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!
