RECLAMATION AND CONSTRUCTION WORKS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY We view business as both an opportunity and a commitment. We have a 65-year history and are planning a much longer future. We therefore want our business to be sustainable and responsible. Our goal is to set high ethical business standards in all the companies we own or have a stake in. We apply an ethical approach towards our employees and business partners, and try to treat the surrounding countryside and the people who live in it with respect and consideration. We satisfy the strictest ISO standards and possess other certificates. The main focus of our business is rail transport, which is one of the most environmentally friendly means of transport. By gradually modernising our fleet and using intermodal transport effectively, we are successfully reducing the environmental impact of our operations. Through extensive reclamation projects, we are bringing nature back to regions affected by mining and other industrial activities. We are, however, striving to apply the sustainability principle to all our operations. With about 2,000 employees, AWT ranks as one of the biggest employers in the country. We invest in training and improving the qualifications of our employees, working with training centres, vocational schools and universities to this end. Our primary objective is to minimise accidents at work. We spend significant amounts on occupational health and safety and are working on perfecting the rules for minimising the risk of workplace accidents. We are a major donor to local non-profit organisations, but we also support socially beneficial activities that encompass all the regions where we are active. At the same time, we understand that we need to continue improving to the point where social responsibility becomes inherent throughout all our business operations.
