6.2.2. Internal or External changes that may impact the Environmental ManagementProgram

During 2018, the following internal and external changes related to the Environmental Management System occurred:

On February 26, 2018, electronic billing enforced by law was implemented in CONTECAR, leaving the 2 terminals unified in thisprocess.It was implemented for some clients, sending the graphic representation of the invoices and their XML file, via email.The Colombian Authority of Environmental Licenses ANLA included two new fishing communities within the area of directinfluence, for this reason the files corresponding to the social component of the CONTECAR terminal were modified.By adjusting operation hours of equipment and maintenance plans has allowed the purchase spare parts using forecasts.

6.2.3. Information on the performance and effectiveness of the EnvironmentalManagement System

During 2018 in SPRC the objectives established in the Environmental Management System were maintained, in order. The performanceof the environmental indicators was as follows:

 PR-FMT200 Water use index SPRC6.2.3.1.

Formula: in m3 / TEUSWater consumption in operational areas

Mainly the consumption of fresh water increases due to the amount of pessenger onboard of the cruise ships docked at the terminal. Thecruise activity during the year 2018 maintained its growth trend. The number of passengers increased 10%, for a total of 447,942.

6.2.3.2. Accidents and operational incidents that affect the Environment

During 2017 there were no incidents or operational accidents that generated significant environmental impacts. However, in order to beprepared for any event, drills are carried out in the terminal according to the threats identified in the Emergency Plan.

In 2018, the drill was performed at Pier 3 of COMPAS (a neighbor terminal), where a spill in the bay was simulated and the action takenby the Mutual Aid Plan was evaluated. SPRC and CONTECAR were participating as a spill control brigade.

6.2.3.3. PR-FMT200 Ordinary waste generation index SPRC

The objective of this indicator is to measure the volume of ordinary waste generated by the activities of the terminal, in order toimplement actions to reduce it. The results for 2018 were as follows:

Formula: Amount of ordinary waste generated in m3

Due to civil works for port infrastructure, the wastes has increased, however in general terms it has remained at normal operatingconditions.

 PR-FMT200 Index of recovered waste SPRC6.2.3.4.

The objective is to measure the amount of waste recovered as a positive indicator of the correct handling of waste, in order to promoterecycling.

Formula: in m3Amount of waste recovered

Page 10: SPRC-SG-QAM004 PERS Report - SPRC

Dirección de Procesos. Copia no Controlada. Prohibida su reproducción.Solo para uso de la organización.

Page 10

 The indicator shows 81% fulfillment of the goal. The values vary within the normal range of operation and it is expected to improve thesegregation of waste to obtain better results in recycling.

 PR-FMT200 Index of hazardous waste generated SPRC6.2.3.5.

The objective of the indicator is to measure the volume of hazardous waste generated by the terminal  and compared with previous year.The results of the year 2018 were the following:

Formula: Amount of hazardous waste treated in m3

The indicator fits the goals established for 2018. This demonstrates the commitment of the terminal in treating the wastes properly.

. 6.2.3.6 Develop Social Programs to improve the quality of life of suppliers, workers and portcommunity

The terminal is exposed to deferent types of risk, such as financial risks, market risk, exchange rate fluctuation, interest rates variations,credit risk liquidity risk, natures risk and operational risk.

6.3.1. Operational and Technological Risk

The organization has a risk management system based on ISO 31000 that identifies, analyzes and establish reasonable treatmentmeasures for each risk in order to avoid its materialization or reduce its impact.

It is a systematic process that identifies the threats to the organization, establishes controls and designs the protections to such threats.Process by process, risks are identified and evaluated depending on their frequency and the economic impact, the impact to theenvironment, the safety for the personnel, the damage to property and possible deterioration of SPRC good will.

Additionally, an assessment of the impact of each risk on the continuity of port operations is made to determine business continuitystrategies.

The process is supported in software, which allows the follow-up the findings and corrective plans.

To communicate the results of risk management to all members of the organization, an indicator has been set up that is part of the wagecompensation, which provides benefits according to satisfactory performance on defined goals.

To establish hedges in insurance, SPRC analyze all probable maximum losses and estimations of loss values including those incurreddue to interruption of operations.
