BOSKALIS APPROACH FOR MANAGING POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT

Our activities vary widely in their potential impact. We seek to avoid or minimize the potential adverse impacts resulting from our activities, and otherwise to mitigate or remedy these. We exercise our leverage to bring change if we are in a position to influence the entity responsible for the impact. Where we can, we aim to promote positive contributions.

For reference the Boskalis approach for managing potential adverse impact is illustrated below.
