Sanford adopts ESG World Platform

New Zealand seafood company Sanford Limited (NZX:SAN) has adopted the ESG World Platform, allowing shareholders and stakeholders to readily review Sanford’s Environmental, Social and Governance progress and status. The Platform enables stakeholders to identify status and progress against a wide range of ESG factors, which are aligned with the various ESG frameworks operating globally.

Peter Reidie, Sanford CEO says the ESG profile pulls together factors from a wide range of company documentation including annual reports, policies, announcements, and charters, and that the profile complements disclosures made in its annual Integrated Report.

“Operating in a sustainable fashion is fundamental to our business. We invest in our people, our assets, and the communities in which we operate, to achieve our goals across our five performance outcomes, environment; people; community; customers and operational excellence. The ESG World Platform provides additional transparency by simplifying access to the range of data we collate and provide about our performance in these areas.”

Sanford’s GM of Sustainability, Dr Peter Longdill says the one-stop-shop nature of the ESG World Platform makes it an appealing tool for current or potential investors.

“Our investors typically view sustainable practices as essential, along with excellence in our people processes and best practice in governance. The advantage of the ESG World Platform is it provides a framework where we can compile key environmental, social, and governance information in one location and make it readily available for our stakeholders.”

Sanford’s ESG profile can be found on the Sanford website under the “Investors” tab and is anticipated to be updated annually. Viewers can download ESG-related reports from the portal.
