REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – BOSKALIS

CORPORATE SOCIAL

RESPONSIBILITY

In our CSR report we account for material and relevant non-financial aspects of our

performance arising from our strategy and core activities. We report in accordance

with the international guidelines set out in the Global Reporting Initiative (version G4).

In 2015 we conducted our first materiality analysis, incorporating input from around

70 important stakeholders (investors and shareholders, employees, clients, suppliers

and non-governmental organizations), which we updated in 2016. The analysis

resulted in the following key and sub-topics that create focus in our CSR policy:

Since 2012 we have taken part in the Carbon Disclosure Project, a global reporting

platform that makes information on emissions available to subscribed investors. In

2016 Boskalis Nederland once again obtained certification on the CO

Performance

Ladder, achieving the highest level attainable (5).

CSR report 2016,
