6 6 Bilfinger SE Our sustainability strategy Assuming responsibility As a company with a corporate history of over 130 years, we feel we have a special connection to the concept of sustainability. Our top priority is to secure Bilfinger s future. As a result, company policy is not built upon short-term goals, it focuses on medium and long-term success. Such success can only come about, in our opinion, if our business activities also take non-economic factors into account and are able to reconcile the needs of employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and other social groups. Considering the entire lifecycle We consistently focus on the lifecycle approach in all of our projects, taking into account the various phases in the service life of plants and real estate. We aspire to define ourselves by means of quality, to set standards with regard to sustainability and to further solidify our market position through the continuous expansion of our service range. Highlights 2012 In the past year, Bilfinger made important progress in the implementation of its sustainability strategy. Some of the outstanding results include: _ Implementation of a new compliance regulatory framework and extensive employee training _ Expansion of HSEQ activities and establishment of the Groupwide HSEQ management system _ Improvement of the framework conditions for compatibility between career and family Goals for 2013 For the current financial year, we are planning: _ Implementation of the occupational safety campaign SAFETY- WORKS! _ Further development of measures for promoting women to management positions _ Structuring our service range in the area of energy efficiency _ Intensifying internal and external communication on the issue of sustainability Medium and long-term goals It is our objective to position ourselves as a sustainable company and to further expand our competitive advantage. _ We will increase the share of sustainable products and services and ensure that our clients meet their sustainability goals. _ We want to create innovations for power plants, industrial facilities and real estate that are targeted toward climate protection, service life extension and resource conservation. _ We will further optimize health protection and working conditions for our employees. _ We will reduce the negative environmental impact of our business activities and expand our sustainability requirements along the value chain. _ We seek inclusion in sustainability indices. To this end, we are working on our central management system for the control and development of sustainability activities. At the same time, we are extending the regional and content-related coverage and are optimizing the sustainability reporting system in the corporate units in order to generate key sustainability figures that are comparable.

7 Our sustainability strategy Bilfinger SE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY 3 SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Mothers smiles shine from the walls wherever Bilfinger Industrier Norway is at work. In workshops, factories, refineries, industrial buildings and offshore installations, they cast friendly but scrutinizing glances at what is going on and implore: Be careful! The posters make up part of an occupational safety campaign for which the company was awarded the Bilfinger Safety Award in Bilfinger Mauell developed the Smart Grid control system. The system is capable of measuring the quantity of electricity generated locally and of providing data for the optimal utilization of the grid. In May 2013 the Smart Grid project was awarded the Hessian State Prize for intelligent energy. 4 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2 RESOURCE PROTECTION Bilfinger Construction is building major tunnel sections for the new XFEL x-ray flash facility in Hamburg. We treat the accumulated construction and ground - water to nearly drinking-water quality before it is returned to the Düpenau river. To this end, we developed a six-stage purification process. As part of a Knowledge Factory project in Halle, Bilfinger HSG Facility Management supported school children in founding their own company. The students developed a concept for a small juice shop as a fun way to familiarize themselves with economic processes including personnel, financial and sales planning.

8 8 Bilfinger SE Ecology acting responsibly The consideration of ecological requirements takes a high priority for us whether we are supporting and advising clients or planning and optimizing our own processes. We have put management systems in place to serve this aim. All units of the company are certified in accordance with the environmental management standard ISO or integrate environmental goals in the framework of other management systems such as ISO The proportionate share of ISO certifications increased substantially in Further expansion is planned for Certification in accordance with ISO (Energy Management Systems) is also in preparation for certain companies. Materials Our aim is to utilize materials economically and efficiently. We therefore pay attention to local availability in order to keep transport expenses as low as possible. When selecting materials, we take their entire lifecycle into account, examining aspects such as maintenance-friendliness, durability, health hazards and recyclability. We also consider and discuss a range of different material alternatives with our customers, examining the impact on people and the environment. Group-wide, we purchased raw materials, auxiliary materials, supplies and goods valued at approximately 1.5 billion in They primarily consist of steel, concrete and insulation. Energy and emissions When it comes to energy efficiency, we do not just optimize our products and services, but our own processes as well. The following electricity, natural gas and district heating consumption figures are based on energy consumption in Germany, where Bilfinger generated 39 percent of its output volume in The total amount of energy required amounted to 164,948 megawatt hours. CO2 emissions totaled 110,677 tons. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, an internationally recognized reporting standard for companies, is used as the basis for calculating our CO2 emissions. We seek to keep the amount of energy we require as low as possible and to reduce the CO2 emissions we cause. And so we encourage the use of low CO2 vehicles by means of a bonus/malus system. Water and wastewater Water is an indispensable resource for people, nature and economic growth. The conservation of water counts among our most important tasks. We therefore utilize water efficiently within the scope of our activities. Waste We take into consideration the type and amount of resulting waste as early as the material selection phase. If it is not possible to avoid waste, we try to initiate a recycling or recovery procedure. We accordingly plan collection and disposal concepts at an early stage. Biodiversity As early as the tendering stage, we develop solutions that neutralize or mitigate the impact on nature wherever possible. We take precautions at an early stage to reduce noise, vibrations, dust and exhaust gases. ENGERGY CONSUMPTION IN GERMANY 2012 (IN MWH) CO 2 EMISSIONS IN GERMANY SCOPE (IN T) District heating: 1,162 Electricity: 90,622 Scope 3: 8,255 Scope 1: 56,572 Natural gas: 73,164 Scope 2: 45,850

9 Ecology Bilfinger SE TRANSPORT BY SHIP INSTEAD OF TRUCK Instead of sending 130 trucks on a 1,300 kilometer journey, Bilfinger Construction transported all of the site equipment for the construction of the Norwegian Dalsfjord bridge via waterway. Just under 5,500 tons of equipment including excavators, floating pontoons and rotating tower cranes departed Hamburg on two boats bound for Norway in early Ship transportation may be logistically more complex than using trucks, but it costs less and dampens the environmental impact substantially. 2 2 FISH LADDER ON THE MOSEL BARRAGE When rivers are made navigable with barrages, it brings about advantages for people and the economy. However, the barrages block the upstream path for fish. It is for this reason that fish ladders, fish transfer systems or fish passes are built. As part of the expansion of the Mosel barrage near Koblenz, Bilfinger Scheven assumed responsibility for the hydraulic steel and steel construction as well as delivery and assembly of the technical systems for the new fish pass including an electronic counting system.

10 10 Bilfinger SE Employees realizing potential Our employees are our most important resource. We develop their skills, promote their performance and deal with each other with respect, fairness and loyalty. This is perhaps one of the reasons why we have been consistently ranked among the most attractive employers in our industry for many years. Equal opportunities As an internationally-positioned Group with a highly diversified range of activities and services, we rely on employees with differing experience, qualifications and perspectives. We respect for the personality of each individual employee and reject discrimination in any form. For Bilfinger the support of and compliance with human rights is as much a matter of course as the observance of employee rights. As of December 31, 2012, 10,849 women were employed by the Bilfinger Group. This represents 16 percent of our employees (in Germany: 25 percent). We aim to increase the percentage of women in our workforce and raise the percentage of women in management positions to between 15 and 20 percent by That percentage is now just under 7 percent. Focus areas include the compatibility of career and family, making working conditions more flexible, personnel development for women as well as school/university marketing and employer branding. Work-life balance Bilfinger set the improvement in the compatibility of work and family as a primary Group objective in Solutions include, in particular, flexible working time models as well as programs for the care of children and relatives with special needs. The comprehensive range of sport and other health-related initiatives at Bilfinger are met with high demand among employees. Training We give our employees the skills they need to meet ever-greater challenges and achieve their professional goals. In addition to external training, Bilfinger offers a range of training and qualification measures through the Bilfinger Academy. Occupational safety No task is so urgent or so important that safety precautions can be ignored. We are convinced that it is possible to completely avoid accidents. That is why we continue to concertedly pursue our aim of zero accidents. Reporting on the Group-wide recording of HSEQ events was further extended in Management software was implemented that records HSEQ events in accordance with uniform standards worldwide. We developed a concept for a behavior-based safety program (SAFETYWORKS!) that will be implemented throughout the Group starting in 2013 to further improve the safety culture at Bilfinger. In the 2012 reporting period, the Bilfinger Safety Awards were presented for the first time to Bilfinger operating units that distinguished themselves through their outstanding commitment.

11 Employees Bilfinger SE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AWARD Bilfinger Construction is building large sections of the 3.4-kilometer-long Wehrhahn line, a new underground rail line in Düsseldorf. Bilfinger initiated a competition among the sub-projects of the construction site: each month a sub-project receives an award for achieving the best results in the area of occupational safety. Not only does the safest construction site get a certificate, but also a snack for the entire team. 2 VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN SOUTH AFRICA At its plant near Pretoria, Bilfinger Power Systems manufactures components for coal-fired power plants. We train our employees in our own facilities to enable us to manufacture these components in South Africa. This concept means that we can make an important contribution to education and ensure the quality of our work. Many employees stay with the company for years. 2 SHARE OF WOMEN 2012 PARTICIPATION IN INTERNAL TRAINING IN GERMANY % women 6 % social competence 8 % personal competence 9 % IT training 84 % men 15 % methods competence 16 % management competence 46 % specialist expertise

12 12 Bilfinger SE Society meeting obligations We see ourselves as part of society. We therefore get involved as corporate citizens wherever our business activities are located. In particular, we support projects in the areas of education, culture and sport as well as social projects. Our corporate units decide for themselves which concerns are locally important and select the projects they wish to support. Our commitment to social issues is based to a great extent on the volunteer work of our employees at all hierarchical levels even members of the Executive Board get involved. They show their commitment in the context of community days, provide training, give lectures and actively participate in local initiatives. Our responsibility is also reflected in aid campaigns for charity organizations and for those in need. Frequently initiated by individual staff members and supported by management, these campaigns raise large sums of money for the respective aid organizations. Fundraising is carried out by collecting donations, holding draws or raffles as well as by donating the registration fees for sporting events. The projects that we support include _ Endowed chairs at the University of Mannheim and the State Technical College in Leipzig _ Deutschlandstipendium (Germany Scholarship) from the German Ministry of Education and Research _ Knowledge Factory Unternehmen für Deutschland e.v. (Companies for Germany) _ German Sport Aid Foundation _ Special Olympics _ National Theater Mannheim

13 Society Bilfinger SE 13 1 THE BRONNBACH SCHOLARSHIP The Bronnbach Scholarship provides socially active students of law and business in Mannheim and Bochum the opportunity to engage in a dialog with artists and others involved in cultural activities and gain insight into creative processes and problem solving.

In the Arabian Gulf region we have been actively involved in the modernization and optimization of seawater desalination plants for decades and thereby contribute to securing the supply of drinking water. The objective of our work there is a reduction in the energy consumption of plants while at the same time increasing the amount of water produced.

19 Sustainable products and services Bilfinger SE VACUUM TECHNOLOGY FOR KIEV 2 WASTEWATER TECHNOLOGY FOR MEXICO CITY The 2012 European Football Championship final was played in the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, the Ukranian capital. Bilfinger Water Technologies installed a vacuum system in the basement of the stadium. The system allows the wastewater of the 70,000-capacity arena to be transported through a vacuum system, thus reducing water consumption significantly. Whereas between seven and twelve liters of water per person are flushed through washbasins and toilets at similar major events, the figure in Kiev stands at just 1.3 liters. Emisor Oriente, the new 60-kilometer wastewater tunnel will ensure that Mexico City is not flooded by its own wastewater during the rainy season. It is currently considered one of the most important infrastructure measures in the world. For two of the five pumping stations, Bilfinger Water Technologies delivered both fully-automatic rake screens and sluices with which the canals can be completely closed for maintenance or in cases of emergency. 3 SEAWATER DESALINATION FOR KUWAIT At the Shuwaikh desalination facility in the Arabian Gulf, Bilfinger Power Systems has increased the performance of the system by carrying out a complete overhaul of three blocks. The efficiency of the plant thus increases by up to 15 percent and secures the supply of drinking water for the population.
