Message<br />

from the<br />

Chairman<br />

In Portugal we successfully concluded the works at Douro Litoral<br />

Concession and Reboleira Metro Station; in Madeira Island we<br />

concluded the 1 st stage of the complementary works of Machico/<br />

Faial, Santo da Serra lagoon and the reformulation of the road<br />

network of the Ponta do Pargo Golf Course. We must also highlight<br />

the conclusion of the works of New Mongomeyen, in Equatorial<br />

Guinea, and the opening of road Guéckédou/Sérédou, in the<br />

Republic of Guinea.<br />

Where in 2010 we had 5,704 collaborators, we have now ended<br />

2011 with 7,963, an increase of approximately 19% over the<br />

numbers of the previous year, contradicting the general tendencies<br />

and, especially, the trends in the construction market. We<br />

have continued to bet on recruitment of qualified personnel, not<br />

only in Portugal and Brazil but also in the markets where we<br />

operate.<br />

ZAGOPE Annual Report 2011<br />

Because our company culture, the AG Culture, invests in people,<br />

we have successfully implemented our People Cycle to assess<br />

and offer career perspectives adapted to each Collaborator; ensured<br />

the good outcome of the AG Trainee Programme, with 3<br />

Portuguese candidates selected in a global process with 26,942<br />

candidates; and invested in the training and evolution of our Collaborators,<br />

with over 39,000 hours of training registered.<br />

In 2011 ZAGOPE was chosen as the 4 th Largest and Best Company<br />

in the Construction sector, and was also distinguished as<br />

one of the best companies to work for. I would like to thank all Collaborators,<br />

shareholders, clients, suppliers and partners for making<br />

it possible to achieve such results, and who, I believe, will be<br />

decisive for the celebration of more victories that will contribute to<br />

making the ANDRADE GUTIERREZ Group the greatest and best<br />

infrastructures company in the world!
