SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2012 For the second consecutive year, we present the Sustainability Report of the Gra単a y Montero Group for fiscal year 2012. This document is the result of a process of sustainable management improvement by the Group that started in 1995 with our Ethics Charter and was reaffirmed in 2011, when we took on the challenge to incorporate the methodology of the Global Reporting Initiative, a major referent in the preparation of sustainability reports. This Sustainability Report accounts for the progress made in 2012 and presents the new sustainability challenges that we take on enthusiastically. As a team, we will continue providing highly reliable engineering services, implementing and operating large infrastructure works, all of them in compliance with world-class standards, with a view to generating value for society.

professional growth to our collaborators, who are now more than 28,000 and make up a major competitive advantage in the industry. Our Grow and Share strategy and the sustainability of the various social responsibility programs that make up such strategy respond not only to the expectations of our stakeholders, but are also based on the responsible involvement and the commitment of the recipients. Examples of this are, as we explained in this Report, the social accompaniment programs in the new housing projects that we develop or build, or the development of the Metro Culture in the operation of Line 1 of the Lima Metro of which we are in charge, and where our clients become new agents of change and examples of good citizens. Our challenges for upcoming years will be much greater but, to face up to them we trust our corporate values of quality, compliance, seriousness and efficiency, the commitment of our great human team, and the significant growth projections for Peru and the countries in the region where we operate. Thus, we confirm our adherence to the Global Compact Principles and report on our progress in the sustainability area, in accordance with the guidelines and indicators of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) explained in this document.

Our Organization The Gra単a y Montero Group consists of 24 complementary firms that operate in six Latin American countries, organized in four segments: engineering and construction, infrastructure, real estate and technical services. Established almost 80 years ago, the Gra単a y Montero Group is a leader in the engineering services sector, with projects throughout Peru and operations in Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Panama. In line with its growth and diversification strategy, the Group has taken on new challenges of international projection and generation of steady flows, expanding its business lines. Our entry to the infrastructure concession business, in addition to the financial opportunity it affords to us as an organization, places us in a leading position in the development of Peru, by making us partners of the public sector, channeling private resources to operate public services in accordance with the highest standards. Thus, at present we are suppliers and operators of infrastructure that allows improving the quality of life of people, such as the Line 1 of the Lima Metro or the 5,000 km of roads operated by Concar. The internationalization process of recent years, which includes integration of the Chilean companies Cam in the electricity sector and Vial y Vives in the construction sector, added to our track record inspired by our corporate values of quality, compliance, seriousness and efficiency brings us closer to our vision of being the most reliable engineering services group in Latin America.

Sustainable Management at Gra単a y Montero GROUP The Gra単a y Montero Culture is at the core of our sustainability model, and we project it into society to promote civic growth through our Grow and Share strategy.

The Path to Sustainability Our commitment to social responsibility is expressed in our Ethics Charter (1995) and was formally incorporated to our business model in 2004, by our adherence to the United Nations Global Compact Principles. In 2010 we launched the Grow and Share strategy, laying the foundations for our present model, which includes growth of the various stakeholder groups with whom we relate as the basis of our growth. Thus, we project into and share with society our knowledge of the Gra単a y Montero culture, with education at the core and as a central objective. In 2012 we decided to enhance our commitment to education and knowledge by associating them with the civic development of individuals and institutions to which we target our various social responsibility activities and programs.

15


Our Sustainability Model PROMOTE CITIZENSHIP

Within our sustainability vision, we make every one of our activities as well as the implementation and operation of infrastructure an opportunity for a positive change in society, by sharing with our various stakeholder groups the knowledge and attitudes which support good citizen behavior. This is our Grow and Share strategy. In developing infrastructure, we go beyond contractual requirements, as we offer our clients, users and the community qualities that allow them to use such infrastructure for their own development and, at the same time, to see themselves as good citizens capable of performing their duties and exercising their rights, taking on a positive leadership, with respect for each other and undertaking constructive actions in our society. As the Gra単a y Montero Culture is the foundation of our sustainability model, the contribution and commitment of our collaborators is key to accomplish this goal. It is our collaborators, as individuals and as teams, who make the Gra単a y Montero Group a good corporate citizen who builds on the development of individuals, safe work, respect for the environment, relationships of trust with stakeholders and a value-based ethical behavior.

OUR Stakeholder Groups The proper management of our stakeholder groups involves developing transparent and trusting relationships with each of them, taking into account their expectations in connection with the activity of each of the Group companies. In 2011, as part of the first process of preparation of our Sustainability Report under the Global Reporting Initiative methodology, we identified and prioritized expectations and relevant issues for each stakeholder group, which was later used as input to design the various sustainable development plans in the main companies of the Group.

For the 2012-2013 period, we prioritized our management objectives based on the sustainability approach of the Group and the characteristics of each of our companies. Thus, we set two main sustainability challenges for the entire organization: waste management and the development of social investment projects with the community. Additionally, each company set goals in consistency with the characteristics of the sector in which they operate and their strategic business priorities.

Creation of Value We provide engineering services, and develop and operate infrastructure, all in accordance with international standards that exceed the expectations of our clients, and also allow us to share value with society. The knowledge and expertise of the professional teams that make up the Gra単a y Montero Group allow us to design, fund, build and operate infrastructure in accordance with international standards and operational excellence criteria, and thus generate value for our clients and users. Our commitment to our country goes beyond the development of projects that improve the quality of life of people. We want users of the new infrastructure to make them their own and recognize their value, using them properly for their own development and that of the community. This is why we instill knowledge and attitudes that allow them to grow as responsible citizens. Likewise, in developing our operations, we share value with the various communities associated with our projects. We impart training on subjects of our expertise to the local population to improve their employability, and provide our suppliers support to formalize and improve their conduct of business. In connection with the state, we become a strategic partner for the sustainable development of the country, by operating concessions with efficiency, quality and world-class standards.

Corporate Governance Our good corporate governance is based on policies and practices that uphold and promote compliance with the principles of ethics and transparency within the Group. The corporate governance of the Gra単a y Montero Group seeks to convey trust and transparency to the market and its investors, setting an ethical and responsible frame of action that strengthens sustainability of the organization. Since 1997, we are the only company in this sector listed in the Lima Stock Exchange and with significant shareholdings in the Private Pension Funds (AFPs). Our good corporate governance practices follow a continuous improvement process that allows us to act within the highest international standards. In this connection, in 2012 we issued our Code of Conduct, based on the Ethics Charter (1995), with a view to providing our collaborators with clear and precise behavior guidelines. Subsequently, training activities were conducted in all companies of the Group for all collaborators to disseminate them and gain insight into such guidelines. We will continue with this effort in 2013 to achieve extensive coverage of our human team. Likewise, we continued within the Good Corporate Governance Index of the Lima Stock Exchange and participated actively in the Companies Circle, a group of 19 Latin American companies with high standards of corporate governance.

Commitment to Our Collaborators Our collaborators are at the core of our success and make up our main stakeholder group. This is why we focus on their professional and personal development, within the guidelines of the Graùa y Montero Culture. Our human resources management system seeks to make up a committed and cohesive team that sees itself as key to the success accomplished and takes pride in belonging to the leading Group in the sector. Our competitive advantage builds on the experience and knowledge or our great team of collaborators. This is why, through our Learning to Grow strategy (2005), we seek to develop capacities, systematize the knowledge generated, and share it within the organization. In 2012 we started deployment of the Talent Development model, which seeks to further the training and growth of the Group’s professional that rapid growth of our business requires. This training effort is complemented by the ongoing dissemination of our corporate values and upholding of the Graùa y Montero Culture, characterized by promoting innovation and responsible empowerment of its collaborators.

33


Our Team The financial growth of the Group entailed a 17% increase in the number of collaborators to 28,654. Within these, the group of professionals increased by 16% to 5,575 in numbers, 3,657 of which are engineers from various areas of specialization. As of December 2012, direct worker collaborators totaled 11,885. This growth process in both the domestic and the international levels has been accompanied by a special effort towards cultural integration and assurance of our ability for attracting, retaining and developing human capital, within a working climate that generates trust, pride and comradeship.

Talent Development Since 2005, the Learning to Grow strategy and the Corporate Learning Center (CCA) have conducted knowledge management of the Group by creating spaces and mechanisms to generate, systematize and share the knowledge of the organization as a cornerstone for growth. Along these lines, in 2012 the Group started deployment of the Talent Development model, which seeks to further training and growth of our professionals considering three lines of action: i) specialized training for all levels, including the Senior Management; ii) the mentoring program; and iii) feedback from supervisory staff to collaborators. Success of the model is based on the contribution and commitment of three fundamental players: the company, the supervisor and the collaborator, and is based on 21 competencies associated with operational excellence, the relationship with the environment and actions for sustainability.

According to this measurement, 70% of the 11,764 workers of GyM, the construction company of the Group, are of the opinion that this is a great place to work. This is a major accomplishment for the organization, given the special characteristics and conditions of work at construction sites and the turnover generated upon completion of each project. Our workers account for 42% of our total workforce.

Occupational Safety and Health Our Risk Prevention Management System is based on a preventive culture aimed at ensuring occupational behaviors and conditions that guarantee the life and health of collaborators. At the Gra単a y Montero Group, the consolidation of an integrated risk prevention and environmental management system is based on the work of over 450 professionals who promote and support a preventive culture in accordance with the guidelines of OHSAS 18001. In consistency with our risk prevention corporate policy (1999), we conduct all of our activities with a view to eliminating or controlling all risks associated with the activities of the operation, through timely identification, continuous monitoring and the preparation of action plans in accordance with worldclass standards. To ensure compliance with these standards in our projects, we have Risk Prevention Committees in all of them. As of December 2012, the Electromechanical Divisions of GyM, GMI, GMP y Cam Chile and are OHSAS 18001 certified. Having obtained and maintaining these certifications reflect the strong commitment of the Group to risk prevention.

Safety and Risk Prevention Management Results In 2012, on a corporate level, the Accident Frequency Rate (FR) was 0.44 for a total of 93,076,536 hours worked, which reflects the appropriate safety management of all of the Group’s companies. This excellent result is especially relevant if we consider the sharp increase in the number of hours worked during the year.

Occupational Health

We also keep a detailed record of occupational health statistics, which provides us relevant information for the design and implementation of specific programs according to company, project and sector. Preventive health At Graña y Montero Group we undertake various actions to detect and prevent possible occupational diseases. Some of those are describe below: ■■ Health campaigns to inform of medical tests and attention in various areas, free of

charge and by specialized physicians. ■■ Occupational health presentations at company facilities, in charge of the Well-

being Area. ■■ Informational presentations on procedures in the event of disease or work

accident. ■■ Annual preventive checkup by the Health Care Provider (EPS). ■■ Preventive medical checkup during implementation of the project (worker

personnel). ■■ Presence of social workers at each of the projects to ensure health promotion.

They are the communication channel between the Well-being Area, collaborators assigned and workers. ■■ Gymnasium at the Headquarters, with an average of more than 200 registered,

equal to 22% of personnel working in this building. GyM’s Dental health campaign.

■■ In line with the promotion of a preventive culture among its collaborators in 2012

GMD, Viva GyM and the Holding established their Occupational Safety and Health Committees.

We implement actions for prevention and timely diagnosis of occupational diseases, both at the start and upon completion of our projects. This allows us to identify any health problems in time and monitor them to ensure a recovery process.

Sustainable Communities Our social responsibility policy promotes a harmonious and positive relationship with the stakeholders with whom we interact, based on respect and trust. At Gra単a y Montero Group we understand that the impact of our activities goes beyond the services we provide and the construction and operation of infrastructure. It also involves the development of citizens who acknowledge its value and take advantage of it and relate positively with their environment and contribute to its sustainability. This commitment with civic development is at the core of our Grow and Share strategy, which seeks to project our leadership, experience and values into society. During 2012, we set up to enhance our commitment to education and knowledge by associating it with civic development as a source and in support of people and institutions who exercise their rights and duties responsibly. This new approach allows us to build relationships of trust in the two main fronts: the communities in the immediate vicinity of the projects, and with other groups, such as the engineering or the business communities.

51


How we relate to our communities Local communities Through social investment programs such as Building Labor Capacities in Influence Areas, where GyM provides specialized training in civil construction work to facilitate employability. Engineering community Through spaces such as the PI Engineering Portal, that now has over 22,000 members, we promote sharing of knowledge in real time, and knowledge generation in the community to further a solid development of future engineers in Peru. Academic-scientific and university community We promote innovation and research through the the Graña y Montero Peruvian Engineering Research Award. The third edition took place in 2012, in the Professional and University Dissertation categories. This edition had 73 competitors from 11 cities of Peru. Professional community We promote the Lean Construction philosophy by sponsoring our first national conference on this field that sought to bring together the various industry players to

share experiences, success cases and other aspects. Business community Through the Practical Guide for Management of Projects with Social Responsibility (Guía práctica para la gestión de proyectos con responsabilidad social) published with Universidad del Pacífico, we promote the integration of sustainability to the various operational processes of organizations. In 2012, 500 copies were reprinted, and a second issue is planned for next year.

Social Responsibility The various social responsibility programs implemented over the year involved the generation of competencies based on knowledge and skills, as well as the promotion of an attitude change in the participants, so beneficiaries become positive leaders and agents of their own growth, within a frame of recognition and respect for others, and based on the generation of spaces and relationships of trust. An example of the above is the Social Accompaniment program (Ayni) of Viva GyM that has trained over 6,000 resident families of its new economical housing projects located in the peripheral areas of Lima. The goal is to build leadership, coexistence, integration and mutual respect. Espacio azul This is the non-profit civil association of the GraĂąa y Montero Group (2007) that promotes and channels the efficient implementation of social responsability plans and initiatives of the companies of the Group, mainly for the external front.

Some corporate initiatives promoted by Espacio Azul are the GraĂąa y Montero Corporate Volunteering Program which benefited more than 5,000 individuals, and also the University Thesis Program for Students which promotes dissertation development in engineering through a partnership with the Universidad Nacional de IngenierĂ­a.

In 2012, investment in social responsibility initiatives developed in the external front was over 2.1 million dollars and impacted on the lives of more than 132,000 direct beneficiaries, who received 284,996 man-hours in training. These initiatives were divided into training programs related to operations in our various companies or to social, financial or environmental investment programs.

Within the above programs, GMP stood out for the Works for Taxes Program, which allowed building the Youth House in Talara, Piura, and giving the Talara Provincial Municipality a modern and duly equipped building on an area of 1,780 m2. It should also be noted that during this year GyM implemented social responsibility programs for its influence areas in 79% of its projects nation wide and coverage by Concar was 92%.

Environmental Commitment At Gra単a y Montero Group, respect for the environment and its conservation, and compliance with environmental standards, are key commitments during development of all of our activities. The various companies of the Group operate within the frame of our Environmental Policy (1998), promoting respect for the environment and its conservation by implementing good practices in their operations, in strict compliance with applicable laws and the commitments willingly taken on in furtherance of sustainability. Implementation of environmental management plans responds to the specificities of each company and the risks identified within the context and in the analysis of the value chain. As a result, and within the frame of a preventive environmental culture aimed at complying with international standards in our operations, the companies GyM1, GMI, Stracon GyM2, GMP3 and Cam Chile have been certified under the ISO 14001 standard.

In 2012, 2,200 trees were planted close to the facilities of GMP. Viva GyM developed domestic wastewater recycling solutions for irrigation of the green areas of its real estate projects or of houses with environmental added value. This is the result of the professional commitment to innovation for the direct benefit of clients and the environment. Ecotec, a subsidiary of GMI, provides specialized environmental services such as, environmental management consulting, development of environmental remediation engineering projects, waste management, industrial maintenance, among others. Cam GyM offers metering and energy efficiency solutions to generation, distribution and industrial sector companies with high energy requirements.

Operational Environmental Management We seek to eliminate or minimize the negative impacts and maximize the opportunities identified as positive within the processes of our chain. Accordingly, our actions are focused on key matters such as water and energy consumption, waste management and biodiversity management. Water and Energy Consumption Management of these resources is performed in accordance with the characteristics of the business and is intended to save and improve the technology to make an efficient use of such resources. Water: ■■ GyM has treatment plants in place to return domestic wastewater to the sources upon being treated and systematically monitored. Also, GyM has a pilot program for camp infrastructure upgrading for efficient water use that is 40% implemented at the Antapaccay project of the Xstrata Copper mining company. ■■ During this year GyM conducted base measurements on water extraction at its main projects4 , resulting in 39.5 million m3 of water used at present, 2% of which is reused. ■■ At our head office in Surquillo we have conducted water saving campaigns and perform inspections to detect leaks. In 2012, water consumption at the Surquillo head office was 14,200 m3. Energy:

■■ In connection with direct energy consumption (gasoline, LPG and other

fuel), in 2012, GyM made a baseline of its main projects, according to which 23.1 million gallons were used every year. ■■ In 2012, head office of Graña y Montero Group in Surquillo (Lima) used 2.8 million Kw/h. Waste Management Waste management is aimed at developing initiatives to promote waste reduction and proper disposal. In 2012 we conducted a baseline measurement of our generation of solid waste at the Surquillo head office, where 1,131 collaborators work. Likewise, Concar and Cam Peru prepared a similar study of solid waste managed in their administrative offices.

Responsible Chain We promote an ethical conduct in our chain of suppliers, in accordance with our corporate culture, values and standards of conduct. We work hand-in-hand with a large number of suppliers who become important allies in the accomplishment of our business objectives and plans, in accordance with the excellence standards required by the projects we undertake. We share operating spaces and processes and, therefore, seek to share our knowledge, experience and culture as well. Furthermore, we establish relationships with small suppliers in the areas of influence of our projects nationwide. In this connection, we have local supplier development programs intend to provide our suppliers the tools and training required to improve their competitiveness and a conduct aligned with our values.

Pilot Program for Approval of Suppliers In 2012, GyM started a pilot project to improve the quality and technical efficiency of its supplier chain and promote a responsible conduct in accordance with company standards. For such purpose, GyM is working on the preparation of an approved supplier database in accordance with technical and social responsibility management criteria.

Local Supplier Management Growth of our infrastructure projects nationwide contributes to dynamize the economy of various localities as, in addition to the benefits of such projects themselves, we demand resources, products and services for their development. In 2012, the volume of local purchasing, understood as purchases from suppliers in the provinces, of the five largest companies of the Group was in the amount of 85 million dollars, which account for 12.3% of the procurement volume of these companies, which evidences the importance of local suppliers in the areas of influence of our projects.

Local Supplier Management GyM started a pilot project to improve the quality and technical efficiency of its supplier chain.

The information evaluated includes aspects associated with processes and the quality of products, but also topics relative to occupational safety and health, the environment, as well as respect for human rights and the community. In this pilot project, GyM has already approved 8 suppliers and GMP, who has also joined the initiative, has already certified 4 suppliers and 25 are awaiting the results.

Relationship with Our Clients Activities at Graùa y Montero Group are pursued keeping in mind the excellence of the services we offer our clients, beyond any contractual terms and as partners in our relationship. We have gained experience and leadership in responsible management of client relationships, whether delivering large infrastructure projects or providing international-standard engineering services, and established ourselves as socially responsible suppliers. This furthers the development of relationships of trust sustainable over time, based on the Graùa y Montero Culture, and our corporate values of quality, compliance, seriousness and efficiency. As part of our diversification strategy, we have developed new services, such as infrastructure concessions, which presents us with the major challenge of a new relationship: we have passed from client-company relationships to client-user relationships, where continuous interaction with millions of users is foremost. We have thereby taken on a new role as shapers of more connected and competitive cities that embrace new living standards based on the services offered and the unique value we provide. Our management approach and system of the client – user relationship, based on the Grow and Share strategy, gives users an active role, involving them as citizens acting responsibly as they exercise their duties and rights in connection with our services.
