According to the principles of good governance and pursuant to Decree-Law no. 133/2013, which has been in effect since December 2013, every year, state-owned companies are obliged to submit a separate report on good practices in corporate governance providing full, up-to-date information on all matters regulated by Chapter II of the above Decree-Law enti-tled "Principles of Corporate Governance".

In compliance with Article 54 of the Decree-Law, EMEF has drawn up this report for 2016.

In 2016 EMEF drafted a business plan and budgets for 2017-2019, the accounting documents for 2015 and monthly and quarterly fiscal execution reports.

There were no changes in the membership of the Board of Directors in 2016. The current members are also directors of the single shareholder, CP, and are therefore not remunerated by EMEF.

There were changes in the membership of the Supervisory Board, as described in Chapter V.C. of this report. Nonetheless the positions of Chair and acting members continue to be unremunerated as they are on the payroll of CP, E.P.E.

The remunerations of the Statutory Auditor and External Auditor are declared in this report. The report also describes efforts towards economic, social and environmental sustainability and transactions with related and other parties.

Every year, EMEF publishes a good corporate governance report to inform its shareholder and the general public as to how it pursued its mission, the degree of achievement of its goals, the way in which it abided by its policy of social responsibility and sustainable develop-ment and to what extent it preserved its competitiveness through research and develop-ment, innovation and the adoption of new technologies in the production process.

EMEF's aim is to become the national reference in railway rolling stock.

Traditionally linked to the railway sector, EMEF has taken on the mission of creating value for its customers, personnel and shareholder. It is awareness of this mission that motivates the Company, gives it meaning and is a way of binding the efforts that everyone makes on a daily basis.

The way to achieve these broad goals is set out in policies based on the following principles:

• Developing customer-oriented activity

• Creating safe conditions for the workforce and rolling stock

• Protecting the environment

• Managing activity in such a way as to ensure economic and financial sustainability and continuity of independent operations.

automatically becoming an AIP (Portuguese Industrial Association) member,

facilitating access to CSF structural funds and obtaining subsidised interest rates

on loans under the memorandum of understanding signed with BES.

1995 EMEF is currently registered as a Class B correspondent, with the following

advantages: free receipt of standards (Portuguese, European and ISO) issued

Pursuant to Article 44 of Decree-Law no. 133/2013, the Company discloses information on the EMEF site.

WEBSITE

VI INTERNAL ORGANISATION // E.

The Company's website address is www.emef.pt.

EMEF operates in strict observance of the principles of social responsibility and sustainable development. Ethically

correct conduct is an undeniable reference internally and in relations with customers, suppliers and the communi-

ty in general.

The Code of Ethics contains certain values and principles which define conduct standards, mould EMEF's identity

and image and serve as a reference for all those that come into direct or indirect contact with it.

It was approved by the EMEF Worker's Committee, circulated to the staff and sent to the Authority for Working

Conditions, as required by law, and is therefore one of the Company's internal regulations.

The Code of Ethics is therefore recognised as a commitment made by all EMEF's personnel and corporate bodies with-

out exception. It applies to all those employed by EMEF, irrespective of their type of contract and hierarchical position.

IX ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S ECONOMIC, SOCIALAND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

// ECONOMIC RESPONSIBILITY

In the pursuance of its business, in 2016 EMEF continued to abide by efficiency criteria by means of significant cost containment and the careful rationalisation of resources, process-es and procedures, in addition to taking steps to increase its national and international market share.

// ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

In 2016, EMEF's quality management system (QMS) continued to have NP EN ISO 9001:2008 certification from the SGS in all its bodies and activities.

Although the management system in place has only been certified for quality, it still includes environmental aspects and occupational safety. It is also articulated with the human resource management system and the requirements of EU Regulation no. 445/2011.

Regarding the maintenance and development of environmental management in articulation with the corporate units, we can highlight:

• Environmental assessmentThe Company awarded a contract for the environmental assessment of EMEF's Amadora facilities under standard NP ISO 14015:2006 (Environmental manage-ment; environmental assessment of sites and organisations) and ASTM E2137-06 (2011) (Standard guide for estimating monetary costs and liabilities for environ-mental matters).

• Waste managementContinued management and implementation of the overall current waste contract (Empresa Renascimento), covering all EMEF workshops. The assess-ment of this contract/service continued to show a positive performance.

• Energy intensive consumption management system (SGCIE – sistema de gestão de consumos intensivos de energia)Under Decree-Law no. 71/2008 of 15 April which regulates the SGCIE, this system forms part of a plan for the rationalisation of energy consumption and resulting reduction in its cost. The implementation of its measures involved the environmental sector, preservation of the quality, safety and environment and local bodies.The facilities covered by this system are the Centre Workshop Unit (POC – Entroncamento) and the Northern Workshop Unit (PON –Guifões only).

Page 42: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2016 - EMEF · CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT I. Executive Summary II. Mission, goals and policies III. Capital structure IV. Shareholdings and bonds

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 40

• Energy auditsEMEF complied with Decree-Law no. 68-A/2015 of 30 April on energy audits, continuing the work started in 2015. In 2016, energy audits were performed by an entity recognised by the Department of Energy and Geology at all the sites at which EMEF operates and where it has its own energy contract (except PON Guifões and POC - under the SGCIE).

• Air conditioning equipment EMEF continued its monitoring and maintenance of certification of technicians for the Handling of Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (GFEE) in Cooling Equipment pursuant to Decree-Law no. 56/2011 of 21 April.

• Monitoring of liquid and gaseous effluentsLiquid and gaseous effluent monitoring was carried out locally by the workshop units, as provided for in environmental procedures and legal requirements, in order to comply with set limits.

• Internal and external environmental communications- Submission of waste tables and their upload to the SILiAmb Portal (Integrat-

ed System for Environmental Licensing)- Submission of information to the APA (Portuguese Environment Agency) on the

quantity recovered in the handling of greenhouse gases in fixed equipment- Incorporation of data for the INE 2015 Management and Protection of the

Environment survey- Consolidation and transmission of data to be included in the CP, EPE sustain-

ability report for 2015.

• Cooperation with local environmental bodies- Analysis and monitoring of requirements for the handling of refrigerants, in

order to achieve improvements in liquid and gaseous effluents, solvents, industrial licensing inspections, waste production records, etc.

- Follow-up of monitoring and data transmission plans to the authorities, espe-cially solvent management plans, annual waste records (SIRAPA) and moni-toring of gaseous and liquid effluents

Page 43: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2016 - EMEF · CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT I. Executive Summary II. Mission, goals and policies III. Capital structure IV. Shareholdings and bonds

41

// SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

• Principle of Gender EqualityThe Code of Ethics expressly condemns any type of discrimination, coercion or harassment due to gender, and EMEF has an Ethics Committee to which any occur-rence, complaint or irregular situation that may breach the rules in the Code may be reported.

The external recruitment process ensures equal opportunities and treatment of all job applicants.

The EMEF pay and training policies observe the principle of non-discrimination by reason of gender.

The competencies of the EMEF members of staff of both genders are assessed equally in promotions and career advancement and in access to senior manage-ment or executive positions.

In absolute terms, the number of women in executive positions increased in 2016 but as a percentage it decreased by 1%.

From 2012 to 2016, there was a fluctuation in overall frequency rates (fr) and severity rates (sr), the latter having risen more.

Comparing 2015 and 2016, there were 21 more occupational accidents in 2016 (14 more with sick leave, four of which occured while commuting, which account-ed for 230 days of sick leave). The average number of man hours worked in 2016 dropped by approximately 1.6% compared to 2015. The combination of these factors in the calculation of these overall indexes (EMEF) resulted in the rise in the indicators in 2016.

• Human resource management

Meetings with the ORTs (workers' organisations)

Aware of the importance of close communication with the workers' repre-sentatives, particularly understanding their position on the organisational climate, relevant aspects of the Company's day-to-day activity and its future, the Board of Directors and the Executive Management continued their policy of dialogue and frequent meetings with the representatives of the Workers' Committee and trade unions. Noteworthy are the efforts and understanding of the workers' organisations in the analyses made, the measures taken and the results obtained throughout the year, which allowed for social stability and a positive working atmosphere, the outcome of which were the Compa-ny's good results.

Employability

There was a reversal in the size of the Company's workforce in 2016. There was substantial increase in the number of employees due to a rising workload, basically because of the contracts concluded for maintenance of the entire Metro do Porto fleet, the general 960,000 km service of 35 to 40 Eurotram vehicles at Metro do Porto and the half-life/R1 of the Alfa Pendular trains.

On 31 December 2016, EMEF's workforce numbered 1,048 (96.1% men and the other 3.9% women).

45

The changes in workforce for the last decade are set out below:

On the same date, 986 EMEF employees had indefinite employment contracts and 45 had fixed-term contracts. There were also 14 workers with loan contracts, two under a secondment agreement and another under a public interest labour loan agreement.

Vocational training

As part of its occupational skills development, in 2016 EMEF organised a company-wide plan involving employees from its different bodies and using outsourced training.

One training plan was predominantly technical for each company body and the other was company-wide and involved subjects such as management, IT, foreign languages and retraining of employees in order to improve their skills and productivity.

The company-wide plan included courses such as advanced management and management and leadership programmes, and training in lean man-agement, document management and English.

Where retraining was concerned, courses were given in technical drawing, industrial automation (hydraulic and pneumatic), electricity and electronics, power electronics and digital electronics.

In-house training represented 49% of the training hours provided, while the remaining 51% was outsourced, reversing the trend of previous years.

Internal communication2016 witnessed the launch of the Nós, EMEF [Us at EMEF] project to moti-vate employees, foster a feeling of belonging and create a climate of trust between personnel and the Company.

The project resulted from the need to step up in-house communication and make it more effective, positive and interactive by sharing ideas, opinions, information and knowledge.

The social and relational situation at EMEF was diagnosed by collecting and analysing information and conducting interviews.

On the basis of criteria of credibility, knowledge of the organisation, people skills and positive influence, we appointed ambassadors at each location to act as channels for connections and involvement of all employees.

This diagnosis resulted in the approval of the Company's communication policy, which was based on its mission, values and the principles that under-lie its organisational model.

Our communication policy applies to all company communications, regard-less of the recipients in question. It is based on the following principles:

1. Truth – the information conveyed must be transparent, accurate and truthful, avoiding disinformation, confusion or rumours.

2. Courtesy – communications must be pleasant and polite and reflect mutual respect between correspondents.

3. Objectivity – communications must be objective, concise, simple, uniform and worded in such a way as to protect the transmission and company knowledge and ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the message conveyed using the appropriate means.

4. Responsibility – communications must take account of the job and responsibilities of different correspondents and avoid duplication of efforts and waste of time and resources.

5. Loyalty – communications must bear in mind the Company's values and mission in the pursuit of its interests and protection of its corporate image using a single company line.

The diagnosis also resulted in an in-house communication plan. The plan provides for the following actions:

• Open management – decentralised actions that reinforce the impor-tance given to people and provide opportunities for proximity and interaction with top management

• Nós, EMEF social spaces – meeting places for employees to share infor-mation

• Celebration of Company Day

• The Christmas party

Continuing its effort to restructure and consolidate the process of change started a few years back and in light of the results in indicators and other information in this report, the Board of Directors believes that EMEF complied with the established principles of good governance.

In the economic, financial, social and environmental areas, the indicators have generally exceeded expectations, which points to compliance with the principles of good governance, as the Company improved its competitiveness and quality without neglecting the principles of social responsibility, sustainable development and respect for the users of rail transport and for its customers.
