About this report The Leighton Asia, India and Offshore Sustainability Report 2013 is our fourth annual sustainability report. Our previous reports were published in 2008, 2011 and 2012. The information provided in this report covers the reporting period January 2013 - December 2013. Leighton Asia, India and Offshore (LAIO) comprises six business entities operating in fourteen countries throughout Asia and the Middle East. Internally and throughout this report, these six entities are referred to as: Business Units 1, 2, 3 and 4, Leighton Offshore and Leighton Welspun-India (LWIN). In November 2013, an internal restructuring saw these six entities reduced to five entities, comprising Hong Kong & Macau, Southeast Asia Construction, Indonesia Asia Mining, Leighton Offshore and Leighton India. All figures in this report correspond to the original six business unit structure. We began gathering baseline data in July 2011 for all operations except LWIN and Leighton Offshore. LWIN and Leighton Offshore began regular reporting on Health and Safety, Environment (including environmental performance indicators, Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and waste management), and Security, as of March 2012. Their initial reports covered the first quarter. Thereafter, LWIN and Leighton Offshore began to report on a monthly basis. Measurement, calculation methodology and reporting boundaries are explained in the Appendix. Financial data is presented in US dollars and environmental data is provided in metric units. SGS HK Ltd. has been commissioned to provide an independent assurance report on the quantitative data, initiatives, stakeholder engagement and materiality analysis presented in this report. Their report can be found on p8081 of this report. This report has been prepared against the guidelines set out by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The table identifying Standard Disclosures, as required by the GRI, can be found on pages 82 -85.

Act with integrity and fairness
Act with integrity and fairness
Respect all people Be truthful and honest Be open minded Be consistent Act fairly
David Palser, our Executive General Manager - Risk and Governance provides insight into the ‘conscience of our company’ and the measures taken over the last twelve months to embed a culture of integrity throughout the Leighton Asia business.
1) What is your role in the field of ethics and compliance?
As Executive General Manager, Risk & Governance, I am the senior executive responsible for leading the development and maintenance of the Leighton Asia Integrity Programme (“The RIGHT Way”), which ensures that Leighton Asia continues to achieve “Success with Integrity”. I am very lucky to lead a dedicated team of professionals who have often been described as the ‘conscience of the organisation’.
“Living our Code of Conduct ensures we have the right people, doing the right things for the right reasons.”

Sustainability Report 2013
2) Why is it important to you, personally, that Leighton Asia commits to its core value of ‘Act with Integrity and Fairness’?
Leighton’s reputation is one of its most valuable assets. The daily actions of our employees affect that reputation, both positively and negatively. It is therefore essential that every employee does the right thing, every day. Success and integrity go hand-in-hand. Integrity is essential to our business success; there can be no success without integrity.

Act with integrity and fairness
Strategy
(continued) Acting with integrity is not just about the impact on Leighton’s business. It also has an important personal element. By failing to act with integrity our employees put themselves at risk of not only losing their jobs and livelihoods, but also of going to prison. The impact of that on their wider community of family and friends would be devastating. Too often there are stories of people being sent to prison who were not motivated by personal gain, but had acted in the belief that their actions were in the interest of the company. No job is worth that.
The Leighton Asia Integrity Programme is a ‘risk-based’ integrated system, designed to address the identified integrity risks faced by the business. It includes the following key components: Culture, Leadership (“Tone from the Top”) and Clear Accountability; Effective Governance – Reportable Conduct Group; Dedicated Ethics & Compliance specialists;
3) What has been the biggest challenge in embedding
Leighton Asia has a long and proud history of building important infrastructure in Asia over the last 40 years. We employ around 20,000 people in over 10 countries, across many different cultures and languages. A number of countries in which we operate are considered to be ‘high risk’ from an integrity perspective. I strongly believe that our

“Adequate Procedures” (Rules, Processes & Systems); Whistleblower System; Training and Awareness; and Record Keeping and Reporting.
Other key milestones for Leighton Asia in 2013 included: In February, Leighton Asia appointed a Group Compliance Manager, with day-to-day responsibility for supporting our Business Units to act with integrity. In March, Leighton Asia introduced the independentlyoperated “Leighton Ethics Line” to provide our employees with another avenue to report concerns that something may not be in accordance with our Code. Released the “Living our Code: The RIGHT Way – A Message from our Managing Director” video to our staff (a copy of which can be found on our intranet page). Throughout 2013 our Reportable Conduct Group, comprising the Leighton Asia MD (Chairman), CFO, EGM, Risk & Governance, EGM, People, Safety & Sustainability

Act with integrity and fairness
Strategy
(continued) Acting with integrity is not just about the impact on Leighton’s business. It also has an important personal element. By failing to act with integrity our employees put themselves at risk of not only losing their jobs and livelihoods, but also of going to prison. The impact of that on their wider community of family and friends would be devastating. Too often there are stories of people being sent to prison who were not motivated by personal gain, but had acted in the belief that their actions were in the interest of the company. No job is worth that.
The Leighton Asia Integrity Programme is a ‘risk-based’ integrated system, designed to address the identified integrity risks faced by the business. It includes the following key components: Culture, Leadership (“Tone from the Top”) and Clear Accountability; Effective Governance – Reportable Conduct Group; Dedicated Ethics & Compliance specialists;
3) What has been the biggest challenge in embedding
Leighton Asia has a long and proud history of building important infrastructure in Asia over the last 40 years. We employ around 20,000 people in over 10 countries, across many different cultures and languages. A number of countries in which we operate are considered to be ‘high risk’ from an integrity perspective. I strongly believe that our

“Adequate Procedures” (Rules, Processes & Systems); Whistleblower System; Training and Awareness; and Record Keeping and Reporting.
Other key milestones for Leighton Asia in 2013 included: In February, Leighton Asia appointed a Group Compliance Manager, with day-to-day responsibility for supporting our Business Units to act with integrity. In March, Leighton Asia introduced the independentlyoperated “Leighton Ethics Line” to provide our employees with another avenue to report concerns that something may not be in accordance with our Code. Released the “Living our Code: The RIGHT Way – A Message from our Managing Director” video to our staff (a copy of which can be found on our intranet page). Throughout 2013 our Reportable Conduct Group, comprising the Leighton Asia MD (Chairman), CFO, EGM, Risk & Governance, EGM, People, Safety & Sustainability

celebrate success empower people encourage teamwork embrace cultural differences work hard and play hard prioritise local employment By creating a fun, challenging and performancedriven workplace, we ensure that our employees have the opportunity to both hone their strengths and work collaboratively to achieve excellent results. Our commitment to empowering our people and celebrating our successes makes Leighton Asia a compelling choice for graduates. Thomson K.Y. Leung, Graduate Engineer, Hong Kong, explains why he decided to join Leighton Asia. As a final-year student looking for a job, Leighton really caught my eye. It was one of the few companies that offered the possibility of being more than just a day job. All the employees looked energetic and engaged, and Leighton’s albums were packed with images that exuded team morale, such as the Dragon Boat Competition and Charity Walks. A company that encourages its staff to have fun and interact with each other outside of working hours most definitely enhances a sense of belonging. This was a key motivating factor behind my decision to start a career with Leighton.
In 2012-13 I was fortunate enough to hold the position of Chairman of the Leighton Young Professional Club. During this time I discovered that our core value ‘Create a fun, challenging and performance-driven culture’ is present everywhere in our company. The friendships we have created at Leighton are priceless. There are so many opportunities to meet colleagues from different project sites. The dragon boat competition and the training leading up to it provided an opportunity for team building that was really beyond compare. Not only did the competition earn us a trophy; it forged strong teammates and close friendships. Leighton doesn’t simply provide a job; it invests significant resources to ensure that we, the graduate employees, learn, play and develop, both personally and professionally. The resulting relationships forged, the memories, backed by encouragement and appreciation from the company, is without a doubt the right mix for building a strong team of people dedicated to ensuring the future success of this business.
