Dear Reader,

A hydroelectric project in Baños, Ecuador, and a support base for offshore operations in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, are respectively celebrating 18 months and three years of sustained operation without any lost-time accidents. A construction yard in São Roque do Paraguaçu, Bahia, is designed to improve the quality of life of workers and members of the local community.

Although they are being carried out in vastly different settings, all three projects share the same hallmark: the Group’s commitment to providing a high-quality working environment for Odebrecht teams. Workplace health and safety programs at the construction site in Baños and the Macaé base are protecting and valuing the individual, while outstanding facilities at São Roque do Paraguaçu provide comfortable living quarters for workers, as well as access to culture and recreation.

Underlying all of this is one of the Odebrecht Group’s fundamental aims: providing education, safety and well being for all its members. This encourages their self-development and creativity and enables them to achieve higher productivity and better results, which are key to keeping our clients satisfied.

Offering an educational, safe, healthy and hospitable working environment is the first step towards ensuring that Odebrecht members are motivated to do their best; ready, willing and able to render service for the benefit of their clients and the public good.
