PRINCIPLES

GENERAL CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT Integrity, reliability and responsibility are key elements for building trust between Boskalis and its stakeholders. These intrinsic values are reinforced by establishing guidelines and principles for responsible business conduct, and ensuring these are maintained. Boskalis has a General Code of Business Conduct, which is based on international guidelines, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We endorse the principles of the International Labour Organization (including safety on the work floor through our safety program, No Injuries, No Accidents, and the conventions of the International Labour Organization, among others related to child labour) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Boskalis accepts responsibility for matters which lie within its sphere of influence. In the countries where Boskalis operates, we are subject to national legislation and regulations. Boskalis refrains from cultural judgments and conducts itself as a good citizen or guest. We adhere to relevant international and national sanctions. Boskalis reviews its General Code of Business Conduct at least once every two years, most recently in 2018.

The full text of our General Code of Business Conduct is available on our corporate website.
