2 1 About us Our aim is to serve our clients needs and to leave a positive impact on the communities where we work. Dr. Samir Mahfoud, Head of Business Development Our mission Uncommon common sense has long been a tradition at MVV decon. More than thirty years of life in the engineering and consulting business have taught us that genuine partnership needs time to flourish, and that it takes commitment, a passion for excellence and an open mind to truly help clients achieve. We have made it our business to use our considerable resources, extensive network of contacts, experience and know-how to provide custom-tailored consulting, advisory and engineering services for an international clientele. Our background MVV, our parent company, was established in 1873 as a local energy and water supplier in the industrial city of Mannheim. It was the first German municipal utility to go public in early 1999 and since then has evolved as a genuine pioneer in domestic and international markets. Its services now extend beyond the home city of Mannheim to dozens of other municipalities and utilities inside and outside Germany. The core activities of the MVV Group lie in the following fields: ffdistrict heating and cogeneration ffelectricity and distributed power ffenergy trading ffnatural gas ffwater and wastewater management ffwaste management ffenergy efficiency services and contracting ffenergy from waste ffrenewable energy ffpublic transport ffurban planning and development

3 2 Our services Our multi-disciplined teams find solutions to even the most difficult and complex tasks. Maria Alonso, Commercial Project Management We offer MVV decon provides services throughout the entire investment project cycle, including project identification and appraisal, feasibility studies, planning and design, project management, procurement, construction supervision as well as project monitoring and evaluation. We offer a full range of technical and commercial utility services ranging from management and service contracts, quality control to loss reduction programmes, corporate sales and expansion strategies. Our staff give competent advice and technical assistance for policy implementation, programme management as well as guidance on institutional development, sector and corporate restructuring, capacity building and training. Our quality management system has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008. What we do Through consultancy and engineering we offer first-class professional solutions for the various pressing issues that our public and private sector clients encounter in their operations. For example, clients may typically approach us with a request to conceptualise a new district heating system for their city, devise a feasibility study for the rehabilitation of their water distribution network, or supervise the construction of electric power facilities. They might also ask us for our input when drafting utility or environment strategies, improving metering, billing, collection or tariff systems, or simply for expert assistance in conducting training for utilities on investment planning or restructuring. One of our key success factors is the development, from the onset, of an excellent relationship with our clients and decision makers which we strive to maintain beyond the completion of our projects. We approach our clients issues on a customised basis using multi-disciplined teams of expatriate professionals who work side-by-side with local experts.

4 3 How we work We involve the client at all stages of the project to ensure success. Heinrich Meindl, Lead Economist Our focuses For MVV decon the customer comes first implies that a profound understanding of our client s needs and wants is a prerequisite for high quality work and full customer satisfaction. We work like a bespoke tailor and make every project a well-thought-through product which is customised to the complexity of real requirements. Effective and efficient project management is the key to the success of any project. Our project managers keep a bird s eye view of processes, interdependencies and sequences. They apply meticulous attention to detail, flexibility and an extraordinary sense of timing to their projects to ensure that customer requirements are continuously incorporated into the work process. This approach enables our project managers to track and assess how well the project is meeting client needs at all times and thus keep a finger on quality. lt also ensures that we continuously strive for improvement. An integral part of our work is to ensure that by building local capacity we are able to strengthen the foundations on which sustainable development will progress, and help to overcome barriers and obstacles. Who does it The achievements of MVV decon are the result of the combined efforts of its own staff and the dedicated support of the many specialised departments and subsidiaries of the MVV Group. We deploy teams of highly qualified engineers, technicians and practitioners, economists, planners, financial professionals and legal advisers to build sustainable, integrated, innovative and to-thepoint solutions. These multidisciplinary teams ensure that problems have been looked at from every possible angle and that the right skill has been applied to the right task at the right time. This avoids merely providing elaborate academic solutions and paperwork, which are far from being of much practical use. Our experts have extensive international experience, in-depth local knowledge, and a sensitive insight into local conditions and customs. We employ staff that speak the world s most widely spoken languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Arabic. Knowledge of the local situation and language can make the difference between meeting and exceeding our clients needs.

full customer satisfaction. We work like a bespoke tailor and make every project a well-thought-through product which is customised to the complexity of real requirements.

5 4 Operating worldwide We combine German engineering and consulting with European utility experience. Marc Malitzke, Project Manager Our competitive advantage What distinguishes our company more than anything else is the unique blend of international consulting and engineering expertise coupled with top western European multi-utility operating know-how. It is exactly this combination that is increasingly sought after by our clients, be it international finance institutions, bilateral or multilateral donor agencies or the private sector. As a partially privatised, yet largely municipally owned company, the MVV Group is well acquainted with the successful day-to-day business of running a public-private partnership. Having undergone privatisation and the respective restructuring itself, the MVV Group is aware of the need to apply a step-by-step and collaborative approach to divesting public services to the private sector. Using its own solid track record both as an investor and operator, MVV is able to help restructure local utilities, rehabilitate infrastructures and thus substantially improve the quality of services both in Germany and beyond. Our clients MVV decon has developed a solid reputation as a highly professional, reliable and efficient company. Our philosophy is that a job is only completed if and when our clients requirements are fully met. We serve a broad range of clients including national governments, regional and municipal administrations, utilities and private clients. Our numerous references comprise a wide range of assignments successfully completed for most of the world s major funding and donor agencies, for example, the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Commission, the European Investment Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, KfW Development Bank, the Kuwait Fund, the United Nations, the World Bank, and many others. MVV decon and its staff observe a strict code of conduct and ethical standards, which ensures that professional secrecy is maintained at all times. Our teams are always perceptive to the political, cultural and religious beliefs of the countries in which we operate.
