ABOUT THE REPORT In 2016, Bunge Southern Cone, or the Company (as it is referred to in this report), prepared, for the first time, its Sustainability Report following the guidelines of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In 2015, two reports were published: one for Bunge Argentina, following GRI G4 Essential Version guidelines, and another one for the Southern Cone region following its own guidelines. In 2016, we decided to go through a comprehensive process and create only one regional report following the new version of the GRI guidelines. This challenge required the implementation of new indicators, which implied redefining the scope of the entities included in Bunge Southern Cone’s report1. If possible, the information regarding 2015 will be submitted so it can be compared to 2016. Nonetheless, any changes in the texts and numbers will be mentioned throughout the report. This report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards 2016 version: core option the guidelines of GRI Standards 2016 version: essential option by Global Reporting Initiative. It gives account of Bunge Southern Cone’s economic, social and environmental management during the period between January 1st and December 31st, 2016. The reporting cycle is annual.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 2016 was an extremely important year for Bunge Southern Cone’s sustainability management. We started working on vital aspects of our value chain, we established new goals to reduce the impact of our activities, we consolidated our zero incident culture, we supported the sustainability issues that matter to our customers, and we strived to be a transparent Company, able to be held accountable and more open to communicating with all of our stakeholders. Searching for new ways to do business that helps us reduce our carbon footprint, we have actively collaborated with different actors of our value chain and with civil society organizations. We know that, as a Company, we can do many things to achieve sustainable growth, but we can do many more if we work together with a common goal.

Enrique Humanes President and CEO

Furthermore, this year, Bunge Southern Cone will publish its first Sustainability Report, entirely written following the new global guidelines suggested by Global Reporting Initiative: GRI Standards, and considering, of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, those 5 most important for the Company (Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth; and Climate Action). Producing Value to deliver an optimal performance We kept consolidating the Food & Ingredients area. This made us a leader in one of its segments, Animal Nutrition and refined oils in the industrial sector, and strengthened our relationship with strategic customers in the regional market. We certified the Food Safety System FSSC 22000 in the vegetable oil refineries from Puerto General San Martín and San Jerónimo Sud. This certification is endorsed by Global Food Safety Initiative, which follows the most demanding global standards in Food Safety. We set a historic record in purchases through the direct channel, which amounted to a significant percentage of the origination total. This is an economic advantage and it brings us closer to the producer by getting to know his needs and the market better. Strengthening our zero incident culture is our number one priority. So much so that our Safety Campaign, “Stand for Safety”, was adopted by Bunge’s partner companies and Joint Ventures in the Southern Cone region.

To help mitigate climate change, we reduced our water and energy consumption, our wastes, and our greenhouse gas emissions for every ton produced, thanks to the annual amounts of more than 3.700.000 dollars invested in enhancing our environmental performance. This achievement led us to establishing far more challenging goals for the next 10 years. We will continue monitoring our indicators to improve our operations and meeting our customers’ new needs. Producing Development, supporting 21st-century value chain As a global Company, in 2015 we confirmed our commitment to making sure that 21st-century value chain are deforestation-free by introducing methodologies to protect the biodiversity and the rights of the rural and indigenous communities. The options to solve the problems caused by deforestation and its impact on climate change arise from multisectorial cooperation. In order to achieve this goal by 2025, we performed pilot traceability studies and satellite analysis in areas in Argentina and Paraguay, which reflect different supply models and are also agricultural expansion areas. We also joined forces with The Nature Conservancy, Fundación Paraguaya, Reaching U and Fundación Bunge y Born, among others, to address the problem from an environmental and social point of view by strengthening the vulnerable communities. In that sense, Bunge’s Agro-files and “Bunge’s Proposal” are tools that producers keep using to make decisions and determine more sustainable agronomic practices. Managing a responsible and sustainable citizenship is one of the organizational values. Our efforts focus on: quality education, healthy diets, good health and wellbeing, social investment, environmental education, and the commitment to a happy childhood without child labor. We are not alone. We implemented social responsibility programs thanks to the synergy and communication we establish with civil society organizations and state agencies. The interaction between the private sector and the public sector has been the key to having already spent 9 years working together with the communities.

Producing Talent, overcoming challenges Even though our Company is part of a market with a traditional profile, today, more than ever, innovating, adapting to change, and doing sustainable business are part of our agenda. Nowadays, our people set the beat of our impulse. We choose to be a diverse and multicultural team, it is in our DNA. We are convinced that we have the best Human Capital to keep growing as a Company and to be the best. Achieving distinctions such as the one from Asociación de Síndrome de Down de la Argentina (ASDRA) ratifies that we have chosen the right path. Lastly, this path was, is and will always be guided by high standards in ethics, integrity and transparency. Thanks to them, relationships strengthen and businesses thrive. The future is promising. Everyone has to work for the common good. Our Company is ready and willing to face new challenges. I invite everyone to read Bunge Southern Cone’s 2016 Sustainability Report, which portrays our current and future commitment. We will gladly receive your questions or thoughts about it. Thank you Enrique Humanes, President and CEO Bunge Southern Cone

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

In the Ethics, Conduct and Regulation Compliance section there is a description of the tools that Bunge Southern Cone’s Corporate Governance has in order to achieve transparency in its management and comply with its values, regulations, and legal requirements.

SELECTING AND COMPENSATING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The members of the Board of Directors are selected based on their potential, performance, working experience, and promotion of a sustainable management regarding economic, safety, environmental and social issues. Bunge has a Compensation Policy that covers the entire Company. Hence, it covers Bunge Southern Cone. This policy defines the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors. This is determined by evaluating the job using the “Hay Method”2 (method adopted by Bunge Southern Cone), and then determining the relative importance of said job within the organization. By obtaining an objective measurement of the importance of the job and its place within the organizational structure, we can assure the internal equality of the remunerations, and externally compare these jobs with the market. Besides the equality factor, remunerations are composed of the individual and personal contributions to the job, which are reflected on the results of their personal performance determined by the Company’s Performance Management Program. Both the remuneration, which corresponds to the individual performance, and the performance within the company are analyzed, managed and approved by the Global Compensation Committee3.

WELL-BEING IN THE WORKPLACE: WORKING CONDITIONS, WORKERS’ HEALTH AND SAFETY Safety is our main priority

The Company takes care of its workers and their families. Putting safety ahead of profits and production, acknowledging and controlling High Potential Exposures (HPE)4, and stopping work and reporting when unsafe conditions are detected are actions that show the daily commitment that Bunge has to ensure safety and reach a Zero Incident Culture.

• If working conditions change or become unsafe, stop working and report it.

The goal of the Zero Incident Culture is for workers of every Bunge facility and office to do their job without suffering injuries or incidents, providing them a safe return home at the end of each work day. It focuses on three key principles:

Furthermore, Industrial Safety, Environment and Sustainability local teams interact on a permanent basis with global teams to join forces with the other regions where Bunge works.

We work systematically to keep a safe environment. We perform different types of activities: audits and inspections to verify various safety aspects, committee meetings, trainings, events, promotion campaigns.

• Always put safety ahead of profits and production. • Use this rule to control high potential exposures: STOP. THINK. PROTECT.

“At Bunge Southern Cone, safety is our main priority. We focus our management on the well-being of all of our workers and their families. That is why, in 2016, we strengthened our bonds by holding events in which we promote our values and conduct to back our zero incident culture”. Eduardo Mualem Bunge Southern Cone’s Safety, Health and Environment Executive Manager

4 High Potencial Exposures (or HPE) are occupational risks that, if not managed properly, are highly likely to cause a fatal incident or an injury that affects people’s lives.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

BUNGE’S GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM5 Bunge has its own Global Industrial Safety Management System, adapted to the Company’s needs and applicable to all operating units in the world. In 2016, this system was updated in Bunge Southern Cone to increasingly adjust the audits, and to add issues regarding Process Safety and High Potential Exposures (HPE). The requirements of this

system are periodically assessed by following an external audit program. Its 12 elements or pillars are:

BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE’S GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BGSMS) Behavioral task observation.

Analysis of critical tasks and procedures.

Rules and work permits.

Emergency preparedness.

Communication and promotion.

Knowledge and skill training.

Leadership and Administration.

Planned inspections and maintenance.

Health control.

Incident investigation and analysis.

Engineering and Purchasing Controls, Contractors.

System evaluation.

GLOBAL SAFETY CAMPAIGN - STAND FOR SAFETY Since 2005, more than 90% of the fatal incidents in Bunge have been caused by 5 High Potential Exposures:

WORK AT HEIGHT 5

HAZARDOUS ENERGY

MOBILE EQUIPMENT

CONFINED SPACES

The Global Industrial Safety Management System is internally identified with the acronym BGSMS – BSC.

HOISTED LOADS


PRODUCING VALUE

Due to these events, Bunge has been working with the 5 High Potential Exposures since 2014, raising awareness and promoting its prevention. In 2016, we kept reaffirming our commitment to safety by implementing Phases 3 and 4 of the global campaign. We also promoted STOP. THINK. PROTECT. and the early or proactive detection of HPEs using convenient tools for workers and leaders. The execution of these Phases was verified using a tracking system. Phase 3’s goal was to strengthen the commitment between the supervisor and the worker by promoting safe work practices and instilling the principles and conducts necessary to reach a Zero Incident Culture.

The core concept was the Stand for Safety6 website, which has a library where you can find talks about different topics regarding the 5 HPEs.

Thanks to the efforts of each Leader and thorough tracking, we were able to complete 100% of Phase 3’s modules of the Stand for Safety campaign.

946 industrial workers attended over 50 informative talks about HPEs, which were given in a simple and practical format. Phase 4 focuses on the role that each worker has regarding the safety of every person working. That is how the “Momentos Decisivos” (Defining Moments) campaign was created. Its goal is to raise awareness about HPEs so they can be controlled and eliminated. Every day, we face moments in which the decisions we take make a difference; for example: following the right procedures, paying attention to exposures, double checking working conditions. These are the Defining Moments: you have to recognize them and apply the STOP. THINK. PROTECT. concept to prevent incidents.

Stand for Safety: name of the main program that raises awareness about occupational safety and health.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

“Stop Work”7 stories: these stories are about workers who stopped working due to safety issues. Through a communication, they share the lessons they learned, and we reinforce the conduct to stop work.

EVENTS Family Safety Day The growing culture of safety and solidarity in Bunge is spreading naturally beyond its industrial facilities, reaching families and communities. So much so that Family Safety Days took place place at San Jerónimo Sud and Tancacha Industrial Complexes. The main goal of these events is to gather families and share the space where Bunge’s employees work everyday. Since Safety is a priority to the Company, that was the theme of the event. In it, awareness was fostered to encourage a prevention culture. Recreational spaces were created for children to learn by playing with their parents. Activities focused on home and road safety were carried out. There were also booths that showed different aspects of work safety: institutional, personal protection elements, medical service, and fire brigades, among

others. Other activities included a tour around the facilities to give families the opportunity to know the industrial processes and the daily work that takes place there, and an emergency drill, where the brigade members8 showed their fire extinguishing skills, leaving families in awe.

The event was attended by over 350 people among relatives, volunteers and workers.

7 Bunge’s employees have the right and the obligation to stop working when the task is too risky or when something, in their opinion, is not safe or right. 8 Brigade members are trained workers who are ready to act in case of emergency.

Emergency Brigade Meeting Emergency Brigade Meetings have been taking place since 2004. They are coordinated by the Safety, Health and Environment department, and they are part of our own health and industrial safety management system. The goal is for brigade members to improve their skills to face several types of emergencies. They exchange experiences and strengthen trust and team work. The last edition, the eleventh, was held in Terminal 6, Joint Venture of which Bunge is a part. Members of 12 fire brigades were part of this meeting. So far, it has been the largest number of participating brigades. Representatives from various public and private organisms also attended. For example, Volunteer Fire departments, Hospitals, Civil Defense, local emergency groups, and members of the work risk insurance company.

SAFETY AWARDS In 2014, Bunge implemented a global safety award program, which evaluates two categories based on the performance during the previous year: Best Plant: it is given to those industrial or port facilities that stand out for having performed proactive safety activities focused on the High Potential Exposures (HPE), and that put safety ahead of profits and production. Best Stop Work: it is given to the person who reported the best case in which work was stopped for safety reasons. The goal of both awards is to honor teams and workers, and to identify and share good safety practices worldwide. Bunge Southern Cone’s winner selection is done by voting. The people who vote are: local and regional Managers, Safety, Health and Environmental

Corporate Management, and Presidency. Then, the local winners compete for the prize at a global level. In 2016, the Best Plant award was given to Piquete Cabado Grain Elevator, and Mauro GĂłmez, from BahĂ­a Blanca Terminal won the Best Stop Work award.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

Safety Proactive Indicator Bunge Southern Cone tracks safety proactive indicators. These represent the efforts of the organization to prevent unwanted near misses. From the management point of view, these indicators are the most useful because of their preventive nature. They compare the performance with set standards, allowing the detection of current management strengths and weaknesses.

These seven indicators are combined into one final formula to create the Safety Proactive Indicator. The ideal score is 1 (maximum condition); the higher, the better. The maximum condition is reached when the goal of each indicator is 100% fulfilled. The seven proactive indictors and their respective goals are:

1

Hours of training on safety and health.

1 hour of training a month per employee.

2

Hours of training on safety and health.

1.5 hour a month per brigade member.

3

Number of 10-minute talks delivered by middle management and supervisors.

2 10-minute talks a month per member of middle management or supervisor.

4

Implementation of risk warnings (detection of substandard or out-of-standard conditions).

Note: the published measurements are the ones that appear on Bunge Southern Cone’s 2015 Citizenship Report because the scope of the indicator remains the same. The Safety Proactive Indicator includes the following facilities: Puerto General San Martín, Ramallo, San Jerónimo Sud, Tancacha, Campana and Terminal Bahía Blanca.

INTERNAL COMMITTEES FOR INCIDENT PREVENTION AND JOINT COMMITTEE FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH – MIXED COMMITTEE In 1999, the Internal Committee for Incident Prevention and/or the Joint Committee for Safety and Health were created. Both hold a monthly meeting, and its tracking is performed using the safety proactive indicator. In said committees, among other activities, workers ask questions and make suggestions regarding safety and health, foster the involvement in prevention and execution initiatives, help prepare procedures and rules of the area, facilitate its transmission and monitor the efficiency of its implementation, and cooperate with the investigation and analysis of incidents and near misses. Joining these committees is voluntary. They are represented in every Bunge industrial complex and every grain elevator in Argentina. 100% of the union workers that work in the industrial complexes of the province of Santa Fe, governed by Law 12.919, and of Buenos Aires, governed by Law 14.408, are represented by the Mixed Committees on Occupational Safety and Health.

The main goal of these committees, which meet on a monthly basis, is to encourage the dialogue and cooperation between the Company and its workers represented by their labor union. They also support safety management by providing technical advice, coordinating safety inspections, cleaning, recommending needs in said matter, and forming a group to analyze, discuss and exchange experiences and issues related to work safety and health within the Company’s Safety and Health Policy. The issues discussed in these meetings are written in the minutes, and then published in different media to inform the interested parties.

CARDIO RESCUE AREAS Puerto San Martín Industrial Complex has a Cardio Rescue Area certificate, which was given by Fundación Cardiológica Argentina. In 2015, San Jerónimo Sud Complex received the same certificate. The goal of the Foundation is to provide international assistance standards and formal accreditation to respond promptly in case of a cardiac emergency. Bunge reaffirms its commitment to their workers’ health by having facilities that are prepared to provide an early cardiac response.

GLOBAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT Bunge Southern Cone is part of a Global Industrial Safety Team that is constantly working to join efforts with other Bunge regions in the world to develop a globally-shared vision. It uses a knowledge management system that aims at capitalizing what has been learnt through methodologies that help to gather knowledge, put it into practice and evolve as a sector, directly contributing to the Company’s overall progress. Following this work method, monthly teleconferences and face-to-face meetings are held to discuss several issues and try to reach a consensus. This way, Global Policies and Regulations are developed, Global Management System guidelines are established, indicators are defined, and other requirements are set. Some important topics of the year are:

• Tracking system to avoid repetition of serious and fatal incidents.It consists of performing the corrective actions that derive from investigating fatal or life-altering incidents that have occurred to Bunge workers, anywhere in the world, in any facility that has similar conditions. This way, based on the lessons learnt, actions are implemented to prevent the incident from happening again. • Reporting and investigating incidents in industrial processes. The causes of those events (such as incidents/fires/explosions) that meet any of the key criteria, for example, activating a response from an external service and/or evacuating part of a plant and/ or activating the external fireman crew and/or the emergency brigade and/or the plant being inactive for more than 6 hours, should be investigated and reported to the highest level in the organization.

• Development of global standards to achieve a safe driving of mobile and building equipment.

This team’s constant work has a positive local impact and reinforces Bunge Southern Cone’s safety management.

CLIMATE CHANGE Sustainable Development Goal number 13 of the United Nations focuses on “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”. It is one of Bunge Southern Cone’s most important SDGs. Climate change increases the risks associated with disasters such as droughts and floods. Thanks to researches conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we know that the global carbon dioxide emissions have increased almost 50% since 1990, and that, between 2000 and 2010, that increase was higher than in the three previous decades. On the other hand, the world population grows and that means more people to feed using the same or fewer natural resources. For example, one of the challenges for the future is determining how to increase food production to satisfy the growing demand using less water. Energy also has a key role. It affects both environmental impacts and food prices.

A healthy environment is good for our business. Our responsibility is bigger than Bunge.

Crops and livestock use 70% of the total of water extractions. Nowadays, food systems use 30% of the world’s energy.

This challenge requires a more sustainable production, and Bunge Southern Cone can help with that.

“Agriculture has a major role to play in responding to climate change. While temperature rises pose a real threat to global food production, investments in all sectors of agriculture can simultaneously support climate change adaptation and mitigation while improving rural people’s livelihoods.”9 “The FAO and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals” Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Bunge, globally and locally, promises to contribute to mitigating climate change by meeting the long-term global environmental goals between 2016 and 2025.

QUALITY OF OUR PRODUCTS The challenge of feeding the world’s growing population must be reached in a sustainable way and by taking care of the planet. We also have to ensure the quality and safety of the products. In order to achieve this global goal, Bunge developed its food safety policy: Bunge is aware of its place in the food production chain, and that is why it pledges to produce and commercialize safe products for its expected use. To do this, it implements, develops, communicates, and continuously improves Food Safety Systems that meet the customers’ requirements, and comply with the legal rules of the job and with the Company’s policies.

Achieving food safety and nutrition improvement is part of Zero Hunger, one of Bunge Southern Cone’s most important Sustainable Development Goals.

Bunge Southern Cone is responsible for keeping their customers’ trust by ensuring that its products are safe and have high quality. Every process, product and service will comply with the applicable regulations regarding food safety.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH FSSC 22.000 Certification

In order to innovate food safety aspects, and motivated by the requirements made by new customers that facilitate the access to new businesses, the vegetable oil refining plants of Puerto General San Martín and San Jerónimo Sud Industrial Complexes received the FSSC 22.000 certification. FSSC 22.000 is a Food Safety certification scheme approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), an organization that assesses and approves the most demanding food safety schemes in the world. To fulfill the established requirements, it is necessary to have a scheme that is more demanding than the

others.FSSC 22.000 gathers the requirements of ISO 22.000 standard (“Food Safety Management Systems”) and ISO/TC 22.002-1 (“Food Safety Pre-requisite Program”), and some additional requirements of its own. To achieve this goal, Bunge Southern Cone’s certification process consisted of a long implementation stage, without external support, and two audit stages carried out by the auditing entity, in which the whole production process and the support areas were included.

100% of the refined vegetable oil production is monitored following the FSCC 22.000 guidelines.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

21st-century value chains: Our commitment to achieve a more sustainable value chain In late 2015, Bunge announced commitments to enhance the sustainability of our value chains. Specifically, the Company committed to: • eliminate deforestation from our agricultural supply chains18 worldwide, employing tested methodologies that incorporate carbon and biodiversity protections,

• respect local and indigenous community rights and apply free, prior and informed consent for land purchases and use, • enhance the traceability and transparency of key supply chains over time, • publicly disclose progress on our efforts.

“The idea of what constitutes a sustainable agricultural value chain is evolving. Bunge is working with others to create systems that incorporate greater transparency and environmental conservation while maintaining the benefits of the efficient commodity markets on which the world relies”. Stewart Lindsay, Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs

Actions in 2016 In 2016, we performed pilot traceability studies and satellite analysis in 9 areas in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, which reflect different supply models and are also agricultural expansion areas. The results of these pilot studies show that the crop volume that has come from deforested areas in the last 10 years could be 10% of our supply in a particular region. The percentages vary depending on the region. Additional areas will be studied. We collaborate with the civil society, other companies and governmental entities to develop convenient decision-making tools that help identify environmentally-suitable farming areas for agriculture to expand. Bunge Southern Cone supported The Nature Conservancy programs whose goal is to preserve the land to mitigate the effects of 18 19

climate change. They are the Model of Regenerative Investment in Natural Capital in the Southwest of Buenos Aires (SOBA Project) and Collaboration for Forest and Agriculture (Gran Chaco). Furthermore, in Paraguay, together with Fundación Paraguaya, the Company implemented the “Lighting Lives” program to strengthen local indigenous communities19. Additionally, we developed strategic plans and informed our commitments through various channels, such as company reports, web page, interviews, and direct communications.

Bunge’s supply chains include both direct purchases from agricultural producers and purchases from third parties. Action expounded in the Producing Talent Chapter.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

Strategic Plans In 2017, we will focus our actions on three areas: value chain traceability development, identification and expansion of “Go Zones”20, and incentive development for a sustainable expansion. New processes will be added to commercial planning, hiring and governance. Regions with a high potential risk due to the change in land-use will be a priority. Principles and support The successful elimination of deforestation in agriculture will require aspects and commitments that are not applicable yet. Bunge will keep promoting these principles from every organizational level, in all of its communications and in its public participation. Our intention is to improve constantly. The goal: making important progress in the immediate future and fully achieving our purpose in every area between 2020 and 2025.

BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE TOGETHER WITH THE NATURE CONSERVANCY Model of Regenerative Investment in Natural Capital in the Southwest of Buenos Aires Four years ago, with the aim of reverting soil degradation and improving adaptation to climate change, TNC21 developed an agricultural and financial model that allows small and medium rural producers of the Southwest of Buenos Aires to receive a regular agricultural income and, at the same time create an improvement, through natural capital, of the ecological functions of their land and the region, indirectly strengthening the rural social fabric. This means that, in addition to being profitable, the agricultural activity to be carried out will need to adjust to long-term imperatives related to sustainability, always keeping investment in natural capital as a priority over short-term income.

Collaboration for Forests and Agriculture The goal of this program is to increase resources and strategic coordination to help market leaders implement commitments for deforestation-free beef and soy. Collaboration for Forests and Agriculture (CFA) aspires to reduce complexities and lower the costs associated with the implementation of those commitments. The project specifically focuses on the private sector and its voluntary commitments to implement production chains and/or deforestationfree supply in the Gran Chaco (in Argentina and Paraguay), and in Amazonia and Cerrado (in Brazil).

The model is at an advanced development stage. It could practically be implemented on large surfaces (100,000 hectares) in 2018/2019.

Balanced fertilization to increase production and quality while preserving the land Agriculture’s challenge is to keep increasing production and improving quality, and, at the same time, preserving the environment for future generations. During the last years, in Argentina, grain production and fertilizer consumption have come to a standstill. In that sense, the 2016 campaign marks a turning point because fertilizer consumption grew 40% (from 2.5 million tons in 2015 to 3.5 million tons in

2016), and 120 million tons of grains were produced, with a projection of 130 million tons in 2017. One of the reasons for this growth is the economic measures adopted by the current local government. These significantly improve competitiveness and the supply-product relations for every grain crop.

Continuous improvement of the environmental management Environmental Management Systems are useful tools to reduce and control environmental impacts. The ISO 14.001 international standard provides the requirements necessary to implement these systems, whose goal is to achieve a continuous improvement regarding environmental impacts that derive from production by identifying and managing environmental risks. The certification process of Bunge Southern Cone’s Environmental Management Systems is in progress. This reaffirms the commitment to protecting and preserving the environment. In 2016, San Jerónimo Sud Industrial Complex certified its system under the new version of the ISO 14.001:2015 standard, which focuses even more on life cycle analysis, environmental risk management, and environmental performance improvement.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Bunge conducts its business promoting the preservation of the environment, and does its best to achieve that to improve the wellbeing of the communities where it works.

both the adaptation to the place and the effluent were suitable, and it also enabled the design to be more effective at full scale. In 2017, we will continue our way to the final implementation. Carbon and Water Footprint Training Each and every one of our daily actions comes with a number of greenhouse emissions that, combined, make up our carbon footprint. Carbon footprint has a direct impact on the environment and climate change. Each and every one of our daily actions also comes with a water footprint. This footprint is the total volume of fresh water used to produce raw material, goods, and services. Bunge commits to determining the carbon footprint of its main products. This task entails the involvement of different links of the logistics and production chain. For this reason, a training session was held in the offices of Rosario, Argentina for representatives of several areas (Origination, Logistics, Food and Ingredients, Fertilizers, Production, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Environment) to understand said goal. This session was given by the Consejo Empresario Argentino para el Desarrollo Sustentable (CEADS). Artificial wetlands: imitating nature to purify effluents Artificial wetlands are engineering systems designed and built to remove water pollutants through natural processes. They are designed to take advantage of the processes that naturally take place in wetlands, but under controlled conditions. The study to implement this effluent treatment system in Campana Industrial Complex started in 2015. Through a technological transference agreement with expert researchers from Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL), studies were performed in the university laboratory to determine the most suitable wetland for a particular effluent. It also determined the substratum and the vegetable species that will best adapt to that effluent; in this case, liquid ammonia (NH4+). At this stage, the average removal was 90%. After performing the first stage, pilot-scale tests were carried out to assess in the field the performance of the vegetable species selected in the previous stage. Tests and trials continued in 2016, but they were not implemented at full scale. The delay was due to operational problems in the plant and adverse weather conditions. Despite these unexpected events, the vegetation development allowed for knowing that

Container management together with Campo Limpio Bunge and Asociación Civil Campo Limpio, from Uruguay, are partners. Campo Limpio manages the agrochemical and fertilizer containers that its associates use in the market, ensuring their final destination. Nowadays, it includes over 70 companies that import and/or formulate agrochemicals and fertilizers. In 2016, a total of more than 7.5% drums and more than 130% fertilizers bags were recovered by the organization compared to 2015. Campo Limpio’s management in 2016 prevented tons of plastic bags from being open burnt, which would have generated emissions equivalent to those produced by 1000 cars operating for one year.

XXI Century Rural School is an educational program run by Fundación e.dúcate Uruguay. It is supported by Reaching U and sponsored by Bunge Southern Cone. It focuses on strengthening the educational offer in the rural communities of Soriano Deparment. These organizations join forces to make sure that children and teenagers of the rural communities enjoy their right to education, and to deter child labor. XXI Century Rural School promotes a learning space implementing on-site workshops, online courses, process accompaniment, educational kits, classroom supplies, and new technologies. Using these technologies in class will foster a cultural and creative development that will provide an effective learning process for children.

FEEDBACK “A school that uses technology to go farther, to learn in depth, and to create with more freedom is a school of the XXI Century. It is a space where teachers and children can prepare for the future”. Mónica Girolami, Director Operations, e.dúcate Uruguay

Together with Fundación Córdoba Mejora, Bunge Southern Cone implemented, in Tancacha, Argentina, the Education Leader Training Program. It is based on a mentoring methodology, through which, for 3 years, corporate volunteers help high school directors develop management, planning and leadership skills, pedagogical innovation, and a link between School, Company and Community.

The support and development program for preschool level, which started in 2010, aimed at making the pupils of the 12 kindergartens of Bahía Blanca and Ingeniero White in Argentina live new playing experiences in accordance with the current curricular norms. In 2016, a program of training and refresher courses for teachers was conducted, which, in conjunction with the local officials of the provincial educational system, it was planned and delivered by subject matter experts who belong to the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI). Bunge Southern Cone, Bahía Blanca Terminal and Fundación Bunge y Born supported the proposal in order to enhance the educational offer of this schooling level.

HEALTH AND HEALTHY EATING

“As a food and ingredients supply company, teaching people to eat healthily is one of our goals”. Ramón Fernández Asenjo Bunge Southern Cone’s Food and Ingredients Director

Avia Terai with no Chagas With 8 to 12 million people infected in the Americas, Chagas disease constitutes the main infectious disease in terms of the burden disease generated due to disability. In Argentina there would be approximately from 1,6 to 2 million infected people and around 300,000 would suffer from heart and digestive disorders. The Great Chaco and adjacent areas extending over Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia are hyperendemic to Chagas disease, being the Triatoma Infestans the main vector, commonly referred to as vinchuca24 or chichá25. The unresolved problems shared by the whole region are the re-infestation observed after the residual application of pesticides in an attempt to eliminate the vector; the lack of a monitoring system to face this recurrent challenge that in a few years has taken back the control status to the pre-intervention level; and the big number of people infected by Trypanosoma cruzi26 with no access to serological diagnosis and etiological treatment, especially at rural and peri-urban levels.

domestic infestations in Avia Terai (Chaco province, Argentina) and the lessening of the disease burden in inhabitants through diagnosis and etiological treatment of the local residents. These objectives involve the development of a sustainable vector monitoring system based on wide local sector participation; access to serological diagnosis and etiological treatment to the local residents; and the strengthening of the local health and education systems. The program started in 2015 as per the agreement between Bunge Southern Cone and Fundación Bunge y Born to collaborate with Laboratorio Eco-Epidemiología (FCEN-UBA27 /CONICET28), in cooperation with the Nation and Chaco Province Chagas Control Programs and with the support of Chaco’s Ministry of Education in order to ensure the disease comprehensive approach in Avia Terai.

Hospital Management Bunge Southern Cone and Fundación Bunge y Born remain committed to Hospital Municipal de Tancacha, providing both counseling to the organization and space optimization in the Hospital Pharmacy Service in order to facilitate the storage and dispensing of medicinal products for in-patients and out-patients, thereby providing a better service. Furthermore, vaccination and healthy eating campaigns were conducted. Learning how to eat at kindergarten Fostering greater consumption of fruit and vegetables, water instead of sugary drinks and offering healthier alternative options to the consumption of cookies and sweets were the main objectives of the Healthy Eating Program, which was developed over two years in Jardín de Infantes Nº 57 of Puerto General San Martín, Argentina. That is how all the kindergarten pupils participated in the Little Cooks Workshop (Taller de Cocineritos) learning recipes and cooking by themselves. Along with their parents, the kids wrote the Traveling Recipe Book and now they have their own farm thanks to the help of their teachers and the Municipal Garden Center. A puppet show and the “Healthy Spring” workshop on the importance of snacks were carried out among other awareness and promotion activities.

Theater plays, musical shows and games in Puerto San Martín and Tancacha, Argentina were the activities suggested by Súpersaludable, a character who teaches how to eat healthily. A packed audience of kids and teenagers danced and had fun with songs, sketches, gags and games intended to improve the healthy habits of families. Fundación Bunge y Born and the Municipalities of Puerto San Martín and Tancacha provided Bunge with the necessary resources to bring this nationwide show to the communities.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT

“Investing in communities is one of the options that the Company takes into account to innovate and create more and better opportunities to help alleviate pressing issues like poverty”. Enrique Humanes Bunge Southern Cone’s CEO

Lighting Lives indigenous communities solar panels in homes and a school

Lighting Lives consists in providing Paraguay’s indigenous communities with renewable energy by installing solar panels. Energy is one of the necessary solutions to eradicate poverty and give these families a more decent life, since they will have electricity in their houses for the first time. Furthermore, this resource favors family economies, socially empowers community leaders, and respects the environmental balance.

Through their leaders, we worked with the families to raise awareness of the rational use of energy. They were trained in using that energy, in equipment maintenance, and, together with the experts, they installed the panels.

The program, which was developed with Fundación Paraguaya, benefited, in 2016, 10 homes and a school from the Ñande Yvy Pave (Peguajo Po’i) community, and 29 homes from the PaiTavytera (Hugau Ñandú) community. There are 48 pending installations for 2017. The overall goal of the project is to improve the life quality of the aforementioned indigenous communities. In order to measure that improvement, we use a methodology called “Poverty Stoplight”. This methodology is applied by Fundación Paraguaya at the beginning and at the end of the project, 6 months after the solar panel installation. https://www.facebook.com/pg/fundacionparaguaya/videos/?ref=page_internal

I Recycle Vegetable Oil Recycling Program: Bunge’s workers have been collecting used vegetable oil since 2013 to recycle it. Thanks to the logistical support of Fundación FIEM, five schools joined this program: four from San Jerónimo Sud and one from Puerto General San Martín. This used vegetable oil is a waste that, under a sustainable management, is processed in industrial plants to produce secondgeneration biofuel33. The economic, social and environmental benefits of collecting used oil are:

Economic • Avoids costs caused by blocked sewers and pipes • Facilitates the reutilization of water in purification plants

Social • Reduces health risks and bad odors

Environmental • Reduces health risks and bad odors • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions • Fosters the use of environmentally-friendly biofuel

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

The agrifood supply chain may be affected by weather, political and economic factors; at a local and international level; having an impact on both the Company and the communities. In order to reduce the manageable risks, Bunge Southern Cone commits to its supply chain to ensure its sustainability. • Origination customers (key raw material suppliers for all business units), who are more than 1,300 in the Southern Cone countries, are classified into natural persons and companies, and into brokers and direct customers34. At the same time, brokers have a great amount of customers35. 100% of the critical supplies for the Origination Management are provided by local suppliers.

“Supplier local development is key to the strategy of the agribusiness unit because the raw material reception sites are located in places that guarantee logistical efficiency”. Guillermo Marcotegui Bunge Southern Cone’s Origination Director It is very important to highlight the influence of our organization over the development of regional economies when hiring local suppliers. A local supplier is someone who adds value to products and services within the limits of the countries where the Company operates. That is why 97% of the non-production purchases belong to suppliers whose legal address is in the countries that are part of the Bunge Southern Cone region.

To Bunge, everything begins in the field. It builds strong relationships with farmers, country elevators and brokers, while obtaining oilseeds and grains that will be shipped worldwide. • In the Food and Ingredients business unit, the customers (raw material suppliers) were approximately 1,000 in the Southern Cone in 2016. 100% of the purchases in 2016 were made to local suppliers of the Southern Cone region. Active customers in the last link of the chain are divided by product, that is to say, rice and oil customers, animal nutrition customers, and glycerin, lecithin and oleine customers. • The Fertilizers Business Unit has more than 800 active customers in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. They are divided into the following categories: country elevators, agro-industry, agronomy, cooperative, business producers, traditional producers, industry, export and competitor. In 2016, a total of 1,163,489 tons of fertilizers were supplied to the market. • Non-productive purchases suppliers, who are those that provide Bunge with goods and services that contribute to support the productive system, directly or indirectly. Bunge Southern Cone appreciates its suppliers. Its supplier choices are based on the quality of products and services, costs, trust, and experience.

COMMITMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS In 2016, San Jerónimo Sud Industrial Complex was audited following the ethical business protocol for Sedex (SMETA) members. Since it complied with the standard, it became a sustainable supplier for any buyer. This way, the Audit of the Sustainable Supply Program of one of our main Food and Ingredients customer was completed. It obtained the best possible score (GREEN score: 100%) and it showed outstanding results in the responsible hiring and social compliance area. It also strongly supported the Supplier Ethical Code.

Bunge Southern Cone’s direct customers are farming producers, country elevators and consignees. Brokers’ customers are also farming producers, country elevators and consignees.

ORIGINATION PRACTICES It is important to emphasize that Argentina’s grain market is globally recognized for its levels of commercialization transparency. 93% of the soy purchases that Bunge made in 2016 in Argentina are within the regulatory framework known as “factory conditions”. This type of condition is the one used to negotiate 90% of the soy available in the country, and it is the raw material to produce oil and soybean meal. The soy that is purchased to be exported as bean (that is to say, without being processed) accounts for 7% and its commercialized under “chamber conditions”. Also, 100% of corn, wheat, forage barley and sorghum is bought under “chamber conditions”.

MONITORING AND TRACEABILITY: MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Sustainable biofuel and biomass

ISCC certification The goal of the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) scheme, certified by Bunge Southern Cone, is to establish an international system that is practicable and transparent to validate the biomass and bioenergy that come from sustainable resources. The ISCC system seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, foster a sustainable land use, protect natural habitats, and guarantee social sustainability. RFS II Program The United States Congress created the RFS II (Renewable Fuel Standard II) Program in an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions and expand the production of renewable fuels, and, in this way, reduce the dependence on imported oil. We are working to implement this program in Argentina in order to comply with the regulations. The verifications cover the entire value chain: the field, country elevators, grain-crushing facilities, and biodiesel production plants.

2BSvs certification Bunge Southern Cone complies with the 2BSvs voluntary scheme. This certification mainly guarantees that the traceability of the sustainable production of biomass and biofuel meets the requirements established by the European Renewable Energy Directive to be used within the European Union. The certification scope is the commercialization of soy produced in Argentina and Paraguay. Bunge Southern Cone has a significant country elevator network that complies with the protocol. This certification has a 5-year validity, and it is annually audited.

• Creation of the internal auditing team • Planning and execution of the internal audits to detect errors before the certification audit • Error correction

Continuous improvement By the end of 2015, we started to analyze the viability of replacing 50-kilo bags with 25-kilo bags for granular urea to adapt them to the current ergonomic sizes, and to improve the load and download. As part of this analysis, at the beginning of 2016, a survey was conducted among the main customers that buy products in bags. The results showed a 91% positive perception.

• The certifying entity controls the sustainability of the production chain using procedure instructions and checklists. • Error correction within 40 days

Results of the 2016 Bunge Employee Engagement Survey for Bunge Southern Cone.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

In 2016, just like in 2015, there were no recorded cases of discrimination in Bunge Southern Cone.

The goal is for percentages that indicate workers by gender to equate. This is achieved by having an organizational culture that appeals to everyone. When we talk about Diversity and Inclusion, we mean: better financial results, higher corporate reputation indexes, lower involuntary staff turnover, higher customer and supplier satisfaction, and better work team performance.

In 2016, just like in 2015, there were no recorded cases of discrimination in Bunge Southern Cone. At Bunge, diversity management comprises all those policies and practices intended to generate participation contexts which consider the needs and include the wide variety of actors that interact with the organization.

INCLUSIVE TOYS TO CELEBRATE CHILDREN’S DAY Bunge has celebrated children’s day for over 15 years. In 2016, taking into account that diversity management is a priority, inclusive gifts were given. The distinctive feature of these gifts is that they can be used by boys and girls, and they have a dynamic that includes children with any individuality. These toys help us understand human diversity and build a better world. Over 1,800 children received an inclusive gift!

Inclusion at work for intellectually disabled people: Engagement Program There are not many job offers for disabled people. There are even fewer for people who are intellectually disabled. However, creating jobs for disabled people is one of the protected rights par excellence, mainly fostered by local legislation. The Engagement Program (Programa Compromiso) of Bunge Southern Cone is based on these premises and, within its corporate social responsibility management it offers work opportunities for this part of society. It has been a part of our Recruiting and Selection Policy since 2013.

To assure the effective inclusion of intellectually disabled people, the Program is based on the “Employment with Support” methodology. By means of self-determination, which is the core of inclusion, the beneficiaries have the possibility to be assisted through task adaptation, learning facilitation, training, and continuous accompaniment throughout the course of the Program. Their colleagues, supervisors and work teams also receive counsel to support the inclusive program.

Training, Self-Development and Performance managed using a single tool

people@bunge is an integrated global solution. It is a tool that can track personal performance, manage by individual or group goals, manage compensations, and access online training. people@bunge also allows us to create and update the professional profile of every employee. Based on these profiles, we create, supervise and support the implementation of the selfdevelopment plans. This new tool also provides managers with other virtues: understanding workers’ career aspirations, discussing short-term and long-term professional goals, and working with them to create a professional development plan. Implemented in 2013, people@bunge suggests updating and innovating in a constant manner to achieve a global, efficient and corporate Human Capital management, and to have self-development possibilities. This confirms the role that Human Resources plays as a business strategic ally.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT Knowing what workers think in a certain moment helps Bunge Southern Cone build a better place to work. This process takes place every two years. Its name is Bunge Employee Engagement Survey39. Its main feature is that it is carried out simultaneously in every country where Bunge works, and over 16,000 workers participate. In 2016, Bunge Southern Cone was part of this action, whose goal is to keep making sure that the workers are in line with the objectives of the Company. It also investigates their commitment and motivation to deliver a better performance.

The results showed a substantially greater favorability perception in comparison with the results of 2014. In order to keep strengthening the work environment, the 2017-2018 management will focus on: the development of an active listening to employees’ interests and expectations, and the consolidation of a self-development culture.

ETHICS, CONDUCT AND REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE

Working with the highest standards of ethics and integrity is what makes our customers, shareholders, employees and everyone else trust the Company and its future. This is essential to build our reputation, no matter where we operate. Bunge strives to achieve its commercial goals with integrity and in compliance with the law, regardless of the place where it works. The Company complies with the laws created to prevent bribery and corruption, including the Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy, in accordance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Internal Management At Bunge, integrity is at the core of how we conduct business in the global marketplace. As part of its commitment to work with the highest business integrity standards, the Company developed an anti-corruption framework that consists of the AntiCorruption Compliance Policy and Procedures for its workers. This framework helps to guarantee law and regulation compliance in the countries where it works. Workers must read, understand and agree with the policy to avoid involuntary infractions and to recognize potential problems in time to address them properly.

Furthermore, Bunge has a Code of Conduct that stipulates rules to: • Avoid and prevent conflicts of interest: personal investments, corporate opportunities, commercial relationships, gifts and bonuses, confidential information, acquisitions, loans and gifts from other companies. • Comply with applicable laws and regulations. • Act with honesty and integrity. • Protect and use Bunge’s assets in a proper manner. Every company worker, whether it is a full-time, part-time or temporary worker, is bound to comply with the Code, the internal procedures and policies, and every applicable law and regulation of the place where it operates. The Code also governs Bunge’s Board of Directors regarding activities performed in the name of the Company. Consultants, contractors, and other business partners are also expected to follow the principles of this Code. Lastly, there is also the Blue Book, which expresses what the Company is like, how it works, and the benefits it offers to the community.


SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

Company workers are expected to keep the highest ethical standards in business conduct, display good judgment, and seek advice when issues arise. Bunge has the Global Ethics and Compliance (GEC) area, which is in charge of counseling on ethical matters. South America has a regional team, whose headquarters is in Brazil. The Company provides various resources to ask questions. The workers can choose any of the following resources whenever they want: • Their boss, or any other superior they trust • Human Resources • Legal Department • Global Ethics and Compliance Team • Ethics Hotline These situations have to be reported: • Theft, fraud, or any other dishonest conduct • Bribery or corruption • Conflicts of interest • Harassment or discrimination • Accounting or financial irregularities • Health and safety in the workplace • Drug or alcohol abuse in the workplace • Violence or intimidating conduct • Code of Conduct, internal policies or law violations

The ethics hotline provides two formal channels to file a complaint, ask questions, or express concern regarding ethical issues: a multilingual website or several free phone lines, available 24 hours. The direct line has consultants of an independent supplier. It is available 24/7. To the extent possible, confidentiality will be kept, depending on the investigation and solution needs.

1,015 out of 1,016 workers completed the online training in Code of Conduct in 2016. That is to say, a 99.9% of response rate.

Furthermore, face-to-face trainings were provided in different work sites of the Southern Cone for workers to stay alert to corruption risks, and to remember the basic and necessary items of the Code of Conduct with which they have to comply. In 2016, for example, Bunge Paraguay (Asunción and Ciudad del Este) carried out a face-to-face training in the Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy and the Code of Conduct. Bunge strictly forbids retaliations against people that report concerns in good faith. Every year, the Global Ethics and Compliance department provides a global online training in Bunge’s Code of Conduct, as well as a certification. All Bunge workers with an available email address perform the training. The training contains a section which explains what a conflict of interest is, an example is shown and workers are requested to state if they are involved in a conflict of interest or in a potential controversial situation. Workers can file a deposition by filling out the corresponding form.

Every 2 years, a global fraud risk and ethics assessment is carried out. It is a survey for several key positions in Bunge aimed at identifying business inherent risks. In 2016, 259 answers were obtained in Bunge Southern Cone that allowed for identifying the aforementioned risks. These were classified into 4 groups: 1- Receipt process and grain classification, 2- Supplier preference and/or tender processes not aligned with purchase policies and process, 3- Failure to conduct a study prior to hiring new employees, and 4- System problems in the correct access and flow of approvals. With these results, a risk map was drawn to know what areas and situations are important to mitigate any type of irregular situation.

On the other hand, there is a global third party risk assessment in place, implemented in Paraguay and Argentina in 2016. The program analyzes suppliers40 that may be linked to or interact with public officials. In 2016, 70 eligible suppliers were selected. They replied to a questionnaire, and each area of the contracting business analyzed the answers to see if they continue working at Bunge or not.

know the relative importance assigned to each issue. The relevance of 33 issues was requested, including economic, social, environmental aspects and specific issues of the Food sector.

To identify the main topics, the Communications and Human Resources Management, in charge of the Relationships with the Community area, reviewed the aspects suggested by the GRI Standards41 and the Food sector supplement of the GRI G4 version. Furthermore, the Management included aspects arisen from the sustainability context analysis and the talks held with stakeholders throughout the year.

Once the materiality matrix was determined, we selected the relevant indicators to be included in the report.

To determine the relevant topics to be included in the report, the Executive Committee and some members of Bunge Limited were invited to reply to an online survey that allowed us to know the importance of every topic to Bunge Southern Cone’s strategy. Other stakeholders took part in this survey, for example, customers, civil society organizations, workers, suppliers, business partners, chambers and administrations. Thanks to it, we were able to

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2016

EXTERNAL ASSURANCE REPORT TO BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE1 S.A.’S BOARD We have been hired to perform an independent verification of the Sustainability Report, for the period between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2016, of BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE. We have compiled evidence on the following aspects: - Key indicators on management during the financial year - Information provided by the Firm’s Sustainability area - Information about the Firm’s Management Systems BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE is responsible for both the information included in the report and the verification criteria. Our responsibility has been to report independently based on our information analysis procedures. For that purpose, we use the procedures established in technical resolution (RT37) of FAPCE that defines the scope of assessment tasks to be performed over other assurance engagements, as in the case of this type of report.

- Information coming from stakeholders identified by the Firm within its sphere of influence. Our work team has included qualified professionals in the verification of sustainability aspects, according to the guidelines suggested by GRI. According to our opinion, based on the work described in this report, and on the defined scope, nothing of the information contained in the Sustainability Report for BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE’s 2016 fiscal year has come to our attention to refute that such information gives a true and fair view of the performance and activities carried out by the Firm with regard to Sustainability. Policies, documents, indicators and other information included in this report are reasonably supported by documentation, internal processes and activities, and information provided by stakeholders. The revision process allowed us to identify a series of issues that we submitted to BUNGE SOUTHERN CONE on a separate document, which includes our independent opinion on areas of improvement.

We have defined our scope as a limited assurance engagement. Our procedures to select verification criteria and evidences included: - Checking the alignment with the basic contents suggested by the Global Reporting Initiative - GRI Standards for the preparation of sustainability reports. - Performing fundamental tests designed to show, based on sampling, the reasonability and consistency of the preparation criteria and basis of the Corporate Social Responsibility Report.
