Creating Long-term Value
Value Creation
We are guided in our value chain by our General Code of Business
Conduct, which is based on international guidelines such as the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We endorse the principles
of the International Labour Organization, the UN Global Compact
and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Our core activities are focused on markets and market segments
where we have the greatest opportunities. Our key market segments
are Ports, Offshore Energy, Infra and Climate-change related.
In our value chain the material CSR themes are impact on local
communities, environmental impact, care for human capital and
responsible business conduct. For more information please refer
to and the relevant chapters in this report.
Certification shows our compliance with internationally recognized
management, environmental and safety standards. All key Boskalis
business units are certified according to ISM, ISO 9001, ISO
14001 and OHSAS 18001, or VCA for our Dutch operations.
A list of the various certificates we hold is included in the appendix.
During 2016 we made great strides in developing a new uniform
quality management system: the Boskalis Way of Working. The
system is centered on an integrated business process and a uniform
customer approach. The basic principle of the system is to keep
quality as close as possible to the primary processes. The system is
based on and will be implemented to complement existing
processes, tools and certifications. The Boskalis Way of Working
will be introduced across the company in the course of 2017.
