Governance

For long-term corporate success

Long-term economic success underpins every corporate activity at PORR. Here we are involved inconstant dialogue with our stakeholders and always keep an eye on sustainably increasing thecompany’s value. The following points form the basis and contribute to the achievement of our goals:

• Our five Principles provide the basis for conduct that is morally, ethically and legally sound
• Fair competition and upholding the law as overarching priority
• Risk management and customer focus
• Fair and constructive cooperation (PORR Code of Conduct)
• Ensure a sustainable supply chain

Fulfilling Due Diligence systematically: The Group is certified in accordance with ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management System) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management System). In addition, ISO 9001 certifies PORR’s quality management system, while ISO 45001 ensures that human rights aspects are embedded and reviewed within our organizational processes. Annual compliance checks are conducted to verify implementation and alignment with these guiding principles.

Since 2017, PORR has had a system in place for reporting violations regulated in the Market Abuse Regulation (issuer compliance) as well as violations in connection with money laundering or terrorist financing. On the one hand, reports can be made known via the e-mail address compliance@porr.at. On the other hand, the whistleblowing platform allows anyone anonymous two-way communication: https://whbs.porr.at

Ethics – Respect for Human Rights as a Central Condition

Our principle is clear and unchangeable: respect for human rights (Human Rights Policy) is a cornerstone of all PORR’s activities. PORR is committed to the principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, PORR observes in its business operations the principles and rights set out in the "Declaration of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up" and aligns its due diligence processes with the requirements of the "UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights". With the Modern Slavery Act Policy Statement, PORR commits to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking throughout the entire value chain. Child and forced labour on its construction sites and within its sphere of influence are not tolerated. Employees are fundamentally guaranteed both freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

We also ensure fair labour practices and the protection of human rights in the supply chain. The Group-wide Code of Conduct for employees, the Code of Conduct for business partners, and our Compliance Management System contribute to the achievement of these goals. Local procurement, selective supplier screening, regular audits, supplier master data sheets, and exclusion criteria support a comprehensive procurement management approach.
