The Company’s risk mapping process is carried out periodically to identify any new risks, which will be regulated in specific and specific normative documents, whether arising from legislative changes or internal changes in the Company, such as interaction with Public Authority, new partnerships, and entry into new markets, where there may be particularly high and systemic risks of human rights abuses, thus requiring specific due diligence. This continuous monitoring allows BRF to respond in an adequate and timely manner to identified new risks." […] "BRF reserves the right at any moment to verify if the Business Partners are obeying the rules previewed in this Code. In case it is verified actions or omissions that breach any disposition here described, BRF can demand correction action is taken for the Partners or declare the contract terminated at exclusive criteria of BRF, depending on the severity of the violation."

[Translation] "The Programme of Monitoring of the supply chain reaches partners and has the mission of controlling socio-environmental risks and disseminating an ethical and responsible business model. Through it, quality audits are carried out, disclosure of the Code of Conduct for Suppliers, consultations with public data and insertion of specific requirements in contractual clauses. The documents that form the basis of the program are the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and the Related Parties Term. If there is any disagreement, the case will be analyzed according to the particularity of each situation. In case of a problem that we consider serious, the contract can be canceled. The assessment of the main suppliers takes into account aspects of quality, service, sustainability, compliance and economic-financial criteria. Various public documents are used for the evaluation of partners, for example lists of embargoed areas of the Brazilian Institute for renewable natural resources and the environment, transparency list about contemporary slave labour by inPacto, data from the Ministry of Work and the national register of unlawful and suspended companies (CEIS) by the transparency portal."

If the suppler is present in any of these lists, he has his registration blocked by the system for future negotiations, until his situation is regularized with the institution and proven by a negative certificate." [Translation] "The Programme of Monitoring of the supply chain reaches partners and has the mission of controlling socio-environmental risks and disseminating an ethical and responsible business model. Through it, quality audits are carried out, disclosure of the Code of Conduct for Suppliers, consultations with public data and insertion of specific requirements in contractual clauses. The documents that form the basis of the program are the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and the Related Parties Term. If there is any disagreement, the case will be analyzed according to the particularity of each situation. In case of a problem that we consider serious, the contract can be canceled. The assessment of the main suppliers takes into account aspects of quality, service, sustainability, compliance and economic-financial criteria. Various public documents are used for the evaluation of partners, for example lists of embargoed areas of the Brazilian Institute for renewable natural resources and the environment, transparency list about contemporary slave labour by inPacto, data from the Ministry of Work and the national register of unlawful and suspended companies (CEIS) by the transparency portal."

The Company’s risk mapping process is carried out periodically to identify any new risks, which will be regulated in specific and specific normative documents, whether arising from legislative changes or internal changes in the Company, such as interaction with Public Authority, new partnerships, and entry into new markets, where there may be particularly high and systemic risks of human rights abuses, thus requiring specific due diligence. This continuous monitoring allows BRF to respond in an adequate and timely manner to identified new risks." […] "BRF reserves the right at any moment to verify if the Business Partners are obeying the rules previewed in this Code. In case it is verified actions or omissions that breach any disposition here described, BRF can demand correction action is taken for the Partners or declare the contract terminated at exclusive criteria of BRF, depending on the severity of the violation."

          "We have a complex monitoring of the whole process to ensure that our quality assumptions and sustainability are replicated for about of 37 thousand suppliers around the planet. From grain purchases to freight and logistics services, we monitor partners to ensure ethical, sustainable, transparent and 100% aligned with our objectives [...] Every fortnight, BRF crosses information on the public lists of Brazil, The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Renewable Resources (Ibama), the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) and National Register of Inertial and Suspended Companies (CEIS) with its supplier base. If the suppler is present in any of these lists, he has his registration blocked by the system for future negotiations, until his situation is regularized with the institution and proven by a negative certificate." [Translation] "The Programme of Monitoring of the supply chain reaches partners and has the mission of controlling socio-environmental risks and disseminating an ethical and responsible business model. Through it, quality audits are carried out, disclosure of the Code of Conduct for Suppliers, consultations with public data and insertion of specific requirements in contractual clauses. The documents that form the basis of the program are the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and the Related Parties Term. If there is any disagreement, the case will be analyzed according to the particularity of each situation. In case of a problem that we consider serious, the contract can be canceled. The assessment of the main suppliers takes into account aspects of quality, service, sustainability, compliance and economic-financial criteria. Various public documents are used for the evaluation of partners, for example lists of embargoed areas of the Brazilian Institute for renewable natural resources and the environment, transparency list about contemporary slave labour by inPacto, data from the Ministry of Work and the national register of unlawful and suspended companies (CEIS) by the transparency portal."
