro-actively report on progress (quarterly)

May-18: Bunge will no longer accept oil from REPSA and affiliated companies (Olemca /

Grupo Hame), we have informed our trading partners and commercial team accordingly.

May-17: based our assessment we found Repsa to be non-compliant with our policy. We

informed our trading partners accordingly.

2016: We have contacted our trading partners to ensure that REPSA becomes compliant with

our policy. We expect our trading partners to set specific requirements for REPSA to meet

and communicate these requirements via their grievance list. We also expect our trading

partners to report progress via their grievance lists or during meetings with our

representatives.
