Responsible business, positive outcomes

1 1 Responsible business, positive outcomes 16 September 2016 2 Introduction The Reporting Guidelines support the preparation and reporting of non-financial key performance indicators (NFKPI) in relation to people and communities, environment, marketplace and governance in the Kier Corporate Responsibility Report 2016. Basis and scope of reporting Kier Group is a leading property, residential, construction and services group. We operate across a range of sectors including defence, education, health, housing, industrial, power, property, transport and utilities.

2 Except where stated otherwise, NFKPIs are reported at a group-level and include data from businesses that are wholly owned or, for joint ventures, where Kier has a controlling interest (>50%). Acquisitions are included in reported figures from the earliest practical opportunity, but only when the data and underlying systems, processes and controls are meet with reporting standards. Excluded acquisitions are disclosed. Approach to reporting Kier s reporting, including the Annual Report and Accounts, and Corporate Responsibility Report, are aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

3 This document includes our material issues and their relationship with the GRI G4 sustainability reporting framework. We endeavour to ensure that: The reported information reflects our performance and serves the decision-making needs of all users. The data is meaningful and is consistent with the stated definitions, scope and boundaries. Any specific exclusion is stated clearly and explained. We use consistent methodologies wherever possible to allow for comparisons over time and if we make any changes they are transparent to all users.

4 We describe openly any assumptions made and our accounting and calculation methods. We aim for sufficient transparency to enable users to have confidence in the integrity of our report. Re-statement of reported data Where information is available, we will restate figures in prior years to make data as comparable between years as possible. Restatements will be disclosed when necessary. Reporting Specifics NFKPI subject to limited assurance Parameter: Time spent by staff supporting local communities and providing employment and skills opportunities Definition: Number of hours reported by staff on fund raising, volunteering activities, providing work experience opportunities and supporting apprentices during the fiscal year.
