Construction Sites<br />
Improved Environmental performance during fabrication at all constructions sites is ensured by focusing Company<br />
activities at construction yards that hold the Environmental Management System (EMS) certification (ISO 14001).<br />
In addition, compliance with regulatory requirements and contractual HSSE Standards is monitored throughout<br />
the project execution phase. Internal Environmental Audits are carried out as necessary to assess HSSE<br />
management standards.<br />
Offices<br />
Waste segregation programs have been launched in offices across the Company’s project execution centers.<br />
Towards the end of <strong>2011</strong>, the Monaco offices began preparation for the implementation of ISO 14001. This<br />
should be completed in 2012.<br />
The Schiedam office runs a waste management programme that separates waste into different streams, including<br />
paper waste and cardboard waste, residual waste, small chemical waste. In addition, all IT residual waste is<br />
disposed of in the appropriate way.<br />
The Houston office operates an IT computer-recycling program, which employees can use to dispose of<br />
personnel computers if they wish to do so. The Kuala Lumpur office sets specific objectives for office recycling<br />
and efficiency, including future reduction targets for energy and paper use.<br />
Looking forward, the Company is assessing the potential of a number of energy efficiency measures and<br />
programmes designed to enhance employee’s awareness of the need to protect the environment.<br />
Travel<br />
The Company offers a 50% reimbursement of all parking fees to employees in its Monaco offices who participate<br />
in a car-sharing scheme. The scheme helps to reduce global CO2 emissions related to car travel.<br />
In 2009, the Company installed a TelePresence network across its offices in order to reduce the need for and<br />
volume of business travel. In addition to the TelePresence centers available in Schiedam, Houston, Kuala<br />
Lumpar, Macae (Brazil), Luanda, Angola, three new ones were opened during <strong>2011</strong>, in Monaco, Singapore and<br />
Rio de Janeiro. As with the car-sharing scheme available in Monaco, this initiative also helps to reduce <strong>SBM</strong><br />
