2 Denmark Diversity measured on the bottom line 2

3 Country Manager Statement This presentation is under continuous development and will be updated regularly with new tools and pictures for optimising slide presentations. Diversity pays. The latest version of this presentation can be found online on at the ISS Way Portal (look under Group, Marketing Guidelines and tools ) I have been completely convinced of this since the first day I started in ISS and now it has been proved. Measurements done by the Consultancy Bureau PwC demonstrates that Questions as well as requests for new pictures can be directed to: diverse teams earns 3,7 percent more to the firm than non-diverse teams. For ISS Denmark this means that there is a big potential of increased earnings. ISS A/S - Group Marketing Bredgade 30 DK-1260 Copenhagen K DENMARK The Research is ground-breaking because no one in Denmark, and apparently neither in foreign countries, has done actual measurements on whether diversity pays off on the Bottom Line or not. group.marketing@group.issworld.com Phone: Maarten van Engeland, Country Manager ISS Netherlands, Previous Country Manager ISS Denmark 3

4 What is our approach? We measure on the following three parameters: employees, customers and finances Definition of diversity: - Max. 70 % of the same gender - Max. 70 % of the same nationality - Max. 70 % of the same generation Teams with at least five employees employees included in the research - a total of 469 teams Number of teams Non-diverse teams diverse teams Total Catering Cleaning West Cleaning East FM Industry Total

5 What do we measure? Employees Customers/Partners Finances Employee turnover Absence due to illness ISS training Employee satisfaction Management Customer satisfaction Branding / Media Growth Profitability 5

6 Diverse teams have 3,7 % greater earnings This corresponds to a potential 13.7 million Euro increase in profit per year. The profit is not caused by factors such as differences in core activities, geography, team size or seniority. It is primarily the diversity which creates the profit and not the profit which creates the diversity. Earnings Non-diverse teams Diverse teams Catering 5,0 % 6,2 % Cleaning West 14,8 % 17,0 % Cleaning East 17,2 % 21,6 % FM 17,3 % 19,2 % Industry 15,9 % 20,3 % Total 14,8 % 18,5 % 3,7 % 6
