The new weighing system represents a differential primarily in terms of the handling of 20-foot containers moved in pairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; commonly used at the terminals, called a twin operation

Operator confirms the container weight and passes the information onto the N4 system through the collector. The new scale was approved by the S達o Paulo State Institute of Weights and Measures (IPEM)

JOINING TECHNOLOGIES The IT team had the mission of integrating the new scale with the Terminal Operational System (N4). Marcio André Mateus, IT Coordinator, explained that for approximately two months, five Members from the Systems team were mobilized with the mission of monitoring the equipment development and test phase for integration with the Terminal Operational System (TOS), which manages the terminal operations. The initial challenge was to integrate the calculation of the weight recorded on the RTG with the information from N4 and the work instructions of the RTG operators. “Today, the weighing operations are completed in a minimum amount of time after they are removed from the container and this information is then available on the Embraport website,” explained Mateus. He further added: “The result was successful and the ones to most benefit are our clients,” he said.

Breaking Paradigms The most challenging phase of the water treatment construction work that is part of the Paraná de las Palmas project, currently being completed by Odebrecht Infrastructure - Latin America in Argentina, is the installation of the pipeline under the Paraná River. The structure will transport water from the river to the treatment station through a 15-km tunnel to transform the murky waters of the Paraná into drinking water to serve some 2.5 million people from the Northern region of Buenos Aires. In order to complete the phase, the team offered the client a solution never before seen in the world. In partnership with Braskem, it used piping made from High Density Polyethylene (PEAD) with a diameter of 4.04 meters and thickness of 22 centimeters, the largest measurements recorded worldwide in structures for this type of application. The strategy allowed

the company to reduce the pipeline weight by 90%, and accordingly, reduce the costs with beams and cargo movement equipment, while also simplifying the cement foundation construction.

About the Project • Date the contract was made official: November 10, 2008 • Start of Construction Work: February 19, 2009 • Estimated delivery date: December 20, 2014 • Objective: treat 1.5 million m³ of water per day

The innovative solution proposed to the client allowed the company to meet the deadline while ensuring quality and a low project cost

The amount invested along the stretch between Kms 134 and 140 of the Dom Pedro I Highway was R$ 44.6 million (North and South lanes)

Expanded Urban Mobility On May 2, the Rota das Bandeiras Concessionaire – an Odebrecht TransPort company responsible for administering the highways that form the Dom Pedro Corridor – delivered a 12-km stretch of side roads between Kms 134 and 140 of the Dom Pedro I (SP-065) Highway, located in the rural São Paulo city of Campinas. The inauguration was attended by the São Paulo Governor, Geraldo Alckmin. “The side roads of the Dom Pedro I Highway have a direct impact on the entire Metropolitan Region of Campinas,” said Alckmin. “Its construction helps improve traffic, especially along the city’s urban stretch.” Júlio Perdigão, President and CEO of

Rota das Bandeiras, emphasized that for the concessionaire, it is one of the largest projects over the concession’s last 30 years. The complete side road construction project includes some 32 km of road that will cover the entire urban area of Campinas between Km 129 and 145 at the junction with the Anhanguera Highway – which receives the largest flow from Dom Pedro I, with approximately 125,000 vehicles per day. Rota das Bandeiras is completing construction work between Km 143 (Amarais) and Km 145 (Anhanguera). The next phase will be completed from Km 129 to Km 134.

Guaranteed Processes In April, the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant, currently being built by Odebrecht Infrastructure – Brazil in Rondônia, participated in the fourth external audit for the recertification of Odebrecht in the standards OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001, which establish the guidelines for the management systems in Workplace Safety, Occupational Health and Environment (SHE). According to the results, the develop meets the items covered by the standards with excellence. During a one-week period, the auditors of the certifying entity Bureau Veritas Certification were at the construction site to monitor the processes, talking to Members and to the SHE teams. The closure took place on April 4 and included the participation of the Contract Directors and Members. On the occasion, Waldomiro Ferreira

Filho, Lead Auditor, stated that he realized how much the project values the certification process: “You have a leadership system that has become top-notch,” said Filho. “People are able to understand the safety procedures. Santo Antônio has instruments that allow people to participate, learn and express their opinions, which culminated in the results of this audit,” he said. Délio Galvão, Contract Director of the Construtor Santo Antônio Consortium (CCSA), talked about the benefits of the evaluation opportunities and continuous improvement process. “When seeking excellence, we can not grow too comfortable with our results,” said Galvão. “Through the Always Safe Program, we are working together to increasingly improve SHE.”

Santo Antônio Resumes Energy Generation The Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant, administered by Santo Antônio Energia in Rondônia, has begun generating energy once again. On April 25, nine turbines began operating, representing a total power of approximately 640 Megawatts. The resumed production was only possible with the reestablishment of the minimum liquid fall at the dam – increase in the difference between the water

level upstream (above the dam) and downstream (below the dam). The 17 other turbines that are part of the supply system have received the authorization required to operate commercially and began operating during the month of May, according to the programming established together with the National System Operator (ONS).

Generator Group 2 (GG2): The hydroelectric power plant had been shut down since February 17, 2014, due to record flooding along the Madeira River

iSur completed 26 social projects that favor some 3,500 families, helping to generate economic benefits and coordinating local producers’ organizations and rural community tourism market initiatives

Actions Recognized by IDB In recognition of the South Inter-Oceanic Initiative - iSur created through a strategic alliance between Odebrecht , the South IIRSA Concessionaire, CONIRSA, International Conservation and Pro Naturaleza in Peru - the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB ) Multilateral Investment Fund (FOM IN) donated US$ 3 million to the program’s actions. iSur was created five years ago with aims of implementing actions that allow for the leveraging of the positive impacts of the South InterOceanic Highway – South IIRSA – and help preserve possible indirect impacts, establishing a new type of participation by the benefitted populations. According to the FOM IN blog, initiatives such as those implemented by Odebrecht, completed along

Stretches 2 and 3 of the South IIRSA, are very relevant for the fund and for Peru’ s Southern region. The growth of major investments in the region, expected to continue over the years to come, is crucial for the new models of operation, which promote sustainable development and the integration of new markets for small local producers. For the institution, i Sur went beyond the traditional focus on mitigating negative impacts and instead sought to develop a participative process. The populations benefitted by these investments were able to enjoy them better, boosting their competitiveness and productive development and reducing the risks associated with any large infrastructure in terms of the environmental and social impacts.

THE POWER OF SYNERGY “We began building Corinthians Arena on May 30, 2011.” Since then, the team created a really nice work climate, one which resulted in a high level of synergy. I have been at the Organization for 28 years and I can safely say that we have had a unique work environment here, like a family. When everyone rows in the same direction, we win in all aspects. I learned a great deal with this project. Team spirit was what most stood out in our daily work routine. We got to know each other, we felt comfortable and listened to one another. This helped us work together to achieve the same objective. In October 2011, we learned that the stadium would host the 2014 World Cup opening ceremony and the team became even more passionate about the project. Participating in this project will mark the life of each person that participated in the arena construction. These three years were dedicated to this moment: being the first ones to celebrate the delivery of the Corinthians Arena. Nobody knows better than we do the details of the 55 kilometers of piles driven in the soil or the 100,000 m³ of concrete we used. Only we know the amount of work that was required. We hope that this may serve as the stage to countless joyful experiences.” Antônio Gavioli, Contract Director at Corinthians Arena

Urban Development: Growth of the Cities

ultural memories, history and development. Past and future. Somewhere in the middle, urban growth takes place. How to ensure that they can all coexist harmoniously? For 70 years, Odebrecht has involved the community in each project it undertakes in order to work together to contribute toward the development that begins there. Whether through the personal growth of the residents, with social and training initiatives or by presenting the details of the project, such as the case at the “My Maravilha Port” exhibit hall, which shows what the Rio de Janeiro port region will look like through interactive displays. One of the many examples of the city planning promoted by the Organization can be found in Rio de Janeiro. From 2008 to 2011, Odebrecht Infrastructure - Brazil led the Better Rio consortium, which invested $ 835 million in social projects in the low income community of Complexo do Alemão, considered one of the most violent in the city’s North Zone. With the support of the Slum Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), there was a transformation in the region that extended far beyond the civil construction work. Reurbanization brought urban development improvements, with the installation of water, sewage and electricity networks, and public and private services, including branches of the bank Banco do Brasil, postal service units and also ATM machines for the bank Caixa Econômica Federal. Housing complexes, sports fields, libraries, schools, hospitals and a training and legal assistance center were also built. Adilson Moura served as the project’s Administrative and Financial Manager through Odebrecht Infrastructure - Brazil, and saw that his program presented a challenge that went beyond the commitment of simply completing the project. “I was absolutely sure that I could help improve the lives of those people,” he said. He was dealing with a low income community, working in a hostile environment with a frightened team. “We needed to complete a project that, in

ADILSON DONIZETTI MOURA has worked at Odebrecht for 34 years. He began as an office boy in 1980 at the Brazilian Project and Construction Work Company (CBPO), following in the footsteps of his father, who worked at the company for 21 years. With a degree in Business Administration and specialization in Finances, he has worked on Engineering projects in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul, working in the area of Supply and Logistics until his Leader encouraged him to innovate. Moura remembers the phrase he heard that day: “I remembered the tricks to success [referring to a stretch from the TEO],” he said. “You already know everything about this position. Come to the Administrative-Financial area. It will contribute toward your cycle of growth.” In his new job position, his first contract was for the channeling of the Pavuna River in the Rio de Janeiro region of Baixada Fluminense. “I didn’t think this ‘baptism’ would be so intense,” he revealed. The area surrounding the project was extremely violent and needy, and the team required constant motivation to complete the construction work, but the challenge was met. He also helped the build the São Paulo Subway Line 4 - Yellow, where he advanced to later become the Administrative-Financial Manager at Complexo do Alemão. He is currently in São Paulo, working on the SABESP (São Paulo State Basic Sanitation Company) project.

Complexo do Alemão is formed by 12 communities. It occupies an area extending 1,800,000 m², with 120,000 residents and 30,000 families. The project built 920 housing units

addition to being considered unprecedented in Brazil, was something the local residents did not believe would work,” said Moura. Moura added that, to his surprise, the project gradually earned the support of the community leaders. “This help was crucial,” he said. “It was with it that we were able to engage the entire community in the construction process. We used approximately 70% local labor, which made them feel like the owners of the project and those responsible for the results.” Moura pointed out that many Members got their first official job at the project. “Before, when they looked for work and revealed their address, nobody would hire them,” he revealed. “Living in Alemão was reason for segregation and prejudice.” At the end of the construction work, with the training and experience they acquired, new opportunities emerged. They were invited to work on a range of other Odebrecht projects, such as the remodeling of Maracanã and construction of Maravilha Port, or even at other companies. The contract was also responsible for building the first mass cable transport system in Brazil. Administered by SuperVia, the Odebrecht TransPort company, the cable car reached the milestone of approximately 8 million passengers transported at the end of 2013. Currently, some 12,000 residents and tourists use the transport daily in the communities of Complexo do Alemão. The installation of six cable car stations created spaces for community initiatives, offering access for social insertion. The recovery of citizenship helped improve the residents’ quality of life and their pride at belonging to a place that is considered a tourism destination. “There was no perspective of the future,” said Moura. “Today, the people from the community know that they can improve their destiny. It just depends on them.”

In order to celebrate the Organization’s 70-year anniversary during the course of the year, Odebrecht News is publishing a series of special stories in its different editions. Access the Odebrecht 70 Years icon on the ON website: www.odebrechtnoticias.com.br

“

I use the cable car to take my daughter to her medical treatments. Before, I needed to walk all the way down the hill to catch a bus. With the new transport system, it got easier and less expensive, since I receive the benefit of the free ticket because I am a resident here

”

– Débora Bezerra da Silva, resident of Complexo do Alemão.

COMMITTED TO A BETTER LIFE “I never imagined that after 25 years talking about river pollution and the related problems I could dream of showing my future grandchildren fish swimming here.” It is statements like this one, by teacher Sandra Chinchio, that reinforce Odebrecht Environmental’s commitment to seeking out solutions for improving the quality of life in the communities. Six years after the Business arrived to Mauá, São Paulo, the source of the Tamanduateí River, the third largest tributary of the Tietê River, located in the Gruta Santa Luzia Ecological Park, has already been cleaned up. This is just the initial result. In 2015, with the inauguration of a sewage treatment plant, 100% of the collected material will be treated, benefitting 360,000 inhabitants in the city. In the city of Uruguaiana, in Brazil’s Southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, another Odebrecht Environmental unit recorded a historical leap in its effluent collection and treatment rates during the some three years of the concession. Today, 54% of the sewage is collected and treated and 98.9% of the population has access to drinking water – which represents 12,000 people. “We are investing and working intensively in the city,” said Eduardo Frediani, Uruguaiana Concession Director. “It is a source of pride to be part of this growth and make the municipality a reference, with the highest sewage treatment rate in the state,” he said.

he commitment to the development of the Brazilian naval industry and preparation to begin production at a shipyard in Bahia recently earned some reinforcement. On May 19, the Enseada Indústria Naval (formerly the Enseada do Paraguaçu Shipyard) officially assumed its new brand and name – used since the start of the year, when the company name was changed. The new brand carries the name Enseada (which means “inlet”) and the colors red and white, with the endorsement of the naval industry term in reference to the Business’ operations along the entire production

application guide were also distributed. The newsletter Navigating Together, distributed in the region of Maragojipe, Bahia and available in blog format, featured a special story on the topic. On May 19, the press and public opinion makers received a press release about the change. The Business also updated its website and social networks and Members’ e-mails were changed to receive the ending “@enseada.com.” Gradually, the Business Environments began to display the color red in their visual communication materials, as well as in the signs, helmets and badge cords used by the team. “I really liked the new identity,” said

chain, which begins with the choice of the technology for assembling the shipyard and ends with the delivery of the vessel.

Catarina Schallenbach, responsible for People and Organization at the operations in Bahia. “Enseada Indústria Naval is a strong name that effectively represents our current and future challenges on a national and international level,” said Schallenbach.

FROM THE INSIDE OUT The Members were the first to learn the news. The brand was presented to them on May 14 as part of an e-mail marketing initiative. The professionals also learned about the new e-mail signature standard and the template for presentations. A visual identity manual and quick new brand

The Enseada Indústria Naval website address also changed: www.enseada.com

GROWTH ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNITY When the Business was founded, it was given the name “Paraguaçu Shipyard.” In 2010, during a public hearing with the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), the quilombola community leader Dona Noquinha asked Fernando Barbosa, Executive Director, to add the name Enseada in honor of the community where the Paraguaçu Unit shipyard is being built in Bahia. The company honored the request and the company changed its name to Enseada do Paraguaçu Shipyard. The request was taken a bit further, and today the company is simply Enseada. In addition to serving as a tribute to the community in which it is inserted, it represents the current moment, with preparations to begin the Bahia shipyard production and plans to expand its operations abroad as well. “The internationalization of the businesses and diversification of the company, which has assumed new challenges such as winning over new clients and expanding its operations, justifies the

adoption of the new name,” explained Humberto Rangel, Institutional Relations and Sustainability Director. Enseada (which means “inlet”) is easy to understand in different languages and projects the company into other industry segments besides naval construction,” explained Rangel.

n May 5, Odebrecht Infrastructure Brazil inaugurated the celebrations for the 100-year anniversary since the birth of Bahia architect, Diógenes Rebouças. The first of the activities is an exhibit with some 40 images from the projects and canvases of the also visual artist, on display at the Barra Lighthouse Square in Salvador. The works are displayed on 20 double-face totems produced from recycled wood and can be viewed until June 22. The action is an initiative promoted by Odebrecht, which is responsible for the requalification of the Barra coastline with the support of the Federal University of Bahia’s Brazilian Architects’ Institute (IAB-Bahia), National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) and the Salvador City Government. In addition to the exhibit at the Barra Lighthouse, the celebrations also included a religious mass held at the Saint Benedict Monastery on May 7, which is also the architect’s date of birth; an exhibit at the Bahia Art Museum open to the public since May 14 and a series of debates about the work of Diógenes, which will be held during the course of 2014. For André Vital, Senior Officer of Odebrecht for Bahia and Sergipe, celebrating the 100year anniversary since the birth of Diógenes Rebouças is an opportunity to pay tribute to

Professor Di贸genes was a friend and partner of Norberto Odebrecht. The most recent work was the recovery of the Saint Benedict Monastery in Salvador in the 1990s

Di贸genes Rebou莽as designed important projects for the city, such as the street Avenida Contorno, the former Fonte Nova Stadium and the former Bus Station

an important professional in Bahia’s modern history. “Professor Diógenes played a crucial role in Salvador’s development,” said Vital. “I hope that his example can inspire future generations in the search for the city’s sustainable growth.”

A MYTH OF BAHIA ARCHITECTURE Before he died in November 1994, Diógenes Rebouças was a professor at the Federal University of Bahia School of Architecture (UFBA) for more than three decades and one of the biggest names in Brazilian modern architecture. He was also part of the Salvador City Urban Planning Office (EPUCS) team. As a visual artist, sketch artist and painter, he surveyed the historical-iconographic aspects of 19th-century Salvador and recorded on canvas the city’s most expressive stretches, with streets, public squares, mansions, churches and landscape. In 1979, the Organization published the book Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos no Século XIX (“Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos in the 19th Century”), which records his documentary painting. The work became an important reference for studies and a second expanded and consolidated bilingual edition (Portuguese/English) was also published in 1985, with news and notes from Godofredo Filho, a presentation by Pedro Calmon, introduction by Thales de Azevêdo and graphic planning and design by Emanoel Araújo. The third edition was published in 1996 and turned the book into a major success, where the paintings can be seen together with practice sketches next to watercolors and old documented records by the author.

Inclusion of People with Disabilities In April, the Odebrecht Agroindustrial Social Energy for Local Sustainability program, working in partnership with the Teodoro Sampaio City Government, in São Paulo, and the Association for the Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities (AINDEF), promoted lectures on the rights of People with Disabilities (PCDs) and their inclusion in the job market. With a focus on promoting PCDs and increasing society’s awareness, the program invited Daniela Ferrari Kovács, an attorney specializing in Labor Law from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo and accompanied by Ronilson Aparecido da Silva, President of the São Paulo State Council for Topics Affecting People with Disabilities. The event, held at the Teodoro Sampaio Municipal Chamber, gathered some 240 people, including authorities and the local community,

to hear from the Head of the Accessibility Section of the São Paulo State 2nd Region Regional Labor Court (TRT). Daniela Ferrari Kovács is an attorney and specialist on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market and develops lectures to promote actions that value PCDs. “People need to know about the tools that are available in the market to facilitate the lives of those with disabilities who want to work,” said Kovács. Aligned with the Organization’s philosophy of valuing people’s development, Odebrecht Agroindustrial has promoted social actions focused on the PCDs since 2013 in the communities in which it is present. Approximately 970 people have already participated in the events promoted by the Business in the region of Teodoro Sampaio focused on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the job market.

In addition to serving as a meeting place for engineers from the city of Maracaíbo, the aquatic park offers swimming classes to youth from the local community free of cost

New Aquatic Park for Zulia In March, Odebrecht Infrastructure Latin America re-inaugurated the Zulia State Engineers’ Center Aquatic Park in Venezuela. The space revitalization project is part of the TechnicalScientific Cooperation Agreement established between Odebrecht and the Venezuela Engineers’ High School in 2012. Support was offered by the Nigale Bridge project, currently being built by the Business in the country. The space inauguration was attended by José Carlos Prober, Contract

Director; Roberto Novis, Commercial Manager and Darlan de Souza, Sustainability Manager, in addition to Alfonso Gutierrez, President of the Zulia Regional Campus of the Venezuela Engineers’ High School. In his speech, Alfonso Gutierrez highlighted Odebrecht’s participation in the country’s main infrastructure projects and the company’s concern about complying with the labor laws applicable to the Engineering profession.

Tribute to the Future

IBM Brasil joined forces with the Odebrecht Foundation to support Pratigi for Education, a project committed to the quality of public education in the municipalities of Nilo Peçanha, Ituberá, Piraí do Norte and Ibirapitanga in the Bahia Southern Lowlands. IBM Brasil, a partner in the Tribute to the Future program, directed new funding toward the 2013 campaign to promote the initiative. Created by the Pratigi Environmental Protection Area (EPA) Inter-Municipal Consortium (CIAPRA) and undertaken by the Pratigi EPA Guardian Association (AGIR) in partnership with the Chapada Education and Research Institute (ICEP) since 2013, Pratigi for Education was designed to improve the quality of basic education and increase the educational outcomes of the public schools located in the region of the Bahia Southern Lowlands.

Educational models are developed by involving those responsible for education – professors, educational coordinators, school principals, technical teams and municipal managers – to build collaborative networks focused on improving formal education and strengthening educational policies. The strategy used by Pratigi for Education to consolidate this new scenario is based on three lines of

operations that are interconnected: political mobilization, continued education and the production of knowledge. The project is designed to expand the concept of quality public education, assisting Preschool students and those from the first cycle of Elementary School. The project will last for three years and the idea is to make it a reference in Brazil in terms of creating a commitment to the

transformation of basic education. The goal is for the children to learn to read, write, interpret and put things into context based on their age and become less vulnerable to social risks. Through quality education, they will have access to knowledge, be prepared to exercise their citizenship and be able to work efficiently in the job market in order to build a better future.â&#x20AC;&#x201E;

The Commissioning team at the Enseada Indústria Naval Unit, located in Rio de Janeiro, has built an innovative system with water reservoirs to store and reuse the water collected for the spool (parts used to join the piping) hydrostatic tests. The reuse takes place through closed circuits (in carbon steel and stainless steel) that consist of pumps and piping, which transform the fluid used in the test to a water treatment box, where a product is then added to stabilize its composition. In this way, the same water can be used for new tests. The costs for the tests would be 1,342 m³ of water (equivalent to 1.342 million liters). With the new process, only 80 m³ (80,000 liters) will be used. “We are helping preserve the environment and saving our natural resources,” said Bernardino Nilton Nascimento, Commissioning Mechanic Coordinator.

The idea is to install Credit 360 during the second half of 2014 in the Business’ onshore and offshore environments, with the exception of the joint ventures and consortium platforms

Support When Managing Sustainability Indexes Members from the Odebrecht Oil and Gas Sustainability area are working to develop the new electronic tool Credit 360, designed to offer support during the administration of incident investigation processes; the management and monitoring of pending items from external or internal monitoring or other inspections; atmospheric emission inventory, elaboration of the Annual Report using the Global Report Initiative (GRI) standards and Document Control. The choice for Credit 360 was based on differentials such as technology and the data storage philosophy, the possible customization of modules to meet the needs of Odebrecht Oil and Gas as well as the cost-benefit calculation. For Fabiano Tavares, from the Sustainability area, the system represents innovation: “There is nothing like it in the oil and gas market in Brazil,” he said. During the first phase of the system installation, five modules will be offered: Accident Communication and Investigation, Pending Item Management, Document Control, Green House Gases, (Brazilian protocol) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). André Innocenzzi, from the Sustainability area at Odebrecht Oil and Gas, believes that with the Credit 360, it is possible to classify the accidents by type, ranging from the least to the highest impact. “This allows for the formation of better investigative teams to analyze and correct causes in order to ensure that the incident does not repeat itself,” he said.
