OUR APPROACH TO CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Sustainability at Boskalis goes beyond managing our business and projects in a responsible manner. We seek to leverage our ability to influence and innovate, to create added social, environmental and economic value where we can. Our approach is framed in our General Code of Business Conduct, which is based on international guidelines and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We endorse the principles of the International Labor Organization and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
In order to integrate sustainable practices into our business, we develop and improve processes to manage our material environmental and social impacts and opportunities. For instance, through our Way of Working (WoW) quality management system, launched company-wide in 2017. The system provides a consistent approach to bring operational excellence – in areas including health and safety, environment and social responsibility – to our projects. In 2018 we worked to further integrate sustainable practices into WoW. Our Wave Jump Innovation Challenge, established as the ‘Boskalis Innovation Challenge’ in 2015, continued in 2018 to inspire sustainable innovation throughout the business, with several new innovations expected to be launched in 2019. Our long running No Injuries No Accidents (NINA) safety program and environmental management system remain a core part of our approach to deliver safe and environmentally sound operations around the globe. All key Boskalis business units are ISM, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified, or
