Message
From the Superintendent
Director
This document presents Odebrecht in Angola main results for 2015.
This is the fourth sustainability report published by the Company in
the country, the second being drawn up after its adherence to the
Global Compact, communicated to the United Nations in January
22, 2014, confirming support to its ten principles related to Human
Rights, Environmental protection and Anti-corruption, position
here confirmed.
2015 was a challenging year for Odebrecht in Angola. The
Companys operation was affected, on one hand, by the crisis
arising from the general depreciation of commodities recorded
during the year around the world, among which the oil crisis was
particularly severe and persistent to the liquidity of our clients
and, on the other hand, by the Brazilian economic crisis, which
limited the funding flow for our projects in the country. In addition
to this negative economic situation, we faced a reputational crisis
resulting from a relentless persistent prosecution process in Brazil,
from which will result, in the future, major improvements to our
compliance and governance model.
In order to surpass this challenging year, we had to be more
committed. We enhanced our dedication, as we did in previous
difficult times, to match the trust of our customers established
over our 31 years of existence in Angola. We must recognize the
contribution of our partners in this effort, without which the
challenges could not been faced.
We managed to overcome the negative situation and fulfil our
term commitments at all stages established for important projects
for the country development, among which are the expansion
of Cambambes Dam, the construction of Lacas Dam, which and sustainability, shown by the prize we have been awarded with
includes the progress of its electromechanical assembly, within
the scope of the Ministry of Energy and Water, and the Lobitos
Refinery terracing works of Sonaref. We delivered yet another
stage of the business complex that makes up the Condominium
Belas Business Park. We carried on with Luandas urban structuring
works, highlighting the BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) to the Ministry
of Construction.
In the economic plan, Odebrecht in Angola net revenues recorded,
in comparison to 2014, a result particularly influenced by the
exchange rate behaviour observed in 2015.
Following the principles of sustainability, Odebrecht in Angola
continued to operate considering the economic, social and
environmental dimensions in an integrated way.
4 5
During 2015, the procedures to prevent risks and work accidents
continued to be followed in all the organizations operations and our
focus was strengthened.
Regarding this, we had good results reducing our Total Frequency
Rate from 4.68 to 3.66 and a significant reduction of our Severity
Rate from 883 to 156. The safety of our employees will continue
to be a crucial point of our attention in 2016, which will require a
constant dedication from our employees and suppliers.
Odebrecht in Angolas investment on employees training
amounted around 2.1 million USD, on social programmes,
that aimed to conciliate interests from Clients, shareholders
and communities located in areas influenced by our projects,
the investment amounted 3.7 million USD. On environmental
protection programmes 6.5 million USD were invested.
As for the environment, we achieved important progresses
regarding waste management generated in our operations and
positive results regarding the reuse of water. In Lacas Dam
project, we reached a milestone of 60% of reused water. By reused
water, we mean in the project not into their end products. This
water reuse allowed us to reduce the discharge of 460,000 m3 of
wastewater in water courses. Those water reuse values achieved
in Laucas Dam will become a reference for our future projects. All
our projects had their emissions inventoried.
In the area of occupational health, 2015 was, besides the constant
and relentless fight against malaria, the year of attention to
emergency situations. 33 medical protocols were performed in
monthly sessions with the projects health, 10 medical emergency
drills were conducted covering the majority of the projects and,
in addition, basic and intermediate life support courses were
performed in 50% of our projects.
We continued to be publicly recognized in the areas of engineering

1.3.3 Suppliers and value chain
The value chain of Odebrecht business construction can be
characterized according to the following scheme:
5. PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS
At the end of some significant project phases and at the
end of each project a results evaluation process is carried
out, considering the contracts previously established
requirements such as Client satisfaction, legal compliance,
financial and corporate requirements. The periodic
assessment of all projects contributes to the continuous
improvement process, allowing the distribution of results
and release of funds for new projects.

4. CONSTRUCTION
The construction phase is the full realization of the
commitments made in previous phases between all
elements in our value chain. Involves material suppliers,
service providers, funders and internal Employees, who
share production and management responsibilities and
perform the legal, contractual and corporate established
requests. During the construction phase, internal corporate
guidelines lead us to: (i) preserve the environment where
we operate; (ii) comply with habits and expectations of the
ones that live, work or circulate in those sites; (iii) develop
processes and procedures to improve the quality of our
products and to fully satisfy our Clients; and (iv) recover
the areas affected by our operation.

related to the project implementation. At this stage, the
service providers and consultants are actively involved
on the project development, taking an important place in
our supply chain. The financing institutions and insurance
companies are also very important in this phase. During
this phase a set of risk assessments and Environmental
and social impact studies are prepared In order to find and
identify all the negative impacts, and propose mitigation,
correction or compensation measures to be implemented
during the contract execution.

are broken down into two categories:
Subcontractors that perform specialized engineering and
construction works; and
Outsourced services, corresponding to the subcontractors
that provide services that are outside the scope of Odebrecht in
Angola activity, but that are essential to its good development.
This category includes services such as real estate, insurance,
advertising and communications.
Due to Odebrechts worldwide operations, the Organization has
embraced clear standards and a great level of compliance with
the provisions of the laws on worldwide suppliers hiring.
Under the process of the Organizations Code of Conduct
revision, it was created the Supplier Code of Conduct, which
contains the shared values and principles that guide the
organizations relations with them, so that they can comply with
the corporate governance good practices.
The referred Code condemns any related practices to forced
labour or child labour, sexual exploitation of children and
adolescents, or other any form of exploitation or human traffic.
Through commitment to comply with the Code of Conduct, the
suppliers commit to respect human rights.
Although there are no environmental criteria established in hiring
suppliers, in all company contracts suppliers commit to comply
with the established principles in this Code, which advocates
environmental standards aligned with the good practices and
refuses any practices that violate the environment.
During hiring, suppliers go through a due diligence process, by
which their practices are assessed and possible risk factors
identified, including aspects related to the safeguarding of
human and labour rights, and its assumed the commitment to
the Organizations Code of Conduct Starting in 2015, besides
the due diligence process, it is required a corruption risk analysis
for new contracts with suppliers and business partners.

2.2 Odebrechts Conduct
Odebrechts activity and operation is based on the Odebrecht
Entrepreneurial Technology (Tecnologia Empresarial Odebrecht
- TEO), a work philosophy created by Norberto Odebrecht,
founder of the Organization, that establishes the ethical, moral and
conceptual principles that underlie the business.
TEO is focused on education for and through work valuing the
willingness to serve, the ability and desire to evolve, as well as the
will to exceed results. Provides a process of planned delegation
based on trust and partnership between leaders and team
members and decentralized management.
Another of its principles is the reinvestment of the gained
results for the creation of new job opportunities and developing
communities.
Odebrechts sustainability policy is bolstered by TEO, and therefore
is transversal to the overall conduct of the Organization teams.
TEOs values are transversal to the conduct of all those who are During 2015, several lawsuits related to customs fraud were in

Odebrechts Code of Conduct addresses the themes of
ethics and professional conduct when it comes to relations
with the other elements involved in the activity, namely,
anti-corruption issues, conduct for decent employment and
non-labour exploitation, legal compliance and occupational

2.5 ODEBRECHT AWARD FOR SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
On April 22nd 2015, Odebrecht in Angola accomplished its 5th
edition of the Odebrecht Award for Sustainable Development,
which the goal is to stimulate university students to participate
in the search for technical solutions that are responsible and
innovative in relation to sustainable development topics.
This contest is inserted in a wider programme developed by
Odebrechts relation with public and private higher education
institutions in the countries in which the corporation acts.
Odebrecht in Angola believes that it is necessary to encourage
networking and teamwork by stimulating young engineers to
assume their role as engineers of the future capable to make
a difference in the development of the country. This award and
the commitment in this relation with the academic environment
are important steps in that direction.
In its 5th edition in Angola, 106 applications were made by 45
competitors from 16 universities, of which 12 are based in
Luanda, 1 in Benguela, 1 from Huambo and 2 from Huila. These
numbers demonstrate the growing interest in the Odebrecht
Award among students, advisors and universities.
During the event, the three best projects were awarded, each
with an amount of USD 22,500 being distributed USD 7,500 to
each student or group of students, to each mentoring teacher
and each university the winners are linked to. Additionally, an
internship in Odebrecht in Angola was offered to the winning
students with the opportunity of an ongoing developing career
in the company.
The submitted projects have gone through a process of
internal and external evaluation which was based on the
engineering contribution in terms of sustainable development
and it was considered the content, clarity, reasoning, depth,
technical contribution, applicability and graphical presentation.
The internal evaluation commission was undertaken by 35
employees from Odebrechts areas of Sustainability, Equipment,
Production, Engineering and some Contract Directors.

minimize negative environmental impacts that may be caused
by the projects carried out by its activities, enhancing positive
impacts and promoting environmental responsibility.

3.1.1 Risk analysis and environmental
impact studies
The completion of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) in
a project is defined, considering the relevant legislation, by the
degree of socio-environmental risk assigned to it in a previous
study phase analysis. The EIA is the starting point to carry out
the existent procedures for the sustainable management of
projects.
3.1.2 Environmental performance monitoring
In 2015, Odebrechts socio-environmental performance has
been measured differently from what has been reported in
recent years. Previously, performance results were reported
in the ISAM (Socio Environmental Indicator), which in 2015 was
replaced by the IDS (Social Performance Indicator) and by the IDA
(Environmental Performance Indicator).
These two indicators allow the organization to have a global vision
of its sustainability performance in several projects in different
geographies.
Similar to ISAM, IDA and IDS are indicators composed of a set of
environmental and social indexes respectively and compiled on a
quarterly basis through a virtual platform specific to this purpose.
In this platform, the information is consolidated by the project and
geography, resulting in two indexes of environmental and social
performance which consider the level of risk and its performance.
The IDS and IDA report had some improvements over the ISAM
report, now being more detailed, allowing a greater accuracy
in the information provided. The IDA registers environmental
information such as resources consumption, waste production
or deforestation. The IDS registers data related to social projects
implemented together with the construction projects, such as
investments in social actions among other things.
With the subscription of the Open Letter to Brazil about Climate
Change, Odebrecht assumed in 2009 the commitment for
mitigation and adaptation to Climate Change, ensuring the
greenhouse gas (GHGs) control released by its operations in all
geographies and the adoption of mitigation actions in relation to
this issue.

before in the companys activities in Angola.
The reuse of existing water in Odebrecht in Angola, refers to
proper treatment of wastewater, allowing its reuse in processes
similar to their previous use (as water recirculation from
concrete mixers) or others (as the process of wetting roads).
The overall results of reuse water by Odebrecht in Angola
related to its activity in 2015 are as follows:
85%
Surface water (fresh water) Water reused percentage
Sea water (desalination plant)
Wastewater reuse 40%
The water consumption rate measures the water consumption
verified in the Organization compared to the number of workers
(employees and subcontractors) in a period of time. Taking the
number of workers as a measure of the Organization operations
dimension, we can obtain a more comparable view of the annual
consumptions, in that it weights the greater or lesser intensity of

in 2015 the water reutilization of 75,000 m3/month, which is
equivalent to the water supply for a city with 15,000 residents.
The main changes to the system were the adequacy of the
various structures producing effluent with tailored solutions,
in order to modify the effluent into water that can be used for
different uses, such as wetting accesses, irrigation of areas in
The main types of wastewater produced at the construction
site are:
Domestic wastewater: from accommodation facilities and
cafeterias;
Industrial wastewater: resulting from sand washing process,
concrete production and washing concrete mixers, truck and
equipment washing and tunnel excavation.
In relation to the total wastewater generated at the construction
site, it was possible to achieve a water reuse rate of about 60%
in 2015.
The target for 2016 is to reach a water reuse rate of 80% of all
treated wastewater.
Wastewater reuse main advantages:
Economic use of water natural resource;
Economically viable process and easily replicable, by reducing
wastewater treatment and construction site water supply costs;
Pollution prevention by not discharging effluents;
Reputation gain by the satisfaction of stakeholders involved
in the project with the results obtained from wastewater reuse
practices.
This change in Laucas Dam water management model, saves
about 31,500 USD/year in water costs. The money saved was
reallocated to support the research of new technologies which
ensure the projects production process efficiency and also in
the training of local workforce without experience in this area
in order to make them capable to influence the reuse practice
in new projects.
In addition to the actions taken to increase the generated
wastewater reuse, actions to rationalize the use of water were
also implemented, resulting in a decrease of the total volume of
water collected.

G4-LA4 macroeconomic context, expatriate members conditions had some
G4-LA11 changes. Despite these, Odebrecht in Angola guaranteed working
G4-LA13
G4-EC5 quality and living conditions for expatriated employees.
G4-HR4
All members are entitled to a life insurance that fully covers the
issues of death and partial or total invalidity. For health insurance,
expatriate members have compulsory insurance, where the laws
in their countries of origin so require. Angolans have a optional
membership health insurance in which Odebrecht in Angola
covers 80% of the value and the employee ensures the rest.
Odebrecht projects are often located in remote areas and away
from towns or villages well provided with urban infrastructures.
As so, Odebrecht is committed to provide all the conditions at
construction sites to ensure quality of life for its employees.
Construction sites have accomodations with required hygiene
and health conditions. In all the construction sites employees
have health care services, leisure areas, rest areas, recreation
areas and in most of them sports camps. All the construction
sites are fitted with a cafeteria where three meals a day are
provided, breakfast, lunch and dinner, to all the team members.
Employees are charged a symbolic value for the total monthly
meals of about 4.54 USD. Odebrecht in Angolas head office also
have a cafeteria with the same conditions.
Odebrecht in Angola offers transport between housing and the
workplace to its members.
Odebrecht also ensures that all members have at work
personal protection equipment (PPE) and uniform for daily use,
to prevent and protect the worker from dangerous situations.
These are free to all members and its use is mandatory.
The nature of the E & C activity requires frequent demobilization
processes in Odebrechts annual activity. In Angola, LGT regulates
such processes, being respected the time limit for workers
notice set in such law which stands for 60 days for the technical
staff and 30 days for operating level personnel. Demobilization
clause are fixed in collective bargaining agreements.
According to its remuneration policy, Odebrecht in Angola sets
that practiced salaries in different countries where it operates,
should be higher than the minimum salary paid in the respective
country. The basic salary of each employee is assigned
according to the functional category and according to its career
development plan, without any differentiation by gender.
The minimum wage practiced by Odebrecht in Angola has
increased in relation to the same amount practiced in the previous
year corresponding to a positive variation of 84% in relation to
the national minimum wage. The compliance of the collective
agreement that rules the operational labour remuneration
adjustment by the annual change in CPI (Consumer Price Index)
52
was the reason for this increase. However its important to point
out that this correction does not prevent or limit for subsequent
wage adjustments related to the merit evaluations.
Odebrecht employees career development is supported by
their performance evaluation. According to TEO principles, all
employees have an annual commitment to their immediate
superior, called Action Programme, which defines objectives
and personal goals. All employees are evaluated annually, in two
phases, with no differentiation by gender. In 2015, all 763 female
and 10,072 male received feedback.
At Odebrecht evaluation is shared between the employee and
its leader, and through a specific conversation, both face the
actual results in comparison with the expected results.
The evaluation measures simultaneously the employee
performance regarding the execution of what was planned, and
the leader performance in monitoring the process.
4.1.2 Freedom of Association
Odebrecht supports free workers association as part of its
policy and conduct.
The majority of operational employees are unionized, and the
countrys unions are organized by province.
In 2015, all of Odebrecht in Angolas employees were covered by
collective bargaining agreements, which are laid down with the
unions on a provincial base and for individual questions, and not
for all the points of the LGT. In certain contracts the collective
agreement in the region of Luanda can be adopted, due to
particularities inherent to that specific contract.
Regarding the suppliers freedom of association issues compliance,
these are considered in Odebrecht Suppliers Code of Conduct,
which the suppliers are bound contractually to comply.
4.2 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
Occupational Health and Safety issues are fundamental for E&C
Odebrecht business, since the construction activity presents
high risks in this area. Odebrecht operates under guidelines of
Occupational Health and Safety, in line with its Sustainability
Policy. These set out the risk prevention and control practices and
procedures applicable to the contracts since the moment of the
previous study and planning, until the final phase of demobilization,
for the protection of people, surroundings and assets.
The concern with these issues is also reflected in the employees
productivity and by consequence in the organization, since
workers on a working environment with adequate hygienic, health
and safety conditions, have high levels of productivity.
These guidelines of Occupational Health and Safety constitute
the guidelines for good practices and procedures implementation
in each contract Occupational Health and Safety Programme:
Occupational
Safety Principles
Ensure that the Occupational Safety theme is a differentiating
element of the process, activities and brand quality, in the
projects. The responsibility of protecting people and applying
the occupational safety good practices is of each Contract
Director and his team;
Plan, implement and maintain on each contract an Occupational
Safety Programme, adapted to the dimension, complexity and
magnitude of the liabilities and risks of each project;
Fully meet the clients needs and expectations, with knowledge
of Occupational Safety contractual requirements and other
applicable requirements;
Ensure legal compliance, considering the applicable legislation
in the different operations;
Foster the development of a safety culture in the different
operation locations. The legal obligations are the minimum
basis of action. The project features may require conditions
that exceed legal requirements;
Establish and monitor goals and targets for occupational
safety in each project;
Ensure that Occupational Safety Programmes are based on
the sequence of planning with focus on prevention;
Adopt critical analysis of results, providing management
continuous improvement.

Safety at Work Management
The less positive results of Odebrecht SW in Angola and particular in
Laucas Dam project in 2014, revealed the need for an approach to change
to SW management. In 2015 enormous changes were introduced in the
Safety at Work field. Deep structural measures have been taken which
had as a fundamental principle Intolerance for Accidents and have been
operationalized in three major initiatives:
1. To work with people inducing a behavioural change;
2. Specific actions for deviations treatment, through strict compliance
with legal and systemic requirements;
3. Risk management through the operational control over facilities and
equipment.
These initiatives sustained a set of 13 programmes or action measures
which were the focus of safety activities in 2015 in this project.
The first initiative was intended to promote among employees an
awareness and perception about the risks from the activity, and to induce
individual behaviour changes to each member.
Because each and every one is a key element in safety promoting, one
of the major focus of the actions taken was related to communicating
better and more about safety issues. In this sense, it was created an
associated symbology for each one of the 13 programmes or initiatives to
ensure an effective communication and awareness about the compliance
to these programmes.
Several awareness campaigns and other attractive disclosure means
about safety information were also implemented, such as:
Security Rotation - 4 joint events between the project top leadership
and all the employees, dedicated for safety motivation;
Reflection Week - Intolerance for Accident: to promote reflection
about serious accidents at work - 5 days, 5 subjects (heights working,
loads movement, trampling, electricity, safety posture). With a total
participation of 4,078 members;

The third initiative focused on operational control through the
implementation of a traffic safety control programme associated with
pedestrian areas and vehicle / equipment segregation, as well as a
Labour Safety Team design and qualification and creation of machinery
and equipment committee.
In fact, many of the risks were associated with poor delimitation and
segregation of roads for vehicles and pedestrians safety, and because of
that safety traffic control was one of the most important areas.
In addition to increasing skills and the ability of the safety team, whose
leader in the project has an exclusive competence, there was a strong
commitment on getting closer the safety team and engineering
competences, promoting greater analysis and joint resolution of
problems, all of this provided by several of the 13 mentioned programmes
and aspects such as safety team location in different project frontlines.

G4-LA10 4.3 Education and Training
Education and Training is one of the development axes of
Odebrecht employees. In Angola, this is a key-element of the
development business line, as regards the integration strategy
of Angolan employees in the Organization.
Odebrecht in Angola makes available to its employees in all
professional categories several training courses that allow
them to build their career and improve their professional
performance daily. Beyond the benefit obtained by the
employee and Organization, the Community also benefits from
their participation in these training actions, in the way that
there is a transfer of knowledge to the community. Members
are part of the community acquiring knowledge that may
apply in activities promoting the local economy development.
The proximity of Odebrecht in Angola to the academic
community is one of the important pillars of the Company
in relation to training. These partnerships are aligned with
the integration strategy of angolan members in leadership
positions and coordination teams, and brings mutual benefit
to the organization and local society, by sharing knowledge
as well as the approach to University students with the labour
market, giving them the opportunity to make a career within
the company.
Odebrecht in Angola believes in the importance of contributing
to Future Engineers capable of making the difference in
Angolas development and the relationship with the academic
world is an important step in that sense.
Several partnerships with local universities have been set. In
2015 these were the programmes implemented:
Alternative Internship Programme destined to 4th year Civil
Engineering students who intend to make a career at Odebrecht.
The programme allows the student to intern at the organization,
being present or away from the worksite, through an online
training platform with the knowledge and ideas being shared
between professionals and the trainee. After the programmes
conclusion, participants begin the Young Partner Programme.
Young Partner involves a process of identification, selection
and monitoring of young people within the organization,
providing them with functions with some responsibility,
giving them some autonomy and mobility. In the year of 2015,
100% of the participants in this programme were Angolans.
Scholarship UNILINS in partnership with UNILINS Lins
University Centre, So Paulo, Brazil, Odebrecht in Angola granted
scholarships to 20 Angolan students for several institutions of
high school in Brazil, with the cost fully taken by the organizatoion.
The grants provide graduate courses in Civil Engineering,
60
Electrical Engineering, Computing Engineering, Environmental
Engineering and Business Administration, within 5 years.
In 2015 initiatives involving the academic community were carried
out, such as the Open Doors Programme. Its main goal is the
interaction with the countrys universities in the students training
process, offering them the opportunity to know the organization
activities, including the investments and developed social actions.
The programme consists in visits of students to Odebrechts
facilities in Luanda, where they have the opportunity to assist to
a presentation about the organization, about its main active and
concluded projects, and training of people over the 30 years of
presence in the country. Students also have the opportunity to visit
Odebrecht Knowledge Centre, which gave a better understanding
of the Organizations actions in the country and the world.
Photographic exhibitions about Laucas Dam works, Sonaref
and Luandas Expressways Project, allowed participants to get a
general overview of these projects, its evolution and related social
initiatives.
Since the beginning, the programme has received more than 5
universities, with more than 100 students.
Odebrecht in Angola also offers other training programmes
targeted at employees, which allows them to improve their
qualifications as professionals, promoting the continuous
improvement of their performance, productivity and perspectives
of their quality of life, namely:
Odebrecht in Angolas New Talents
In the Odebrecht organization, young talents hiring process is a
long-term vision to develop these professionals together with
the Organization. So, hiring priority and career development lies
in the new generations training, lying here the key to an organic,
healthy and sustained growth. The career development of new
talent can be measured at Odebrecht through the annual number
of Launches. These correspond to the company investment accident, where the trainees have the opportunity to experience
in the career of young professionals, giving them new functions
annually with greater responsibility compared to previous year. In
recent years the evolution was:

5. Productive Teams - awareness course for Odebrecht members,
aiming the improvement of labour productivity as a team.
There is also another type of training, daily training that
corresponds to the philosophy of education by presence. This is
the Daily Work Training, which consists of a 5-minute talk between
members of the team to address health and safety issues that are
most important to the tasks to be performed that day.
In 2014, three Angolan employees in Odebrechts management
positions in Angola, started at distance post-graduation
programme on Safety at Work (DWT) at the University of So
Paulo in Brazil, because the course is not yet taught at universities
in Angola. This way, Odebrecht promotes the capacity of its
employees, contributing to the training of technical staff and
national management. The course lasts 2 and a half years, being
completed in July 2016.
It also offers a set of technical courses which aim to develop
specific skills. Many of these courses are taught in training centers
where there are simulators for situations with high potential of

1. Equipment Technician Course learning to work the machines
for construction handling and performance;

In 2015 there was no specific training action performed for
Security personnel at Odebrecht in Angola (activity carried out
by specialized providers) covering the policies or procedures
of the Organization about human rights. This happened due to
financial constraints observed last year that led to a revaluation
of the needs and restrict initiatives for the most pressing and
strategic priorities, together with the perception that the public
performance to which this activity is intended does not represent
a high risk for Odebrechts operations in Angola. Odebrecht
in Angola is planning to carry out this training programme in
August 2016.

The theme of local communities has great importance to
Odebrecht, since the Organization believes that business
growth is only possible if there is a joint development with the
surrounding communities in the places where the projects
are located. Therefore, it is policy of the Organization to
develop social programmes in all projects that aim to improve
the populations quality of life and well-being that live in the
surrounding areas influenced by those projects.
5.1 Social Responsibility Programmes
The maintenance of a good life quality level and safety of people
living or working in the surroundings of each Odebrecht project,
as well as for its employees, are essential elements directly
linked to the E&C business nature.
Odebrecht in Angola has developed its E&C activity on large
infrastructures, which are generally projects which, by its
dimension, generate positive and negative impacts on the social
environment, both during construction and after the work
delivery.
The Sustainability Policy of Odebrecht for the E&C business
predicts the development of a socio-economic study together
with an environmental impact study for all new projects in the
development phase. This study includes the diagnosis of the
expectations and needs of the local communities, and the
assessment of possible impacts generated by the project.
The characterization of the existing communities in the fields
of health, socio-economic conditions, quality of life, housing
conditions, cultural issues, identification and characterizations of
traditional and ethnic groups is compulsory in the performance of
this study, even in cases where the assessment of environmental
impacts is not legally required, although its level of depth is
adapted according to the projects risk level.The social action plan
of the project is designed from the socio-economic study which,
in one hand, depends on the dimension and on the impacts of
the construction works, and on the other hand, on the needs and
opportunities detected.
The main focus of the social initiatives developed in each of
Odebrechts project are People, Communities and Organizations
present in the surroundings of the construction works locations. It
is expected that after having their needs met and being prepared
and motivated by the employment opportunities and income
generation, they can enjoy the consequent improvement in
quality of life and intensify their dedication to the conservation and
sustainable use of natural resources and respective territories.
64
These initiatives can be carried out in partnership and using
third-party resources, for contractual or legal requirements
compliance, or voluntary nature. The latter can be constituted
by structured or isolated programmes including campaigns,
actions with the community and sponsorships.
The construction of the social programmes for the community
development considers the guideline about social programmes,
as part of Odebrechts sustainability policy. This guideline
provides guidance on the construction and implementation of the
social projects. The design of social programmes is based on the
following considering the legal and permits specific requirements:

Throughout its permanence in Angola, Odebrecht has developed term Social Programmes (structured programmes) which aim to
many initiatives and social programmes which had a positive promote development and improvement of local communities

social groups, in order to improve their living Family Farming
conditions by generating jobs
and income Family farming programmes aim to create income-generating
opportunities for the community from agricultural activity. The
implementation of these programmes involves communities
awareness about good practices and cultivation techniques,
and promotion and encouragement of association and inter
community cooperation. These type of programmes allow the
improvement of the community living conditions by generating
income and diversification and improvement of their food
habits, by inserting new vegetables in the community diet.
Initiative and Citizenship
The Initiative and Citizenship component is related to community
development incentive programmes by supporting associations,
income generation opportunities or populations civil registration
support programmes. Environmental responsibility, traditional
culture promotion and creation of association support fall within
this category.
The development of these programmes is of the responsibility of
each project and it should be foreseen, in an integrated way, with
the construction project, according to the sustainable policy.

The main developed initiatives in the area are literacy activities for
children and adults, and the programme ACREDITAR (To believe,
in English), a transversal programme of the Organization which its
main objective is to empower communities, as described later in
this chapter.
Punctual Actions
The component of Health in the Community of the Social
programmes performed by Odebrecht seeks to promote the
improvement of the communitys public health conditions, as
well as the implementation of actions directed to the peoples
health. The public health conditions improvement goes
through providing access to clean water by building wells and
healthcare infrastructures construction for medical assistance.
As examples of actions related to peoples health are the
Malaria Combat Programme, the Safe Childbirth Programme
and the HIV/ AIDS prevention programme. These programmes
are corporative and are managed by the SD support team.

As mentioned before there is another type of initiatives that do

not fit into any of the groups above which are named Punctual
Actions, characterized by not being integrated in any specific
social programme and can be eventual sponsorships or provide
a response to an identified need in a certain community in any of
the other described areas.

5.1.1 Side by side with the community
In 2015, Odebrecht in Angola had 12 active projects and all of
them streamlined Social Responsibility (SR) Programmes.
Eight of those active projects boosted a structured social
responsibility programme specific of the project (such as the
Laca Dam project, with the programme Bem Estar Bem Viver
(which means Well being Good living) or SONAREF with the
programme Tuluya Lumunga), while the programmes of the
remaining projects were composed of initiatives related to one
or more of the four corporate social responsibility programmes
(as in the case of Safe Birth programme or Programme to
Combat Malaria) and by punctual actions. It should be noted
that a specific social responsibility programme of a project
can also include initiatives inherent to the four corporate social
responsibility programmes, which are of a horizontal nature.

Development of the Community Hanha do Norte in Lobito,
through a positive change in the quality of life, enlargement
of the opportunities for productive inclusion and strengthening
governance and local citizenship from a self-sustaining
perspective.
During the two years of existence, the Programme has sought
to intervene and take actions based on Odebrechts sustainable
policy, and in line with regional, traditional vocations and with
the millennium development goals, seeking to strength ties with
the community and making the members of the community
responsible for their own transformation.
The Community Association was formed and legally established
with the purpose of managing the proposed actions. Named
Tuyula Lomunga (in Umbumdo), that means Together we will
win, the association coordinates the employment generation
and Income and social development actions. The income
generation actions are consolidated in an Ecologic Soap Factory
and in two Processing Units of Corn Meal and Family Agriculture.
The actions of social development are focused in the following
programmes: health, adult literacy and citizenship (involving
associations, rescue culture and environmental education).
The small subsistence farmers are the main beneficiaries of the
programme. However, the agriculture does not have the same
impact as the other dimensions developed since they all have the
same weight and relevance measure. The association employs
directly 25 people and covers 1,200 benefited families by its
actions and developed programmes. Monthly, it has a revenue
of 13,000 USD and, in the last 15 months, produced 92,000
soap bars, processed 260 tons of corn meal and sold 100 tons
of agricultural products. Within the social scope, it gathers 458
alphabetization students, 15 teachers, an advanced civil registry
outpost, a clinical laboratory, a communitarian cinema and
coordinates actions of rescue and valorization of the culture and
local handcraft. The Association has been working on community
empowerment, supporting the central government actions.

activities in implementation, results and highlights identified
throughout the year 2015.
The social project is developed in several areas:

The main objective of this programme is to increase the income
Investment of farmers families from the projects surrounding communities,
USD by promoting the access to market segments, increase, diversify
and improve production.
In 2015, FAP has brought a significant income increase for the
families who have benefited from agricultural product sales of the
programme. This was due to the acquisition of new customers
and new actions that constituted a significant step forward in
the programme. This year, the work was developed around the
introduction of four new vegetable species and with training
actions and monitoring of crops for farmers. The promotion of
the community fairs was essential for the income increase, since
this is the place where it is allowed to buy and sell products. The
programme was conducted in 2015 with the participation of 92
producers from 3 communities.
Environmental Economy Project
Production and Commercialization of florestal changes
This project aims to produce forest seedlings to generate
income for the surrounding communities of the project.
These seedlings are produced by small producers and then
used in the Degraded Areas Recovery Programme. In 2015,
the following native species were produced: moringa, baobab,
hose, splicer, motumeira and several varieties of acacias. 11
producers received technical support from the Odebrecht team
and environmental awareness actions were carried out with
students from surrounding schools.
Ecologic soap production
This is also a project to generate income through the production
of soap bars from reused vegetable oil used in the cafeterias
of Cambambes Dam. Although the programme is not yet total
autonomous, producers started in 2015 managing the project,
and took some decisions without the Social Programme team
support. There were also carried out some training actions
for the promotion of safety procedures at work in soap
production activity. The project has 13 producers belonging to 3
Community health
The Bw Health programme is designed to improve the
communities sanitary conditions, contribute to environmental
preservation and strength the social structure. In 2015, new
socioenvironmental development agents were formed, which will
ensure the maintenance of community health conditions in its
various aspects, both in environmental health and sanitation, as
in individual health. In schools were carried out actions to promote
the importance of hand-washing, several environmental health
campaigns about the importance of living in a clean environment,
and performed cleaning actions and selective separation of waste
in communities.
Education and Training
Handmade sewing workshop
In 2015, it began the 5th class of this programme. It is expected
that with training in sewing, families acquire another tool for
more income generation through the manufacture of handmade
products in tissue. The Baob Lines and Washcloths project had
42 students this year.
Education and culture
The English training and basic computer skills programmes,
encouragement of reading and promotion of culture, benefited
last year 313 young people, adults and 86 children.
Support for citizenship
In partnership with the Administration of the Commune of
Munenga and the Libolos Municipal Palace of Justice, Odebrecht
in Angola regularly promotes support for the regularization of
civil documentation for the surrounding communities. In 2015,
111 residents were regularized and 51 identity cards, 53 personal
notes and 31 birth registers were issued.

Social Programme of BRT Project
Luandas road network
The Social Programme of BRT Project (Bus Rapid Transport)
has slightly different features than the previous ones, since it is
located in an urban area (Luanda), which determines different
population characteristics and needs distinct from those
experienced by most of the communities of other ongoing
projects in 2015. In Luanda, there are more job opportunities, as
so it becomes imperative to increase skills related to a healthy
living relationship with the environment and available resources.
Thus, in 2015, some activities and initiatives directed to the local
community and for the employees of the project were held,
mainly focused on educational and awareness actions in areas
like health, citizenship and environmental responsibility.
Within the BRT+ Education and Citizenship Programmes scope,
actions were held for the involvement of the community with
the project together with community schools. The developed
actions were focused on raising awareness of students
about the positive and negative impacts that the project
implementation will have on their daily lives. These actions
were attended by 2,600 students from community schools,
who attended to lectures about road safety issues and the
importance of maintaining the roads, in which playing materials
about these topics were distributed.
The Visitation Programme to the BRT was initiated and
consisted of promoting two visits to the BRT worksite, with the
goal to introduce the project to the community and explain the
positive impacts it will have on their lives. The action consisted
of an opening lecture to present the project and answering
questions, followed by a visit to the construction site. The
participants of this action were students from a school of the
community and members of the home owners association in
the surroundings of the BRT.

Cleaning and maintenance of road networks
For projects related to road constructions, Odebrecht provides
maintenance services to ensure the appropriate conditions of the
road and their surroundings, acting in the cleaning of roads and verges,
maintaining the lightening conditions, benches and small green areas,
among other aspects. In Angola there isnt a culture of maintenance,
so this approach coupled with a longer presence of the Company in
Angola ends up influencing the vision of competent authorities in this
field, and Odebrecht believes that should complement the action of
this approach with awareness to populations.

5.1.2 And afterwards?
One of Odebrechts social programmes purposes is to enable
populations to improve their quality of life and their levels of
income, through the promotion of sustainable projects with
educational actions that increase the generation of income
during their stay in the regions. It is intended that these social
projects may persist beyond the time span that Odebrecht
stays in the regions, being developed for this a cooperative work
with the communities in order to make possible the subsistency
of the projects after Odebrechts departure.
On the other hand, in another facet, Odebrecht promotes the
ACREDITAR programme, a professional training programme
focused on the populations of the areas influenced by their
projects, which aim to educate the community to pursue a job,
existing always the possibility to be then hired by Odebrecht
for one of their projects. The first edition of the ACREDITAR
programme in Angola was in 2009. In 2015, the programme
integrated various professionals in Laucas Dam work.
In 2015, it was possible to collect data relating to a project which
was boosted by Odebrecht in Angola within the project Zango
Economic Houses that ended in 2014, but continued to be
developed by the community, being a case of success.

Handmade Soap Factory
and other initiatives - Zango
Within the framework of the Zangos Economic Houses project,
conducted between 2011 and 2014, Odebrecht performed a set
of training programmes in entrepreneurship together with
formal and informal leaders of Zangos community, in the
second half of 2011. According to Odebrechts Sustainability
Policy, these actions were carried out with focus on supporting
sustainability initiatives capable to promote income generation,
citizenship and improve the quality of life.
In the context of one of these trainings, a group of people from
the community was interested in the production of handmade
soap, by recycling saturated cooking oil. The dispersal of this
oil in the nature can generate a considerable environmental
impact, since it only takes one litter of oil to derail 1 million litters
of potable water, waterproof the soil and damage structures
and domestic and public plumbing.
The pilot project began in that year, in the backyard of one of
the members of the Community Venceremos (Venceremos
means we will win in Portuguese) and, since then, has produced
a small quantity but with great commercial acceptance, with
studies showing that there is a large repressed demand in
the area revealing, on the other hand, a great potential for the
products to be commercialized in the formal market.
Considering the growing demand for the product, it was
necessary to create production conditions that allowed
to increase the production and, at the same time, create
sustainable work and health conditions appropriated to
the business expansion. Thus, together with the Provincial
Government of Luanda (PGL), it was assigned an area in Zango
IV for the implementation of a factory with an immediate
production capacity of 50,000 soap bars of 200gr and able to
double it if necessary. The new facilities of Zangos Artisanal
Soap Factory were inaugurated in 2014, with the presence of
the municipal administrator and representatives of the Ministry
of Environment.
Odebrecht boosted the project since its beginning, with
conditions so that it continues in business and expansion by
its own means. After the completion of Zangos Economic
Houses project, Odebrecht still developed management, health
and safety, finance and marketing workshops, empowering
local entrepreneurs, enabling them to develop business
independently. A group of employees of the company have
voluntarily supported the institution, both in its formalization as
in the constitution of the entity, internal regulation establishment,
business plan, accounting support and others.

The Zangos Handmade Soap Factory is in full operation and
its managed by the community and has already expanded its
production to provinces of Malanje and Bengo.
Currently, producer groups are composed by 21 members and
the saturated oil comes, not only from the Resettlement Project
of Populations, but also from the Expressways Project, Vitoria
Garden Hotel and from some Belas Shopping restaurants.

5.2 COMMUNITY HEALTH
Odebrechts years of activity in Angola allowed the company to
acquire a deeper understanding of the reality of the countrys
needs in the health area. Odebrecht in Angola has positioned
itself from the beginning of its stay in the country as a partner
of the initiatives promoted by the Angolan government in this
area, seeking to actively contribute to the development of health
promotion actions aligned with the public policies and according
to the specific needs of the country.
Therefore, Odebrecht in Angola has been developing health
programmes with the communities affected by its activities
to meet the governments efforts to reduce child mortality,
combating malaria, in preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS
and most recently in the creation of a higher quality blood bank.
Community health programmes promoted by the company are
of the health support teams responsibility, being integrated into
each project through the health aspects of their social project. In
2015 the active programmes were: Malaria, HIV and Safe Delivery
(related with traditional childbirth safe delivery). However, the
Safe Blood programme had no significant activity in 2015.
Malaria Combat Programme performed
The corporate programme Malaria Combat is one of the oldest
community health programmes promoted by Odebrecht in
Angola. Malaria is an endemic disease in Angola, being the most
important cause for absenteeism and one of the most frequent
causes of death in local communities.
In partnership with the Angolan Government and together
with other national and international entities, Odebrecht is a
member of the Forum of Partners Against Malaria, since 2005,
where it has been promoting actions to prevent and combat,
contributing to the implementation of a national strategy for
combating the disease.
The Programme to Combat Malaria in Odebrecht in Angola is
part of PI-Sustainability with guidelines and procedures to be
adopted by the projects to reduce the incidence of the disease.
The implementation of this programme by Odebrecht in Angola,
translates into continuing education activities; early diagnosis
and treatment; vector control and prevention of individual and
collective of our employees, allowing early diagnosis that is
essential to combat the disease.

In relation to programme results in 2015, despite the efforts
to maintain actions in relation to malaria combat there was an
increase in API (Annual Parasite Index) in 2015 over 2014, which
means the increase of positive cases of Malaria in the population
of Odebrecht in Angola employees in 2015. This increase may be
a result of the increased rainfall in 2015 over the previous year,
allowing the accumulation of stagnant water and consequent
proliferation of the mosquitoes of malaria.
HIV/ AIDS prevention programme
In order to support the efforts of the Angolan Government in
the fight against HIV / AIDS, Odebrecht in Angola has developed
some activities among the population of employees, promoting
lectures about the disease, also offering free trials in their health
support units. Odebrecht in Angola also provides support,
routing and treatment in case of any positive cases. In 2015,
approximately 3,740 employees attended the lectures and was
performed approximately 2,500 HIV/ AIDS tests.
Safe Childbirth Programme
In order to combat the high maternal and child mortality rate
in Angola, Odebrecht launched in 2006 the Safe Childbirth
Programme. The figure of traditional midwife still plays a very
important role in the birth of children in Angola, since about
50% of the births that occurred, took place outside a formal
health structure provided by the Government. Odebrecht in
Angola promotes with traditional midwives, training actions
for the adoption of safer practices in delivery procedures, also
preventing the transmission of diseases from mother to child.
In 2015, there were 132 educational activities promoted by the
project.
CRE7
In 2015, there were no effective cases of people reallocation
on active projects in Angola, however several activities were
carried out under the two ongoing resettlement processes
relating to Laucas Dam and Cambambes Dam projects.
In the case of Laucas Dam, the resettlement process
involves communities in 10 villages from 3 municipalities in
the surrounding area of the project. During the year 2015,
the project started, performing the first awareness and
communication actions with the communities, the first
official contacts between local authorities and definition
of the resettlement area. It has also launched a public
consultation process directed to communities in relation to
new infrastructure building. It was also created the Dondo
Reference Centre, which will operate initially as Information Data
Centre about the programme and then will host the agro family
programme that is expected to create after the resettlement
process contributing to the improvement of the populations
quality of life.
In Cambambes Dam, the resettlement process is slightly more
advanced, having already started the construction of houses for
the resettlement of affected families, with delivery scheduled
for the first half of 2016. In addition, the resettlement process
included in the EIA of the project was reassessed and the
compensation values for the affected families were adjusted.

The indicators related to energy consumption, water and its origins, as well as those related to mitigation actions of
environmental impacts, were obtained from the data reported quarterly by active projects for determining the IDA
(Environmental Performance Indicator). This report is made in the corporate reporting platform and enables the
evaluation of the environmental performance of each of the ongoing projects in the reporting period. Total water
consumption data reported refers to the total water collected for all uses.
G4-EN22 Each project has monitoring and mitigation actions in place for waste water discharges control, such as installation of wastewater treatment plant on
site for the treatment of domestic waste waters and industrial waste water. In 2015, projects started to have the possibility to register the amount of
wastewater produced in the new IDA reporting scheme. However, only those with treatment infrastructures can register these quantities accurately.
The remaining estimate the reported amounts based on the number of tankers transporting wastewater to municipal treatment systems or others.

In relation to the data of sub-contractors population, it was only possible to calculate figures for the total number
of workers in this category, not being possible to present a detailed disaggregation by gender, age or job category.
This characterization is not possible since the subcontractors control is performed by each project and there is
no centralized control at corporate level (of SD). The nature of the E&C business is highly influenced by seasonal
variations, including the operational employees category, since it is directly related to the project phase.
