27 Cargill 2020 Annual Report Collective effort GRI 102-12 For Cargill, finding sustainable solutions for the complex issues arising from its production in Brazil implies in collec- tive action from the sector - partners, direct and indirect suppliers, groups of farmers, competitors, clients and gov- ernments with the collaboration of technical agencies to disseminate knowledge among all participants. We work with sector associations, industrial groups and renown insti- tutions in order to provide expertise to support our supply chains and protect forests and indigenous vegetation. Some are listed below: Associação Brasileira de Produtores de Óleos Vegetais (Abiove) - Founded in 1981, the Brazilian Association of the Vegetable Oil Industries (Abiove) rep- resents companies that produce bran, vegetable oils and biodiesel, cooperate in sanctioning sector policies, promote sustainability programs and generate statistical data used in studies of the sector. Soy Work Group (GTS - Grupo de Trabalho da Soja) - We actively participate in the voluntary sector agreement of the Soy Moratorium, celebrated in 2006, by means of which companies commit to not commercialize nor finance soy produced in areas that have been deforested in the Amazon biome after 2008, even if the deforestation was legal. Besides the sector associations - Associação das Indústrias de Óleo Vegetal (Abiove) and Associação Nacional dos Exportadores de Cereais (Anec) the group includes financial institutions - and environmental protection organizations - TNC, World Wildlife Fund WWF), Greenpeace, Conservation International and the Amazon Environmental Research Institute. Cerrado Work Group (GTC - Grupo de Trabalho do Cerrado) - An initiative that joins companies, governments, banks and consumer brands with the purpose of finding solutions that conciliate soy production with the conserva- tion of the cerrado and social, environmental and economic development interests. Soja Plus - Being members of Abiove, we are part of the Soja Plus initiative, the largest rural producer engagement program in the country, created to disseminate best prac- tices and environmental conservancy, and promote pro- ducer and worker rights and wellbeing in the soy chain by means of technical assistance. The program has already reached more than 6,200 producers in Brazil, visited 2,841 rural properties and will expand this impact along 2021. Cargill's contribution is focused on the states of Minas Gerais, Goiás and Maranhão.

Soft Commodities Forum (SCF) - A global platform of food commodities companies created to sponsor the advancement of collective actions for the common sustainability challenges as those faced in South America. SCF members have agreed to share the same format to report and monitor progress regarding transparency and traceability in the soy supply chain in the cer- rado region. Forestry and Agricultural Certification and Management Institute (Imaflora - Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola) - We work with the institution to translate and distribute the Application Guide of the New Forest Code for Rural Properties in Brazil. Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) - Cargill is a mem- ber of RTRS, a work group dedicated to implement sustainable metrics for the global soy production market. The group counts on members of the agricultural and financial market and on NGOs acting to promote practices for the sector that are sus- tainable from an economic, social and environmental standpoint. International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) and Biomass Biofuels Sustainability voluntary scheme (2BSvs) - We participate in sustainable soy certifi- cation programs acknowledged by the European Union. We have certified soy supply chains in the United States, Canada, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil according to one or more of these models. Several of our facilities have obtained ISCC certification.
