Abridged report on sustainability 2012 Foreword
Ladies and Gentlemen,
At Bilfinger, sustainability means putting the implementation and
achievement of economic, environmental and social goals on equal
footing. It is a core element of the Groups Vision Statement and
shapes our relationship with employees, customers and other
stakeholders.
Bilfinger has a large proportion of sustainable products and
services. For many years, we have provided our customers solu-
tions that help them achieve their own sustainability objectives.
In particular, this concerns the issues of efficiency, lifecycle opti-
mization, conservation of resources and the expansion and use of
environmental technology and renewable energies. With this re-
port we also want to make our own ecological and social commit-
ment transparent.
Our objective is to make an active contribution to the conser-
vation of resources, to the advancement and development of our
employees and to the continuous improvement of social condi-
tions. We are proud to have recorded important achievements in
these areas in the past year. These include, in particular, the
implementation of a new compliance regulatory framework, the
extension of our HSEQ activities and a further improvement in the
framework conditions for compatibility between career and family.
We invite you to join us as we continue along this path.
Yours,
Roland Koch
Chief Executive Officer

Assuming responsibility
As a company with a corporate history of over 130 years, we feel
we have a special connection to the concept of sustainability. Our
top priority is to secure Bilfingers future. As a result, company
policy is not built upon short-term goals, it focuses on medium
and long-term success. Such success can only come about, in our
opinion, if our business activities also take non-economic factors
into account and are able to reconcile the needs of employees,
customers, suppliers, shareholders and other social groups.
Considering the entire lifecycle
We consistently focus on the lifecycle approach in all of our proj-
ects, taking into account the various phases in the service life of
plants and real estate. We aspire to define ourselves by means of
quality, to set standards with regard to sustainability and to fur-
ther solidify our market position through the continuous expansion
of our service range.
Highlights 2012
In the past year, Bilfinger made important progress in the imple-
mentation of its sustainability strategy. Some of the outstanding
results include:
_ Implementation of a new compliance regulatory framework
and extensive employee training
_ Expansion of HSEQ activities and establishment of the Group-
wide HSEQ management system
_ Improvement of the framework conditions for compatibility be-
tween career and family
Goals for 2013
For the current financial year, we are planning:
_ Implementation of the occupational safety campaign SAFETY-
WORKS!
_ Further development of measures for promoting women to
management positions
_ Structuring our service range in the area of energy efficiency
_ Intensifying internal and external communication on the issue
of sustainability
Medium and long-term goals
It is our objective to position ourselves as a sustainable company
and to further expand our competitive advantage.
_ We will increase the share of sustainable products and serv-
ices and ensure that our clients meet their sustainability goals.
_ We want to create innovations for power plants, industrial
facilities and real estate that are targeted toward climate pro-
tection, service life extension and resource conservation.
_ We will further optimize health protection and working condi-
tions for our employees.
_ We will reduce the negative environmental impact of our busi-
ness activities and expand our sustainability requirements
along the value chain.
_ We seek inclusion in sustainability indices. To this end, we are
working on our central management system for the control and
development of sustainability activities. At the same time, we
are extending the regional and content-related coverage and
are optimizing the sustainability reporting system in the cor-
porate units in order to generate key sustainability figures that
are comparable.

Our sustainability strategy
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
Mothers smiles shine from the walls wherever Bilfinger Industrier Norway is at
work. In workshops, factories, refineries, industrial buildings and offshore instal-
lations, they cast friendly but scrutinizing glances at what is going on and im-
plore: Be careful! The posters make up part of an occupational safety cam-
paign for which the company was awarded the Bilfinger Safety Award in 2013.
RESOURCE PROTECTION
Bilfinger Construction is building major tunnel sections for the new XFEL x-ray
flash facility in Hamburg. We treat the accumulated construction and ground -
water to nearly drinking-water quality before it is returned to the Dpenau river.
To this end, we developed a six-stage purification process.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Bilfinger Mauell developed the Smart Grid control system. The system is capa-
ble of measuring the quantity of electricity generated locally and of providing
data for the optimal utilization of the grid. In May 2013 the Smart Grid project
was awarded the Hessian State Prize for intelligent energy.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As part of a Knowledge Factory project in Halle, Bilfinger HSG Facility Manage-
ment supported school children in founding their own company. The students de-
veloped a concept for a small juice shop as a fun way to familiarize themselves
with economic processes including personnel, financial and sales planning.

The consideration of ecological requirements takes a high priority
for us whether we are supporting and advising clients or planning
and optimizing our own processes. We have put management sys-
tems in place to serve this aim. All units of the company are certi-
fied in accordance with the environmental management standard
ISO 14001 or integrate environmental goals in the framework of
other management systems such as ISO 9001. The proportionate
share of ISO 14001 certifications increased substantially in 2012.
Further expansion is planned for 2013. Certification in accordance
with ISO 50001 (Energy Management Systems) is also in prepara-
tion for certain companies.
Materials
Our aim is to utilize materials economically and efficiently. We
therefore pay attention to local availability in order to keep transport
expenses as low as possible. When selecting materials, we take
their entire lifecycle into account, examining aspects such as main-
tenance-friendliness, durability, health hazards and recyclability.
We also consider and discuss a range of different material alterna-
tives with our customers, examining the impact on people and the
environment. Group-wide, we purchased raw materials, auxiliary
materials, supplies and goods valued at approximately 1.5 billion
in 2012. They primarily consist of steel, concrete and insulation.
Energy and emissions
When it comes to energy efficiency, we do not just optimize our
products and services, but our own processes as well. The follow-
ing electricity, natural gas and district heating consumption figures
are based on energy consumption in Germany, where Bilfinger
generated 39 percent of its output volume in 2012. The total
amount of energy required amounted to 164,948 megawatt hours.
CO2 emissions totaled 110,677 tons. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol,
an internationally recognized reporting standard for companies, is
used as the basis for calculating our CO2 emissions.
We seek to keep the amount of energy we require as low as
possible and to reduce the CO2 emissions we cause. And so we
encourage the use of low CO2 vehicles by means of a bonus/malus
system.
Water and wastewater
Water is an indispensable resource for people, nature and eco-
nomic growth. The conservation of water counts among our most
important tasks. We therefore utilize water efficiently within the
scope of our activities.
Waste
We take into consideration the type and amount of resulting waste
as early as the material selection phase. If it is not possible to
avoid waste, we try to initiate a recycling or recovery procedure.
We accordingly plan collection and disposal concepts at an early
stage.
Biodiversity
As early as the tendering stage, we develop solutions that neu-
tralize or mitigate the impact on nature wherever possible. We
take precautions at an early stage to reduce noise, vibrations, dust
and exhaust gases.
TRANSPORT BY SHIP INSTEAD OF TRUCK
Instead of sending 130 trucks on a 1,300 kilometer journey, Bilfinger Construc-
tion transported all of the site equipment for the construction of the Norwegian
Dalsfjord bridge via waterway. Just under 5,500 tons of equipment including ex-
cavators, floating pontoons and rotating tower cranes departed Hamburg on two
boats bound for Norway in early 2012. Ship transportation may be logistically
more complex than using trucks, but it costs less and dampens the environmen-
tal impact substantially.
FISH LADDER ON THE MOSEL BARRAGE
When rivers are made navigable with barrages, it brings about advantages for
people and the economy. However, the barrages block the upstream path for
fish. It is for this reason that fish ladders, fish transfer systems or fish passes
are built. As part of the expansion of the Mosel barrage near Koblenz, Bilfinger
Scheven assumed responsibility for the hydraulic steel and steel construction as
well as delivery and assembly of the technical systems for the new fish pass
including an electronic counting system.

EMPLOYEES BY BUSINESS SEGMENT EMPLOYEES BY REGION
Our employees are our most important resource. We develop their
skills, promote their performance and deal with each other with
respect, fairness and loyalty. This is perhaps one of the reasons
why we have been consistently ranked among the most attractive
employers in our industry for many years.
Equal opportunities
As an internationally-positioned Group with a highly diversified
range of activities and services, we rely on employees with dif-
fering experience, qualifications and perspectives. We respect for
the personality of each individual employee and reject discrimina-
tion in any form. For Bilfinger the support of and compliance with
human rights is as much a matter of course as the observance of
employee rights.
As of December 31, 2012, 10,849 women were employed by
the Bilfinger Group. This represents 16 percent of our employees
(in Germany: 25 percent). We aim to increase the percentage of
women in our workforce and raise the percentage of women in
management positions to between 15 and 20 percent by 2020.
That percentage is now just under 7 percent. Focus areas include
the compatibility of career and family, making working conditions
more flexible, personnel development for women as well as
school/university marketing and employer branding.
Work-life balance
Bilfinger set the improvement in the compatibility of work and fam-
ily as a primary Group objective in 2011. Solutions include, in par-
ticular, flexible working time models as well as programs for the
care of children and relatives with special needs. The comprehen-
sive range of sport and other health-related initiatives at Bilfinger
are met with high demand among employees.
Training
We give our employees the skills they need to meet ever-greater
challenges and achieve their professional goals. In addition to ex-
ternal training, Bilfinger offers a range of training and qualification
measures through the Bilfinger Academy.
Occupational safety
No task is so urgent or so important that safety precautions can
be ignored. We are convinced that it is possible to completely
avoid accidents. That is why we continue to concertedly pursue
our aim of zero accidents.
Reporting on the Group-wide recording of HSEQ events was
further extended in 2012. Management software was imple-
mented that records HSEQ events in accordance with uniform stan-
dards worldwide. We developed a concept for a behavior-based
safety program (SAFETYWORKS!) that will be implemented
throughout the Group starting in 2013 to further improve the safety
culture at Bilfinger. In the 2012 reporting period, the Bilfinger
Safety Awards were presented for the first time to Bilfinger oper-
ating units that distinguished themselves through their outstand-
ing commitment.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AWARD
Bilfinger Construction is building large sections of the 3.4-kilometer-long
Wehrhahn line, a new underground rail line in Dsseldorf. Bilfinger initi-
ated a competition among the sub-projects of the construction site: each
month a sub-project receives an award for achieving the best results in
the area of occupational safety. Not only does the safest construction
site get a certificate, but also a snack for the entire team.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN SOUTH AFRICA
At its plant near Pretoria, Bilfinger Power Systems manufactures compo-
nents for coal-fired power plants. We train our employees in our own
facilities to enable us to manufacture these components in South Africa.
This concept means that we can make an important contribution to edu-
cation and ensure the quality of our work. Many employees stay with
the company for years.

SHARE OF WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN INTERNAL TRAINING IN GERMANY

We see ourselves as part of society. We therefore get involved as

corporate citizens wherever our business activities are located. In
particular, we support projects in the areas of education, culture
and sport as well as social projects. Our corporate units decide
for themselves which concerns are locally important and select
the projects they wish to support.
Our commitment to social issues is based to a great extent on
the volunteer work of our employees at all hierarchical levels
even members of the Executive Board get involved. They show
their commitment in the context of community days, provide train-
ing, give lectures and actively participate in local initiatives.
Our responsibility is also reflected in aid campaigns for charity
organizations and for those in need. Frequently initiated by indi-
vidual staff members and supported by management, these cam-
paigns raise large sums of money for the respective aid organiza-
tions. Fundraising is carried out by collecting donations, holding
draws or raffles as well as by donating the registration fees for
sporting events.
The projects that we support include
_ Endowed chairs at the University of Mannheim and the State
Technical College in Leipzig
_ Deutschlandstipendium (Germany Scholarship) from the Ger-

COMMITMENT TO THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS
A number of employees from Bilfinger were actively involved as voluntary
helpers at the 2012 Special Olympics in Munich. A total of 70 apprentices,
trainees and BA students from 13 Group companies supported the 5,000 athletes
who competed in 19 sports. Bilfinger Industrial Services was the top sponsor of
the National games for people with mental disabilities.
SPONSORING MANNHEIMS NATIONAL THEATER
Bilfinger is sponsoring National Theater in Mannheim for a three-year period.
The company is the main sponsor of the film documentation of the so-called
New Mannheim Ring. This will be a significant contribution to a large-scale
project to document the new production of the opera cycle marking the Wagner
anniversary year in 2013.

market in view of our experience of international projects.
Wind power Bilfinger has specialist expertise in the construction
of wind turbines. Bilfinger Construction is the market leader in the
construction of offshore wind power turbines in the North Sea and
Baltic Sea. In collaboration with partners, we have won total or-
ders to construct the foundations of 530 wind turbines in this re-
gion since 2004. Onshore, we have many years of experience in
the approval, production, delivery and assembly of specialized pre-
stressing technology for the construction of wind turbines from
prefabricated concrete components.
Since Bilfinger attaches substantial importance to the further de-
velopment of its range of sustainable services, more than 200 re-
search and development projects are currently in progress. We
have research projects in the area of wind energy, for example,
that focus on external prestressing (onshore) as well as on noise
protection during the construction of wind parks (offshore).
Hydropower Bilfinger specializes in the manufacture of highly
sophisticated impellers and control systems that enable signifi-
cant increases in the efficiency and effectiveness of existing hy-
droelectric power plants. We also have a leading position in the
construction, modernization and maintenance of pumped-storage
power plants. We supply and install key components such as pres-
sure piping systems, isolating valves and other specialized parts.
As one of just a handful of companies, we can deliver engineering,
manufacturing and assembly from a single source.

FOUNDATIONS FOR LONDON ARRAY OFFSHORE WIND PARK
In cooperation with Danish partner Per Aarsleff, Bilfinger Construc-
tion built the foundations for 175 wind turbines and two transformer
stations for the London Array offshore wind park. In its first devel-
opment phase, the wind park has an output of 630 megawatts.
925,000 tons of CO2 will thus be averted each year.
AGRICULTURAL WASTE FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION
At the end of 2012 one of the worlds largest biomass power plants
went into operation in the Polish town of Polaniec. Bilfinger Indus-
trial Services fireproofed the giant boiler, which burns exclusively
wood chips and pellets from agricultural waste. The climate-neutral
biomass power station can avert 1.2 million tons of CO2 emissions
otherwise released by burning fossil fuels annually.
PRESSURE PIPES FOR HYDROELECTRIC POWER
Bilfinger VAM is one of the few European companies capable of
both manufacturing and assembling pressure piping for hydroelec-
tric power plants. The company is manufacturing the pressure tun-
nel plating and other piping system components the Reieck II
pumped-storage power plant in Austria. The modernization means
that the output of the entire facility increases by over 40 percent
to 1,500 megawatts.

Sustainable products and services
Bilfingers core competencies include increasing the energy effi-
ciency of industrial plants, power stations and buildings. For our
customers, we deliver complex industrial services for the entire
lifecycle of a plant, modernize and expand conventional power
plants and reduce the energy demand of real-estate properties.
The result is not only substantial cost savings, but also an increase
in the efficiency level and a reduction of emissions that are envi-
ronmentally harmful.
Bilfinger Power Systems offers many innovative and well-
established technologies for the purification of waste gas.
We have been designing and constructing high-performance waste
gas purification plants since the mid-1980s and rank among the
pioneers in this field. We undertake the complete project manage-
ment and implementation of such plants for power stations, incin-
erators and other production and combustion processes. Our pu-
rification solutions can be used for SO2, SO3, NOx, HCl, HF, dust
and other relevant pollutants. We also supply highly-efficient
waste gas purification systems for smaller incinerators.

DISTRICT HEATING ACCUMULATOR AS BUFFER

Bilfinger VAM is currently building Germanys most powerful district heating accumulator
for the Mannheim Power Plant. With this system, it is possible to react more flexibly to
fluctuating demand for conventional energy. Because the heating accumulator serves as a
buffer, it will no longer be necessary to put the power plant into operation at short notice.
INSULATION OF INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
Together with the European Industrial Insulation Foundation (Eiif), Bilfinger has devel-
oped a standardized consulting program for the insulation of industrial facilities. Follow-
ing consultations at Wacker Chemie, the insulation of one boiler alone, including periph-
erals, led to a reduction of CO2 emissions of 4.5 tons per year.
USAGE OF WASTE HEAT FROM FLUE GAS
The new 670 megawatt block of the Boxberg coal-fired power plant in Germanys Lausitz
region has an extremely high level of efficiency as compared to older coal-fired power
plants. Thanks to the flue-gas desulfurization system from Bilfinger Power Systems, this
coal-fired power plant achieves a reduction in CO2 emissions totaling 46,000 tons per year.

Sustainable products and services
Water is one of our most important resources. Our portfolio of
services gives us a leading position in many areas of water and
wastewater technology. Bilfinger offers customers from municipal
authorities and industry efficient and cost-effective solutions for
water treatment, wastewater purification, sludge processing, re-
cycling management and sewage plant optimization. Among other
things, Bilfinger produces mechanical components for the separa-
tion of solids from liquids and gases and provides associated serv-
ices.
In the field of wastewater engineering, Bilfinger Water Tech-
nologies provides various solutions for collecting and treating
wastewater. Vacuum sanitary technology uses air as a transport
medium and requires significantly less water than conventional
systems.
In order to improve operations at wastewater treatment plants,
we have developed software for the management of measurement
and control systems capable of achieving significant improvements
in energy efficiency while reducing the addition of chemical agents
to eliminate phosphates in wastewater.
In the Arabian Gulf region we have been actively involved in
the modernization and optimization of seawater desalination
plants for decades and thereby contribute to securing the supply
of drinking water. The objective of our work there is a reduction
in the energy consumption of plants while at the same time in-
creasing the amount of water produced.
Water supply and disposal
VACUUM TECHNOLOGY FOR KIEV
The 2012 European Football Championship final was played in the Olympic Sta-
dium in Kiev, the Ukranian capital. Bilfinger Water Technologies installed a vac-
uum system in the basement of the stadium. The system allows the wastewater
of the 70,000-capacity arena to be transported through a vacuum system, thus
reducing water consumption significantly. Whereas between seven and twelve
liters of water per person are flushed through washbasins and toilets at similar
major events, the figure in Kiev stands at just 1.3 liters.
WASTEWATER TECHNOLOGY FOR MEXICO CITY
Emisor Oriente, the new 60-kilometer wastewater tunnel will ensure that
Mexico City is not flooded by its own wastewater during the rainy season. It is
currently considered one of the most important infrastructure measures in the
world. For two of the five pumping stations, Bilfinger Water Technologies deliv-
ered both fully-automatic rake screens and sluices with which the canals can be
completely closed for maintenance or in cases of emergency.
SEAWATER DESALINATION FOR KUWAIT
At the Shuwaikh desalination facility in the Arabian Gulf, Bilfinger Power Sys-
tems has increased the performance of the system by carrying out a complete
overhaul of three blocks. The efficiency of the plant thus increases by up to
15 percent and secures the supply of drinking water for the population.

The concept capitalizes on Bilfingers comprehensive project and
process competences, which not only include design and construc-
tion in their more traditional forms, but also energy management
and facility services. Forward-looking planning that takes all cost
factors into consideration, the use of modern technology to save
energy, the intelligent selection of high-quality and sustainable
materials as well as a flexible overall concept all combine to de-
liver a property with high environmental compatibility and long-
term returns. Bilfinger implemented the concept for the first time
at its administration building in Oberhausen. The Groups planned
new headquarters in Mannheim and a real estate project for BASF
are also based on the one concept.
Sustainable buildings
REAL ESTATE PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
In Oberhausen, Bilfinger built a new administration building which was im-
plemented in line with the one lifecycle concept and in accordance with
the latest sustainability standards. The property was awarded a pre-certifi-
cation in silver by the German Sustainable Building Council.
LEED CERTIFICATION IN CHINA
In Changun, Northeast China, Bilfinger Industrial Technologies supported
DSM, a Dutch life-science company in the design and construction of LEED
certified laboratories and administrative buildings. The buildings are part of
a production facility for antibiotics.
LOW-COST ENERGY CONCEPT
Bilfinger HSG Facility Management developed a new energy concept for the
St. Josef Hospital in Troisdorf: the hospital now covers nearly half of its en-
ergy requirements with a combined heat and power plant, thus reducing
costs by 20 percent. At the same time CO2 emissions have been reduced by
approximately 1,200 tons per year.
PROTECTED STUDENT HOUSING BUILDING
Under the careful consideration of the buildings protected status, Bilfinger
Hochbau modernized a student dormitory in Leipzig in 2012. Targeted meas-
ures were used to reduce the primary energy requirements of the building
by 90 percent. The CO2 savings amount to approximately 140 tons a year.
