Supporting statement
Over the last few years, several public debates over language1 have tarnished the reputation of major publicly-traded corporations in terms of their social responsibility and how they interpret their duties and obligations with respect to the diversity that is rooted in our society. Language, which is a cornerstone of our democratic institutions, is indeed a fundamental aspect of the community. Such situations, which are harmful from all perspectives, must be prevented from reoccurring. For this and several other reasons, it is appropriate for all interested parties (stakeholders) to know, through formal and official disclosure, the languages in which the directors of the Company are fluent. “Fluent” evidently refers to a level of language proficiency that is sufficient to allow the general use of such language in all spheres of activity of both legal and natural persons.
