As of December 31st, 2021, the Company was mainly an engineering service provider, not a manufacturer of products. As such, the Company employs risk management processes, which are being expanded to cover not only project-based risks, but also Company-wide risks.

Currently, the precautionary principle does not form part of corporate risk management processes. However, SNC-Lavalin applies best practices and manages environment and health and safety risks through its management systems which are compliant with ISO 14001 and 45001.

In addition, the vast majority of our clients' projects are subjected to environmental and/ or social impact assessments. SNC-Lavalin is thus expected not only to follow those reports' recommendations, but also to work in collaboration with clients and contractors to limit as much as possible the impacts and risks associated with the projects we work on.
