The prin- ciples set forth by this manifesto are incorporated in our policies and systems and are one of the foundations of the codes of conduct that determine how our employees and suppliers should act when exercising their activities. All contracts and agreements signed by the company have clauses addressing issues related to this topic, such as eradication of slave and child work and other illegal prac- tices. To follow the fulfillment of these commitments, we maintain agreements with governmental initiatives and NGOS dedicated to defending human rights. GRI 103-2, 103-3 |408, GRI 103-2, 103-3 |409 At a global level, Cargill designs a corporate strategy for human rights intended for our chains, which conclusion is expected in 2021. Action implementation will be done in a local fashion. GRI 103-2, 103-3 |412 We are committed to treat people with dignity and respect at work and in the communities where we do business. Cargill is a signatory of the international commitments proposed by the UN by means of its global headquarters and other organisms to ensure promotion and respect to human rights in the corporate environment. In Brazil, we are signatories of the National Compact Against Slave Labor since 2006. All suppliers must follow the Supplier Code of Conduct in which we do not tolerate any type of violation against human rights. In Brazil, we support initiatives that unite the private sector, government and civil society organizations to prevent and eradicate slave labor in productive chains. Our procurement sector is connected to the National Compact Institute to Eradicate Slave Labor (InPacto), which provides an auto- mated system that blocks any employer present in the "dirty list" regarding slave labor, published by the Ministry of Labor. This system makes it impossible to buy, sign contracts or receive goods from companies or natural people included in this list. GRI 409-1, 412-1 We are also signatories of the Mão Certa Program since 2007. Na Mão Certa, developed by Childhood Brazil, is a Corporate Compact against Child and Teenager Sexual Exploitation along Brazilian Highways. In this way, we are engaged in fighting child and teenager sexual exploitation on Brazilian waterways and highways. We are together with Childhood in its strategy to develop awareness among our truck fleet drivers and vessel crew members regarding the seriousness of this problem. In 2020, classroom campaigns were suspended due to the pandemic and adapted to the online format. GRI 408-1 Our union relations policy covers topics related to union freedom and collective bargaining and in it is our commit- ment to maintain a respectful and harmonious relationship with unions, by sharing in a clear and transparent fashion all aspects of collective bargaining with our employees. Management of union freedom is evaluated and monitored by area managers, during times in which employees are informed about the progress of negotiations, with the sup- port from the HR area.
