11,7% CONSOLIDATED OPER ATING PROFIT 2012/13
The year 2012/13 was a record year for our company despite a challenging global climate. Continued stagnation in large parts of Europe coupled with the ECB bailouts of Greece and Cyprus put major pressures on all our customer segments and created unprecedented unemployment and depression in the Euro-zone. Nevertheless Newrest was fortunate to benefit from strong growth in the Middle-East, Africa and South America markets. Overall it was a solid financial, operational and safety performance for the group in a tough year. The Group’s excellent result was driven first and foremost by an excellent operating performance by Division Europe, due to focused leadership, disciplined cost management and effective execution. The division also won the largest rail catering contract in history with the award by the SNCF of its high-speed and intercity catering contracts in France with expected turnover in excess of 200 million Euros per annum over the next 5-years. Newrest is now effectively global market leader the rail catering sector. The Americas Division disappointed, as we continue to struggle with some legacy issues of poor operational and financial past practice; nevertheless the division improved strongly during the year. A highlight for the division was the opening of our Newrest Inalsa subsidiary in Panama, which is managing all the site hospitality for Minera Panama, a mine and port project that will grow to in excess of 5’000 staff on site at maturity. Having split our Africa Division into 3 distinct zones under dedicated COO’s, the division showed strong improvement in the year, increasing operating profits by 27,9% and opening a number of new sites and countries in the year. Finally our Middle-East & Asia Division had mixed results with strong results in Saudi Arabia & Oman and a disappointing year in the Philippines. An exciting development was the founding of our new Joint Venture, Newrest Gulf, with our partner OQSI, in Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE.
In the year we launched our 3-year strategic plan founded on six key themes: training & development of our staff, productivity and competitivity, quality enhancement and control, innovation and improvement of our commercial offering, and rigor & discipline in our financial and legal systems. We have reviewed and refocused our leadership structure, having bolstered our operating leadership in zones in Africa and the Middle East as well as in support services in finance, internal audit and the Rail division. We will continue to aspire to be an industry leader in productivity and innovation while always respecting the cultures and social environments we work within. We are committed to allocating capital in a balanced and disciplined manner, but with a clear priority on long-term growth. We continue to cautiously invest in targeted value-adding acquisitions, respecting our strict internal guidelines, with a special interest in acquiring complementary skills and capabilities for our group. We remain dedicated to organic growth and therefore invest considerable resources in Product Development, R&D and Human Development, conscious of the fact that these elements are key to widening our scope and scale of activity.

NEWREST ACTIVITY REPORT 2012/13 - 1. INTRODUCTION
10
We strive to be a "family" company, constantly learning from our customers, our competitors and each other. We firmly believe that strong, unified teams with great people consistently outperform individuals. We constantly remind ourselves that while relative size can be a benefit, it can also cause harm if not managed carefully. We believe that size can breed arrogance, bureaucracy and a sense of entitlement. We wish to avoid complexity stifling innovation and smothering productivity. It is essential that growth does not let us lose touch with our customers and our people. Finally, size can cause a big companies to lose accountability, purpose and direction. We will fight to maintain our "challenger" spirit and status. We will strive to retain and improve our family company entrepreneurial DNA. We will seek to use the benefits of our relative size while retaining the positive elements of an entrepreneurial start-up. We have concentrated heavily in the year on quality. We launched a global program for ISO certification of all of our units and companies world-wide as we have noted that our customers appreciate and recognize the investment of time and energy in a flawless, audited quality process. We have taken steps to improve our ecological practices, and effectively reduce our environmental footprint. Wherever possible, we try to mitigate the impact of our sector on the environment, in cooperation with our clients. We try to integrate strongly into the local environments and cultures where we work, both in respect to our host countries and in the hope that we can bring value and skills to local employees.
Finally we are highly conscious that our significant growth rate brings with it challenges in complexity and scope of activity, particularly as we grow fast in emerging markets. We will manage our growth responsibly and carefully, using the important key qualities of entrepreneurs; entrepreneurs get things done and are driven by clear goals. They focus on customers and people, and they strive to solve problems instead of inventing new ones. Entrepreneurs put decision makers close to operations, they use judgment and intuition, move fast, execute and are instantly accountable. Entrepreneurs deliver for their customers and never resort to justifying mistakes or errors. Finally, true entrepreneurs learn from their mistakes and strive to improve and assure they are not repeated. We wish to remain a company of entrepreneurs, with purpose and direction and clear accountability, delivering value every day to our stakeholders world-wide. We wish to thank our customers for their loyalty and fidelity, our staff for their devotion, dedication and allegiance, and our stakeholders for their trust and confidence.

Europe Division
In France and the French West Indies, 2013 was a crucial year in terms of business challenges won by local and matrix teams. Performance in France is solid and its progression is steady thanks to optimised asset management by the Europe Division and to benefits resulting from its productivity plan.
Despite difficult economic conditions that continued throughout 2013, the Europe Division continued to improve its performance. Turnover rose by 2.5% with commercial dynamism that remained strong, while profits increased by 13.6%.
S
pain was able to offset the decline in airline passenger traffic by obtaining new commercial contracts. Great efforts were made in terms of its organisation but also in the reduction of general overhead costs.
Despite a sharp increase in food prices and no improvement in their economic conditions, Greece and Portugal are nonetheless demonstrating positive results. In Cyprus, excellent management, notably at the procurement level, increased profits by 76%, a result undeterred by the unprecedented economic crisis that has hit the country. Croatia’s performance was similar, with a 32% increase in its results. In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, certain airlines streamlined their services. The Group helped them in their approach by working on ways to improve their competitiveness. Switzerland, launching new mass catering activities, was able to find operational and economic synergies, enabling the branch to improve its result by 148%. The rail sector saw good results in Austria and in France, unlike in Portugal where the market is particularly bleak. The Duty Free sector remains a highly competitive market. It is a difficult sector and currently has stagnant consumption per passenger.

In France, an in-depth operation was carried out throughout 2012/13 in order to restore clear objectives targeting operational excellence in all centres. It was completed by key management training, as well as targeted recruitment to solidify management teams.
Meanwhile, Newrest inflight France worked with its teams to improve its production processes in order to optimise its capabilities and quality. Anxious to offer a framework of increasingly high-performance relationships to its clients, this subsidiary implemented a comprehensive plan for the certification of its production units and related services. This certification scheme is broken down into three main steps: ISO 9001-2000 certification for business relationships (obtained in May 2013), ISO 9001-2000 certification for company asset and equipment management (underway, the certification audit is scheduled for November 2013) and finally, ISO 9001-2000 certification for production processes (the certification audit is scheduled for May 2014). At the Orly unit, the composition of revenues was modified with the loss of the Royal Air Morocco contract and the gain of the logistics component of the Elvetino contract. This activity supplemented the operations already in place for food production, integrating the delivery of equipment and beverages for service on board. Newrest Inflight France’s expertise is thereby strengthened in the field of production for railway services.

from early 2013/14 on the entire pool of computers for on-board sales for all airlines, thus fulfilling the Group’s commitment to professionalise this activity. The Charles de Gaulle unit on the other hand has seen its business increase significantly with the arrival of new clients and growth in clients’ fleets of A380s - for example, Emirates and Thai International. These increases in capacity helped offset the unfortunate loss of customers such as Etihad due to financial constraints. In terms of human resources, Federico Alvarez succeeded Hugues Castagna as Commercial Director. Hugues has meanwhile joined the operational teams of Newrest France.
Duty Free has remained stable since 2012 and the opening of the Buy-On-Board service on certain routes, such as Portugal for Aigle Azur and the Middle East for Air Méditerranée, have become real growth areas.
Airshop France, a subsidiary of Newrest Group, saw the gradual introduction of a new warehouse on the Charles de Gaulle base in 2012/13. This helped to better meet the expectations of airlines such as XL Airways, which has decided to offer only Buy-on-Board services for its medium-haul flights and to integrate a second Buy-on-Board service into its long-haul flights to the United States. This new concept will be 100% operational at the beginning of fiscal year 2013/14. New technologies for transmitting flight data have been tested and will be implemented
In terms of human resources, it should be noted that following the departure of Valerie Edwards, Alain Cecchi took office as Director General of Airshop in February 2013.

As part of these contracts, ILC performs daily management for catering operations (PAX & PEQ order services), quality monitoring, and logistics for all MPL products at about 20 storage points, as well as related accounting, purchasing and product management on board. The first contract was signed with Corsair. The target for the second year was achieved with results even exceeding guaranteed savings. On the second contract with Aigle Azur, the closing results of its second year are still being audited by the company. A decision was taken to terminate 2 minor contracts in October 2012 for profitability reasons. However, Airshop Solutions remains quiet confident on this point: the objectives were met and the contract complied with. 2012/13 will be the last contract year for both clients (May 2013 for Corsair and September 2013 for Aigle Azur). The Group is eager to respond to new calls to tenders. For Seashop, the beginning of this fiscal year was devoted to discussions about the sustainability of our partnership with Corsica Ferries. The trust shown by Corsica Ferries brought huge honour to this Group subsidiary. Thanks to this exceptional relationship, this contract had been extended for 3 years in balanced financial conditions. Despite extremely adverse economic conditions on many commercial lines, Seashop teams in France have demonstrated creativity and initiative so as to always provide more innovation and products to its customers. Thanks to a bold sales and marketing strategy, sales, services and tools all increased significantly. In terms of human resources, Giulia de Marinis joined the Seashop team, replacing J茅r么me Gaignault as Director of Operations. For his part, J茅r么me joined our remote site teams in Africa for other missions. In parallel with these activities, Seashop started negotiations with other shipping companies in order to develop its know-how.

F
inally, for Newrest Wagons-Lits in France, this year was devoted to achieving two main goals: a return to profitability in line with the Group’s standards, and the response to SNCF’s call to tenders, the specifications of which were issued in December 2012. The final decision was announced in July. On this occasion, a joint venture was created to meet the formidable challenge of reinventing catering services on board high-speed trains, as well as on inter-city networks in France, and to better respond to all of the tender’s requirements. Combining Newrest’s renowned expertise (for the choice of supplies and for service offered on trains) with that of Elior (for catering to passengers at stations through innovative offerings and the implementation of recognised brands) is a key success factor for future catering services on trains. In addition to being selected to handle traditional sales on trains, Newrest Wagons-Lits in France was also awarded the task of determining the complete on-board offer and products. In direct communication with SNCF’s teams responsible for on-board catering, Newrest Wagons-Lits’ teams will have the pleasure of demonstrating the Group’s expertise.

The economic environment in Spain is still very uncertain and Spanish companies in general have become highly savingsoriented. In addition, AENA increased its entire pricing policy, leading to a restructuring of the modus operandi of airlines, in particular Air Europa. An exit plan for the AENA facilities was triggered in six of Newrest Spain’s units. The first in Valencia will become operational in January 2015. The Madrid unit was restructured, allowing the site to remain profitable. Efforts were additionally made in the supply chain where a global offer was launched to stabilise food prices. In January 2013, Newrest Spain was granted ISO 9001 certification. Halal certifications for the CPU were also renewed in Madrid and Barcelona.

Belgium Generally speaking, Airshop Belgium was able to keep its turnover constant in 2012/13, despite a reduction in the sector’s business and a persistent crisis. With the renewal of 2 seasonal contracts with Turkish companies, a remarkable 33% turnover increase brought by these 2 clients should be noted. This increase is due in part to the integration of the Buy-On-Board service, as well as other services adapted to airline companies’ specific needs, contingent on clients and destinations. Overcoming the loss of JetAirFly at the end of 2012, the remaining team was able to demonstrate cohesion and flexibility in order to maintain quality service. Positive feedback was received, especially from Luxair, which renewed its contract in 2013. Airshop Belgium is currently working with this company to set up a Buy-On-Board option for certain destinations. The Thomas Cook company seems equally promising. It is currently in the midst of a restructuring and is actively working on incorporating Buy-On-Board on all its flights in 2014. The year 2014 promises a bright future for Airshop in Belgium.

The main event of 2012/13 in Newrest’s inflight business in the Netherlands was the change in Amsterdam’s inflight market due to the buy-out of Alpha Inflight Services by Gate Gourmet in November 2012. This will give Newrest in the Netherlands opportunities to expand our business in Schiphol Airport. Schiphol is reaching its maximum capacity for the holiday and leisure market. New routes deployed to Schiphol are mainly handled by Middle Eastern carriers.

2012/13 has been a successful year for inflight business: Air Astana has become a new customer in March 2013, including 6 flights per week (44’000 meals served per year). Since April 2013 we also serve Ryanair, catering 1 flight per day. Finally, we welcomed Iran Air to our client’s portfolio in Amsterdam, serving 2 flights per week with 20’000 in house made meals per year. Newrest Inflight has improved productivity by implementing a procedure whereby consolidation takes place directly on the shop floor. This eliminates two side steps in the total process and this new set-up allows for better control of stock. In order to stay competitive in the Amsterdam market, a halal kitchen is required. The new halal kitchen will be finished by the end of 2013. Newrest Inflight is ready for the future. In collaboration with Newrest Group, the certification process for ISO 9001 and ISO 22001 has been initiated. The goal is to achieve certification in 2014. Concerning Airshop Solutions, the loss of ArkeFly in 2013 had a huge impact on the budget for the Netherlands. ArkeFly decided to insource the purchase of Buy-OnBoard and Duty Free products. The main focus of Airshop Solutions is to find new business for coming years to ensure its growth and continuity. Another objective is to identify more synergies with Airshop Belgium in order to reduce costs and gain new business in Benelux. The management structure has changed: Marcel Jurjus took over from Bart van Schagen as General Manager in June 2013. Also in June 2013, John Heemskerk was appointed Executive Chef, replacing Arjen Ten Pas. Finally, in September 2013, Michelle Van Zutphen was appointed Quality Manager.

Despite the difficult economic climate Newrest Servair in the UK is experiencing in the air transport industry, in 2012/13 its performance was solid. The operation has risen to the challenges of higher complexity and lower margins by driving productivity and strengthening Newrest Servair’s relationship with key suppliers. By working with its customers, it has been able to maximise the supply chain often generating greater value for its customers. This has allowed the company to extend and renew all its customer contracts, most notably with British Airways City Flyer who have granted a 3 year contract extension. This demonstrates the strength of its relationships and the trust its customers have in Newrest Servair in the UK. The operation in Glasgow airport has transitioned to fully in-house final mile operations. This has created a stronger operation with greater flexibility and compliance. This proved to be the right decision as Newrest Servair doubled its results compared with previous years. The charter operations have increased in volume, with very strong performance, which has been recognised by customers.

In 2012/13, Newrest Greece continued to be embroiled in the persisting economic crisis in Greece. The number of flights and passengers to Athens and Thessaloniki remained low due to the continuing crisis.

However, after a slow winter period, inflight catering in Greece had a strong and successful high season, mainly due to the significant increase in volume in its island unit operations, which resulted in a yearly turnover decline of only 4% compared with the previous year.

The strategy adopted by Newrest Greece was to promote itself eastward, as tourism from Russia and Eastern Europe is growing, especially to the Greek Isles. In 2012/13, Newrest’s inflight activities were honoured to enter into a new collaboration throughout the Greek network with Rossiya, Orenair, UTAir (via the Goldair Group), Ryanair and Private-Flight.com, as well as with Etihad in Athens. Following its main customer’s (Aegean) route expansion, as the Peloponnese is becoPRODUCTION ming a very important tourist area, service for direct UNITS INFLIGHT international flights from Kalamata was provided for the first time. Finally, Newrest Greece is proud to announce and welcome a new partnership with Olympic Air starting in November 2013.

2012/13 was not a good year for catering activities in Greece; results were affected by the loss of a number of existing contracts, and the development target was not achieved despite active participation in tenders. A contract was signed with OTE, a large private telephone group, where 200 meals have been provided daily since July 2103. Key challenges for 2013/14 in the inflight business are the integration of Olympic Air into operations in Athens and Greece, and the future impact of the merger between A3 and OA on Newrest Greece. Regarding institutional catering, major development is not foreseen for next year due to the market situation; the target is to focus on retention of the client portfolio for staff meals and the healthcare sectors, to optimise OTE operational results, and to consolidate the

Due to good team communication, hard work and a dedicated staff, Newrest Greece was able to surpass its objectives and achieved better than projected results. Continuing to uphold these values is the key to ultimately reaching the Group’s goals for 2013/14.
Reunion Island In 2012/13, Newrest Reunion won the contract that had been the subject of a Corsair International invitation to tender. To satisfy this client, the Group launched major investments, building a new catering unit that covers 1’000 m2. This production unit was inaugurated in May 2013 and is exclusively dedicated to inflight catering. It fully complies with the most recent international hygiene standards, and will be able to fulfil demand from other clients in Reunion Island. Air Austral renewed its contract with the other subsidiary in Reunion Island, Airshop Reunion, which illustrates the quality of its know-how and expertise. During the same year, Newrest Reunion broadened its range of business sectors: it is now present in the island’s airport concessions. Further to a number of consecutive invitations to tender, the management company for the Roland Garros Airport in Reunion awarded Newrest a contract for the design and operations of a bar, snacks and creamery outlet, which has been open since October 2012. In 2013, the Group received sanitary accreditation after implementing and applying HACCP rules in the catering unit and retail concessions.

For Newrest Portugal, 2012/13 was a positive year, with growth of 26,2% in total turnover compared to last year, thereby avoiding the major economic and social recession in Portugal. The commitment to extend activities to various sectors, in line with Newrest Group’s philosophy, allowed the company to bypass a difficult economic situation. In this framework, Newrest Portugal is mostly involved in inflight catering, but also rail catering, retail concessions and group catering. Additionally, Newrest was also able to take major steps forward in Portugal by improving productivity, establishing synergies between the various units and the Group, and ensuring cash flow availability.

In the rail sector, the situation is stable in terms of sales: to our great satisfaction, the ALFA Pendular contract was renewed for another year. In terms of inflight catering, turnover rose further to an increase in the number of Easyjet airplanes served at Lisbon Airport and the renewal of many other contracts. With regard to group catering, Newrest Portugal achieved new sales thanks to its know-how and quality service: a new contract was signed in July 2013 with Prego Gourmet in Lisbon. Concerning human resources, the successful implementation of cost reductions in the Portuguese structure should be mentioned, based on the centralisation of services, the optimisation of administrative costs and synergies between the different business areas. For the upcoming year, Newrest Portugal intends to continue with the encouraging progress made this year and also to enter new business sectors, such as VIP catering (Festival Optimus Alive) and retail concessions (Prego Gourmet).

French West Indies
In 2012/13, production capacity in the West Indies increased significantly thanks to the construction of a new 900 m2 unit in Fort de France. The redevelopment and optimisation of the Point à Pitre unit brought total capacity from 600 m2 to 800 m2, in order to provide services to Corsair Fly since early May 2013 on the FDF-ORY and PTP-ORY routes. This tender was awarded at the end of 2012. Newrest’s turnover in the West Indies, which is exclusively based on the inflight sector, should increase by almost 70% in 2013. The Fort de France unit (plan-based) was designed so as to be as autonomous and ergonomic as possible. It has extensive capacity both for negative cold storage and dry storage. Today, it is a reference unit in the West Indies. The Point à Pitre unit, for its part, has benefited from many re-fittings, and its production capacity has increased as well. The Raizet premises, close to the runways, allows for even greater responsiveness. In 2012/13, in the West Indies, Newrest received excise bonding warehouse accreditation from Martinique and Guadeloupe’s customs authorities. It can therefore now offer additional storage and procurement services to its clients for alcoholic beverages.

In 2012/13 Newrest Cyprus found itself facing the Cypriot banking crisis, which has seriously affected foreign and domestic investment into the Cypriot banking industry. Cypriot consumers’ disposable income has fallen drastically, and the lack of lending power has caused severe cash flow issues throughout the private and public sectors. However, one shining industry throughout this debacle was tourism, not only from the new Russian frontier, but also from the Middle East and traditional Western European markets.

Newrest Cyprus’ challenge was to develop new processes in order to handle the projected increase of passengers and to reduce the potential for bottleneck situations throughout the Larnaca unit. The first step was to tighten the production flow and increase efficiency in an already strong operations department, followed by consolidating procurement with Newrest Greece. The results were positive and all of the targets for 2012/13 were exceeded. In 2013, Newrest Cyprus received halal certification and was honoured to sign Etihad on as its first Middle Eastern Airline. Additionally, Newrest in Cyprus managed major programme increases by Russian and Scandinavian airlines, and its tour operator Transaero continued to expand its market leadership from Russia by increasing its flight programme to both Larnaca and Paphos airports. A contract with Orenair was awarded and SAS beat expectations with a new, broader programme. Due to these factors, inflight sales in Newrest Cyprus increased by an impressive 30% in the year. In the catering sector, projected development in hospitals did not materialise; an existing contract with an asylum was terminated in March due to the financial crisis and lack of government funds. However, Newrest Cyprus won a contract for the catering of a new detention centre located in Menoyia with a

Switzerland Group catering in Switzerland in 2012/13 was consolidated thanks to the stabilisation of the teams and operating results that are encouraging in a highly competitive environment. The move from the old to the new World Labour Organisation restaurant in April 2013 was important for the image and professional reputation of the company among clients in the B&I sector. Contracts signed in 2012 allowed for internal promotion among the Newrest Canonica teams. The main goal of this action, in line with the Group’s promotional policy, was to create synergies between inflight catering and group catering. All of the Newrest Canonica restaurants in Switzerland are certified "Fourchette Verte" - a label that promotes a balanced diet in a healthy environment. Turnover from the catering department increased thanks to the daily commitment and work of the teams and the renewed trust of clients illustrated by the contracts signed (EBACE, as well as the acquisition of new clients, such as the Canton of Geneva and the U.S. mission). The inflight business saw the arrival of United Airlines with two daily flights (New York and Washington). In parallel, British Airways put an end to its "night-stop" further to the implementation of packaged meals from London for flights to and from Switzerland. The VIP flight market dropped significantly due to the departure of many airplanes based in Geneva to other airports. In terms of operations, the unit improved structurally with the addition of new storage capacity that can accommodate a 20% increase in the number of pallets.

From an operational point of view, the past year confirmed the Group’s expectations: retail and VIP inflight sectors became increasingly important at the Dubrovnik Airport; consequently so did the need for the Croatian company to expand its focus on these activities. Therefore, the kitchen staff was trained by their colleagues from the Nice branch, the VIP menu was updated, and, finally, the hot kitchen underwent a complete remodelling and was newly equipped. Also, the Group efforts to deliver products and services of the highest quality resulted in a 55% increase in VIP activity. Newrest Croatia expects the potential of this particular sector to grow exponentially in the coming years. Therefore its focus will be on further training of its employees and developing the VIP team. By the end of 2012/13, the HACCP procedures had been successfully implemented: certification was issued by the local health authority in Dubrovnik.

Newrest Wagons-Lits Austria provides high quality service and real operational synergies: a complete activity including logistics, cleaning, catering and other railway activities.’’
Austria The 2012/13 year was positive for Austria, with the night trains clearly identified as an important element of its economic success. The on-board service concept brought by Newrest Wagons-Lits to Austria provides high quality service and real operational synergies: a complete activity including logistics, cleaning, catering and other railway activities.
In 2013, the Austrian branch successfully extended its ISO certifications: ISO 9000 (Quality) and ISO 14000 (Environment). With so many positive elements regarding its service, Newrest’s Austrian branch - which has already responded to ÖBB’s call for tender for a contract extension in March 2014 - is confident in the future of its activities in the next fiscal year.
Following the opening of a new route in December 2012 by the ÖBB linking Vienna and Milan, passenger traffic increased by 51%. This success is obvious in the Austrian branch’s turnover: over the last two years, the on-board sales per passenger revenue have doubled (+29% in 2013 alone), and the number of traveller complaints dropped by half (-50%, -25% in 2013 alone). The success of Austrian night trains also results from the qualitative policy at Newrest Wagons-Lits Austria for their products. The branch brought in snacks, fresh products, a new coffee system, etc., all the while keeping costs under control. The HR department in Austria had to handle the delicate subject of reducing man hours implemented in the railway sector (reduction to 38,5 hours per week). The solution was creative and original: Newrest Wagons-Lits negotiated for a sixth paid vacation week, which highly motivated the teams and allowed us to gain better control over labour costs.

operational and commercial performance meant that final results nearly matched the objectives set by the Group. This was possible thanks to the outstanding performance of the airport retail business, which has been continuously progressing for the past two years. The Moroccan projects - mostly revolving around the ATASA acquisition - will therefore allow Newrest to diversify its activities, particularly with the new 2014 airline catering activities in Morocco. Algeria, the zone’s underachiever, has had a bad year as a result of changes in its General Management and support departments. The airport retail business in Algiers has not had the expected results. The remote sites located in Hassi Messouad, once again, did not develop as initially anticipated. Today, thanks to its new management that complies with the Group standards, Algeria must imperatively renew its retail business with the Algiers airport, develop its catering business around Algiers and double its activities in remote sites in the South of the country.
he zone has increased its turnover by 10% over last year and therefore exceeded its budget by 1,1%. In terms of earnings, the zone held short of its budgeted targets principally due to Algeria’s poor performance.

Catering and retail business sales have dropped by 7% during the 2012/13 fiscal year. This was due to non-replaced expired catering contracts. As for the retail business in the Houari Boumediene airport, sales have recorded a 12% increase essentially resulting from increased air traffic in Algiers but also by our revamped product offering and high-quality services.

Once again, competition has been fierce, resulting in Newrest Morocco losing 3 important contracts in the year. These Public-sector contracts (OCP headquarters, FES UHC and IRFC) accounted for almost 6% of last year’s turnover. We also lost two of our most important catering clients (YAZAKI and AWSM) who represented 3% of our 2012/13 turnover. Fortunately in January 2013, Newrest Morocco was able to offset these losses and finish the fiscal year with a considerable turnover increase (+1% compared to 2011/2012). Starting a contract with ONUSC (Moroccan public university) and signing 14 new catering restaurants in 2012/13, were the main reasons for this financial recovery. Amongst others, key clients are ONDA, SAMIR, OCP in Laayoune, SEWS, RMA, NCESNT, MATIS and RFM. Our Moroccan teams were also able to provide services to numerous summer camps with the support of all the subsidiary’s clients. Newrest Morocco, who has served more than 1,3 million meals during these school holidays, continues to specialize and establish their expertise in this field.

Tourism, which represents 7% of the GDP and 20% of contributions in foreign currency, has increased by 2,3% in profits but is still experiencing a 10% deficit versus 2010. The quickly rising inflation and tensions around Dinar exchange rates have generated commercial tensions and unprecedented price wars. Social tension was eased before the summer but caused numerous strikes in all sectors. Increasing political disputes should lead to a new coalition. For Newrest, airline catering has experienced a renewal of activity totalling 5 million TND but gross earnings are still negative because of new social conditions from 2011/12 negotiations. The airport retail activity has been restructured around the Monastir airport, which experienced a drop in traffic with the Enfidha inauguration. However, operations saw a 15% pick-up during the summer. Programs related to events and product promotion have intensified to compensate for the tax hike, in particular the +70% add-on for alcohol. Catering has strengthened its position despite the noteworthy closure of ENI sites in July; another symbol of economic tensions linked to the country’s social and political climate. The contracts for Lycée Pierre Mendes France and Total stations have been successfully renewed. Newrest in Tunia provides upmarket catering services, asserting their image as a professional partner. The year’s activity will therefore be subject to the country’s political, economic and social contingencies.

CGA Newrest also provides on-demand VIP services and deliveries of meals to sites, as was the case over 3 months on the occasion of the construction of the five-star Palm Camayenne hotel (75 meals per day). Within the human resources office, Kaba Nia replaced Fofana Karamö as Financial Manager. Full HACCP training was provided in the unit in June 2013 and a hygiene representative was appointed. Awareness training on safety for ground crews was also provided in January with a view to ISO 9001 certification in 2014. The unstable political environment having had a major negative impact on the mining market in Guinea, CGA Newrest is waiting for the country’s economic recovery to move into this sector. This recovery is expected by 2015.

Newrest Senegal launched its business in September 2011 with on-board duty-free sales for its only client, Senegal Airlines, on 2 to 3 flights per day. Newrest Senegal’s business and turnover remain unstable, however, due to recurring aircraft breakdowns. To boost turnover in upcoming months, the Group is rewarding and promoting its best sales representatives once per quarter by incentivising them with perfumes, cosmetics, and other gifts. We have also implemented a system where when a product is no longer in the catalogue, sales are organised for personnel. Newrest Senegal negotiated the use of Central Africa’s Franc with Senegal Airlines’ financial managers. This will be implemented for onboard sales in the near future.
Senegal Airlines has announced that it wants to open two other flight itineraries next year. This is uncertain, but would have a positive impact on the turnover of the Senegalese business. In addition to inflight, and to extend its range of services, Newrest Senegal is also considering a positioning within the new airport under construction, the inauguration of which is scheduled for 2015. The goals would be retail management: bars, restaurants and a dutyfree shop.

Launched in March 2012, Newrest Cameroon is responsible for the management of remote sites for Perenco Cameroon and Perenco Rio del Rey. Over the past year, turnover in this entity increased by more than 30%. This rise is in part due to the increase in the number of meals served on the two offshore sites as well as 2 new contracts. In the framework of their drilling business, Soletanche Bachy and Africa Onshore Drilling have asked Newrest to manage their remote sites. To secure supplies, Newrest Cameroon has started to import foodstuffs, in particular savoury and sweet items, and frozen products (meat, fish, fruit and vegetables). Ensuring the sustainability of these imports is a key lever in securing procurement and logistics.

For its part, Zambia launched a non-inflight business to replace the Ecole Française Champollion. In 2013, a merger in South Africa gave birth to the new Dnata Newrest company. Finally, on 3 September 2013, Newrest Mozambique was launched.
As the market in South Africa has a history of price dumping in Johannesburg and Cape Town, this market saw a major erosion of its earnings, leading Newrest’s management to partner with Wings Inflight Services in order to create the new Dnata Newrest company. Since its management was renewed in the 2012/13 fiscal year, this new company has finally reached the balance required to re-launch its business for the 2014 budget. Ghana also suffered a decrease in its sales in excess of 20% further to the arrival of an aggressive rival. Fortunately, Ghana continued to position itself in the remote site segment and signed a major mining contract with Goldfields for 4’000 people.
Newrest Zambia was completely reorganised with the arrival of a new Country Manager, a new Financial Manager and the reduction by half of its expatriates. The ageing inflight catering unit improved slowly and will continue its renovation efforts in 2014 in order to offer airlines services that meet the highest hygiene standards possible.

As part of its development in Southern Africa, Newrest launched its business in Mozambique. Mozambique is becoming an increasingly strategic area in the region. With major discoveries of gas reserves, oil exploration and many coal mines already in operation, the economy of this country shows high potential. Mozambique’s GDP has increased by over 7% every year for the past 10 years. Newrest Mozambique should allow the Newrest Group to progress in non-household catering sectors by consolidating its presence in Southern Africa. Newrest is already present in Angola, Zambia, Uganda, Madagascar and South Africa.

Further to this change, and to satisfy this new client and maintain the level of quality service provided to existing clients, Newrest Madagascar underwent a thorough restructuring as another modus operandi is now required. New departments were therefore created, such as Maintenance.

The consolidation of our position in Block 17 with the start of the contract with Intership for the management of the barge Lancelot as well as the opening of a second Bourbon ship gives us a competitive edge and critical mass. More than 35 containers are now dedicated to offshore logistics. The finalisation of the deployment on the Sonils base gives Newrest the logistical means to support future development. The retail activity faced major growth with the opening of Total’s TTA2 site. More than 550 meals are served every day in a state-of-the-art facility. In support of this significant growth, the Group has provided Newrest Angola with important resources for the operation with the recruitment of an offshore and an onshore supervisor. The QHSE department has been reinforced with the arrival of a new QHSE manager as well as an additional QHSE supervisor. At the same time, the QHSE team hired and trained national QHSE staff deployed on all onshore sites as well as on major offshore sites like the Lancelot.

Between February and May 2012, Emirates, South African Airways and KLM became customers of Newrest First Catering in Zambia.

Over these four months, production jumped from 100 to 1’700 meals per day. During the ensuing 12 months, the main challenge facing management was to upgrade the standards of the inflight operations in terms of production consistency, food safety standards and streamlining procurement. During these challenging times, a new Quality Manager was hired to monitor the expectations of our customers in this area, and a new Finance Manager and General Manager were appointed to bring their fresh perspective to the administration and operational management of the country.

The Peruvian subsidiary posted turnover of over €20 million for the period - an increase of 60% over the prior year. Newrest Peru signed 3 major remote site contracts: the Constancia (Ausenco-Hudbay) project launched in early May 2013, the Miski Mayo (Vale Group) camp, which started in September, for catering and maintenance services, and, finally, the Minsur contract. The positive performance and stability in group catering for companies and retail concessions allowed for the year to end with positive operating results.
In terms of human resources, a new team has been dispatched to the country to reorganise the entire structure. Olivier Liem has been appointed Country Manager, and Franck Durroux, Administrative and Financial Manager.
The year also saw the end of work on the inflight catering unit in Callao, for the launch of this activity in November 2013 for Air Europa. This central kitchen, which covers approximately 3’000 m2, is part of an extensive

This included the launch of the MMX Corumba operation in September 2012 in Mato Grosso, MPX Parnaiba in January 2013 in Maranhao, and also the MMX Serra Azul operation, with the construction of a mine in the Minas Gerais state. Unfortunately, this project was aborted at the end of May 2013. The Vale Alimentation (700 POB) contract ended due to profitability issues, but the cleaning contract in Corumba, Mato Grosso was renewed. Negotiations are also in progress with other EBX entities for the OSX and LLX Açu, MMX Minas Gerais, MMX Super Port Sudeste, MPX Itaqui and OSX Offshore projects. The retail concession contract with EBX in Rio de Janeiro was also terminated due to profitability issues. Finally, the joint venture with EBX came to an end in September/October 2013. Daily surveys were conducted to consolidate the quality of services within Newrest Brazil subsidiary, in particular based on electrical sign measurements that allowed it to analyse the satisfaction of the personnel served throughout the sites, with 99% of this personnel indicating they were very satisfied. The subsidiary installed two software packages to optimise its organization. The Unirest system was implemented to allow for the centralised management of monthly menu cycles. Finally, the Teknisa accounting/tax system was also put in place. Newrest Brazil’s team was completely restructured at the end of the joint venture in August 2013, dropping from 10 to 5 central office employees. Also of note is the arrival of François Tack as Administrative and Financial Manager in May 2013.

For Newrest Inalsa, the launch of the remote site and hotel activities at the Coclesito copper mines was the highlight of 2012/13. This is a major project that can be compared to the widening of the canal. This contract at term provides hospitality up to 5’000 persons on site, allowing Newrest to sustainably establish its presence on the Central American market. In December 2012, Newrest Inalsa signed a contract with our client Minera Panama SA. One month later, an entire mobilisation process was triggered to offer remote site, hotel and catering services to site personnel. Today, the mining sites are composed of two distinct zones: the mine, with six camps, and the port, with just one camp. Newrest Group’s internal quality control and hygiene process has already been implemented and the ISO 9000 certification process is in progress. Furthermore, over the short term, the goal of the joint venture is to achieve HACCP and ISO 22000 certifications.
The Group’s HR policy targets the identification of new talent among local employees to join our subsidiary as a first step, and then the Group as a second, in order to incarnate Newrest’s values.

A number of quality awards were received including the IATA/Medina Gold award for Dammam. In terms of the kingdom’s national Saudization program, the company achieved Platinum status, the highest level possible. Our new industrial laundry facility in Riyadh successfully opened on time and is operating according to plan. Our lease extension issues with the airport in Medina have been solved and we have a long term lease for the future. We have extended our contracts with Lufthansa, BA and Korean Airlines in in-flight, and have a acquired a number of new customers such as Philippine Airlines, Jet Airways, ALC Aviation, Nexus Flight Operations and Aviation Knights. We successfully opened 2 state of the art first and business class lounges at Riyadh airport.

MANAGED TURNOVER INCRE ASE OMAN
The 2012/13 year was once again excellent for Newrest Wacasco in Oman, in particular with an increase of close to 30% in its net earnings. Many new contracts in the Oil & Gas sector with existing clients (Midwesco - Crosco, Abraj Oil Services, Schlumberger) and the arrival of new operators on the local market (BaoMar, Al Shawamikh, Al Baraka, Fahud Oil Services) boosted an increase in turnover of over 10%. This growth was also supported by the acquisition of new site contracts, such as the new contract with the Egyptian company Petrojet (800 PAX), two camps with more than 1’000 POB (cumulative) with Arabian Industries, and an additional seismic crew with CGG. The development of an integrated catering solution for Schlumberger in Nizwa supported this client in its restructuring throughout the Sultanate of Oman. The management of catering and related services entrusted to Newrest Wacasco for additional fracking sites for the same client once again demonstrates the solidity of the partnership between Schlumberger and Newrest in Oman. Newrest’s dynamic in Oman is even greater now that a new organisation of human resources is in place, with the support of Iqbal Al Balushi and the expertise of Dominadore Escobido, as well as the arrival of Ragin Rajan (QHSE Manager), further to the promotion of Chrison Sebastian to the Newrest headquarters teams in Toulouse. Finally, the sales offer established by Hani Chanouha, Sales Manager, has led to the signing of a mayor 3-year contract with the Ministry of Defence for catering and hotel services for the new military technological college campus, with 5’000 students expected over the long term.

NEWREST ACTIVITY REPORT 2012/13 - 4. OPERATING PERFORMANCE 2012/13
With its 230 employees, Newrest SOS’ main activities are remote sites, support services and manpower; catering is currently under development. The remote site business in the Philippines signed one contract for the Ocean Patriot Rig with Diamond Drilling. The average POB amounts to 80 and 40’000 meals were served during this year. All HSE incidents affecting catering activities on board were recorded by the client. The client celebrated 300 days without an LTI, 150 of which whilst Newrest SOS was doing the catering on board. Newrest SOS provided quite a number of support services: shipping and aircraft agency service, documentation and licenses, logistics and supply base management, procurement and purchasing, travel and immigration, transport service, customs brokerage, environmental management and consultancy, sales and agency representation. As the services provided depend on the geopolitical decisions of the Philippine government and the resulting activities in the gas and oil industry, the year 2013 improved slightly compared to 2012. The outlook for 2014 is more optimistic. The year 2013 was a momentous year for the Overseas Employment Group (OEG) as both SOMPS’ and SOS’ overseas manpower business turned around, as compared to 2012, based on an increase in crew deployments on board various offshore rigs. This steady growth was achieved despite volatility in the overseas manpower business at the start of the year where labour supply and local content restrictions from some host countries are becoming major constraints. From a sluggish headcount of 807 at the start of the year, deployment rose by 19% at the end of the second quarter and increased to 987 by September, buoyed by steady

New clients like Diamond Offshore (Ocean Patriot), Kossco (Pacific Drilling) and Daiichi (Geothermal Project) contributed to business picking up in the second half of the year.

The joint venture, called Newrest Gulf, should allow the Newrest Group to deploy all its non-household catering services by reinforcing its presence in the Arabian Peninsula. Newrest, already present in Saudi Arabia and Oman, aims to offer services to Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. Newrest Gulf has already replied to tenders for a certain number of infrastructure projects wherein its multi-trade expertise will no doubt be considered a major asset.

Our
commitments Newrest Group makes a commitment to its clients, employees, collaborators, and the environment on a number of key points: ensuring the quality and hygiene of our products and services, respecting human rights and the working conditions of our employees and collaborators, respecting the environment, and fighting against corruption. To this end, Newrest strictly adheres to international hygiene standards. In order to highlight our active commitment, we also comply with the UN Global Compact. This compact includes 10 key principles derived from: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
Hygiene & Quality
NEWREST ACTIVITY REPORT 2012/13 - 5. OUR COMMITMENTS
Newrest has made food safety and quality a key priority in order to preserve the health of our consumers by guaranteeing healthy food products. This active effort is based on the international HACCP method from the Codex Alimentarius and on the ‘‘Hygiene Package’’, European legislation regarding food hygiene: (EC) Regulation No. 178/2002 and (EC) Regulation No. 852/2004.
A
well-established quality management system is run by teams of hygiene experts on each site. These teams, trained year-round, ensure a faithful respect of regulatory requirements and define measures to be implemented to ensure food safety. They provide practical and technical monitoring of traceability, prevent and control sanitation risks, and manage crises. In the field, quality managers work closely with kitchen staff in order to permanently maintain their level of conformity to health standards.
Most production units are ISO 9001 or ISO 22000 certified. Newrest uses its expertise to apply this certification to all units. A food safety guide, specially developed by Newrest and meeting regulatory requirements, contains all work instructions, procedures, and records carried out during the entire production process. It includes control measures for managing biological, physical and chemical hazards commonly found in catering.
• Traceability The application of strict traceability regulations allows us to follow each food product incorporated in our recipes along the entire production chain: from the supplier to the consumer, from forklift to fork. It begins with quality management teams selecting and referencing the best suppliers. Added to this is a systematic and rigorous control of raw material reception. In order to maintain high standards, the supplier follow-up includes annual visits to their establishments and regular microbiological analyses of the raw materials delivered to each of our sites.
118
‘‘
Hygiene and quality are everyone’s business. Staff assigned to these tasks must prove their thoroughness and organizational skills as well as their teaching skills and decisiveness.’’
• Non-Conformity Management
• Monitoring Self-checks are implemented at every stage of production to ensure that all employees respect control and monitoring measures. Conducting audits and microbiological analyses allows us to check the level of control that our process has achieved, in order to preserve the consumer’s health. Additionally, regular external audits are conducted. Thus, our manufacturing process is evaluated by external organizations to guarantee objectiveness and transparency with regard to production and quality management.
Any non-conformity detected during self-checks are investigated systematically. Measures are taken based on the results of investigations: they include processing the non conforming product, which may include disposal, as well as implementing corrective actions to avoid a recurring problem. Detailed crisis management procedures are laid out by Newrest and perfected by our teams. They are activated in the event of a food alert and guarantee a rapid response to protect our consumers.
• Service Quality This is defined by our ability to respect the client’s specifications, communicate the potential substitutions, anticipate difficulties, and provide effective solutions to respond to exceptional situations. In a very competitive market, the quality of service plays a major role in customer loyalty.
• The Forward low Principle
• Human Resources
Newrest establishments were designed to rigorously respect the forward flow principle: no ingredient used in a recipe can move backwards in the production process, from merchandise delivery to customer consumption. This hygiene rule is essential for avoiding crosscontamination.
Hygiene and quality are everyone’s business. Staff assigned to these tasks must prove their thoroughness and organizational skills as well as their teaching skills and decisiveness. They must have unfailing integrity and objectivity as they are often confronted with situations where client and supplier interests clash.

This programme targets an increase in the quantity and variety of agricultural products produced locally in the preparation of meals for schools. Farmers undertake to adopt the sustainable use of fertilizers and pesticides, and to analyse their production regularly in order to ensure that local products are healthy.

Constantly seeking to satisfy its clients to the greatest extent possible, Newrest Congo has been working for a number of months on a poultry project headed by Wilfried Koutiki (or simply "Willy"), a rural development engineer who studied at the University of Brazzaville and manages the Tchibamba Agro-Contact cooperative. A young subsidiary that opened in mid-2012, Newrest Congo immediately sought out local resources and undertook to purchase Willy’s production and encourage commercial relations. With this in mind, we pay for our purchases in a shorter period than we do with our other suppliers, and we have an amicable arrangement in terms of pricing.
‘‘ 360

I’ve been working with Newrest since early 2013 and am happy about our collaboration: I have a trustworthy partner that is involved and has helped me develop my project, and our commercial relationship is exemplary. My agreement with Newrest Congo has allowed me to increase my business by adding 800 chicks to my brood last October. I will be able to increase my production to three boxes per day.’’
Today, the flock is composed of 435 hens that lay approximately 360 eggs per day, all of which are purchased by Newrest, for a monthly total of 1.1 million FCFA (€1’600). Having completed poultry studies, Willy raises chicks from a very early age and personally monitors their health to prevent illnesses and other epidemics. The outcome of this project is very positive. This association is highly motivating for Newrest’s teams, as Venance Mampouya, Purchasing Manager, explained: "I’m happy to be working with Wilfried, because I can offer our clients fresh quality eggs. Our clients’ satisfaction is very important in our work."
NEWREST NIGER Areva & "The Sahelian Tropical Gardens" in Arlit As part of its Nigerien operations on the sites of its client, Areva, Newrest Niger continued its sustainable development projects this year. Areva and Newrest, in partnership with the Urban Community of Arlit, signed a memorandum of understanding with "Jardins Tropicaux Sahéliens"* for the financing of a pilot vegetable production project. This project is based on the implementation of innovative vegetable-growing techniques called Jardin Tropical Amélioré ("JTA") at the "women’s site", which covers a surface of one hectare. It follows from an initial experiment conducted by Areva last year. A Nigerien agronomist supervised activities, which, in eight months, validated these techniques with a view to developing them on a broader scale on other Arlit and Imouraren sites. Although traditional vegetable-growing techniques do not allow for production during the hot weather season (March to July), JTA allowed some 40 women in the Group to cultivate vegetables throughout the year (cabbages, carrots, lettuces, zucchinis, etc.), with low water consumption. Newrest purchases 90% of production for a total amount of €80K, the rest being sold on the market or consumed directly by the families. This joint Areva/Newrest financing in a total amount of 60’000 illustrates Newrest’s commitment to continue to involve neighbouring populations in its projects, while adopting a global development structure with its clients and with local authorities. Phase 3 of the project - deployment on a broader scale on the Arlit and Imouraren sites - is currently being studied.

‘‘

Central & Western Africa Division • Niger The second event, which takes place within the same hotel school, is more targeted and is only intended for future "Bac Pro" and "BTS" graduates in hotel services programmes. This is also a tool to help students gain experience with job interviews. These two events are first and foremost a useful communication tool for the Group in Polynesia, allowing us to present our company, and the catering and inflight services business. These events draw the media more and more. Students - future job-seekers and corporate managers - follow and anticipate these events. We very rapidly meet up with these students again in the private and public sectors - in other words, in the local economic community. These events do not directly target recruitment, as Newrest’s opportunities in terms of hiring in the country are rather limited. But they are a true tool to allow young graduates from higher education to prepare for their future jobs and career.

3. Examples of Initiatives: Employee of the Month The "employee of the month" initiative has been put in place on many production sites. Below is an example from Canada, where Newrest has two inflight catering production units.
2. Disabled Workers Europe Division • AMgroup In the Netherlands, Newrest works with AMgroup, which offers work to the disabled. Every day, two individuals who report to AMgroup clean the offices, and the daily production of dry product inventory is managed by four individuals on the Hoofdorp site.
North Africa Division • Partnership with the Sidi Thabet farm In Tunisia, Newrest sponsors this farm, specialized in the insertion of the disabled. It offers work mainly to disabled individuals from needy families who live close to the farm. In order to grow this activity beyond this partnership, Newrest is studying the potential integration of a young intern into one of our operations in Tunisia.
132
America Division • Canada The objective of this initiative is to reward the commitment and personal investment of employees. It has existed in Canada since 1 January 2013. The employee of the month is selected based on employee commitment. It rewards an employee who stands out through behaviour, work, commitment, DNA, etc. The decision is made at a monthly Executive Committee meeting at which time department heads discuss their employees. After round-table discussions, a collective decision is made by way of voting. The centre's director then meets with the employee to tell him or her about the award and hand over a small diploma. A copy of this diploma is displayed on-site for one month.

A collective agreement was signed on 1 May 2013, which provides for the creation of a number of committees such as the working conditions committees and the arbitration committee.
Southern Africa Division • Ghana Relations between employees, their unions and management are very good. The collective agreement has been negotiated and is in effect for two years.
• Uganda Newrest's employees in Uganda benefit from a cooperative system. The company withholds a percentage of the salaries of employees who want to join the system. The amount to be deducted is notified by the cooperative's executive board. The company pays this amount every month into the account of the employees' cooperative. The employees elect an executive board that manages the association's account either through loans to the cooperative's members, or land or other investments, and revenue is distributed annually.

6.1 IN OUR BUSINESS UNITS Group
136
Whether through training or workplace organization, Newrest is committed to ensuring that its employees work under the best conditions possible. Along the same lines, ISO, HACCP or OHSAS certification of our operations guarantees quality and risk-free services for our clients. All of our personnel obviously receive personal protective equipment specific to their work station. They are trained on the use of this equipment and potential risks if they fail to wear the PPE.
Newrest Group's statistics show that, since 2004, the date safety statistics were launched, only one accident occurred (in 2010). Signage has been deployed on all operation sites and translated into nine languages to date. Bilingual versions also exist. This signage, thanks to a character, is a reminder of the various hygiene and safety points to be complied with to ensure production is safe.
America Division • Mexico No accident or incident this year as a result of the work performed, whether in terms of continuous improvement of the facilities or the risk prevention training provided per work station to each employee.
Europe Division • Reunion Island In 2013, we received health accreditation with the implementation and application of HACCP rules in the catering unit and retail business.
Southern Africa • South Africa The best way for dnata Newrest to avoid accidents is to put very strict policies in place drawn from our inflight catering experience, and to focus on training for those who do not comply with health and safety rules.
22000:2005 certification of our Minera San Cristobal operations. On the basis of this training, the suppliers can in turn seek certification under Bolivian sanitary standards, such as SENASAG, which relates to organoleptic quality, production capacity, production hygiene standards and the calibration of products, for example.
This involves the following suppliers:
→ Agroinsa San Augustin → Fundacion San Cristobal → Aprakuk → Desarrollo acuático criadero de truchas Manquiri
→ Procabol
6.2 AT OUR SUPPLIERS &
SUBCONTRACTORS
The rules we impose on ourselves in terms of quality also apply to our suppliers, as the quality of the end product and the perception of our clients are in play.
America Division • Bolivia Training was provided to create a culture of continuous improvement among local suppliers in order to raise their standard of quality and certification to a satisfactory level for their products. The goal is for Newrest Bolivia to purchase a portion of their production while complying with standards that correspond to the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO

• Reduction of printing and its impact at the Group's headquarters Since the Group’s earliest days, we have been committed to a paper reduction policy. When paper copies cannot be avoided, we promote digital communication while using eco-friendly materials: since July 2012, any printing at headquarters uses 70% recycled /100% recyclable paper. The ink used in non-toxic and 100% degradable. The use of this paper to print the 2011/12 annual report allow for savings of 396 kg of CO2, which is the equivalent of 4’952 km of vehicle consumption. For next year, our forecasts are even more encouraging: we plan on reducing the quantity of printed copies by 15% through the installation of screens and awareness-raising sessions with our employees and partners. In parallel, all communication materials for our clients

1.2 RECYCLING & REUSE Limiting the product of waste is not enough. We need to think about how this waste can be recycled and/or reused. On remote sites, organic waste that can be composted is buried and is then used as fertilizer for plants and garden areas.In all the countries in which we operate, we ensure that our waste is sorted and processed through a re-treatment chain. This limits the environmental impact of our operations.
NEWREST ACTIVITY REPORT 2012/13 - 5. OUR COMMITMENTS
America Division • Waste management plan in Mexico As a service provider at Cancun airport, Newrest is required by the airport authorities to implement a waste recycling programme, as this authority audits our facilities on a regular basis. To achieve this goal, we train our personnel on waste management, which is set out in detail in a plan that includes the various ways we can reduce our waste. We thereby participate in protecting the environment in which we work.
Europe Divison • Cardboard recycling in Martinique and Guadeloupe In Pointe-à-Pitre and Fort-de-France, Newrest has started to sort its waste and promote the eco-friendly cardboard recycling sector. Thanks to this sorting, close to 20 tonnes of cardboard are recycled per year further to a partnership with a local company.
•"Eco-reflex" in Réunion The protection of the environment is a daily concern in this subsidiary, and the entire team at the Saint-Denis airport has adopted quality and ethical values. This requires training and helping our employees adopt an "eco-reflex". It also requires raising our clients' awareness, for example by providing selective sorting containers on our Caffé Lindo site or low-energy consumption equipment with lights that are mainly LED.

North Africa Division • Recycling of used oil in Tunisia Used oil is systematically collected and reprocessed by a local organization. This year, 15’000 litres were transformed into bio-fuel.
Southern Africa Division • Selective sorting at the Ambatovy site Newrest Madagascar has implemented waste management procedures and therefore sorts cardboard, food waste, used oil and plastic.
1.3 EXAMPLE OF THE SWISS APPROACH Environmental protection & nutrition Waste is sorted in all of our restaurants as follows: → dump truck collection services, with onboard weighing, for waste that can be incinerated and paperboard. This waste management method provides greater traceability of the waste and allows for invoicing by tonne and not by container, → shared collection, for waste such as washings, glass, vegetable oil, Nespresso capsules, tinplate, porcelain, aluminium cans, PET and wooden pallets. In this framework, the different types of waste collected are grouped together (less trips = less fuel) in a crane truck and taken to an accredited outlet. On its operation sties, Newrest Canonica is committed to the environment: → With our client's agreement, we apply a different price for hot drinks based on whether the cup is disposable or in china, so as to minimize the use of disposable cups. → The coffee grounds from the coffee machines are recovered to make compost. → Recyclable paper is used for printing. → We guarantee that 80% of our suppliers are local so as to limit the transportation of merchandise. → According to our clients' different specifications, we use fair trade, "Région Terre Avenir" or organic products, which we indicate on our menus for our users. → We offer our clients an opportunity to procure → → Nordic Swan and Fleur Européenne-type eco-label detergents, → → Organic and/or fair trade coffee, and Rainforest Alliance tea. → All of the listed suppliers must comply with specifications that cover eco-labelled products and ISO-type certification.
→ Subject to our clients' acceptance, we eliminate aluminium cans from our sites and replace them with PET packaging. → We favour a reduction in disposable cups through the implementation of a mug policy. → Disposable items supplied are all low in CO2 emissions or 100% recyclable.
"Fourchette Verte" label In concrete terms, the Fourchette Verte label is an action seeking to promote good health by: → Encouraging the population to adopt a healthy diet → Proposing a balanced diet, which is consumed in a healthy (100% smoke-free spaces) and pleasant (hygienic, waste-sorting) environment → Allowing the consumption of non-alcohol beverages at a preferential price → Raising awareness in terms of diet and health both for the population (more specifically those who eat outside of their homes) and catering professionals → Contributing to the reduction in the occurrence of risk factors for chronic diseases that are influenced by dietary habits For this reason: → The sites are certified Fourchette Verte within the three months that follow their inauguration. → In partnership with the label, we organize events in our restaurants to raise our clients' awareness on these issues (quizzes, prizes, etc.).

Fighting
Corruption 1. Corruption NEWREST ACTIVITY REPORT 2012/13 - 5. OUR COMMITMENTS
Group Regardless of which country is involved, Newrest Group employees must ensure commercial relations are based on transparency and honesty. This requirement also applies to our suppliers and clients; unfair competition is not acceptable. Newrest Group employees are formally prohibited from giving gifts or money to clients or officials in order to win contracts. Additionally, Newrest personnel refuse any gift offered by suppliers that are accredited or in the accreditation process in order to obtain a contact or lower prices. All forms of pressure or bribery towards sanitation inspection personnel in order to have them ignore certain failures to meet hygiene standards is unacceptable. All these rules apply regardless of the country, whether the corruption is common or not. The Newrest Group has implemented strict procedures to identify at-risk persons (purchasing managers, sales managers). Employees are monitored by country managers, zone managers, and internal auditors, who control the figures for each country every month and verify procedures during their regular visits to the different countries. A global anti-corruption policy was drafted and translated into the three main working languages.
