Our sustainable approach means that we recognize that our success does not just depend on our ability to create value for our shareholder. We also have to develop our employees, innovate, offer quality services, and manage the direct and indirect impact of our activities on the environment. In 2003, we created a dedicated Sustainable Development Department to deliver against these commitments.
For example, in 2003, we finalized the ISO 9001: 2000 certification process for all of our operating units. We continue to drive further improvement and have also undertaken an ambitious ISO 14001 environmental certification program for all units, which will be completed in early 2005.

 

With operations in a large number of European countries, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain and projects managed around the world, AMEC SPIE has implemented a decentralized organization that enables us to establish privileged relationships with customers, based on understanding and dialogue. Europe has become AMEC SPIE's home market, as it accounted for 85% of its turnover in 2003. Its regional multi-technical services subsidiaries and its specialist services subsidiaries form a network of more than 300 locations.
