About This Report
This is the third sustainability report pub-
lished by Hyundai Engineering. It includes
details of the company’s performance of
its economic, social, and environmen-
tal responsibilities. Hyundai Engineering
prepared this report by linking the key is-
sues in which its stakeholders are highly
interested to its strategies for promoting a
sustainability management system.

lished in June 2012) covers the company’s
performance for the two years from 1 Janu-
ary 2012 to 31 December 2013, although
some of the information includes data from
the first half of 2014. This report draws on

Core Values The heart of Hyundai Motor Group beats more powerfully when the company practices its intrinsic core values
with a pioneering mindset and passion.
Interview with the CEO & PresidentAround the time of publication of the Sustainability Report 2012-2013, the CEO & President
(CEO) of Hyundai Engineering sat down in the Hyundai Card Design Library for a talk with
the Head of Planning Office (HPO). Their wide-ranging discussion assessed Hyundai En-
gineering’s accomplishments to date in the area of corporate sustainability and explored
future directions in its sustainability initiatives. Below are some of the highlights.
Part1. Past Sustainability Accomplishments
CEO: This is our company’s third sustainability report, right?
HPO: Yes. We issued our first sustainability report back in 2010,
and followed it up with a biennial report in 2012. The third
and current issue covers our achievements in 2012 and
2013.
CEO: So it’s already been five years since we published our first
sustainability report. What would you say are the key re-
sults that have been achieved in this initiative?
HPO: We have implemented an integrated risk management
system as well as launching a compliance program. We’ve
also joined the UN Global Compact, an international cor-
porate sustainability initiative.
CEO : I see. I do hope for continuous interest in the ten prin-
ciples of the UN Global Compact among our staff and
unflagging efforts to comply with them.
Part2. Highlights of the Sustainability Report 2012-2013
HPO: What should be, in your mind, the focus in this issue of the
sustainability report?
CEO : I believe that enhanced communication with the vari-
ous stakeholders is the key to successful sustainability
practices. Therefore, to my mind, the report should be
centered on the kind of content that is relevant and of
interest to all of them.
HPO: I echo that sentiment, Mr. President. Precisely with this
concern in mind, the previous report was organized by type
of stakeholders. The 2012-2013 report, meanwhile, is orga-
nized by core factor for each stakeholder group. Also, to re-
flect the growing importance of safety & environment man-
agement, safety and environment management has been
added to the priorities making up our company’s vision
2020; namely, ethical management, value management,
talent management, win-win management, and sharing
management. Lastly, the report will contain a section on
the sustainability system and strategies, guiding all of the
above core sustainability factors and initiatives.
Part3. Future Directions in Sustainability
CEO: For sustainability to be actually practiced, building a solid
framework to guide related efforts and developing con-
crete strategies is indeed paramount. Now, what exactly
is the plan for implementing sustainability-related activi-
ties?
HPO: To take into consideration of the different values of vari-
ous stakeholders, we have developed core sustainability
factors for each stakeholder group, and selected strategic
tasks for those factors. These will be accompanied by in-
dicators and practical tasks to assist sustainability man-
agers in actually carrying out the core factors.
CEO: The way I see it, sustainability is not just the responsibil-
ity of a few managers, specifically placed in charge, but
the responsibility of all of us in the company. Every one
of us, even if unaware, is practicing sustainability as a
matter of routine through all the daily tasks we perform.
Volunteer activities, quality certification, technology de-
velopment and efforts to reduce or eliminate industrial
accidents for instance, are all linked to sustainability. The
public perception of Hyundai Engineering has improved
greatly since the merger, accordingly, steady efforts are
still required to develop the company into a prosocial
business in line with the new perception. I myself will
provide unwavering support so that Hyundai Engineering
can fully implement sustainable management according
to its management strategies.

Governance
Context
Progress
Deploying a sound and transparent governance system is essential to securing the trust of stakeholders
and enhancing their rights and benefits. Hyundai Engineering strives to make transparent and sound deci-
sions while enhancing its competitiveness through efficient governance operation.
Board composition and operation

Hyundai Engineering’s board of directors consists of three internal executive directors, including one rep-
resentative director, and two non-executive directors. The representative director serves as the chair of the
board. The directors may make decisions on overall management issues. They are elected by a majority of
affirmative votes of the shareholders present at a general shareholders meeting held with one quarter or
more of the total of issued shares represented.
Board operation
Hyundai Engineering enacted its Board Regulations to ensure efficient operation of the board. It does not
have any sub-committees authority that is delegated by the board. The regular board meetings are held
once each quarter, as a rule, whereas its extraordinary meetings may be held as and when required. The
board adopts its resolutions with majority affirmative votes of the directors present at a meeting repre-
sented by a majority of the directors. Directors who are absent may participate in board resolutions via a
video conference system.
Operation of audit system
Hyundai Engineering appoints one auditor who routinely audits the company’s accounting, financial infor-
mation, business status, and the status of the company’s business and property conditions. The auditor
may attend a board meeting to express his opinions. he may report to the board or the general share-
holders meeting when he believes that a director has committed or is feared to commit a violation of any
statutes or the company’s articles of incorporation. Further, the auditor may exercise the right to supervise
the directors’ performance and may also demand overall management-related information as required to
perform his/her duties.
Election of directors and auditors
Hyundai Engineering’s directors and auditors are elected by majority affirmative votes of the shareholders
who are present at a general shareholders meeting held with one quarter or more of the total number of
issued shares represented. The cumulative voting scheme provided under Article 382 of the Commercial
Act is not applied to elect two or more directors.
Evaluation and compensation of directors’ performance
The limit of the directors’ remuneration is determined by majority affirmative votes of the voting rights rep-
resented by the shareholders present at the general shareholders meeting held with one quarter or more of
the total number of issued shares represented. Their remuneration and retirement allowance are paid within
the set limit. The limit of the directors’ remuneration as determined at the 2013 general shareholders meeting
was KRW 4 billion. The actual paid amount is disclosed on the stock exchange digital disclosure system each
quarter.
Ownership structure
The total number of shares issued by Hyundai Engineering stood at 7,595,341 as of the end of June 2014.

Risk Management
Context
Progress
Businesses are exposed to diverse types of risk that are hard to anticipate while uncertainty increases day
after day in the realm of economic activities. HEC minimizes damages by systematically controlling poten-
tial risk factors that can occur through advance exploration, and endeavors to convert such risk factors
into opportunities for creating new values.
Risk management system
Hyundai Engineering effectively manages diverse risks, including macro environmental risks, intra-in-
dustry competition, technology diversification risks and internal risks, by preventive or preparatory risk
management through proactive risk sensing*, as a rule.
* Risk sensing: Ability to detect or understand risk factors
Risk management organization
Hyundai Engineering formed its CRO (Chief Risk Officer) organ, which is aligned with that of Hyundai Motor
Group, so that risk-related information can be systematically communicated and inclusively compiled to en-
able an immediate and effective response. Hyundai Engineering’s CRO organ consists of its CEO, the head of
Planning Office, and Business Planning Team leader. By appointing a core risk team to take responsibility for
actual sensing and managing essential risk factors, the company has set up a systematic management sys-
tem linking its working-level teams to the Hyundai Motor Group's top management. Management risks are
monitored and reported to the Group on a quarterly basis. The report was made on six occasions throughout
2013 and the first half of 2014.
Definition and management of key risks
Hyundai Engineering selected 10 key risks based on the impact and probability of, and vulnerability to, the diverse
risks surrounding its business installations, including macro environmental risks, industrial environment risks, and
strategic and operational risks. Key risks are controlled using Key Risk Indicators (KRI) for effective risk detection.
Their trend is steadily monitored against the permitted KRI level. Key risks are reviewed and renewed on a quarterly
basis or as and when required. Hyundai Engineering has secured organizational responsive competency to mini-
mize the damages arising from any potential risk by preparing measures to respond to or address risks.
Strengthening of risk management competency
Hyundai Engineering conducts diverse activities aimed at enhancing the
competency of its risk management teams to ‘sense’ or respond to risk
factors. To enhance the perception of risk management, the company con-
ducted 'risk management team seminars' for each KRI indicator in Septem-
ber 2013. In November 2013, Hyundai Engineering further consolidated the
foundation for active practice by holding a 'risk management workshop'
based on the details derived from the team seminar.
Financial risk management
Hyundai Engineering is exposed to diverse financial risks arising from its business activities, in-
cluding market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. Its risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability or uncertainty of the financial market, and concentrates on minimizing effects
that are potentially unfavorable to the company’s financial performance.

• Currency exchange risk management
It usually takes two or more years to receive or pay foreign currency because the company’s business
involves the execution of order-based projects. In this connection, cases occur where the receipt or pay-
ment timing of an ordinary transaction is unclear as the timing is subject to the project progress after the
award of the contract. Hyundai Engineering does its utmost to minimize its currency risk by matching the
receipt and payment currencies of a given project.
• Liquidity management
A business may go bankrupt if it fails to secure or maintain an optimum level of liquidity even though it
posts a net profit. Hyundai Engineering takes proactive measures to block any liquidity crisis in advance
by thoroughly controlling its liquidity ratio.
Project risk management
Hyundai Engineering has selected a number of risk items related to project site processes, such as construc-
tion, test & commissioning, project management, procurement, transport, and HSE. It reports each week by
item according to the action or alternative action manual when any risk arises.
Examples of project-based risk management
Risk items Actions or alternative actions
Site 1
Construction• Delay of advance or follow-up work due to
interoperation with an existing system• Enhanced advance preparation (materials purchase, supervisor assignment, etc.)
and thorough preparation of countermeasures

stevedoring plans, and witness by safety manager when heavy items are handled
Hyundai Engineering has been developing its risk management systems with the aim of securing effective
risk management through automation. Hyundai Engineering also expects that it will become easier to
compile or interpret risk-related information by operating risk management system in combination with
its financial information system.
Ethical Management
Context
Ethical management may positively affect a company’s reputation and its ability to attract customers or
acquire talents either directly or indirectly, whereas unethical acts that flout the basic rules or principles may
have a seriously adverse impact on society as well as the business. Led by ethical management based on
integrity, Hyundai Engineering is winning more trust from other companies.
Action guidelines and code of conduct for Ethics Charter
Hyundai Engineering developed detailed ten-point action guidelines in May 2014 to enable its employees
to properly respond to the types of ethical dilemmas they might encounter in the course of their work,
and to help them utilize information or counseling services in consultation with the ethical management
organization in cases where it may be difficult to make sound judgments by themselves.

Ethics education
Hyundai Engineering provides ethics education to all its employees to cultivate their ethical mindset and
to induce them to practice ethical behavior at work. Online access to ethics education is offered to induce
more employees to participate in the education even during duty hours. All the employees are enabled to
take mandatory ethics education by distributing education CDs produced by the company to employees
serving overseas. The company delivers the education contents to its employees more effectively by
conducting customized education courses concerning the company’s circumstances and characteristics
to overcome the existing online education, including special lectures by external professional instructors
and dissemination education hosted by team leaders to all team members.
Ethical management programs
Ethical management leadership
To firmly establish and perform ethical management, it is critical for the chief executive officer to con-
stantly express his or her determination to achieve that end. Hyundai Engineering’s CEO & President
urges all employees to practice ethical management by sending ethics promotion letters to them and
partners periodically. In April 2014, he shared his thoughts and experiences concerning ethical manage-
ment in his ‘CEO & President’s message on ethical management'. His interview video footage* is shared
with all of the company’s employees by broadcasting it on the internal television and displaying it on the
corporate bulletin board.
Cyber audit office
Hyundai Engineering conducts cyber audits of all its business units, in addition to site audits, as part of its drive to
establish transparent management company wide. To that end, the Cyber Audit Office has established standards
of ethical value judgment and transparent behavior, and displays its Ethics Charter, Code of Conduct and Action
Guidelines, so as to enable the company’s executives and employees to practice ethical management during the
performance of their duties. It also promotes these standards among its customers and business partners.
In particular, the Internet-based reporting center collects information concerning illegitimate or corrupt prac-
tices and unfair trading, as well as ideas that might prove helpful to corporate management from stakeholders
both in and outside the company, including its customers, partners, executives and employees, without filter-
ing, to improve the institutions and reflect the improvements in corporate management. It has also established
a transparent process for handling whistle blowers’ reports on illegitimate, corrupt or unfair practices and
discloses the results thereof.
Ethical management communication
Hyundai Engineering strives to generate a consensus among its employees on ethical management by
periodically providing them with ethics promotional materials and related information. As part of the
“Hyundai Engineering ethical management system and action plans”, the Ethical Management Series,
which has been published on a bi-monthly basis since June 2012, covers diverse information concerning
local and overseas cases and media articles related to ethical management, including those concerning
bribery, fair trading, and information security. Hyundai Engineering steadily reminds its employees of the
importance of ethical management by publishing Korean and English-language posters.
Hyundai Engineering plans to operate an ‘Ethical management diagnosis system’ with the aim of promoting
Hyundai Engineering-customized ethical management by surveying its management status. The diagnosis
system is being designed to diagnosis the performance status of different sections. The system will be com-
posed of a dual diagnosis system (self-diagnosis and stakeholder questionnaire) to enhance the objective-
ness and reliability of the outcome.

Materiality Assessment
Hyundai Engineering conducted a materiality assessment in order to survey diverse expectations or mat-
ters of interest raised by the internal and external stakeholders and to report the achievements by effec-
tively responding to sustainability issues.
In the course of the materiality assessment, the degree of interest in sustainability issues was assessed as
the key stakeholders of the company participated in a balanced manner. Hyundai Engineering determined
the priority of sustainability based on the materiality assessment criteria presented under the GRI G4
Guidelines, referring to the methods presented by ISO 26000 and the IIRC*. The priority was used as basis
for developing mid- and long-term sustainability strategies and objectives.
* IIRC : International Integrated Reporting Committee
STEP 1 Issue identification
Hyundai Engineering analyzed the internal and external environments in order to under-
stand its sustainability-related issues. To that end, it conducted an advance questionnaire
survey of random employees, an analysis of issues concerned in the same industry, an
analysis of media articles in the past three years, an in-depth interview of stakeholders,
and an ISO 26000 diagnosis.
As such trend issues as the securing talent, enhanced demand for safe products and services, business
transparency and fair trading emerged as priority issues, it has been affirmed that the sustainability issues
have been reflected in the priority issues that emerged recently.
The analysis of 20 impact issues based on GRI G4 aspects revealed that such issues as customer satisfaction,
compliance with laws, economic performance, labor practices and sustainable building construction and
development have emerged as key issues stressed to the stakeholders, meaning they are evenly distributed
across the entire categories of economy, society and environment.
Human resources, intellectual properties and social or relational capital were presented as core resource and
capabilities related to internal capability issues among the six capital items presented by the IIRC.
STEP 2 Priority determination
Hyundai Engineering conducted an online questionnaire survey of all its stakeholders in
order to determine the priority of 41 issues derived through the issue identification. It
organized the materiality assessment matrix placing the degree of stakeholder interest
and the impact on business based on the derived priority issues.

Special Issue
A new corporation founded through the merger between Hyundai Engineering and Hyundai Amco
STEP 3 Validation
The derived key sustainability issues have been reflected in this report in connection with the vision and
sustainability strategies of Hyundai Engineering. Furthermore, the reporting boundaries of the key issues
were established based on G4 aspects and the contents were organized based on the scope of reporting.
Hyundai Engineering and Hyundai Amco were merged into a new family on 1 April 2014. With the two companies
having different business structures and human resources, synergy was expected even before the merger. Hyundai
Engineering is strong in engineering and overseas markets, whereas Hyundai Amco has merits in construction and
domestic market.
The merger of the two companies fulfilled expectations, with the merged corporation ranked 10, jumping a remarkable 44
notches in the 2014 contractors’ ranking. It continues to live up to its potential by winning new contracts continuously in
overseas markets, including Algeria, Iraq, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. In particular, Hyundai Engineering is assessed to
have diversified its markets successfully by exploring the Central Asian Region, which had remained unexplored by Korean
plant engineering companies, veering away from previous markets that had been concentrated in Middle and Southeast Asia.
The orders won by the company in the first half of 2014 tripled to USD 3.7 billion compared to the previous year.
The merger between Hyundai Engineering and Hyundai Amco was promoted as part of a growth strategy for their construc-
tion business. Through strategic unity between Hyundai Engineering with its engineering competence and Hyundai Amco
equipped with construction competence, the merged company is now able to concentrate on global plant EPC (engineering,
procurement, and construction) services. In particular, it has deployed a systematic organizational model wherein it can re-
spond to changes in the market environment through the merger, including EPC services, development of planned or propos-
al-type projects, and development of investment projects. Hyundai Engineering can utilize this model for specific business
models for joint venture into domestic and overseas markets together with the construction unit or other member companies
of the Hyundai Motor Group. Hyundai Engineering plans to grow into one of the world’s top 15 engineering companies, with
the objective of winning KRW 1.6 trillion worth of orders and posting KRW 1.1 trillion in sales in 2020. Furthermore, it intends
to maintain growth in global EPC services while promoting them along with the plans of Hyundai Motor Group construction
unit member companies for their job specialization and upgraded business structure.

20 Steering on Values
Creation and distribution of economic values
Since merging with Hyundai Amco in 2014, Hyundai Engineering
has secured a synergy effect by harmonizing its engineering ca-
pabilities with the construction competency of Hyundai Amco,
while adding core capabilities for building and housing works
to its specialty in plant engineering.
Steady growth and earningsHyundai Engineering ranked among the top 10 in the 2014 as-
sessment of contractors construction competency for the first
time in its history, thanks to its merger with Hyundai Amco in
April 2014. This was an achievement in the 40 years since its
foundation, an example of synergy with Hyundai Amco. Hyun-
dai Engineering has accomplished rapid growth over the five
consecutive years since it achieved KRW 1 trillion in sales in
2009.
In 2013, it posted KRW 2,616.2 billion in sales, showing a 15%
increase over the preceding year. In the first half of 2014, right
after its merger with Hyundai Amco, Hyundai recorded KRW
2.18 trillion in sales. This was achieved based on the pioneer-
ing spirit and concerted efforts of its employees to diversify
into new business areas and advance incessantly into over-
seas markets.
Its ordinary and net profits are growing steadily along with
its sales. In particular, its net profit in 2013 increased to KRW
219.5 billion, accounting for 8.4% of its sales and exceeding
the 200 billion mark for the first time. It targets KRW 6.202 tril-
lion by year-end. Net profit for the first half of 2014 was KRW
128.6 billion or approximately 59% of the net profit for the
previous year. Hyundai Engineering has become a company
that maintains steady growth while striking a sound balance
between quantitative and qualitative growth.
Financial structureHyundai Engineering has succeeded in maintaining a stable
financial structure with steadily growing sales and profit. The
liquidity and debt ratio of 2013 both improved by 10% or so
compared to the previous year. In the first half of 2014, it re-
corded steadily increasing figures as its stability indicator fur-
ther improved as an effect of the merger with Hyundai Amco,
posting liquidity ratio of 172% and debt ratio of 99%. Further-
more, it has been recognized externally as having achieved
financial stability due to its A+ credit rating.
Context
Progress
Value Boosted : Value Management
“Compliance is a critical issue in advancing to newly emerging or developing markets.”
“I hope that Hyundai Engineering will develop into a powerful company by advancing into overseas markets through joint venture with large private and public enterprises.”
The engineering industry should swiftly respond to the trends, dynamic structure, and geographic
changes of the current global energy market, including the emergence of shale gas. I have nothing
but high praise for the pioneering example set by Hyundai Engineering by advancing to regions
outside the Middle East, which other Korean construction companies have not entered so far.
It is highly likely that foreign companies become embroiled in irregularities or corruption in emerging
or developing countries. Compliance is critical in those countries as foreign companies have been
hard pressed by local governments if they were involved in even one single case of corruption or
illegality. Furthermore, win-win growth with customers is important as the long-term business
value of Hyundai Engineering derives from its customers. It is essential to develop a long-term partnership by contributing
to the mid- and long-term development of the host country by transferring technologies in addition to making temporary
gains.
Chae, Sang Uk /Manager, Research Center, Hana Daetoo Securities
Korean engineering companies should advance into diverse overseas markets to become global
players as the local domestic market has reached a limit. To that end, it is important for them to
actively explore overseas markets by forming joint venture companies in order to take up projects
involving plant operation services as well as construction. Hyundai Engineering will become a
powerful company when it performs joint marketing programs with other large private or public
enterprises by maintaining its expertise and know-how in the relevant areas.
I also hope that Hyundai Engineering will grow into a global company that is highly respected
in overseas markets through joint global marketing by assigning skilled engineers overseas while
securing global talents by training superior human resources.

ating a customer satisfaction center that is designed to inte-
grate several customer satisfaction centers to one channel. It
also enhances customer satisfaction by steadily monitoring the
progress until the reason for the complaints have been fully
removed, by assigning a person in charge while surveying the
causes of customer complaints.
Customer satisfaction surveyHyundai Engineering measures the objective satisfaction of
its customers by commissioning an external survey agency
to conduct a customer satisfaction survey each year. Further-
more, it is committed to developing areas that require im-
provement based on the results of the survey.
Sangdo-dong Amco Town ● Hyundai Engineering’s Housing
Works Division surveyed customer satisfaction with Sangdo-dong
Amco Town in November 2013. A 1:1 face-to-face questionnaire
survey was conducted on 490 tenant households to collect their
complaints and suggestions. The town won 75 points in the evalu-
ation. Furthermore, it accommodates customers’ requests by
actively reflecting on its future design processes the complaints
raised by tenants due to design or construction defects among
requests for improvement, except simple discontent.
Project owner satisfaction survey ● Hyundai Engineering’s
Bulding Works Division conducts a biannual (once in the first
half, once in the second half) survey of Hyundai Motor Group's
project satisfaction, to enhance the company’s project man-
agement competencies by reflecting the suggestions or rec-
ommendations of the customers. In the latter half of 2013, a
questionnaire survey on sales, cost, process, quality, safety
and environment management was conducted on the custom-
ers of 40 project sites, and the key findings were analyzed and
reflected in the projects concerned.
Hyundai Engineering tries to think and act from the viewpoint of
its customers as a provider of sustainable values, sharing future
values with all stakeholders. In 2014, it plans to conduct a cus-
tomer satisfaction survey at one of the five Amco Town projects
currently under construction. In the latter half of 2014, Hyundai
Engineering plans to operate an integrated call center covering
the central, Yeongnam and Honam regions, and to conduct fur-
ther surveys of the Hyundai Motor Group project.

Quality management policiesHyundai Engineering operates a tiered quality management
system for project performance in order to create future values
for its customers. In addition, quality management activities
and programs are conducted by its engineering, procurement
and construction sectors, and by its individual business units,
in accordance with its key quality policies. In the case of nuclear
energy projects, it ensures that all its teams, employees adhere
to any additional quality assurance policies.
Quality management systemHyundai Engineering pursues systematically defined objectives
based on its quality policies, with the focus on quality planning,
management, assurance and improvement. Furthermore, it op-
erates the Project Quality Rating System for all the projects it car-
ries out, and provides the best quality services through periodic
quality audits and analyses, including its partners.
Quality management programsQuality management review ● Hyundai Engineering conducts an
annual review and assessment of its quality management system
to derive improvement solutions while ensuring the adequacy, suf-
ficiency and effectiveness of its quality management system. The
review and assessment of six divisions and seven support units and
offices are finally reviewed by the CEO & President in the form of an
inclusive report covering the outcome of the review of their perfor-
mance by individual project and unit.
Knowledge Management (KM) ● The Lessons Learned System op-
erated on the intranet is a type of feedback system that extensively col-
lects and systematically compiles errors and examples of improvement
identified in EPC projects. The Lessons Learned System was developed
to enable the easy identification of solution leads in the event of a prob-
lematic situation during the performance of a similar project. This is
essentially a knowledge management system that enables Hyundai En-
gineering’s employees to share information on errors that arise during
a project, their experiences, examples of improvement, and knowledge
held by individuals in order to promote efficient project management.Operation process of quality management system

Eco-friendly workplaces
Context
Progress
The discharge of pollutants has increased steadily along with
the growing use of raw materials due to the expansion of busi-
ness domains and the scale of our projects. Hyundai Engineer-
ing is committed to establishing eco-friendly project sites or
business premises equipped with stable management systems
that can minimize adverse impacts on its financial perfor-
mance and the eco-system.
eco-friendly workplacesAdherence to international standards ● In 2008, Hyundai En-
gineering obtained the ISO 14001 standards certification en-
acted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) for
eco-friendly management systems. It maintains eco-friendly
systems that satisfy the international standards through peri-
odic follow-up reviews and re-certification reviews.
eco-friendly operationEfficient use or saving of raw materials ● Hyundai Engineering’s
project sites involve the use of diverse materials including steel
bars, ready-mixed concrete, cement, sand and aggregates for the
construction of buildings and other structures. The company is
steadily adopting the use of alternative raw materials to ensure the
efficient use of resources, including alternative formworks and re-
cycled aggregates. In so doing, it aims to minimize environmental
damage and reduce the cost of raw materials.
Waste management or recycling ● Diverse waste materials are
inevitably generated by the process of disassembling outdated
equipment undertaken by a business that improves or repairs
used equipment. Hyundai Engineering thoroughly complies with
the environmental statutes of the relevant countries or regions
while safely discharging waste materials through special process-
ing or treatment, including those that may have adverse effects
on the environment, such as heavy metals and waste oil. At the
MONE site in Malaysia, all hazardous waste materials generated
at the site are securely stored in a sealed container by outsourc-
ing their handling to service providers that have been authorized
by the government or owner. Contamination of the surrounding
environment is minimized by their periodic removal from the site.
Hyundai Engineering strives to reduce waste materials at source
by recycling them. In 2013, it minimized the cost of handling
waste materials by sharing 63 tons of waste wood generated at
the HDO LBO site with the local residents. At the same time, it
spared the time to share its eco-friendly management programs
with the residents.
Preservation of the eco-system and assessment of environmental
impact ● Hyundai Engineering explores diverse approaches to
minimizing adverse effects on eco-systems and the environ-
ment by proactively assessing the impact that its projects may
have on the environment before starting them, including their
nature, characteristics, location and conditions. Hyundai Engi-
neering carries out comprehensive actions aimed at protecting
the eco-system and any plant and animal species (especially,
endangered species) that may be affected by issues related to
water and air quality, noise and vibration that may arise during
the execution of its projects, including the relocation of trees
and the provision of alternative habitats for animals. The envi-
ronmental impact is assessed, and the ex-post facto impact is
predicted, prior to the commencement of a given project.
Compliance with environmental statutes at home and abroad ●
Hyundai Engineering pays particularly close attention to protect-
ing the environments and ecosystems surrounding its project sites
and to maintaining their biological diversity. It thoroughly controls
and supervises the use of hazardous substances and the discharge
of pollutants at its project sites. Hyundai Engineering minimizes
complaints from local residents by installing appropriate preven-
tive facilities and using low-noise equipment or techniques, while
surveying locals’ demands at community meetings prior to proj-
ect commencement. During the period covered by the report, the
company violated the environmental regulation standards on a to-
tal of 11 occasions, including noise and waste disposal violations.
It plans to gradually decrease the number of violations which tend
to occur due to the nature of its construction projects.

Management of air pollutants ● Ozone Depleting Substances
(ODS) have a negligible impact on the environment although
small amounts are nonetheless discharged from test & commis-
sioning processes, refrigerants, or fire extinguishers. Because
of the nature of the business, dust is generated and dispersed
at some sites. Hyundai Engineering sprays water in areas where
there is a risk of dust being generated, using water tank lorries
twice a day, especially at project sites located in deserts like JPP
site of Process Plant Division. Roads are paved with priority in
areas where dust is expected. At most domestic sites, Hyundai
Engineering is trying to minimize pollutants by removing dirt
from vehicle tires using a wheel cleansing system at the entrance.

Water and wastewater management ● Hyundai Engineering uses
water in both its construction and test & commissioning process-
es. As such, waste water is legitimately treated according to the
standards applicable to the treatment of wastewater. To prevent
acidic wastewater contained in rainwater when chemical fuel used
by poly silicon production equipment is leaked at the JPP site of
Process Plant Division, the company charges limestone to neutral-
ize acid wastewater in the storage tanks used to collect rainwater.
It controls the pH of rainwater by installing a monitoring system.
Eco-friendly communication ● Hyundai Engineering implements
diverse eco-friendly communication programs in order to alert
personnel at project sites to environment-related issues and
to refresh their awareness of the importance of environmental
preservation. All the personnel of Hyundai Engineering and its
partners at the Jinju Pyeonggeo Amco Town site clean the sur-
rounding areas by picking up cigarette butts and other trash. The
Officetel construction project site in the Magok District was des-
ignated as a model construction site in 2013 by Gangseo District
Office in recognition of its distinguished efforts to preserve the
environment, including its outstanding attention to environmen-
tal preservation and the installation of facilities designed to pre-
vent the proliferation of dust.

Climate change response plan
Management of energy and greenhouse gas ● Hyundai Engineer-
ing uses key energy sources such as mogas, diesel and power in
the performance of its projects. The main sources of its green-
house gas emissions originate from the use of fossil fuels and
power for operating site equipment and power generators.
Hyundai Engineering’s project sites are gradually reducing their
emission of greenhouse gases during the operation or construc-
tion stages by applying technologies for reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, such as heat recovery systems, while saving en-
ergy. Hyundai Engineering’s office buildings conduct continuous
campaigns aimed at reducing electricity consumption, as they
rely most heavily on electricity among all the types of energy
consumed.

※ Includes data of 33 sites of 5 divisions, based on greenhouse gas emission volumes measured by Korea Energy Management Corporation
Hyundai Engineering plans to steadily control the sources
and volumes of its greenhouse gas emissions by deploying a
greenhouse gas inventory system in 2015. The company also
intends to deploy an corporate greenhouse gas inventory sys-
tem, including all of its home offices, research institutes, and
domestic and overseas project sites. It plans to systematically
control energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
by introducing an energy management system that satisfies
international standards including ISO 50001.
Next Step
At JPP site of Process Plant Division, Hyundai Engineering minimizes
its greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing energy efficiency by
producing steam without operating any additional equipment, as such
sites employ heat recovery systems that generate steam using the waste
heat left over from the reactive processes of poly silicon production.
Poly silicon production processes employ Chemical Vapor Deposition
(CVD) reactors whose internal temperature rises up to 1,100 degrees
Celsius. To recover the waste heat while preventing the reactors from
overheating, cold water is circulated through their external jackets. The
high-temperature and high-pressure water thus recovered is turned
into steam and supplied to steam-powered equipment within the poly
silicon factory. The condensed water after using the steam is stored in
condensate drums for re-supply to the reactors to recover their waste
heat.
The waste heat recovery system used for CVD reactors reduces the cost
of generating additional steam. It is an eco-friendly technology that
minimizes greenhouse gas emissions by replacing steam boilers.

Eco-friendly projects
Context
Progress
Diverse environmental issues have emerged due to industrializa-
tion, including an imbalance in the eco-system, contamination of
land, air and water, and climate change. Hyundai Engineering im-
plements programs aimed at enhancing the efficiency of resources
while mitigating environmental hazards with through the develop-
ment of eco-friendly engineering technologies
Eco-friendly technologiesHSC (Hybrid Smart Cement) techniques ● HSC is smart cement com-
posed of three materials that is produced by mixing Portland cement
with fine furnace slag power, a by-product of steel mills and fly ash,
a by-product of coal-burning power plants. HSC is environmentally
friendly as it discharges 50% less carbon dioxide and 35% less hexava-
lent chrome than existing mass concrete. It also offers high stability as
quality disparity is minimized among concrete mixers as it is premixed.
Further, it is extremely durable as it is highly resistant against sulfuric
acid and salt. Hyundai Engineering applied the HSC technique to the
Gumi Officetel project site and eight other sites in the period covered
by the current report. The HSC technique has also been applied to
the project sites of other construction companies (e.g. the Gunsan
Saemangeum express rail project between Suseo-Pyeongtaek, the
Gimpo Pungmu Apartment House, and nine other sites.)
Intelligent integrated management system of water supply fa-
cilities ● Hyundai Engineering has acquired a patent for the
technology of deploying the H-ECO Integrated Water Sup-
ply System, an intelligent integrated management system of
water supply facilities, in order to enhance its future growth
engine projects while securing a safe potable water supply in
developing countries. This technology has been optimized for
the operation of water purification plants in developing coun-
tries where such issues as unstable potable water supply and a
shortage of hygiene equipment sanitation facilities are preva-
lent. The system is commercialized based on on-site verifica-
tion - Polonaruwa water treatment plant project in Sri Lanka
- and secured conformation of its performance.
Modular Construction ● Hyundai Engineering has secured the in-
tellectual property rights for its modular construction technology
by performing diverse internal projects in addition to government-
sponsored projects for modular building construction. It aims to
explore overseas markets by developing independent technolo-
gies and products. Hyundai Engineering has accumulated the
related skills and technologies for engineering, procurement and
construction by building and assessing the performance of pilot
modular homes. It has also completed assessments of their liv-
ing performance, including insulation, heating and sound perfor-
mances.
HyVic (Hyundai Vibration control) damper ● Registered by Hyun-
dai Engineering as a Construction New Technology (No. 653),
the HyVic damper is a hybrid anti-seismic damper technology
that can control a building’s swing motion caused by earth-
quake or strong winds. The HyVic damper is a purely domestic
technology developed in consideration of seismic and con-
struction project conditions in Korea. As it does not need to
be applied to walls or pillars, it offers an outstanding degree of
design freedom and spatial utilization. It also delivers easy per-
formance control by allowing a simple adjustment of the layer
of high damping rubber, and ease of application to connecting
beams where large displacement may occur.
for refinement and purity control. Hyundai Engineering is currently
test operating a 3,000 tons/year capacity poly silicon factory, the
contract for which was awarded by PTC (Polysilicon Technology
Company), Saudi Arabia in 2011. It is Saudi Arabia’s first poly silicon
factory construction project.
Projects for the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater
● The objective of soil remediation is to preserve a soil ecosystem,

Sustainable Projects
residential-commercial building project site, Sangbong, South Korea
■ Geothermal energy system
The planet Earth’s geothermal energy offers limitless potential
depending on the depth of drilling. Hyundai Engineering designed
a geothermal energy system of approximately 250RT for its Sang-
bong residential-commercial complex to supply sufficient heat for
the heating and cooling for its common residential facilities, sales
facilities, and office spaces. It enhanced the convenience in ex-
tending the capacity, construction and maintenance by adopting
a vertical sealed geothermal heat exchange system.
■ Solar energy system
Solar energy, as the most noted energy source among all new
or recycled energy sources, is attracting heavy investment for
research and development of the related technologies. Hyundai
Engineering installed a 113KW solar power generation facility at
the Sangbong commercial-residential complex site, as well as
solar energy panels of 140㎡ for use as an ancillary heat source to
supply warm water to a swimming pool. Hyundai Engineering’s
Housing Works Division strives to enhance tenants’ satisfaction
by supplying eco-friendly energy to reduce their utility costs,
while actively responding to the government’s policy of supply-
ing more new and recycled energy and preventing power short-
ages, by actively applying solar energy systems.
■ First new and recycled energy project
Hyundai Engineering, having entered the East European mar-
ket for the first time by winning a project to construct a 9MW
solar power plant in Bulgaria in 2011, successfully completed its
first new and recycled energy project in June 2012. The project,
which was carried out at two different sites in Palauzovo and
Cherveniakovo, Bulgaria, has an annual power generation ca-
pacity of 1,170kWh, which is sufficient to meet the daily power
requirement of 3,780 households, and will have the effect of
reducing CO2 gas emissions by 7,560 tons per year. More than
anything else, it is highly significant as it has provided a bridge-
head for Hyundai Engineering to advance into the European
market for new and recycled energy systems.
■ Only Korean company with geothermal project experience
Hyundai Engineering, as the only Korean company with experience
in the construction of geothermal power plants, became Korea’s
first company to construct a geothermal power plant in Africa af-
ter winning a contract from Kenya Electricity Generating Company
(KENGEN) for the construction of the geothermal power generation
units 1 and 4. This USD 370 million project consisted in constructing
geothermal power plants with a total capacity of 280MW which will
make it the world’s largest geothermal power plant project under
one process. Scheduled for completion in the latter half of 2014, the
new plants will increase Kenya’s power supply by about 20%. Above
all, it is a highly significant achievement in that the technological
prowess of a Korean company has been recognized in the geother-
mal power plant market, which has so far been dominated by Japan,
the USA and various European countries.

Gas desulfurization facility, Turkmenistan
■ Largest government project in Turkmenistan
A gas desulfurization facility removes sulfur oxides - the main
cause of air pollution - from fuel gas. The gas desulfurization
project in Turkmenistan is worth KRW 10 trillion, making it the
country’s largest government project ordered by a government-
owned gas corporation. As Hyundai Engineering completed this
project, awarded in 2009, successfully in September 2013, there-
by demonstrating the company’s advanced engineering capabili-
ties and winning two further projects.
■ Exploration of a new silk road in Central Asia
This project is highly significant as it is the first time a Korean com-
pany has been awarded a government project by a CIS member
state. Hyundai Engineering finally held the completion ceremony
in September 2013 after successfully completing the construction
work in approximately 800 days, having transported 560 tons of
heavy equipment to the project site some 20,000km from Korea
by sea and land. Hyundai Engineering’s successful completion of
the project may be said to be a historic landmark in the exploration
of a new silk road in the Central Asian plant market, recalling the
frontier spirit of the ancient caravans.

Talent development
Context
Progress
Hyundai Engineering’s educational roadmap starts with sup-
port for the development of a corporate culture of innovation
and challenge by fostering talents who can create new values
with technologies. Hyundai Engineering implements a sys-
tematic HR management system based on the ‘H-type ideal of
talent’ and diverse development strategies in accordance with
the principle of respect for human resources.
Hyundai Engineering talent Hyundai Engineering pursues H-type talents equipped with
speciality, diverse knowledge, sensibility, empathy, pride,
challenge spirit and global mind. All its employees personally
strive to become passionate H-type talents who can achieve
great things by acquiring expertise and pride based on their
global capabilities.
Current status of employeesThe number of Hyundai Engineering employees increased
by 60% to 5,170 persons over the preceding year due to the
merger with Hyundai Amco in April 2014. There are 508 female
employees, representing 9.8% of the workforce. Permanent
employees account for 65.8% of the workforce, while those
assigned overseas account for 20%. Furthermore, the pay
of newly hired employees is 247% of the statutory minimum
wage for 2014.
“Securing superior talents and creating a happy workplace should be our
top priority.”
The engineering industry differs from other industries mainly because people
rather than machines create the products. As engineering, procurement, and
construction are all performed by people, securing superior people and creating
a happy workplace should be the top priorities. A system that can resolve the
complaints of employees has not yet been completed, although some programs
go to considerable lengths to create ‘happy workplaces’. Hyundai Engineering
should show the determination to improve such issues from now on.
In addition, Hyundai Engineering should make concerted efforts to enhance the efficiency of human
resource management by training and assigning the right core personnel to the right jobs through
diverse education and training programs. When such efforts are made on a steady basis, Hyundai
Engineering will become a leading global EPC company by catching up with leading foreign companies
as well as leading other Korean ones in the area of hiring, payroll, and welfare.

Strategies for and processes of talent developmentHyundai Engineering’s talents constitute a professional body
that creates new values and develops a corporate culture of in-
novation and challenge. Based on a talent development policy
that views people as the company itself, Hyundai Engineering
concentrates its resources on talent development by training
job specialists, strengthening international capabilities, and
providing individually-customized education.
Development of experts and specialistsSpecialized job education ● Hyundai Engineering runs EPM edu-
cation courses designed to train and transform its employees into
specialists qualified to perform overseas EPC projects, as the num-
ber of projects is increasing each year. The training courses, which
consist of such key subjects as project cost, hours, risk and quality
management, are provided by internal and external instructors who
are experts in those fields, with the aim of turning out the employ-
ees as engineering and project managers.
Education of international employees ● As of 2013, Hyundai En-
gineering had recruited 80 international employees from diverse
countries including Vietnam, India, the Philippines and Russia.
Hyundai Engineering runs a wide range of programs to enable its
foreign national employees to demonstrate their skills by adapting
to Korean culture and company life and to be reborn as core talents.
The education programs are designed to instill them with a sense of
belonging, enhance their understanding of company affiliates and
equip them with experience of Korean culture, as well as offering
career development and counseling.
Strengthening global capabilitiesOverseas training ● Hyundai Engineering’s employees are given
overseas training opportunities to allow them to personally ex-
perience the world-top class operations of advanced engineering
companies and to apply their newly acquired knowledge to their
functions or duties. Such overseas training courses have been or-
ganized in Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and the USA, and have
covered business management and the business areas of process
plant and power & energy plant.
Internal language courses ● The Hyundai Engineering Language
Institute (HLI) runs Hyundai Engineering’s internal language pro-
gram to help employees strengthen international communication
skills. The program consists of a ‘self-initiated learning’ course and
a ‘company-initiated learning’ course: the former may be taken by
any employee while the latter is offered to employees who are be-
ing reassigned overseas or who perform duties related to foreign
projects.
Graded educationEducation of new recruits ● The development of talents is more
important than their initial selection. Hyundai Engineering’s new
recruits take such courses as introduction to Hyundai Motor Group,
job skills and collective camp education upon employment, followed
by practical education and on-the-job training provided by each di-
vision upon assignment to their respective teams. In addition, they
receive mentoring from their superiors to help them adapt to the
organization and increase their basic job knowledge and skills.
Education of experienced employees ● Even outstandingly
talented people experience difficulties in demonstrating their
skills in an entirely strange environment. Hyundai Engineer-
ing provides customized education to newly hired but experi-
enced employees to enable them to swiftly adapt to the new
corporate culture. New experienced recruits follow courses
on personnel management, welfare and benefits, vision and
business status, and core values, and attend special lectures
delivered by company executives. In particular, the ‘workshop
for experienced employees’ is said to enhance peer communi-
cation, teamwork, and their sense of belonging.

Labor-management councilHyundai Engineering operates a labor-management coun-
cil where all employees belong-except the division head or
higher officers-to protect the rights and benefits of employ-
ees while pursuing the sound development of the company.
The council, which consists of an equal number of representa-
tives from labor and management, discusses matters related
to enhancement of productivity, distribution of earnings, hu-
man resources, and labor and welfare issues at both quarterly
regular meetings and ad hoc meetings. The council gathers
information concerning grievances, recommendations and is-
sues that may affect the employees, in addition to wage nego-
tiation, distribution of achievements, and welfare or benefits.
Compiled opinions are fine-tuned at ad hoc informal meetings
and finalized at regular or ad hoc meetings where both labor
and management are equally represented, before delivered to
the employees. In particular, business disruptions are mini-
mized by informing the employees of important matters con-
cerning management changes or reshuffles at least 30 days
in advance.
Grievances CommitteeThe grievances committee helps the employees to devote
themselves to their work by providing solutions or appropriate
alternatives to employee grievances by analyzing their causes.
Employees could raise objections to irrational systems or
practices by regular/irregular, online/offline communication
system which the management fails to notice in advance, while
the management may induce enhanced unity and productivity
by adequately responding to their discontent.
Home to alleviate employees' childcare burden and allow them
to concentrate on their work. The Hyundai Dasom Children’s
Home is equipped with safe and pleasant facilities, and is run
by the Hansol Education Hope Foundation, a specialist nurs-
ing agency.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Engineering has introduced spousal ma-
ternity leave, encouraging its employees to use the childcare
and childbirth leave. As of April 2014, total 21 women employ-
ees were on childcare leave without experiencing any disad-
vantages in terms of employment, pay or promotion.

Hyundai Engineering’s labor and management have developed
a new future-oriented labor-management culture by forward-
looking mind, practices, and institutions with autonomy and a
sense of responsibility while respecting each other and main-
taining progressive relations based on a cooperative spirit of
win-win survival. The two parties will make further efforts
to establish a workplace where all employees are satisfied, a
workplace where work and life are harmoniously balanced, and
a workplace where communication and dialog is a top priority,
by steadily improving labor-management relations with the
introduction of improved systems for personnel management,
benefits packages, and grievances settlement.

Win-win Growth
Context
Progress
Hyundai Engineering has experienced remarkable growth
due to steady collaboration with its partners over the past 40
years. One of the win-win growth index companies in 2012,
Hyundai Engineering seeks to be reborn into a leading com-
pany in the course of national economic growth through win-
win growth with its partners.
Introduction and operation of four major guide-lines for fair tradingThe four major guidelines for fair training published by the Fair
Trade Commission are designed to prevent large enterprises
from impeding the principle of free contracting by abusing their
superior negotiating power in deals with small businesses,
while enabling small businesses with insufficient negotiating
power to legitimately reflect their profits in contracts with large
enterprises. Hyundai Engineering implements these guidelines
and displays them on its partner portal site.
Fair selection and assessment of partnersHyundai Engineering selects its partners transparently in accor-
dance with the fair systems and policies Hyundai Engineering
has established for that purpose. It expands open bidding while
ensuring an adequate profit margin for its partners. Further-
more, it lowered the entry barrier to new superior partners. It
also supplemented its previous assessment criteria of partners
based on personnel and sales to include average number of
years of experience and continuous service of their employees.
It has complemented its assessment system by introducing a
system for grouping* partners by work category based on their
technological competency and fairness. In so doing, smaller
partners are now able to compete on a fair basis.
* Partners are grouped into the categories of A (Excellent), B (General) and C (Re-
serve) based on their functional performance, personnel and financial status.
Win-win growth programPerformance sharing system ● Hyundai Engineering induces real
growth in its partners by introducing programs for sharing per-
formance bonuses with them, which in turn enhances the quality
of Hyundai Engineering’s projects.Hyundai Engineering has oper-
ated a performance sharing scheme wherein it shares research
and development expenses and industrial property rights after
completion of the tasks with its partners, including two joint R&D
projects it implemented with two partners for modular building
and rust-proof concrete. It also plans to conclude contracts con-
tinuously for performance sharing with existing or new R&D tasks.
Win-win Council ● Hyundai Engineering strives to shift to a hor-
izontal relationship by holding win-win consultative meetings
with partners each week. As a mutually participated conference
body that includes the owner, general contractor, and subcon-
tractors, the win-win consultative body is designed to resolve
site problems speedily through horizontal communication.
Hyundai Engineering started the system for domestic gov-
ernment project sites on a trial basis in 2013, and then has
expanded the system to other project sites. Thanks to such
efforts, Hyundai Engineering garnered the best grade (98 out
of 100 points) in the 'Assessment of Win-Win Cooperation
among Construction Companies'.
Winning Out as One : Win-win Management
“Hyundai Engineering should develop a strategic partnership by helping
enhance the competitiveness of its partners by bidding adequate prices.”
Today’s global competition has brought about a switch to the format of competition
between business networks or industrial ecosystems. The adoption of a win-win
growth strategy has become a critical factor in business competitiveness.
You should conduct much preparatory research before bidding for global projects
as the conditions are very different from those in Korea. The lowest price bid
cannot properly evaluate businesses as it merely compares bid prices even
though you compute the cost inclusive of taxation and environmental factors
based on a site survey. You may face greater risks as the bidder may go bankrupt or the project may
be delayed by a low price bid. Hyundai Engineering will become a company that enjoys higher trust
if we develop a strategic partnership with our partners in order to enhance their competitiveness by
competition based on an adequate price bid.

Enhanced communication with partners ● Hyundai Engineer-
ing organized the Hyundai Engineering Partner Council, a con-
sultative body comprising its win-win cooperation task force
and representatives of its partners, firm in the belief that its
partners’ competitiveness is the backbone of its own com-
petitiveness. The win-win cooperation task force, which is
composed of three sub-divisions for sustainable growth, win-
win growth, and global competitiveness, concentrates on en-
hancing the management stability, growth, and international
competitiveness of its partners. The Council operates with the
focus on systematic cooperation among its three subcommit-
tees - engineering, procurement, and construction.
Improvement of subcontracting payment terms ● Hyundai En-
gineering pays 100% of KRW 100 million or less in cash to help
stabilize partners’ cash flow. It also has improved its payment
terms in various ways, including reducing the payment term
from the previous 15 days to 13.5 days on the average.
Fund raising and support ● Hyundai Engineering raised a total
of KRW 21 million in win-win cooperation funds and loaned
KRW 16 million in 2013. Moreover, it pursued substantial win-
win growth by providing KRW 400 million worth of interest-
free loans to partners that experienced temporary financial
difficulties.
Support for education ● Hyundai Engineering provides oppor-
tunities for partners to receive the job-related education they
request. In 2013, a total of 447 employees of its partners com-
pleted job-related curricula at government-accredited educa-
tion institutes free of charge (tuition paid by HEC).
In order to employ the standard subcontract forms that re-
flect the 2014 recommendations of the Fair Trade Commission,
Hyundai Engineering plans to modify its existing contracts
and riders following an extensive review, so that riders that
are disadvantageous to its partners are no longer applied to
new contracts. Hyundai Engineering also plans to monitor its
partners in order to prevent any unacceptable issues related
to human rights or work conditions. Furthermore, it plans to
shorten the payment term to partners from 13.5 to 13 days. It
will also raise up to KRW 38 billion worth of win-win coopera-
tion funds by adding KRW 17 billion. In addition, it intends to
exert efforts steadily to promote win-win growth with its part-
ners by providing an additional KRW 1.5 billion in low-interest
rate loans.
Next Step Hyundai Engineering plans to expand its CP efforts in order
to establish a fair and clean trade order. To that end, it has
continuously disclosed its operational status in its business
reports and PR booklets. It also plans to conduct CP educa-
tion aimed at enhancing its executives and employees’ un-
derstanding of fair trade, and to reflect improvements and le-
gal amendments of 2013 by steadily improving the checklists
through continued monitoring.

Fair competitionContext
Progress
Because of the recent switch in the public perception of fair
competition, the burden of tangible and intangible costs has
increased, including financial burdens, such as the penalties
and liquidated damages imposed on violations, legal fees, and
damages to a company’s social image. The issue of minimizing
legal sanctions for violations of the Fair Trade Act has emerged
as the most important issue of the engineering industry. Thus,
Hyundai Engineering has steadily implemented its Compliance
Program (CP), a program of voluntary compliance with the fair
trade rules it introduced in June 2011.
Compliance Program (CP - program for voluntary compliance with fair trade rules)Hyundai Engineering strives to enhance its executives
and employees’ perception of fair competition in order
to minimize damages caused by violations of the law
while enhancing its corporate image with transparent
and ethical management under its recently introduced
Compliance Program.
Current status of CP operationHyundai Engineering has laid a solid foundation for
its executives and employees to recognize the impor-
tance of voluntary compliance with the fair trade rules
by displaying the sworn statement and declaration that
clarify them. In addition, Hyundai Engineering discloses
the operational status of its Compliance Program to its
external stakeholders by including it in its business re-
ports, and has conducted on- and offline education for
executives and employees on the program. Further, it
has distributed revised CP manual and detailed guide-
lines in order to encourage voluntary compliance with
the statutes related to fair trade. It has sent to its part-
ners a letter stating the importance of fair trade and
win-win growth and its determination to achieve them.
It has also enhanced the job-related knowledge and
responsiveness of the organizations by requiring em-
ployees responsible for CP implementation to attend
external education courses.
Hyundai Engineering, albeit, was responsible for two
illegal actions for unfair subcontract transaction and
improper cartel during the period, will continue to do
its best in preventing a recurrence and establishing fair
trade order.

Social contribution toward local communities
Hyundai Engineering has continued carrying out diverse so-
cial contribution activities both at home and abroad under the
sustainability management system, as if it were nurturing life
in a deserted land by constructing plants. Hyundai Engineer-
ing is committed to rebirth as a sustainable business that can
create values for its stakeholders and local communities with
sincere social contribution activities linked with its core ca-
pabilities.
Stepping-stone house project ●
The ‘stepping-stone house’ proj-
ect, one of Hyundai Engineering’s
representative social contribution
programs, is designed to help people living in vulnerable housing con-
ditions. It consists of self-help support programs, including the foun-
dation of a joint workplace to assist the self-help ventures of poverty-
stricken residents in the Namdaemun Flophouse Village; programs
for improving housing conditions, the lease of building spaces after
remodeling; a facility improvement program to support the repair and
remodeling of their counseling center and other convenience facilities;
and programs to encourage self-reliance through culture lectures. The
stepping stone house project is implemented jointly with the Seoul
Metropolitan Government. A total of KRW one billion will be invested
from October 2013 to end of 2015.
New Hope School ● Hyundai Engineer-
ing founded the ‘New Hope School’ in
Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2011 in order
to instill hope in children whose families
could not afford proper schooling for them. The school consists of
three international-class buildings and one common toilet building.
The children are provided with classes and meals every day. Since
2012 Hyundai Engineering employees have supported 80 children
with more stable education under 1:1 mentoring relationships. In ad-
dition, Hyundai Engineering plans to assist the extension and repair
of a school and support the livelihood of local residents in three vil-
lages, Bangladesh in the second half of 2014.

A Favor Returned : Sharing Management
“We should approach our social contribution programs from a long-term
perspective, coupled with plans for a long-term return to the community.”
Since last year, Hyundai Engineering has provided financial support for the
renovation of flophouses near Namdaemun. It recently contributed to the
settlement of problems related to poverty-stricken people living in vulnerable
housing conditions, which are largely attributable to urbanization and
bipolarization, by assisting their efforts under a self-help venture florist service
called ‘Flower Bloom’.
You should approach your social contribution programs with a long-term view.
A short-term or one-off project is unlikely to be of any real significance. I hope that you will provide
social contribution programs based on a long-term plan for return to the community. I am sure that
a long-term, planned performance coupled with a far-reaching vision will lead to great achievements
even when backed with only a small financial contribution.

Key programs
Habitat for Humanity ● Habitat, a non-governmental organization
established in the USA, aims to realize ‘a world with decent housing
for everyone’ by building ‘houses of hope’. Hyundai Engineering has
participated in Habitat Love Home Building together with Habitat Korea
in Hwaseong, Yangpyeong, and Chuncheon since 2009. In April 2014,
more than forty persons, including its social contribution TF members
and Stepping-stone volunteer workers, participated in Habitat activities
in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do after the foundation of the newly merged
corporation. Hyundai Engineering employees supported each other
while working in scorching summer weather, and donated a remark-
able KRW 20 million after completing their volunteer service activities.
Scholarship aid provided to children and youth defectors from North
Korea ● Children and youth defectors from North Korea face signifi-
cant difficulties in adapting to South Korean society and its culture
and life style, as well as the suffering and pain they experience dur-
ing the defection process. Hyundai Engineering supports their mental
healing, physical recovery and resettlement in South Korea by provid-
ing scholarships to Yeomyung School, an alternative school for them.
Hyundai Engineering will continue striving to ensure they settle suc-
cessfully in South Korean society while providing them with effective
opportunities for learning.
Hope Cultivation Center ● A society in which everyone enjoys happi-
ness without discrimination is the very ideal that Hyundai Engineering
seeks to realize. Hyundai Engineering founded the Hope Cultivation
Center, a business-linked vocational rehabilitation facility that produces
components for domestic appliances, while providing job skill training
in cooperation with Yangcheon-gu municipal office, back in 2007. The
Hope Cultivation Center functions as an incubator for physically-dis-
abled people in search of employment, by providing vocational training
with production equipment that is easy for them to operate. Hyundai
Engineering plans to implement diverse activities so that over 40 dis-
abled people attending the Hope Cultivation Center can work more
comfortably, including the deployment of automated equipment and
support for development of appropriate product designs. In 2014, the
company plans to relocate the workshop to a larger facility.
Emergency famine aid in Kenya ● In February 2014, Hyundai Engi-
neering’s Power & Energy Plant Division delivered items of emer-
gency aid to an elementary school in Baringo near the site of Olkaria
geothermal power plant units 1 and 4, a project which the division has
been executing. The event was attended by the director of Kenya’s
education administration agency as well as the school’s principal and
students. Hyundai Engineering delivered 16.2 tons of corn, which is
equivalent to one’s month lunch for 4,000 pupils of eight elementary
schools, including Salabani Elementary School.
Community Programs
Hyundai Engineering plans to conduct leading and major social
contribution activities and programs focusing on sincerity, con-
tinuity and public benefit with a view to developing them into
‘Value-Sharing social contribution’ programs, representing the
mid- and long-term objectives of the corporate social contribu-
tion programs since the merger of the corporation.
Hyundai Engineering believes that the mission of a world-class
engineering enterprise is to transform the world into a more
beautiful place by sharing love while enhancing human conve-
nience by developing innovative technologies. Firm in this con-
viction, Hyundai Engineering plans to resolve diverse community
problems by gaining a true understanding of the regions in which
it operates. In particular, as a knowledge-oriented business, it
will actively support activities for young people who will be re-
sponsible for the future of the nation. Hyundai Engineering will
steadily implement projects for providing good education condi-
tions as well as infrastructure of all countries it enters. In addi-
tion, Hyundai Engineering will enhance its reliability as a happy
energy contributor by working together with its neighbors amid
an atmosphere of joyful cooperation.

60 Hyundai Engineering Sustainability Report 61
The 3rd Party Assurance Statement
Dear Hyundai Engineering Management and Stakeholders,
■ Introduction The Korean Standards Association (“KSA”) was commissioned by Hyundai Engineering to perform a third-party Assurance Engagement of
the 2012~2013 Hyundai Engineering Sustainability Report (the “Report”). The KSA presents the following independent opinions based on its
assessment of the feasibility of the data contained in this Report. Hyundai Engineering has sole responsibility for the contents and performance
reviewed in this Report.
■ IndependenceAs an independent assurance agency, the KSA does not have any kind of commercial interest in the businesses of Hyundai Engineering other
than its responsibility for undertaking third-party assurance of the Report. We have no other contract with Hyundai Engineering that may
undermine our credibility and integrity as an independent assurance agency.
■ Assurance Standards and LevelThis Assurance Engagement follows the AA1000AS (2008) assurance standards to provide Moderate Level assurance. We have checked the
three principles of ‘Inclusivity’, ‘Materiality’, and ‘Responsiveness’ in combination with the information credibility of the Report. We have also
verified whether the content of the Report was created in accordance with the GRI G4 Guidelines and ISO 26000.
■ Assurance Type and Scope We have performed a Type 2 Assurance Engagement in accordance with AA1000AS. This means that we have verified the accuracy and quality
of the statements made by Hyundai Engineering and the sustainability performance data included in this Report. This Assurance Engagement
covers data from the calendar year 2012 to year 2013. Information from the first half of 2014 has also been included, depending on the content.
The scope of this Assurance Engagement primarily covers the systems and initiatives undertaken by Hyundai Engineering, including its
sustainability management policies, goals, business, standards and performance during the reporting period defined in the Report. While the
company’s environmental and social data, as well as its financial data, have been verified, the scope of the review concerning stakeholder
engagement is limited to the materiality test process.
■ Assurance Methods The KSA, as the assurance agency, collected information, data or evidential materials within the specified scope of assurance, using the
following methods:
•Analysis of articles related to Hyundai Engineering’s sustainability management published by domestic media outlets over the last three years
•Analysis of issues reported in the sustainability reports published by domestic and overseas industry peers
•Visits to Hyundai Engineering headquarters/Interviews with employees in charge of sustainability management and managers of respective issues
•Verification of the management system and process to improve achievement in sustainability management and to prepare the Report
•�Examination as to whether the financial result-related data are in accord with the audit report and public disclosure materials concerning the
2013 financial statements of both Hyundai Engineering and Hyundai AMCO in the pre-merger period
•Examination of internal documents and other basic materials
■ Assurance Results and Opinions [On the assurance principle/process level]The KSA has reviewed the draft version of this Report in order to present our opinions as an assurance provider. Modifications were made to
the content of the Report when deemed necessary. We have not detected any significant errors or inappropriate descriptions in this Report as
a result of our Assurance Engagement. As such, we present our opinion of the report as follows.
Inclusivity : Has Hyundai Engineering engaged its stakeholders in strategically responding to sustainability?We believe that Hyundai Engineering is making an all-out effort to encourage major stakeholders’ participation in promoting sustainability
management, and we have assured the procurement and operation of diverse stakeholder communication channels of Hyundai Engineering.
However, it is judged that in future the Company must strive to collect opinions positively? and reflect them by expanding the pool of external
stakeholders - such as customers, subcontractors, and non-profit organizations - that can have an impact on the Company’s sustainability.
Materiality : Has Hyundai Engineering included material information in the Report to help stakeholders make informed decisions?We are not aware of any significant omissions or exclusions of data that are material to stakeholders. We have verified that Hyundai
Engineering conducted the materiality test with issues identified in analyses of internal and external environments, and reported according
to the result. In particular, we think highly of the efforts made to come up with important sustainability issues relating to internal/external
stakeholders and report them in linkage with the Company’s vision and sustainability strategy. It is recommended that in future the Company
disclose data about the status of responses from different stakeholders and the process of defining the content of reports in greater detail,
and should make more concerted efforts to ensure that the reports on important issues are focused on performance results.
Responsiveness : Has Hyundai Engineering appropriately responded to stakeholder requirements and interest in this Report?We have verified that Hyundai Engineering has responded to stakeholders’ needs and interests by reflecting stakeholders’ opinions in the
Report. We are not aware of any evidence that Hyundai Engineering’s response to significant issues of stakeholders has been reported
inappropriately. We think highly of the steps taken to cope with stakeholders’ demands and interests in a comprehensive and balanced
fashion by operating diverse communication channels suited to the characteristics of different stakeholders. We recommend that the Company
establish a more solid management system, in which the Plan-Do-Check-Act process can be applied continually to each major issue raised by
the stakeholders through diverse channels designed for the collection of opinions.
■ Review of GRI G4 Compliance and Verification by IndicatorWe confirm that this Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI G4 Core Option. Based on the data provided by Hyundai Engineering,
we can also confirm the validity of the contents related to General Standard Disclosure and Specific Standard Disclosure indicators.

■ Opinions and Recommendations by Sector [On a performance/issue level]We present the following recommendations which are intended to help Hyundai Engineering establish a company-wide sustainability
management strategy and respond to continuous issues of sustainability.
Economic : The content explains clearly the status of the Company’s merger with Hyundai AMCO and the ensuing synergistic effects expected
from the merger. We recommend that the Company classify the risks associated with its financial status and changes in the industry in more
detail and that it disclose its plan on how to carry out management more systematically based on such classification more proactively.
Environmental : We find it very encouraging that the Company operates the environmental safety management system and that the relevant
organization carried out such activities proactively, when environmental safety is regarded as an important issue. It is expected that the Company will
set examples for others to follow through continued management and improvement efforts. We recommend that the Company improve to exemplary
level its process for the establishment of global standards and the collection of data for integrated management of domestic and international
indicators, and that it expand its management areas to company-wide environmental safety data beyond those relating to specific workplaces.
Social : The Company’s adoption of a system for sharing performance results with its partners and subcontractors, improvement of the conditions
concerning payments made to subcontractors, and operation of its “win-win” fund show how Hyundai Engineering has endeavored to practice
win-win management to strengthen its competitiveness rather than engaging in one-off ‘almsgiving’ types of acts. Its adoption of the system for
per-category registration of subcontractors, which is intended to help them enhance their competitiveness, and its switch of focus from the number
of HEC employees and sales to the number of years of HEC employees’ continued service for them in its evaluation of potential subcontractors
attest to the differentiated efforts made by the Company to enhance the industry’s competitiveness through collaboration and co-prosperity with
its subcontractors. The Company-led Stepping-stone house project, which is a network type of social contribution program carried out jointly by
the private and public sectors, appears to present a future vision of businesses’ social contribution activities. We recommend that the Company
evaluate and draft reports on the ripple effects created by the series of social contribution activities it has carried out.
