Corporate Social Responsibility This is reflected in our employee surveys, in which more than 90% of respondents reported job satisfaction and would recommend us as their employer of choice. Occupational health and safety is an important issue for Grontmij: 82% of our employees work in countries covered by an Occupational Health and Safety Management System and 32% work in countries certified according to the OHSAS-18001 standard. It is our ambition to have all countries certified by the end of 2010. We are working in Munich on Germany’s largest planned geothermal plant with a generating capacity of 8 MW. The project entails drilling to depths of approximately 4,000 m below ground level. Our work commences when the hot water reaches the surface, and in addition to the general planning assignment comprises all the mechanical and electrical engineering together with the control systems and the construction designs. We have selected a measure from the core social indicators of GRI guidelines to demonstrate our performance in this area. Our full report is shown in the table on page 66. Our employees are our greatest asset, and ensuring that they feel that Grontmij is their preferred place of work is a key driver for our business. 79% of employees work in countries with systems to monitor employee satisfaction, which include questions on strategy, integrity, career progression, management and how we perform against a number of indicators. The results of the detailed surveys are used to improve our ability to attract and retain employees; for instance, we have initiated a focused management-development programme in the Netherlands and training for all managers and project managers in Denmark in the tools and methodologies related to coaching-based leadership. As a direct result of employee feedback, the United Kingdom introduced a programme of technical-skills mapping for each individual. This was linked to both their annual performance review and the graduate and professional development programmes to create a detailed career path for each member of staff. CSR in the future – continuous improvement This year we have built on the CSR sections of our previous annual reports by incorporating GRI standards and next year we will do more in our programme of continuous improvement. Our first step will be a group-wide systematic approach to reporting on CSR indicators. Our objective will be the exchange of best practices between home markets, sharing our inspiration to perform better on the indicators chosen to represent our performance. We will prepare CSR improvement plans that encompass the management improvement plans that we prepare annually for our existing health and safety, quality and environment standards. 64 GRONTMIJ | ANNUAL REPORT 2008
Verslag van de Raad van Bestuur Corporate Social Responsibility As a further demonstration of our commitment to continuous improvement is our ambition to gradually increase our application level under the GRI framework. In 2009, we aim to report at level B+, adding more indicators to our public reporting and having that report verified by an independent third party. 1994 ISO-9001 standards begun 1 st certified 1996 1995 ISO-14001 standards begun 1 st certified 1997 1996-1997 Intellectual capital reporting 2000 Global compact adopted by Grontmij Carl Bro 2005 OHSAS-18001 standards begun 1 st certified 2006 2006 BIMS business integrity code adopted Grontmij Carl Bro Code of conduct 1 st applied 2008 CSR report prepared to GRI level C Human rights/equal ops policy adopted across Grontmij 2009 Global compact for Grontmij N.V.

We have shown that by ensuring that our clients can rely on us to deliver solutions to their sustainability goals today, we can work with them in the future to extend their horizons. We have shown our commitment to reducing Grontmij’s environmental footprint per employee over time and to adopting targets for these reductions in line with global or national standards. We have stated that our aim is to lead the industry in applying the principles and practices of sustainable development and sound business integrity. These are not idle words, through our commitment to our corporate responsibilities as employers, as service providers and as the stewards of a business that represents a sound investment, we believe we are able to demonstrate true leadership in sustainability.
