unit SBM-Production Contractors (SBM-PC), which manages the fleet operations.
1.6.2 Environment
The Company implements ISO 14001 and seeks accreditation voluntarily. Implementation started in Brazil in
2009, continued throughout 2010 and was completed for the rest of the Company’s operations in 2011, except for
FPSO Kuito (audit forecasted for 2012).
1.6.3 Health, Safety and Security
The Company’s offshore fleet management system complies with the International Safety Management (ISM)
standard and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which is a mandatory requirement.
The Company voluntarily aims to ensure that its operations also comply with the Occupational Health and Safety
Standard (OHSAS) 18001, which requires all shore bases and operating units to verify Health and Safety
practises. In Brazil, accreditation was obtained for onshore operations offices in 2009 and by all FPSOs in 2010.
This standard is currently being implemented on and offshore in Angola and in the rest of the world with
accreditation set to be completed in 2012.
