HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The primary objective of the Assessment is to improve the opportunities for the company to
operate responsibly and profitably in Guatemala by ensuring that the company has in place and is implementing effectively, policies and procedures designed to mitigate human rights impacts
or potential conflicts with internationally recognized human rights standards and norms given
the context in Guatemala. The assessment will gather information from local communities and
stakeholders, review the companys policies and procedures that are relevant to the respect for
human rights, and assess the current status of the implementation of those policies and
procedures (i.e., the impacts of those policies and procedures in the human rights context of
Guatemala). It is expected that the assessment process and resulting recommendations will
inform company policies, procedures and performance in other regions of operation.
