As a long-standing leader in the acquisition and management of farmland and other agricultural assets, International Farming (together with its affiliates, “I.F.”) is acutely aware of the importance of employing sustainable environmental, social, and governance practices (“ESG”) across its business. Seeking to address ESG issues is a critical factor in achieving attractive and sustainable outcomes for its clients, staff, and other stakeholders. The purpose of I.F.’s Sustainability Policy (the “Policy”) is to serve as a guide for I.F. staff by articulating the scope, objectives, and structures through which I.F. seeks to address these issues. It is also intended to provide transparency and a framework for further discussion with clients, strategic partners, and other stakeholders on these important issues.

This Policy encompasses I.F.’s ongoing activity with respect to the acquisition, improvement, and management of farmland and related agricultural assets. The Policy is intended to cover all such assets while recognizing that applying all aspects of the Policy to assets acquired prior to the Policy’s development may require additional time or alternative approaches. The Policy is also intended to encompass I.F.’s internal management and operating activities.

Covered Individuals: This Policy is directly applicable to all I.F. staff in conducting their individual and collective responsibilities. The Policy recognizes that the cooperation of external partners (e.g. farmland tenants) not directly controlled by I.F. is necessary to achieve the Policy’s objectives. Recognizing this, there are aspects of farmland management that touch ESG considerations that may be outside the firm’s control. In such instances, the Policy is intended to guide I.F. staff in pursuing its sustainability objectives through engagement with such partners on relevant topics while, also, recognizing the distinct rights, responsibilities, and interests of such external partners.

I.F.’s approach to sustainability generally, and ESG factors individually, are grounded in the following principles and values:

1. The productive capacity and long-term value of farmland is maximized through stewardship and farming practices which protect and/or enhance soil health and conservation, water quality and availability, and interdependent ecosystems.

2. Global trends including, but not limited to, climate change, technology, nutrition, and economic development will have profound impacts on agriculture and food supply chains. Anticipating and responding to these trends presents an attractive investment opportunity.

3. Equitably addressing the interests of diverse stakeholders including, but not limited, to labor and local communities, is a critical element in maintaining the robust agricultural ecosystem in which I.F. operates.

I.F.’s sustainability related activities are intended to support the achievement of several complementary objectives across its business. These include:

1. Investment Performance: Enhance the long-term risk adjusted investment performance of the assets I.F. acquires and manages on behalf of its investment management clients.

2. Reputation: Continue to be recognized by all relevant stakeholders as a respected participant, attractive partner and thought leader within the markets in which it chooses to participate.

3. Organization: Enable and empower I.F.’s staff to effectively fulfill their individual and collective responsibilities to clients, each other, and other stakeholders while strengthening the organization through a common culture and purpose.

In some situations, achieving an optimal sustainability outcome on one or more dimensions may not be feasible or may conflict with other objectives. In such instances, I.F. considers the totality of I.F. ’s sustainability objectives as well as other factors such as its fiduciary responsibilities, short term vs. long term investment performance, organizational capacity, profitability, reputation, strategic relationships, legal constraints, and regulatory requirements.

The identification, analysis, and management of relevant sustainability factors across I.F.’s business must continually evolve due to numerous dynamic factors spanning scientific, environmental, social, regulatory, and commercial dimensions. Generally, I.F. will prioritize its activity across the following broad areas of focus in addressing sustainability issues over time. These are summarized below:

Protection and/or Improvement of Natural Resources: Protecting and/or improving the natural resources associated with Covered Assets including soil health, soil conservation, water quality and availability, air quality, and the biodiversity of ecosystems.

Sustainable Agricultural Practices: Utilizing and/or promoting sustainable agricultural practices which maintain and/or increase the long-term productivity of I.F. controlled farmland. In addition, I.F. seeks to support the ongoing improvement of the quality, efficiency and availability of food and other products utilizing crops grown on I.F. farmland.

Community Respect and Resilience: Respecting the rights and interests of the diverse communities and stakeholders potentially impacted by I.F. ’s activities. This includes supporting the economic resilience of local communities, recognizing the distinct legal rights and cultural interests of indigenous peoples, and considering the positive or negative impact that I.F. activities may have on these and other stakeholders.

Fair, Respectful, and Inclusive Labor Practices: Establishing and fostering organizational practices that enable I.F. to access, develop and retain individuals with the diverse skill sets and experiences required to fulfill its sustainability and other goals.

I.F. addresses issues of sustainability as an integrated component of the processes and systems utilized to conduct its activities. This approach embeds the identification, consideration, and response to sustainability issues within each of the core areas of I.F. ’s activities. These areas include:

Investment Process: I.F.’s investment staff (the “Investment Team”) seek to identify and evaluate relevant material sustainability issues in the process of sourcing, underwriting, and executing investments. In conducting its activities, the investment staff relies upon other I.F. specialist staff (e.g. agronomists) and, when warranted, external service providers.

Farm Management and Agronomy: I.F.’s farm management and agronomy staff (the “Agricultural Services Team”) are key to achieving its sustainability objectives. These staff members provide critical input to the investment team in evaluating assets for acquisition and developing post-acquisition plans for each asset. The Agricultural Services Team also address issues of sustainability across its areas of responsibility. These areas include: ongoing monitoring of farmland assets; selecting, contracting and engaging with tenants; researching and promoting sustainable agricultural practices and; executing improvements to farmland assets.

Corporate Functions: I.F.’s corporate functions such as operations, human resources, legal and compliance, and finance address issues of sustainability within their respective areas of activity. For example, I.F. ’s human resource practices incorporate factors such as diversity, equity and inclusion within its hiring and retention strategies. Similarly, the firm’s legal and compliance staff seek to ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements.

I.F. employs a diverse set of frameworks, resources, and processes in pursuit of its sustainability objectives. These will evolve over time through a dynamic firm-wide approach to sustainability but core aspects of the firm’s approach include:

Maintaining/Building Organizational Capacity: I.F. believes that issues of sustainability must be addressed by individuals across nearly all of the firm’s functions and geographies. This requires that I.F. attract, develop and retain individuals with a diverse set of skills, and provide them with the resources they require to successfully fulfill their responsibilities. The I.F. organization pursues its sustainability objectives through a combination of employing professionals with specific expertise in topics of sustainability, and enabling staff with expertise in other areas to effectively address relevant sustainability topics in the course of their general responsibilities. In instances where additional expertise or resources are required, internal resources are supplemented with specialized 3rd party service providers.

Monitoring Progress and Pursuing Continuous Improvement: A key element of I.F.’s management philosophy and organizational culture is an emphasis on continual learning and improvement. As a result, I.F. is committed to capturing and monitoring its performance on sustainability metrics and seeking to improve outcomes over time.

Collaboration and Partnerships: I.F. seeks to collaborate with strategic partners and others in the industry to support the further development and adoption of sustainable practices across the markets in which it participates.

Decision making and oversight of activities involving sustainability related risks or opportunities resides within the existing organizational structures and processes governing the relevant scope of activity. These organizational structures and their illustrative sustainability oversight responsibilities include:

Executive Leadership & Partners: I.F. ’s Executive Team and Partners meet formally to discuss firmwide goals, resource needs, strategic initiatives, and sustainability items that include; establishing firm level sustainability policy, ensuring desired employment practices, allocating resources to achieve sustainability objectives, prioritizing corporate social responsibility activities, maintaining legal and regulatory compliance, fulfilling firm level sustainability commitments (e.g. Leading Harvest, UNPRI), taking on additional sustainability related commitments or representations.

Investment Committee: Identification and consideration of relevant material sustainability related risks or opportunities as new investments are reviewed for approval, incorporation of relevant near or long-term sustainability related objectives or activities (e.g. environmental mitigations or enhancements) within the execution plan for each investment.

Working Groups and Execution Committees: I.F. ’s culture supports establishment of working groups that formally meet to evaluate sustainability relayed risks or opportunities, develop execution plans, and make recommendations to Executive Leadership if appropriate.

To provide additional accountability and opportunities for collaboration, I.F. participates in various 3rd party programs requiring periodic evaluation by and/or reporting to 3rd parties such as the Leading Harvest Sustainable Farmland Management Standards, and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (“UNPRI”). I.F. views such participation, evaluation and reporting as an additional opportunity to monitor and improve its ESG performance.

I.F. seeks to provide its clients, staff and, other stakeholders with visibility into the ways in which it addresses issues of sustainability across its business. Mechanisms for providing such transparency include making this Policy available to current and prospective clients, responding to client queries regarding issues of sustainability, and reporting upon I.F. ’s progress in achieving its sustainability objectives through periodic and ad-hoc reporting.

Finally, I.F. recognizes that sustainability is an evolving topic for stakeholders with diverse perspectives and interests. As a result, I.F. welcomes constructive dialogue with its clients and other stakeholders on these topics.

Climate change poses a material risk to agricultural resources and our food value chain in several critical ways. At a high level, climate change can result in more extreme temperature fluctuations and weather events, which can lead to a contraction or expansion of crop growing regions, exacerbate flooding and droughts, influence pest and disease outbreaks, disrupt supply chains, and lead to more heat waves and cold snaps.

At I.F. we are working to do our part to address risk, reduce the impact, and adapt to climate change in the agriculture industry in which we work. To this end, we support the international community’s efforts to create a legally binding international treaty on climate change through The Paris Agreement.
