Ambatovy established a multi�stakeholder process called Joint Fact Finding �JFF� to address community concerns and to come to a common understanding of disputed technical information or facts� JFF involves subject�matter experts� decision� makers and key stakeholders working collaboratively to address community concerns� reach conclusions and recommend actions� These efforts have been very successful in improving communication and building trust and credibility between our operations and the community by correcting misinformation� addressing rumours and resolving disputes� Our first JFF addressed a community concern regarding air emissions from our plant and led to efforts to educate local residents and dispel fears regarding the emissions and whether they could have an adverse effect on community health� In ����� we retained a consultant to perform a review of the JFF process to evaluate its effectiveness and to recommend improvements� Opportunities for improvement include� strengthening internal alignment within Ambatovy to ensure everyone involved has a common understanding of any particular issue that needs to be resolved� and communicating more effectively with communities by using less scientific language� which generally does not resonate well with them� The evaluation report also prioritized topics that could be addressed through the JFF approach� such as impacted land along the pipeline and mine lease area incursions � both of which have potential to be a source of conflict with the community� We have implemented a range of programs and have made support tools available to local businesses and entrepreneurs so they can provide our Ambatovy operation with goods and services that meet our standards of procurement and quality.
