Supporting statement
"Shareholders have filed a resolution requesting a report detailing the Company's UK
wage policies, including base pay practices, oversight, pay levels relative to the real Living
Wage, employee turnover, and a cost/benefit analysis of adopting the real Living Wage.
Why: Effective minimum pay policies are crucial for worker well-being and workforce
retention and recruitment; business resilience and productivity; and the health of the
social and economic systems on which investor returns rely.
Given the retail sector’s high turnover and reliance on low-paid workers, investors need
clarity on how JD Sports sets wages and balances costs with long-term sustainability.
Transparency on this issue is a crucial first step which would enhance investor
understanding of JD Sports’s human capital management strategy. "
