Fugro’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting follows the framework of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In the longer term Fugro will endeavor to increase the consistent and accurate measurement around key performance indicators at holding level, provided these measurements will add value to our stake holders.
Implementation is phased and based on selected key focus areas. This will allow the organisation to collectively direct their CSR effort to these focus areas and accelerate the impact. Once certain focus areas form an integral part of our company values, new key focus areas will be selected.
A critical part of Fugro’s sustainable success is its people, being the enabler to bring technology, equipment and expertise to our clients. This theme has guided the selection of the 2011-2012 key focus areas, which are summarized as follows:
-
Providing a healthy and safe work environment has a direct impact on the wellbeing of our employees, their families, friend and communities. Fugro considers this a differentiator for the recruitment and retainment of experienced staff.
-
Maximising local content is critical to maintain and/or reinforce our position in relation to the competition. Focus on this area will also create sustainable development, through the direct interface with local communities and suppliers.
-
Continuous development of our staff through the human resource initiative, "Partnership for Growth" program and focused training through the Fugro Academy, will provide a personal growth environment during all stages of an employee’s career.
-
CSR works when implemented from within the operating company. In line with Fugro’s decentralized structure, the Executive Committee is responsible for setting key focus areas, with the operating companies taking responsibility for the implementation, taking local practice and standards into account.
