Supporting Statement:Supporting Statement: As long term stockholders, we favor policies and practices that protect and enhance the value of our investments. There is increasing recognition that company risks related to human rights violations, such as reputational damage, project delays and disruptions, and litigation, can adversely affect shareholder value. To manage such risks effectively, companies must assess the risks to shareholder value posed by human rights practices in their operations and supply chain. The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights urge that business enterprises should carry out human rights due diligence. (http www.ohchr.org Documents Publications GuidingPrinciplesBusinessHR EN.pdf) Newmont's business model exposes the company to significant human rights risks. The importance of adequate human rights due diligence to manage that risk effectively is highlighted by Newmont's operations in Peru. Newmont commissioned an evaluation of compliance with international human rights standards in Peru, where Newmont and its majority owned subsidiary Minera Yanacocha are engaged in a conflict with a local family over access to and use of land. (http www.resolv.org site yiffm files 2015 08 YIFFM report 280916 Final.pdf) That evaluation found * material gaps in conformance to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights NB Newmont has committed to the Principles, which provide a framework for companies to maintain the security of their operations while ensuring respect for human rights. * Minera Yanacocha's failure to conduct adequate human rights due diligence is one factor that has contributed to a situation where the human rights of the family have been at risk from the outset of the land dispute and have continued to be put at risk as the conflict has unfolded. Newmont states that its actions and philosophies with regard to human rights reflect the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights due diligence processes.
