7 HEALTH AND SAFETY

8 Focus on health and safety All our operations shall be planned and executed in a safe manner to ensure protection of human life and health, the environment, the community, equipment and property. With a focus on safety and wellbeing of our workforce and all stakeholders, our goal is to bring tangible benefits to employees and local communities as well as our investors and owners, and leave a minimal environmental footprint.

9 Health and safety Minor decrease in safety observations due to less building activity at the yards 12% decrease in actual accidents The frequency rate of Lost Time Injuries, recorded at 2.5 A minor increase in sick leave, recorded at 3.5% Presence at a steady high level, recorded at 96.5% We recognise that our operations involved in construction of vessels carry certain health and safety risks. Therefore it has always been our top priority to encourage a culture with knowledge about safe working practices and behaviors in all our operations. During 215, we continued to encourage everyone to report potentially hazardous conditions, which resulted in a further reduction of accidents with 12%. We are working actively with several initiatives to reduce accidents and focus especially on accidents with highest injury and damage potential. We believe in a proactive approach and set targets for safety observations as a central KPI. The preventive actions we put in place has a tangible impact on number of accidents. The frequency rate of Lost Time Injuries (LTI), of which we recorded at a rate of 2.5 for 215, had a minor increase, but is still at a low level compared to the industry. An average of 96.5% of our workforce is at work every day, which we see as a proof of good working conditions. Looking at the sick leave statistic at an average of 3.5%, there has been a minor increase from 214, but this level is still low compared to the industry. We continue our efforts to handle sick leave individually and at an early stage. This includes the flexibility to adjust an employee s work intensity and scope of work, as well as adapting the work place as an alternative to sick leave. For graphics see next pages >>

13 ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

14 Compliance with International Standards VARD complies with two international standards of ethics and social responsibility. Social accountability The SA 8 standard is based on guidelines from the International Labor Organization and draws on various international human rights declarations. All VARD locations operate to this standard, and one of the yards is already certified. Occupational health and safety Compliance with the OHSAS 181 standard demonstrates VARD s commitment to safe and healthy working conditions. So far, two of VARD s Romanian shipyards and the Vietnamese shipyard have been officially certified. The combination of these standards is increasingly used to measure the overall performance of VARD in this field. During 215, VARD was subject to numerous customer audits which gave us a valuable input to potential areas of improvement. They also indicate that VARD runs a sound and ethical business with safe and healthy working conditions.

15 ENVIRONMENT

16 Environmental focus We have always kept a long-term perspective on preserving and steadily improving the integrity of our business, and the environment in which we operate. We are highly aware of the environmental effects our operations may cause, and thus we take necessary steps to limit the impact by continuously developing technologies, practices and business opportunities compatible with sustainable development.

17 Environment 91% waste recycling in Vard Group Long-term implementation of ISO 141 standard Steady improvements in HSE performance at Vard Promar We continually strive to reinforce policies and develop procedures in order to minimize our environmental impact, and we believe that the sound co-existence of our business and the environment is important. We promote an open dialogue on environmental issues with employees, regulatory authorities, our local communities and other stakeholders. Recycling of waste from shipbuilding and maintenance is a key priority. A comprehensive waste management framework is in place, and we have experienced an increase of 2% in the level of recycling to 91% by the end of 215. Our focus areas are construction of eco-friendly vessels, minimal emissions, waste management and noise abatement. To reduce emissions during commissioning and testing of new ships, some of our yards have invested in shore power plants. VARD is long-term implementing the ISO 141 standard - the world s most recognized standard for environmental management. VARD is in close dialogue with public authorities on issues such as avoidance of pollution resulting from our operations, and inspections are conducted on a regular basis. Remarks have generally been minor and have been handled locally as part of our everyday business. VARD will continue, in close cooperation with governmental initiatives, to map pollution at Norwegian industrial sites and in coastal waters. Since 28, VARD has been a member of the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises NOx-fund, which means we contribute to reducing the environmental impact of emissions from fuel. Operations at Vard Promar, Brazil: The entire facility is fully compliant with the strictest of local and international environmental codes, and is steadily improving their HSE performance.

18 Our approach As part of our proactive HSE initiatives to achieve Vision Zero, we continue to further develop our robust set of guidelines and principles for our operations: Long-term implementation of the ISO 141-standard for environmental management across all major business units. Long-term implementation of the SA8-standard for social accountability and OHSAS 181- standard for occupational health and safety. We have a robust code of conduct, Ethical Guidelines, and are continuing the process of implementing the corporate values. Continuously developing the HSE-handbook which governs our sustainability and social responsibility. Active use of our new HSE-films and training courses, focusing on protective gear and best practices to reduce long-term health impacts. Consistent HSE assessment and reporting. Active promotion and participation in open dialogues with key stakeholders and use the feedback to improve our practices. Purposeful supporting of talent and social causes, as well as providing opportunities for employee development.

20 Environmental accounts In the following pages we will present the detailed environmental accounts for each yard. Waste recycling ratio The shipyards ability to sort their waste and deliver it for recycling is presented as a recycling percentage. The ratio shows how much of the total amount of waste has been recycled. Waste management Certified waste disposal companies collect recycled waste fractions from our yards. Various types of metals - e.g. steel and aluminium - account for the main bulk of waste sent for recycling. Other recycled waste fractions include EE waste, fluorescent tubes, wood, paint residues, oil-based waste, batteries, waste oil, plastic, food waste, paper and cardboard. The waste disposal companies refuse incineration plants, generate electricity and heat from waste not recycled to new materials. Freshwater Shows the total consumption of freshwater used in the office buildings and the production facilities. The consumption is dependent on projects, since a certain amount of water is used in testing of various systems on board the vessels. Ballast water With respect of the environment, we keep track of the amount of foreign ballast water we import from foreign seas, and discharge outside our yards. For the Norwegian yards, this is basically the ballast water carried in the hulls towed from Braila and Tulcea. From 212 and onwards, the fresh water in Tulcea and Braila is provided by the public water supply. From an environmental point of view, it is better to use fresh water for this purpose. It has been documented that fresh water organisms do not survive when they are flushed out into the sea.

21 Environmental accounts In the following pages we will present the detailed environmental accounts for each yard. Electricity Includes the total electricity consumed at the yards facilities (office buildings, workshops and machinery) and for the pumps, tools, ventilation, lighting and heating used on the vessels during the outfitting period. Solvents Shows the amount of solvents used during production, e.g. in connection with the consumption of paint. The solvents in paint are released into the air when the paint dries. We are continuously looking for paint systems with less solvent emission. Diesel oil for vehicles and heating in buildings A few of our yards have production workshops which are heated by oil fired systems. This explains the variation in the consumption rates for heating in buildings. Diesel is also used to power forklifts and various vehicles and machines. Fuel oil During outfitting, the vessels use fuel oil in connection to commissioning, testing and conduction of sea trials. Ships equipped with a catalyser use urea in addition to fuel, which reduces NOx emissions. The amount of fuel oil consumed will vary from yard to yard as a direct result of number and types of vessels built annually. Emissions to air Our yards use an assortment of fossil fuels for powering vessels and vehicles, as well as for heating, etc., thus releasing a certain amount of pollution into the air. Our Synergi software calculates emissions of CO2, NOx, SOx and PM (particulate matter) related to these activities.
