OHL Group Code of Conduct January 2012 / Rev. 3 04.5 Involvement with the Community 4.5. Involvement with the Community Protection of the environment OHL is firmly committed to the protection of and respect for the environment and, to this end, carries out its activity under the premise of minimizing negative environmental impacts and of preventing pollution, by promoting R&D for the improvement of its processes and insuring the appropriate training of its employees and collaborators in the proper environmental management of the different activities and associated hazards, together with the optimum management of the natural heritage. On their part, the employees of the Group must protect and respect the environment and minimize negative environmental impacts, work with maximum efficiency with respect to the use of energy and natural resources and respect the conservation of biodiversity, by putting into practice the expertise acquired and remaining constantly vigilant in the performance of the various activities in which they participate. Corruption The employees, as well as any other outside individuals who provide their services to the Group, in their relations with domestic government administrations, the administrations of third part countries and of international organizations, must conduct themselves in such a way that they will not lead a public official to violate his or her duties of impartiality or any other legal requirement. The following prohibitions are derived from this obligation: • The absolute prohibition of offering any public official, directly or indirectly, any kind of undue advantage for the purpose of leading such official to violate his or her obligations in order to favor our company. • The prohibition of any kind of conduct or activity, other than the foregoing, which is intended to illicitly influence the conduct of a public official, leading such official to make or not make a decision that would favor our company. Our Group does not approve of the giving of gifts, invitations or business courtesies to public officials that would exceed, in annual terms, a value equivalent to 100 euros. This prohibition also extends to individuals closely related to the public official by family ties or friendship. Commitment to society and sponsorship The Group’s commitment to society materializes through the development and promotion of initiatives focused on improving the quality of life of the people in the communities where it operates and in the environment of its activity. This commitment is put into practice through community envolvement programs and patronage and sponsorship actions, through a duly procedurized management framework, and each specific case must be given the express written approval established in the Group’s internal regulations. 10 10
OHL Group Code of Conduct January 2012 / Rev. 3 05. Monitoring and control Proactive and participative input is expected of all of the employees of the Group, in consonance with this commitment to the community, particularly in community envolvement. Patronage, sponsorship or other projects in the area of community envolvement promoted by members of the Group must be carried out in accordance with the relevant internal regulations and in a transparent manner, without seeking the personal advantage or promotion of any of the people in the organization or affecting the impartiality of a public official. In no case may these actions be used as acts of electoral propaganda or as a means for surreptitiously bribing a public official. The employees bound by this Code have the obligation of knowing and understanding its content and the values on which it is based. Similarly, they have the obligation of complying with it and of helping the rest of the team to do so as well. This Code is dynamic and is open to the participation of all. Any suggestions for improvement, any queries or criticism should be brought to the attention of the Audit, Compliance and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, which is the body responsible for overseeing compliance with this Code and for promoting both its dissemination as well as the specific training necessary for its proper application. The importance of compliance with the Code in the context of the Group’s business activity makes it imperative to provide the material and human resources necessary for the attainment of this objective. Prevention Committee The Prevention Committee, a body comprised by a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 members appointed by the Board of Directors, has as its fundamental purpose the ongoing improvement and implementation of the criminal risk prevention and detection system of the OHL Group. For the fulfillment of its mission, the Committee shall prepare and update the criminal risk map of the OHL Group, proposing to the Audit Committee the adoption of the measures and controls it may deem necessary for the improvement of the criminal risk prevention and detection system. Conduct Consultation and Reporting Channel OHL highly values the reporting of illicit behavior by its employees. In addition to assisting in the discovery of possible irregularities, such reports constitute an indispensable tool both for ensuring that the Code of Conduct becomes fully effective as well as for continuously improving our prevention policy and quality standards. No employee should think that he or she is acting in the interest of the company when concealing a fact or incident that violates the law or the Code of Conduct. The activity of the OHL Group may bring to light fresh conflicts and ethical dilemmas where it is not always easy to apply the provisions of this Code. Such doubts must be referred 11 11
