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

https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/rainforestactionnetwork/pages/14965/attachments/original/1447228248/REPSAltrtotraders.11.10.15.final.webversion.pdf?1447228248

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


requirements for REPSA to meet and communicate these requirements via their
