CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2016 Cover: Hercílio Luz Bridge | Florianópolis | Brazil Corporate Governance Report 2016 Corporate Governance Report 2016 Having started its activity in 1921, Teixeira Duarte currently leads a major Economic Group with over 10,000 employees, who work in 18 countries, in 6 activity sectors, achieving an annual turnover of over 1,100 million euros. Based on its structural Values: Resourcefulness, Truth and Commitment, Teixeira Duarte has accomplished its Mission: Doing, contributing to the building of a better world. Its foundational reference as an Engineering Establishment characterises Teixeira Duarte’s action in all its Areas of Construction from Geotechnics and Rehabilitation, to Buildings, Infrastructures, Metalworking, Underground Works, Railway Works and Maritime Works. The sustained growth in Construction over decades has enabled the Group to progressively develop other Activity Sectors due to the business opportunities it has encountered and knowingly fostered since the 1970s, such as Concessions and Services (since 1984), Real Estate (since 1973), Hospitality (since 1992), Distribution (since 1996), Energy (since 1996) and Automotive (since 1991). Although in 2016 it still operated in the Energy sector - where it had operated since 1996 - Teixeira Duarte divested its stake in the entity through which it maintained its activity in this sector in the first quarter of 2017. With a consolidated process of internationalisation, Teixeira Duarte has long operated in other markets which are nowadays still important in its operations, such as Venezuela (since 1978), Angola (since 1979), Mozambique (since 1982), Spain (since 2003), Algeria (since 2005) and Brazil (since 2006), currently also added by France, Belgium, United Kingdom, United States of America, Colombia, Peru, Morocco, South Africa, China, Qatar and Dubai.
