Heijmans was also affected by this crisis. The province of Brabant was hit particularly hard by Covid-19 in the first few months of the outbreak. Colleagues fell ill, colleagues lost loved ones and one colleague died; this made a huge impression on the whole organisation. Because of the enormous uncertainty in the early stages of the outbreak, we decided to withdraw our dividend payment for 2019 as a precautionary measure. This was a painful decision for us, as we were planning to pay a dividend for the first time since 2013. But our people and organisa- tion demonstrated enormous resilience. Both in the switch to working from home and on projects, where thanks to the ‘Continuing to work safely together in the construction industry’ protocol, we were able to keep production going. Because our work was classified as a vital profession, we were able to continue working. Some projects did suffer delays, but thanks to the commitment of all our employees and the agility of the organisation, no projects came to a halt. This enabled us, despite Covid-19 and the continuing nitrogen emissions problem, to record higher revenue than in 2019 and to strengthen our cash position and equity. Heijmans did not make use of any government support measures in 2020, such as the NOW wage compensation scheme or the option to defer tax payments. We are proud and pleased that we were able to close 2020 with good results. 06 Heijmans Annual Report 2020 FOREWORD It is not a given that this will continue, as a lot will depend on how the situation develops in the Netherlands. The Our mission is nitrogen emissions issue is still causing delays, mainly in tenders for major infrastructure projects.

In living environment. addition to the nitrogen emissions problem, Covid-19 is expected to remain an external factor that will affect our We do this by working sector in 2021; it will be some time before we can return to normal. Covid-19 makes great demands on society as a better, smarter and whole, and we are also seeing how this is affecting our own people. more sustainably We have managed to bring our projects much more under every day, with a control in recent years. Our appointment of a Chief Risk Officer is paying off and we have seen a sharp increase in long-term view. risk awareness in our project teams. Thanks to Heijmans’ robust financial performance, we are now seen in the market as a reliable partner and an attractive employer. Safety Heijmans continues to devote attention to safety. In day from a bay window and whom he no longer saw 2020, the number of accidents we recorded was the after the accident was indescribable. Fortunately, there same as in the previous year. However, with 50 accidents were no physical injuries, although there was a lot of in the first half of the year and 35 in the second half, we material damage and it had a huge impact on those believe we have turned a corner, partly thanks to our involved. It was a very serious situation and a number of safety policy. The IF figure rose from 3.3. to 3.7. Our people were unable to enter their own homes for a ambition remains 0 accidents and safety remains our prolonged period. We devoted a great deal of attention first priority. Our employees know the rule: ‘We work and energy to our efforts to help local residents, keep safely or we don’t work’ and the Safety Ladder is now them informed and allay their fears of further disasters. embedded at every level of the organisation. All business units are at step three and a large part of Infra Calling each other out is already at step four. At step four, people think Heijmans stands for a healthy living and working proactively about safety, and the rest of the organisation environment. Everyone who works for us must feel safe will have to take that step in the coming years. The GO! and secure. We see society as a whole becoming (‘No Accidents) Compass helps to clarify parameters and increasingly individualistic and harsh, which manifests individual roles in our discussions with employees. itself in things like bullying and intolerance.
