Sprout AI Inc. Announces the Release of its 2022 Sustainability Goals

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 15, 2022) - Sprout AI Inc. (CSE: BYFM) ("Sprout AI" or the "Company") Sprout AI is proud to announce the release of its "2021/2022 Environmental, Social & Governance ("ESG") Corporate Policy", detailing the Company's ESG practices in key areas that include, but are not limited to, environmental impact, health & safety, diversity, community, equity & inclusion, anti-corruption, and employee engagement.

Chris Bolton, Chairman and CEO of Sprout AI notes, "Our corporate Vision, Mission and Purpose align perfectly with the goals and aspiration of ESG and the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). We, as directors and officers of Sprout AI, are proud to showcase how we are prioritizing ESG as part of our corporate goal, objectives, strategies, plans and actions (GOSPA). As a publicly-traded company, we recognized the importance of ESG practices, and after six months of publicly trading, the company has identified 15 out of the 17 UN SDGs of which it is directly and positively contributing. Included in our GOSPA are references to specific SDG targets that are being quantitatively measured. We will be reporting the findings of our first annual baseline year and confirming the final framework for which we will be registering our findings, on or before July 5, 2022."

The Vision of Sprout AI is to continually innovate and provide the best vertical indoor farming technology that will ensure that anyone, virtually anywhere, can reliably produce high-quality, affordably priced, produce.

The Company's mission is to continue to grow the most innovative vertical indoor farming company to ensure that every continent can experience the benefits of vertical cultivation within their local communities by the year 2050.

Included in Sprout AI's Purpose is its goal to establish the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores for its industry. The Company will report its findings at its annual general meeting scheduled for August 25, 2022, together with its 2022/2023 GOSPA designed to further improve upon its 2021/2022 baseline.

Bolton went on to say, "We recognized that many companies within our vertical indoor cultivation sector have been slow to provide details as to how ESG factors are included within their annual planning and capital investment programs, placing low merit in how the company addresses and prioritizes ESG. Sprout AI, having embraced ESG at the time of its public offering, recognizes the importance of including ESG directly into the annual corporate planning cycle. Moreover, we appreciate the importance of ensuring both transparencies in our accounting and within our ESG reporting. Now as Sprout AI takes the concrete steps to fulfill its commitments to further drive its own ESG related efforts, it has also embarked upon positioning itself to be the leader in building the framework that other vertical farming companies can incorporate for their SDGs to drive positive change in their organizations."

Sprout AI also wishes to announce that Meyers Norris Penny (MNP) has notified Sprout AI that it is experiencing some significant capacity challenges, and given Sprout AI's demand for international expansion, it is unable to commit to completing the audit for the current term. Given Canada's current shortage of available auditing firms and Sprout AI's international cross-listing aspirations, and in support of its international ESG policy, Sprout AI saw this opportunity to seek an auditing partner who has multi-jurisdictional accounting and ESG audit capabilities. The Company expects to name that auditing partner shortly.
