Introduction

This report is furnished pursuant to P.L. 1987, c. 177 (the “Act”) and includes a summary of U.S. companies with

operations in Northern Ireland in which the assets of the State pension and annuity funds are invested as of October 31,

2017, as provided by ISS-Ethix (formerly IW Financial).

The nine MacBride Principles summarized in the Act are as follows:

A. Increasing the representation of individuals from underrepresented religious groups in the work force including

managerial, supervisory, administrative, clerical, and technical jobs.

B. Adequate security for the protection of minority employees both at the workplace and while traveling to and

from work.

C. The banning of provocative religious or political emblems from the workplace.

D. All job openings should be publicly advertised and special recruitment efforts should be made to attract

applicants from underrepresented religious groups.

E. Layoff, recall, and termination procedures should not in practice favor particularly religious groupings.

F. The abolition of job reservations, apprenticeship restrictions, and differential employment criteria, which

discriminate on the basis of religion or ethnic origin.

G. The development of training programs that will prepare substantial numbers of current minority employees for

skilled jobs, including the expansion of existing programs and the creation of new programs to train, upgrade,

and improve the skills of minority employees.

H. The establishment of procedures to assess, identify, and actively recruit minority employees with potential for

further advancement.

I. The appointment of a senior management staff member to oversee the company’s affirmative action efforts and

the setting up of timetables to carry out affirmative action principles.

General Methodology

During the course of this research project, ISS-Ethix reviewed an investment universe consisting of 3,339 total

companies including the S&P 1500 and the Russell 3000. The review was limited to U.S. domiciled companies and

companies directly listed on U.S. exchanges. The methodology employed a research process consisting of four distinct

information collection activities which included media searches, searches of Securities and Exchange Commission filings,

and consultations and correspondence with identified companies.


Glossary

Affirmative Action Agreement: An established program designed to provide fair participation in employment by

members of the Protestant and/or Roman Catholic community in Northern Ireland. The agreements typically include an

adoption of practices to include participation and may include encouragement of applications and/or training for under-

represented groups, changes to internal procedures, and changes to recruitment measures. Agreements may be

entered voluntarily by the company or may be imposed by the Equality Commission of Northern Ireland.

Direct Business Ties in Northern Ireland: Included in this designated category are strategic partnerships, direct

investment and/or ownership, franchise operations, and actual corporate facilities or activities in Northern Ireland

including R&D, manufacturing, support, and sales operations.

Exempt: Includes companies that have ten or fewer employees in Northern Ireland and are therefore exempt from the

MacBride principles.

Fair Employment Tribunal: An independent government organization which operates based on the statutory rules of

Northern Ireland. The organization’s authority is provided in The Fair Employment Tribunal (Rules of Procedure)

Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 and deals with employment disputes which allege discrimination on the grounds of

religious belief or political opinion. Tribunals function like courts and its decisions are legally binding.

General Underrepresentation (>20 percent): Includes companies with a percentage of Protestant and/or Roman

Catholic employees that is more than 20 ‘percent values’ lower than the percentage of Protestants/Roman Catholics in

the NUTS area where the company operates. For instance, a company will be flagged for this category in a case where it

maintains active operations in a NUTS area where Protestants represent 60 percent of the population, yet its workforce

demographics are comprised of a population of less than 40 percent Protestant employees, as 40 is 20 ‘percent values’

lower than 60.

Indirect Business Ties to Northern Ireland: Includes companies identified as having secondary operations in Northern

Ireland through such arrangements as authorized independent dealerships, solution partners, or ties to developmental

organizations operating in Northern Ireland.

MacBride Endorsement: Companies that have publicly pledged to adopt and implement the MacBride principles. NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics): A coding system used in the United Kingdom to identify statistical regions within the country. Underrepresentation Compared with Geographic Norm: Includes companies with a percentage of Protestant and/or Roman Catholic employees that is more than 20 percent lower than the percentage of Protestants and/or Roman Catholics in the NUTS area where the company operates. For instance, a company will be flagged for this category in a case where it maintains active operations in a NUTS area where Protestants represent 60 percent of the population, yet its workforce demographics are comprised of a population of less than 48 percent Protestant employees, as 48 is 20 percent lower than 60.
