With the assistance of a third-party ESG firm, GEO conducted a human rights due diligence process in 2022, focusing on identifying salient human rights based on the nature of GEO’s services. GEO’s human rights risk assessment involved a four-step process that included active engagement with all critical stakeholder groups: Preparation Analysis & Interviews Saliency Assessment of Potential Risks Reporting GEO used the framework established by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and relied on the following foundational sources of international human rights: United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights International Labour Organization (ILO) Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work Human Rights Due Diligence Process (2022)

Stakeholder Interviews GEO conducted 26 interviews with internal and external stakeholders to gain a wide view on potentially salient human rights. Internal stakeholders included members of GEO’s Board of Directors, executive leadership and division heads, subject matter experts, and frontline employees. The external stakeholders engaged included former GEO inmates/Continuum of Care alumni, multiple representatives of GEO shareholders, including institutional investors and members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), and two Community Advisory Boards in Indiana and Louisiana. Plans and Objectives The identification and scoring of salient human rights both for inmates/detainees/residents and employees provide a framework for reviewing GEO’s Global Human Rights Policy, making necessary adjustments and fostering continuous improvement. Moving forward, we expect to evaluate additional human rights initiatives, including a future review of our Global Human Rights Policy and its implementation.
