DEME accounts for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions in its carbon footprint. Greenhouse Gasses Greenhouse gasses are the fundamental cause of climate change. Limiting their effect directly improves our environment. For shipping the most important greenhouse gas is CO2; directly related to fuel consumption. DEME reports its greenhouse gas emissions on a corporate level through the methodology described in the ISO standard. ISO ISO is an international standard, supplying the basis for specific climate change programmes. DEME received a positive Verification Assurance Statement for its carbon footprint conformity to ISO14064 for its base year ISO defines 3 scopes of emissions reporting. Scope 1 emissions Scope 1 contains all direct GHG emissions. Direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by DEME such as the consumption of fuel and natural gas. Scope 2 emissions Scope 2 accounts for GHG emissions from the generation of electricity purchased by DEME. The CO2 Performance ladder includes, in addition to purchased electricity, business air travel and the use of private cars for business purposes in scope 2. Scope 3 emissions Scope 3 is a reporting category that allows for the inventory of all other indirect emissions. Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company, but occur from sources not controlled by the company. Rev Uncontrolled if printed.

4 1 INTRODUCTION This document describes the DEME Energy Management Action plan as applicable for DEME operations within Belgium and the Netherlands; including head office related activities ie. the CO2 Performance Ladder boundary, and its implementation within existing DEME practices. The DEME Energy Management Action plan has at its foundation the DEME Energy Charter [DEME- MGT-CHT-007] and utilises elements of ISO ISO ISO is based on the common elements of ISO management systems (Plan Do Check Act approach), ensuring compatibility with ISO 9001 and ISO Figure 1 illustrates the model of the ISO Energy Management System. Figure 1: Energy Management System model for ISO Within DEME, the ISO standard for energy management is aligned with, and incorporated in, DEME s existing group wide programme for continuous improvement ie. DRIVE. DRIVE is an acronym for DEME s Resolve on Innovation and Value Engineering. DRIVE envisions three parts; DRIVE Cost, DRIVE Transactional and DRIVE Operational. DRIVE Cost entails purchasing/sourcing improvements, DRIVE Transactional directs its attention towards administrative efficiency whereas DRIVE Operational focusses on site efficiency, productivity, innovation and sustainability. Giving its common areas of interest and similarities in approach, the DEME energy objective and related actions for operations on Belgian and on Dutch territory, informed by ISO aspects, are Rev Uncontrolled if printed.

6 3 DEME S APPROACH The section describes common grounds of ISO and DRIVE, as illustrated in figure Identification Figure 2: DRIVE Exercise model The DEME group wide Greenhouse Gas Management system, conform ISO 14064, provides the means to identify significant energy sources, energy reduction potential, and evaluate past and present energy use that leads the way to improvements in energy performance. The project selection process within DRIVE ensures that the right projects are considered for execution upon Management approval. 3.2 Preparation The methodology for selecting Key Performance Indicators within DRIVE is directed towards stimulating the identification of improvement opportunities and proving its results. Ownership is placed with the persons responsible for the resources. Before the start of each improvement exercise, the baseline of the Key Performance Indicator is set according to the DRIVE vision and approach. 3.3 Launch Given the diversity of DEME s activities, targets are set on a case-specific basis. All improvements actions and best practices are added to the relevant detailed action plan. For each improvement exercise an improvement responsible is assigned. Verification of the results is ensured by involvement of the process owner or business unit responsible in the evaluation process. 3.4 Progress & close Monitoring and evaluation of the improvement exercises is ensured through the incorporation in the DRIVE periodic management review. Corrective actions are taken within DRIVE to ensure the overall effectiveness of the DRIVE programme by Management review of the objectives set forth. Rev Uncontrolled if printed.

7 4 DEME S ACTION PLAN For 2011, DEME s carbon footprint within the CO 2 Performance ladder boundary can be attributed for 83% to scope 1 emission. DEME s Energy Management action plan, or list of measures, is divided into three topics; actions directed towards head office activities, vessels and projects. Actions that all together contribute to the DEME objective of a 7 % increase in efficiency by 2022 compared to 2011 are monitored through their own set of Key Performance Indicators on a case-specific basis. 4.1 Head office related actions Head offices related actions entail actions directed towards an increase in awareness and technical measures. Actions directed to increase awareness involve, amongst others, behavioural measures on rational energy use such as the Tire Pressure Day 2012 and actions directed towards business travel. As an example, the Tire Pressure Day conducted in 2012 consisted of tire pressure inspections on all cars parked at the DEME head office in order to inform DEME employees and willing visitors on their optimal tire pressure to increase on-road safety and reduce fuel consumption. Technical measures include careful consideration of sustainable building concepts such as increased insulation, relighting, investigation on the installation of a geothermal heat pump designed for cooling and heating purposes, the use of more efficient office heating diesel, the installation of motion sensor light switches and the purchase of green energy. As from the first of January 2013, the DEME head office will be power by 100% Green Energy equivalent to 1913 Ton CO2. In addition, the DEME head office is equipped with 1,700 m² of photovoltaic solar panels. The quantification in CO2 reduction is to be investigated and defined further. 4.2 Vessel related actions Vessel related actions consist of increased awareness through communication on rational energy use, operational measures such as the implementation of the IMO introduced Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and related technical measures. The vessel-specific SEEMP provides a specific action plan for the implementation of energy efficiency measures on board such as weather routing & voyage planning, hull maintenance, oil analysis, bunker management, crew familiarisation and training for all existing ships. The quantification in CO2 reduction is to be investigated and defined further. Our Newbuilding department successfully increases the efficiency in transporting soil through optimal ship design principles such as an increase in hopper pay load for the same vessel propulsion power and speed in combination with a lower specific fuel consumption of newer generation engines. Furthermore, they will investigate a wide range of energy saving measures (e.g.: automatic switching of non-essential consumers, heat load controlled ventilation of technical spaces, optimisation of heat recovery systems etc.) that can be incorporated in new designs but can also be retrofitted on existing vessels and thus reduce the vessels CO 2 footprint.

8 4.3 Project related actions Project related actions entail an increase of on-site awareness, operational and technical measures within the DRIVE approach of continuous improvement on case-specific improvement exercises. The contribution to the DEME objective is determined for each project separately, referring to its baseline measurement. As an example, the fuel consumption of Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger Breughel working on the Lincshore project, May 2012, was minimised through clever operational measures, such as reduced speed, and careful follow-up resulting in a total reduction of 323 T CO 2. 5 PARTICIPATIONS (REF. CO2 PL 3D1) This section of the document describes DEME s participations in sector initiatives in relation to energyand GHG, primarily CO2, quantification and reduction. Reference is made to the CO2 Performance Ladder manual v2.1 part 3D Concluded participations The Central Dredging Association s (CEDA) position paper on climate change adaptation as it affects the dredging community. CEDA is a non-governmental organization which, amongst others, provides impartial expert advice to relevant policy-making activities at international and national levels. The paper on climate change seeks to raise awareness, to help the dredging community prepare for consequences of climate change and to understand how dredging can contribute to adaptation measures. The report was published in the end of May On-going participations and initiatives DEME is a member of the Dutch organisation for waterbuilders or Vereniging van Waterbouwers (VvW). De Vries & Van De Wiel, a DEME subsidiary, is a participant in the VvW working group on sustainability. The working group on sustainability directs its attention, amongst other topics, towards sector related topics concerning the Dutch CO2 Performance Ladder. Close communication is maintained between De Vries & Van De Wiel and DEME head office concerning CO2. Additional participations of De Vries & Van De Wiel can be found on the subsidiaries website. DEME is a member of the European Dredging Association (EuDA). EuDA provides a centralised platform for sector communication towards international institutions such as the International Marine Organisation (IMO) and the European Commission. DEME participates actively in 3 emission related committees; the Environmental Committee, the working group on CO2 emissions and the Task Group on Emission Figures. DEME takes initiatives in renewable energy through the creation of DEME Blue Energy (DBE). Flanders invests 30% in DBE through the shareholdership of the Participatiemaatschappij Vlaanderen (PMV). DBE is active in the development of wave and tidal energy projects and energy transport at sea. In addition, attention is directed towards renewable energy technology research and development. DBE closely cooperates with academic centres of knowledge such as several departments of the University of Ghent and for the Flansea offshore wave energy convertor development with specialised partners such as the Port authority of Ostend, Electrawinds and medium sized companies such as Cloostermans, Spiromatic and Contec. Furthermore, together with the Port of Ostend, PMV, Offshore Wind Assistance and Artes/Depret, a company was created Renewable Energy Base Oostende (REBO) with the objective to offer dedicated infrastructure and port areas with direct access to sea as logistic support areas to the offshore renewable energy sector.
