Part 1 - General presentation of the Group
17
The performance indicators set out by the GRI cover six
main areas:
■ Economic performance (much detailed in other parts
of this annual report)
■ Environmental performance
■ Social performance in work relations
■ Social performance in relation to human rights
■ Society performance and relationship
with the community
■ Performance in relation to the transparency of product
information (less relevant for Hamon as it does not sell
consumer goods)
The GRI offers a progressive approach with different
levels of application. For this third year of reporting on
this basis, Hamon has met the objectives of Level C
of the GRI (“self-declared”). For more information on
GRI, see www.globalreporting.org
Throughout this annual report, we seek to inform our
stakeholders, in the most transparent way possible, of
our performance and the measures we are implementing
to improve. The perimeter used for each of the performance
indicators is detailed in the section “Report
Parameters” at the end of this document.
In order to match our actions with our words, Hamon is
introducing action plans so that our performance
improves, as well as internal control mechanisms to
ensure that our subsidiary companies report on the
indicators in an accurate and comprehensive manner.
We also want to systematize our subsidiaries’ external
certification processes, be it in relation to quality (ISO
9001) or health and safety (OHSAS 18001).
As our economic performance has been discussed in
detail in other parts of this annual report, here is a summary
of Hamon’s position in terms of its responsibilities
and performance in social and environmental areas.
Social responsibilities
The men and women who contribute on a daily basis
to the success of Hamon are our main resource. They
deserve all our attention. This is why we will dedicate
this section mainly to our internal social responsibilities.
Average headcount per BU 2012 2011 2010
Cooling Systems 775 663 547
Process Heat Exchangers 221 218 232
Air Pollution Control EMEA/Brazil 312 268 220
Air Pollution Control &
Heat Recovery NAFTA 254 182 124
Chimneys 53 55 53
Corporate & others 49 49 45
Total 1 664 1 435 1 221
Notes :
1. These figures include the staff from (1) fully consolidated
subsidiaries and (2) subsidiaries consolidated by proportionate
integration on a pro rata basis of the capital held by Hamon.
Hamon Deltak (138 people in 2012) is consolidated since
1st September 2011.
2. These figures are based on full-time equivalents and only include
staff on open-ended contracts.
3. In addition to these figures, Hamon also employs a few hundred
temporary workers (local labor), mainly at its building sites.
Located around the world, these projects generally last a few
months.
In terms of increased employment within Business
Units, we see that the main variations come from:
■ Cooling Systems (+ 112 people): this increase is due
mainly to our Chinese factory manufacturing air-cooled
condensers in full expansion as well as, to a lesser
extent, Indian and Korean subsidiaries.
■ Air Pollution Control & Heat Recovery NAFTA (+72):
this increase is due to our new subsidiary Hamon
Deltak (taken on for 12 months in 2012, against only
four months in 2011, therefore headcount was
accounted for only one third in 2011), partially offset
by the decrease in other North American subsidiaries.
■ Air Pollution Control EMEA / Brazil (+44): this
increase comes primarily from the new Indian subsidiary
(established in 2011), as well as South African,
Brazilian and Chinese subsidiaries. Mention must
equally be made of a significant workforce reduction
in Belgium.
Headcount
In 2012, the average headcount in the Group was 1664
people, an increase of 229 people versus 2011 (+ 16 %).
To this should be added a number of people working
on sites that only have fixed term contracts; in 2012
this represents roughly 500 people on average (this
number fluctuates over the year).
