“Action is important, but reporting on what has been done (and is left to do) is just as important”. This maxim, applicable to many aspects of corporate performance, bears essential weight in CSR, where stakeholder transparency and communication are the key.

Profile
OHL Group’s Sustainability Report is part of its committed rendering of accounts to all stakeholders. The aim is to provide information on all commitments, management and basic progress made over the year with respect to previously defined objectives. In turn, the Report constitutes a Progress Report for the United Nations Global Compact.
Ever since the first Sustainability Report was published in 2003, OHL has undertaken to issue it as a key part of its transparent conduct.
The aim is to draw up a document that is as solid and professional as possible, with the maximum representativeness, quality and clarity, using applicable trends and standards, and based on the expectations and requests for information of the Group’s stakeholders, as well as the main reputational risks perceived. This consequently evidences the Group’s performance in all acquired commitments.
This 2014 Sustainability Report is structured into two large units:
Unit A:
cross-management of CSR
Unit B: Group divisions
A global group committed
to sustainability Five divisions, five visions of sustainability
This structure intends to show how business has contributed to sustainability, with a document that gathers essential components on which OHL should report according to the Global Reporting Initiative reporting standard (part A) and, in turn, inform about the responsible management of the Group’s various activities, basing its content on the contribution by its business to sustainability (part B).
Also, in 2014, the report follows the recommendations of the new version of GRI G4 (Global Reporting Initiative).
GRI G4 establishes a change of viewpoint and approach and suggests greater flexibility in order for each organization to focus on what is most relevant for the company and its stakeholders. One of the most relevant novelties, which the Group has put into practice with this Report, has been to place greater emphasis on the impact on OHL’s value chain.
Furthermore, the report has taken into account inclusiveness, materiality and response capacity principles, gathered in the latest version of the AA1000 rule, covering the AA1000APS Accountability Principles and the AA1000AS Assured Sustainability rule.
The report constitutes Group action directed by the Corporate CSR Service, Innovation and Sustainability Management, promoted by the General Corporate Management and the Sustainability Committee. The Sustainability Report is drawn up by the Auditing, Compliance and CSR Committee.
