ABOUT OUR REPORT

KBR’s Corporate Sustainability Report, “Built on Values – Our Story Continues”, discloses our significant social, environmental and economic impacts to provide our stakeholders a way to assess our commitment to corporate sustainability. Our stakeholders include shareholders, customers, employees, government and industry partners, and the communities we serve.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) promotes the use of sustainability reporting as a way for organizations to become more transparent. GRI’s mission is to make sustainability reporting standard practice.

This report, which covers business activity in calendar year January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, has been prepared according to GRI G4 Core guidelines and reflects KBR’s relevant and material aspects of sustainable development. Previous reports were published on a three-year basis. With this report, our third, we are moving toward an annual publication.

Page 3: Built on Values Our Story Continues Report/KBR... · 2015-12-02 · KBR is a company of people, more than 25,000 employees doing business in 70 countries, and it is to our people

As a company that develops technology, designs and builds energy infrastructure and provides services to government clients around the world, we have the potential to leave lasting footprints wherever we go. At KBR our philosophy has always been to treat other people’s communities with the same respect as our own. We focus on Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) because we believe in leaving a place as good as, or even better than, we found it.

The theme of this year’s report – “Built on Values” – reflects our commitment to doing the right thing for our people, our clients and partners, and the communities and countries in which we do business.

When I joined this company as CEO in June of 2014, I knew I was coming into an organization with a 100-year history of serving clients wherever and whenever they needed KBR to be. Whether it’s providing the technology and consulting know-how to develop our customers’ valuable global assets; designing and constructing the infrastructure and facilities to develop the world’s energy resources; providing support and services for men and women of their countries’ armed forces; or navigating the intricacies of undertaking major projects in geopolitically or culturally sensitive environments, KBR delivers.

However, KBR’s proud tradition of service and accountability is not an end. Rather it inspires a pressing and continuing commitment to live up to the ideals established by those who came before us and to advance those ideals for the next generation of KBR leaders and employees.

In 2014 we took steps to move our company toward a more sustainable future.

n Safety has been a core value of KBR since 1961 when Brown & Root founder Herman Brown distributed a letter to each employee that became the basis for our safety programs. In August we appointed a Vice President of Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) and for the first time established a direct line of HSSE reporting to the office of the CEO, emphasizing our commitment to Zero Harm starting at the highest levels of KBR and continuing throughout the organization.

n In November we introduced our Zero Harm safety program. More than merely an initiative, Zero Harm is a vision. It establishes a culture of safety where safe execution is non-negotiable and no incidents are tolerated. With an emphasis on training, personal responsibility and accountability, Zero Harm underscores the belief that all incidents are preventable and empowers everyone in the organization to avoid any situation that could put our employees, subcontractors or clients at risk.

n As part of our commitment to economic sustainability we conducted a major strategic review of our operations and in December announced a major business transformation creating a new KBR focused on our core strengths in consulting, technology, engineering and construction, and government services and structured along delivery lines that will enable us to meet the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders. This, combined with reduced complexity, will provide a more robust balance sheet, greater accountability and empowerment for our people, and position KBR to meet the challenges of the future.

n In an effort to encourage greater communication and transparency, KBR’s Executive Leadership Team began seeking opinions throughout the organization including from the KBR IMPACT Group – the global network for KBR’s future leaders – on how to bring alive the actions that ultimately demonstrate our values and drive our day-to-day business activities. Together we defined a collection of core behaviors that form the backbone of our corporate culture and reinforce our shared mission of We Deliver.

We Deliver.A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO

KBR is a company of people, more than 25,000 employees doing business in 70 countries, and it is to our people who we owe our best effort. We conduct business ethics training and have a robust code of conduct that applies to all employees and reflects how highly we value principled business practices. We believe that every employee has the right to expect a safe, healthy work-place and so we begin meetings with a safety moment, discussing specific on-the-job risks and how to mitigate them. Our Zero Harm culture underscores and supports our safety commitments.

In addition to providing training, skill-enhancing and development opportunities to employees in our offices and worksites, we also work with local community colleges to identify needed job training courses in order to help build and maintain the workforce of the future. We’re providing jobs to local people, fair trade opportunities to local companies and support to local communities.

In turn, KBR employees commit thousands of hours to their communities – supporting schools, cleaning parks, funding playgrounds, planting trees and providing much needed supplies and assistance to those in the communities who need it most. We also give hundreds of thousands of dollars to charitable organizations around the globe to help support worthy causes aimed at providing more educational opportunities, increased health or prevention benefits, and environmental improvements in the communities in which we live and work.

At KBR we understand that building a sustainable future – one that is built on values – is a never-ending process. In today’s global society, the role of a corporation goes beyond providing returns to shareholders, wages to employees, and products and services to its immediate customers. We believe we have a responsibility to also make our world a better place and we embrace that responsibility.

To do this requires the will and the courage to adapt to an ever-changing and challenging future by understanding and meeting the needs of customers in diverse markets without succumbing to market volatility and risk. It means responding to the concerns and values of all of our neighbors in a respectful and accepting manner in accordance with the customs and needs of each community in which we operate. It means understanding that a company thrives not just by capturing markets, but by serving the people, cities and countries of our global community.

We are honored to have the opportunity to work with clients around the world building the projects of the future and helping to contribute to a better tomorrow for everyone.

Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT (COBC)

At KBR we believe that integrity is the most important value we hold, and it must never be sacrificed for the sake of profits. This belief is reflected in our COBC – the ethical standards and legal principles that are the foundation of our company. KBR’s COBC influences every aspect of our business, from how we help our customers develop their resources, to the way we interact with the communities where we live and work, to how we treat our people and everyone with whom we come into contact.

KBR’s Board of Directors adopted the COBC to establish a common set of ethical standards and legal principles that the company expects every employee to exhibit when dealing with clients, communities and each other. KBR also expects third parties working on behalf of the company to adhere to the same ethical standards, and will not condone any illegal or unethical actions.

KBR conducts its business in compliance with all applicable laws and in accordance with ethical standards. In some situations, the applicable laws of the United States may conflict with those of another country. In such cases, the company will endeavor to resolve such conflicts following the guidance of our Legal Department. Where such a conflict cannot be resolved, the applicable laws of the United States will be observed and complied with.

It is the personal responsibility of each employee to adhere to the standards and restrictions applicable to his or her assigned duties and responsibilities, whether imposed by applicable laws or the COBC. Each employee must avoid any

activities that would involve the company in any practice that is not in compliance with the COBC. Any employee who does not adhere to such standards and restrictions is acting outside the scope of his or her employment, responsibilities or agency.

Beyond legal compliance, all employees are expected to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the discharge of their as-signed duties and responsibilities. This requires the practice of fair dealing, honesty and integrity by employees in every aspect of engaging with company employees, the public, the business community, shareholders, customers, suppliers, partners, competitors and governmental and regulatory authorities. Employees, when acting on behalf of the company, will not take unfair advantage through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresenta-tion of material facts, or other unfair practices.

Employees have the responsibility to read, understand, and comply with the COBC and to participate in company-mandated COBC training. Any employee who compromises or violates the provisions of the COBC may be subject to disciplinary action including termination and, if applicable, criminal or civil proceedings.

Examples of conduct that may result in disciplinary action include violating COBC policy, requesting others violate COBC policy, or failing to promptly report a known or suspected COBC violation.

When in doubt about the propriety of a particular course of action, employees are encouraged to contact the Ethics Hotline or any member of the Law Department.

Full disclosure of our COBC can be found at https://www.kbr.com/Documents/COBC_English.pdf

ETHICS

The ethical principles contained in our COBC demonstrate our commitment to perform our mission with the highest integrity. KBR offers an independently operated, global ethics hotline for reporting possible violations of the KBR COBC or applicable anti-corruptions laws.

In the United States in 2014, there were 24 discrimination claims resolved in mediation or arbitration through KBR’s Dispute Resolution Program and one harassment claim resolved in arbitration. Globally, in 2014, KBR’s Ethics Hotline received 465 calls, with 47 percent related to COBC issues.

The nature of KBR’s business requires our people to meet challenges and deadlines every day, safely and responsibly. In 2014, KBR employees worked more than 172,000,000 hours at over 600 facilities around the world with a resulting recordable injury rate of 0.30.

While many consider this recordable injury rate an admirable achievement, KBR views it as the next threshold on which we must improve. The only way to maintain this level of commitment to continuous improvement is with a matching commitment to the health and safety of our people and to the environment.

At KBR, HSSE is highly integrated into our training, facility and project planning, and a corporate culture that values and believes in each person’s ability to achieve complete HSSE success. That success begins with being a safe and healthy individual who mitigates safety risks at work and home, and also has the courage and feeling of empowerment to intervene when he or she sees others at risk.

We have reinvigorated our safety program through a series of campaigns aimed at realignment and refocus our efforts by creating a step change that makes a good program greater.

The KBR Zero Harm initiative was launched in late 2014 with key components specifically designed to engage employees with our overarching theme that zero incidents are achievable. Central to this are our seven fundamental HSSE Absolutes, each of which contain elements that support our company and HSSE program vision. These are:

n Total Safety Task Instructions: The KBR pre-task risk assessment and mitigation conducted prior to task commencement. Employees work together to identify task related hazards reinforcing not only safety training but also teamwork.

n Courage to Care Conversations: The Courage to Care Conversation process is a behavioral and observational based safety program that empowers employees to inter-vene with co-workers when unsafe acts are observed in addition to reinforcing positive behaviors. Employees are encouraged to exercise the Courage to Care Conversation process in their personal lives in an effort to extend a safety mentality all day, every day.

n MyKey Stop Work Authority: MyKey represents each employee’s right to stop any task if there is a perceived danger or risk, regardless of that employee’s position or level of authority.

n Safety Energy: Safety Energy is the KBR leading indicator program that is a proven best practice. Safety Energy continuously

measures and tracks the level of engagement that project leadership expends towards safety initiatives.

n Keys to Life: The KBR Keys to Life are field related activities that have been identified as having the highest potential to cause serious injury. The keys are diligently managed at all field locations where they establish a clear set of injury mitigation standards in an effort to trigger robust employee engagement.

n Key Office Behaviors: The KBR Key Office Behaviors are safe office behaviors that are actively managed in all office locations. The Key Office Behaviors provide a high level of engagement in an environment that is typically more introverted in nature.

n Incident Review Board: The Incident Review Board provides a method for incidents to be reviewed through a fair, consistent, and equitable process. The Incident Review Board ensures all high potential incidents are thoroughly reviewed by business segment leadership as well as serves as a global lessons learned communications platform.

Implementing and highlighting these HSSE Absolutes within our business has proven successful based on our incident rates. But at KBR we view incident rates as a representation of someone – a person, a family member, a friend – who suffered as a result of an unsafe act or condition. It is for this reason that we strive to make continual improvements to our programs. Zero Harm is about learning from our past to make today successful and creating a sustainable future for our employees and operations.

The KBR Zero Harm Program

Message from HSSE Vice President

“Sustainability plays a vital role in the future of our business. The demand for businesses to contribute to the communities where they operate is here, and we must respond to that demand in a way that demonstrates our commitment to create value for our stakeholders. We have made significant progress in our sustainability efforts, from compliance initiatives that ensure continuous improvement in our safety, environmental and quality man-agement systems to project pre-planning efforts that incorporate programs designed to serve the communities in which we are engaged in. Sustainability is integrated into all areas of our operations, and KBR continues to be willing and capable of in-corporating these sustainable development activities for the benefit of the community, our operations, and our clients.”

Nick Anagnostou, Vice President Health, Safety, Security and Environment

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELLNESS

KBR people are known for their hard work, dedication and drive to deliver innovative solutions to every challenge – from creating safe, efficient technology that helps customers develop their resources, to designing and constructing the facilities and infrastructure that power our world, to providing support for militaries and governments around the globe. To attract such people, we must offer rewarding careers, opportunities for professional and personal development, equality of opportunity, flexible compensation, fair treatment and the expectation that they will be treated with dignity and respect.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

The most successful and productive employees are usually the healthiest. Understanding the many stressors and obligations that exist in our employees’ lives and the challenges involved in maintaining wellness with so many competing demands in today’s world, KBR makes the health of our employees a top priority. Through our many health-focused programs, we demonstrate to our employees that we care and want to retain them as valued, long-term team members.

IN THE U.S.

Health Screenings

In 2014, 1,570 employees across the U.S. participated in free on-site health screenings. Screenings include a blood pressure, body fat and body mass index measurement; a cholesterol test (glucose, HDL/LDL and triglycerides); and a waist-circumference measurement. At the screening, participants may discuss their test results and options for improving their health with a health coach.

Flu Shots

In 2014, 1,617 employees received free flu shots at seven KBR offices throughout the U.S. We also provided flu shot vouchers for use at local pharmacies to employees who work at locations where it is not feasible to provide on-site vaccinations.

Healthy Steps

This wellness program rewards U.S. employees financially for taking specific measures to protect and improve their health. KBR employees had the opportunity to participate in the Health Screenings. If employees’ screening results were within healthy ranges, they automatically earned a premium discount for 2015. If employees’ screening results fell below the healthy ranges, they were required to either participate in health coaching or improve their numbers on their own to receive the premium discount. For 2014, 1,151 employees received the discount on their 2015 medical premium.

GLOBALLY

In the U.K. and Australia, flu shots and vouchers were offered to employees. Employees in South Africa take advantage of a cash back benefit from their medical plan that reimburses costs associated with purchasing healthy foods, fitness clothing and gym memberships. In the UAE, health checks were carried out for the first time in 2014. Singapore employees participated in numerous organized wellness activities including team sports and family days while also taking advantage of on-site health screenings. Indonesia conducted flu shots and sponsored several employee sports activities.

In addition to these wellness programs, KBR offers other initiatives to help employees stay healthy including on-site health fairs, coaching for lifestyle and chronic conditions, on-site chair massages and discounts for fitness facilities, weight-loss programs and retailers that offer healthy food options.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)

As an integral part of our ONE KBR and Zero Harm culture, KBR’s EAP provides confidential, professional mental health counseling and related services free of charge to employees and their dependents. This helps to ensure that KBR employees are emotionally healthy, safe and productive and able to meet our customers’ requirements.

KBR’s EAP organization is staffed internally in the U.S. by a range of licensed mental health profes-sionals, including licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, licensed chemical dependency counselors and certified employee assistance professionals.

EAP offers 24-hour crisis intervention, stress management for critical events and individual consultations covering a wide variety of issues including marital troubles, substance abuse, child rearing, elder care and mental issues.

Additionally, EAP counselors routinely consult with supervisors and managers on issues that include workplace crisis intervention, addressing employee performance problems, as well as supervisory topics involving change management, human relations, communications, and emotional resiliency. EAP tools and resources are available

to help our employees and their supervisors reach their full potential so they can be independent but accountable decision makers, proactive in their work and responsive to the needs of KBR’s customers.

Employees attend the annual benefit fair sponsored by Wellness@KBR where they receive free flu shots. The fair is part of KBR’s commitment to ensuring the health and well being of every employee.

Economic sustainability for KBR means creating a company that will last for generations to come. In 2014, we strengthened our commitment to deliver superior returns to our shareholders and backed it with sustainable business practices that ensure profits today and in the future. We focused on our core strengths in consulting, technology, engineering construction, and govern-ment services; restructured the organization to better meet the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders; and improved our capital and operational efficiency.

Ensuring a sustainable company means creating our own future rather than reacting to whatever is happening in the marketplace. It means looking beyond short-term gains and quick profits to cre-ating opportunities for long-term financial value and being valued by our customers.

ECONOMICS

Good governance is the hallmark of a well-run, economically sustainable company. KBR’s Board of Directors adheres to a fair and honorable model of governance to guide its role as the guardian of shareholder interests. KBR’s Board has four standing committees to which it has delegated certain duties and responsibilities: Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance (“NCG”), and Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social Responsibility (“HSSE&SR”).

The NCG Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

n developing, implementing and periodically reviewing KBR’s corporate governance guidelines;

n developing and implementing a process to assess board and committee effectiveness;

n identifying individuals qualified to become board members, consistent with board- approved criteria; and

n determining the composition of the board and its committees, including selection of director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders.

The HSSE&SR Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

n reviewing the status of KBR’s health, safety, security, environmental, and social responsibility policies and performance, including processes to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

n reviewing KBR’s health, safety, security, environmental, and social responsibility performance to determine consistency with policies and goals;

n reviewing and providing input to KBR on the management of current and emerging health, safety, security, environmental, and social responsibility issues;

n overseeing KBR’s activities in managing its major risk exposures within the health, security, environmental, and social responsibility areas; and

n reviewing KBR’s political and charitable contributions and social responsibility activities.

FINANCE

KBR operates in highly competitive markets throughout the world. We believe we offer a competitive advantage in the following ways:

n market-leading health, safety and environmental standards and sustainable practices n customer relationships n successful prior execution of large projects in difficult locations n technical excellence and differentiation n high value in delivered projects and services measured by performance, quality, operability and costn service delivery, including the ability to deliver personnel, processes, systems and technology on an

“as needed, where needed and when needed” basis with the required local content and presence n consistent superior service quality n financial strength through liquidity, capital capacity and the ability to support warrantiesn breadth of proprietary technology, know-how and technical solutions and n robust risk awareness and management processes.

KBR conducts business in over 70 countries. Based on the location of projects executed, our operations in countries other than the U.S. accounted for 63% of our consolidated revenues during 2014, 66% of our consolidated revenues during 2013 and 73% of our consolidated revenues during 2012.

We market substantially all of our project and service offerings through our business segments. The markets we serve are highly competitive and for the most part require substantial resources and highly

skilled and experienced technical personnel. A large number of companies are competing in the markets served by our business, including U.S.-based companies such as Bechtel Corporation, Fluor Corporation, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., AECOM Technology Corporation, and international-based companies such as Amec Foster Wheeler plc, Chicago Bridge and Iron Company N.V., Chiyoda Corporation, JGC Corporation, McDermott International, Inc., Petrofac, Saipem S.p.A., Technip S.A., Wood Group PSN and WorleyParsons. Since the markets for our services are vast and extend across multiple geographic regions, we cannot make a definitive estimate of the total number of our competitors.

KBR GLOBAL TRAVEL EMMISSIONS, tCO2eENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS

KBR is committed to pursuing sustainable environ-mental solutions to offset human activities that may contribute to global warming. We make efforts to mitigate any negative contribution to this issue and work to find ways to reduce carbon emissions. Year after year we’ve been recognized by the Carbon Trust Standard for reducing our carbon footprint.

Although the majority of our energy consumption is by office operations, we continue to reduce the overall usage of all natural resources.

Our employees are helping where and when they can to reduce our greenhouse gas impacts. In 2014 KBR U.S. offices recycled 360 short (U.S.) tons of paper.

We continue to work with our clients and suppliers to find ways to minimize materials that will later become waste before they get to the project sites. We make every effort to recycle materials. Containers used to transport materials to site are used on return trips to deliver collected and segregated items to recyclers.

We make every effort to reduce what we use and recycle generated material as a method to help sustain natural resources.

Page 12: Built on Values Our Story Continues Report/KBR... · 2015-12-02 · KBR is a company of people, more than 25,000 employees doing business in 70 countries, and it is to our people

Each year KBR employees contribute to the betterment of their communities, volunteering thousand of hours and raising money to support worthy causes.

HUMAN RIGHTS

As an extension of our COBC, KBR adopted a Global Human Rights Policy that acknowledges the principles contained in the United Nations Declarations of Human Rights. While KBR believes it is the role of government in each country to protect the human rights of its citizens, our actions play an important role in upholding equality, dignity and respect for all people in the countries where we conduct business.

Our human rights policy serves as a powerful guide for our employees and subcontractors. For example, KBR has a zero-tolerance policy regarding Trafficking in Persons compliance. We enforce these requirements by conducting pre-award reviews, mandating that all employees and subcontractors deployed overseas attend a Trafficking in Persons training program, performing monthly inspections at subcontractor temporary labor camps, and offering an ethics hotline for employees to report any concerns, including potential Trafficking in Persons violations.

VOLUNTEERING

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT

KBR employees routinely solve problems and find solutions for our customers. That’s the founda-tion of our We Deliver commitment. It’s also a quality that extends to our employees’ volunteer activities. Around the world, KBR employees contribute many hours to the betterment of their communities. At times, it involves small local projects – planting trees; cleaning parks; adopt-ing schools and repairing playground equipment;

and lending assistance to the ill, the elderly and the disadvantaged. While these projects and causes might seem small in nature, they are ones for which employees have a real passion. Collec-tively, their efforts add up to thousands of hours of volunteer service in hundreds of communities. Community outreach in the form of volunteering or cash donations is further encouraged and facilitated through KBR’s corporate matching donations and the KBR Cares volunteer program, the company’s vehicle for organizing volunteer activities and raising employee awareness of community needs. A few examples of employee involvement in 2014:

Bowling for dollars

One of the highlights of the year for KBR’s Houston volunteers is the Junior Achievement Bowl-a-Thon. Each year KBR employees volunteer as team captains and bowlers/fundraisers competing to raise the most money both within the company and among other companies in the Houston area. It’s a hotly contested event, with teams vying to outdo each other in fund raising, costumes and team spirit. KBR bowlers raised a total of $21,476.58 in 2014 to provide financial literacy training and experiences to America’s future business professionals.

Lighting up

Hamilton is a small community in northern Mississippi with a population of 631 and one local school for grades K-12. For the past two years KBR has provided maintenance and small capital services to Tronox Limited’s titanium dioxide manufacturing operation, which has been part of

the town for more than 50 years. After making do with an aging manual scoreboard for many years, the school’s sports teams raised the money to purchase a new electronic lighted scoreboard for their baseball field. Unfortunately, the scoreboard cost more than expected, leaving them without the funds to have it installed. Hearing of their predicament, KBR reached out to the school and asked if they could help. Each day, schedule permitting, KBR employees would load a forklift, a manlift and other equipment onto trailers and, accompanied by a police escort, drive two miles to the school’s baseball field to work on the project. It took five days to get the new scoreboard in place but KBR met the students’ goal to have it up and working for the Lady Lions baseball team’s first game of the season. Once again KBR Delivers – safely, on time and on budget!

Giving from the heart

KBR’s corporate matching donations program helps employees make contributions to the local or national charities that are closet to their hearts. KBR absorbs all of the administrative costs of the program and adds a 50 percent matching donation for employee contributions over $50.00. Employees may donate to one or more organizations, either through a one-time contribution or payroll deductions. In 2014, KBR employee contributions helped fund parks, preserve estuaries, and provide much needed financial support to non-profit organizations involved in education, health and welfare, civic programs, arts and culture. KBR employee payroll deductions of approximately $350,000 to various organiza-tions were supplemented with KBR corporate dollars, for a total of $523,500 in contributions to worthy causes.

As Qatar’s ambitious Expressway Programme creates the vital transportation linkages to support the country’s growth, KBR’s highly effective HSE initiatives are helping to instill a unified safety culture among the many workforces and create a safer future.

KBR Canada’s Aboriginal and Local Engagement Committee is designed to foster greater under-standing and engagement with this large and growing segment of the country’s workforce.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

RAISING THE BAR FOR SAFETY ACROSS QATAR’S EXPRESSWAY PROGRAMME

It’s the safety superhighway. As Programme Management Consultant for Qatar’s extensive Expressway Programme, KBR has 18 projects in construction, and safety is the driving value across all project sites. Throughout, KBR’s health, safety and environment team has guided consultants and contractors in implementing highly effective safety initiatives that empower the project’s many workforces across Qatar. Among the initiatives are health, safety and environment toolbox talks and stand downs, weekly manage-ment walk throughs, issuing of first aid pouches for all workers and the use of safety report cards.

The focus is paying off. In 2014, numerous Expressway Programme projects celebrated notable safety milestones:

n Dukhan Highway Central, with a workforce of more than 3,000 people, achieved 25 million hours without a lost time incident (LTI).

n Lusail Expressway, achieved 10 million work-hours without a LTI.

n F-Ring Road, demonstrating a commitment to an incident and injury-free workplace, achieved four million work-hours without a LTI.

As more Expressway Programme projects move into construction, the safety focus is expanding to include road users driving through and around project sites. In a Qatar first, crash cushions have been installed along temporary diversion roads. Traffic mounted attenuator vehicles are also being used to guide traffic to make journeys even safer for road users.

By achieving project safety milestones and expanding safety awareness into the community, KBR and its program partners are helping to shape an improved safety culture for construction projects across Qatar.

KBR REACHES OUT TO CANADA’S ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES

Diversity in the workplace is one of the corner-stones that contribute to a stronger workforce. In Canada, Aboriginal people make up a large and growing segment of the workforce. That’s why employees of the KBR Services Group has taken steps to ensure that they encourage diversity by reaching out to the local Aboriginal communities. From hiring subcontractors and tradespeople to work on KBR projects, to increasing Aboriginal cultural awareness among KBR staff and estab-lishing relationships within the communities, the goal is to foster increased trust and openness among KBR and the Aboriginal communities.

To this end, KBR established the Canada Aboriginal and Local Engagement Committee designed to increase Aboriginal awareness and inclusion in the Canadian communities in which KBR employees live and work.

Since most of Canada is governed by treaties with the indigenous people, industry in Canada has a duty to consult with Aboriginal people, whose treaty and traditional rights may be affected by oil and gas projects. But KBR wanted to do more – honoring our client requirements while also being proactive and developing our own long-term relationships with First Nations and Metis people.

Not only does it make for a better, more diverse workforce for KBR projects, it also furthers our sustainable development commitments to develop projects efficiently and responsibly, reach out to communities through initiatives that meet their needs and create greater economic opportunities for the entire region.

After a fellow Leatherhead, UK employee’s life was saved through the swift response of the region’s air ambulance service, KBR employees raised £5,000 (USD $7,543) to fund the program, which relies on charitable contributions.

KBR TEAMMATES RAISE FUNDS, AIR AMBULANCE AWARENESS AT LEATHERHEAD

When an employee in KBR’s Leatherhead, U.K., office suffered a serious medical crisis while on the job, his colleagues responded swiftly to help him, contacting the emergency response service to dispatch an air ambulance (helicopter) to the campus, ensuring a successful outcome.

One of the biggest surprises for most KBR employees that day was the fact that the air ambulance service was not funded through the U.K. National Health Service, but is a registered charity that relies on fundraising to survive. It costs £6 million (USD $9.7 million) a year to fund the service, which covers the English counties of Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The single visit to the KBR campus cost about £2,500 (USD $3,771).

To say thank you, Leatherhead employees decided to raise money for the service. As part of dress down Friday, all members of the project were invited to wear the shirt of their favorite team, whatever the sport, and pay a fee for the privilege. The event, along with KBR fund matching, raised more than £5,000 (USD $7,543) for the air ambu-lance service. The fundraising had a ripple effect; KBR employees later ran in a local half marathon sponsoring the air ambulance.

CONVERTING TRASH TO ENERGY – SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

Converting municipal solid waste (MSW), or trash, into energy is not a new process but new and emerging technologies are making the process cleaner and more economical than ever before. KBR provided engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s Renewable Energy Facility 2, the most advanced and cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in North America. The facility is designed to transform 3,000 trash per day of MSW into 100 megawatts of clean energy, providing power for an estimated 40,000 homes and businesses, while reducing the local landfill deposit rate by up to 90 percent.

Since the project was awarded in 2011, KBR was embedded in the community, employing 259 local direct hire workers during peak construction in December 2014 and contracting with 21 local subcontractors for engineering, concrete construction, electrical work, roofing, landscaping, plumbing, painting and other services. A total of $136,943,953 was paid to Palm Beach County firms, including $22,693,474 to small business enterprises. KBR exceeded its local hire commitment by 5% for skilled employees and 10% for unskilled employees.

Through an innovative redevelopment and remediation program, KBR transformed the 136-acre brownfield site of its original Clinton Drive campus into a greenspace for urban development.

The City of Palm Beach’s state-of-the-art waste-to-energy power plant designed and built by KBR will provide power for an estimated 40,000 homes and businesses while reducing landfill use.

A key element of the contract was to provide training and development opportunities for local workers. KBR trained 223 participants in a wide variety of National Center for Construction Education and Research courses, from field and task-specific safety training to craft skills such as pipefitting, electrical, rigging, project supervision and crew leadership.

KBR also recruited and trained local U.S. Military veterans, many of them out of work and living in transitional housing. Through our award-winning QuickTrain program, KBR’s ongoing feeder oper-ation for entry level unskilled and semi-skilled workers, they graduated with basic construction skills and guaranteed jobs as helpers and laborers on the project.

KBR RECEIVES FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION FOR FORMER CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS PROPERTY

When KBR decided to sell the original Brown & Root headquarters at 4100 Clinton Drive, Houston, Texas, the company knew that extensive remediation would be needed to make it ready for future development. After more than 100 years of industrial activity both with Brown & Root and previous owners, the site contained residual chemicals and other contaminants.

The KBR team knew that transforming the 136-acre brownfield site for more productive use would be no small feat. It took five years and multiple KBR departments and teammates working together with civic and local elected officials to complete the remediation process. Approximately 36,000 cubic yards of soil was removed and recycled for use in commercial/industrial projects, enabling KBR to reduce the carbon footprint, lessen resource consumption and lower the cost of soil disposal.

KBR also applied for a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD), a tool that is used to streamline and facilitate urban redevelopment in Houston.

An MSD creates an area within a municipality where current and future property owners are prohibited from using the groundwater for potable purposes such as drinking, bathing, cooking or irrigating crops. Since City of Houston water is supplied by a closed system from surface water bodies such as Lake Houston rather than shallow groundwater, this prohibition is merely a formality. By designating a property as being located within an MSD, owners are not required to clean up the groundwater to drinking water standards, thereby shortening the remediation process and saving significant sums of money. The Clinton Drive site is the largest tract approved thus far for an MSD.

KBR received the final certificate of completion from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in September 2014. In the process it turned a large, historically impacted, limited-use site into a greenspace that is ready for new life as a vibrant residential or commercial development in the heart of Houston.

With a can-do attitude and a spirit of innovation, KBR provided a healthy environment for UK and international troops in a remote and arid desert.

To a large extent, the scope and the boundaries of our approach to corporate sustainability and sustainable development is defined by who we are as a service company and what we do for our customers. As people, and as global corporate citizens, we strive to make a difference in the lives of the people who work for us, their families and all those in the communities where we operate. The following stories highlight some of our achievements in 2014.

CAMP BASTION (AFGHANISTAN)

Located northwest of Lashkar Gah, the capital of Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, Camp Bastion is a solitary fortress in the middle of an arid, treeless, empty desert. Between 2005 and 2014 it was the logistics hub for International Security Assistance Force operations in Helmand during the War in Afghanistan and Operation Herrick and was capable of accommodating over 32,000 people.

KBR arrived at Camp Bastion in 2007 under the CONLOG (Contractor Logistics) contract with Britain’s Ministry of Defence. At peak, more than 1,500 KBR staff worked at the base.

Operating in a remote desert with extreme weather conditions, KBR faced many challenges in performing its mission. But through broad experience, a can-do spirit and sheer necessity, (the mother of innovation), KBR successfully navigated every challenge.

POTABLE DRINKING WATER

With summer temperatures exceeding 40ºC (104ºF), each soldier needed on average, up to 10 liters per day of drinking water. Rather than relying on road convoys to deliver bottled drinking

water, KBR designed, constructed and operated an industrial water bottling plant at the camp. Every day the plant produced 36,000 liters of water — a total of 72.5 million bottles from 2008 through 2014, containing enough water to fill 29 Olympic swimming pools. KBR not only met the needs of each soldier, we also:

n Saved the equivalent of 6,400 trucks deliveries by transporting empty bottles and preforms, which are 3% of the weight and 9% of the volume of commercially bottled water.

n Delivered approximately £25 million (USD $37 million) cost savings to the British taxpayers – transport of bottled water into Helmand being 60% more expensive than the Bastion-produced product.

n Reduced the carbon footprint by eliminating repeated water delivery trips to and from the camp.

n Prevented human death and injury by reducing the need for convoys through a remote and hostile region.

FULL REGENERATION CAPABILITY

KBR designed, constructed and operated a major workshop repair facility for routine maintenance and overhaul programs, extending equipment service lives, reducing equipment rotation and backloading to the UK, reducing transportation emissions and green footprint and saving a total of £120 million (USD $181 million).

TACTICAL BASE ABLUTION UNIT

KBR piloted the KBR TAU, a lightweight, economic and robust yet easily transportable ablution system that improved camp hygiene and living conditions. With this system, 100% of grey water was filtered and cleaned for re-use, requiring the water tank to be replenished every two weeks under normal conditions. Black water from toilet flushing was transferred to a holding tank and

incinerated, with only minimal ash as a by-product. An on-demand battery reduced generator use and delivered an efficiency rating greater than 90%. The KBR TAU is now being used in military exercises worldwide.

SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Built in 2013, the waste transfer system provided on-site sorting/segregation of waste into different streams, resulting in more than a 50% reduction in the use of landfill/incineration through recycling.

n Woods – 16,445 m3

n Cans, tins and aerosols – 732 m3

n Plastic bottles – 734 m3

n Paper and cardboard – 7,300 m3

n Scrap metals – 455,000 kg (circa 4,460 m3)n Waste oils – 372,610 litern Waste fuel – 51,860 litern Landfill/incineration – 25,681 m3

DEVELOPING LOCAL SKILLS

With a commitment to contributing to future stability, reconstruction and sustainable development in Afghanistan, KBR maximized local recruitment and procurement by employing, training and developing Locally Recruited Workers. Maintaining a constant dialogue with the employed “Mullah” or village headman as the key point of contact for all health, safety, welfare, and cultural issues, KBR employed and trained thousands of Afghans to the highest standards of quality and safety. Qualified as electricians, plumbers, air con technicians, generator mechanics and chefs, they now have skills to contribute to their nation’s development.

The award-winning Regional Rail Link in Victoria, Australia is becoming the model for delivering an environmentally sustainable infrastructure project.

AUSTRALIAN RAIL LINE

The Regional Rail Link is a landmark AU$ 4.1 billion (USD $2.97 billion) infrastructure project in the Australian state of Victoria. Designed to untangle bottlenecks, improve reliability and provide new services from the heart of Melbourne to growth areas in the west, the project benefits both met-ropolitan and regional travelers, enabling more Victorians to use sustainable public transport.

KBR, in joint venture with Arup (KAJV) was awarded concept design for the project, which includes 45km of new rail track, 25 bridges, five new upgraded stations and five grade separations with-in the operational rail corridor. The contract was later extended to the development of reference designs and technical advisory support for procurement and subsequent construction phases.

The goal of all the stakeholders was to deliver a project with a positive legacy for communities along the tracks. Through close collaboration between KBR, the other contractors and the Regional Railway Authority project team, the project has raised the bar for innovative sustain-ability practices on large infrastructure projects nationwide.

Key successes include reducing construction- phase energy and carbon by 20 percent, developing a groundbreaking environmental rating tool for railway stations and achieving green star certifications for five railway stations – a first in Australia. The project also introduced innovative practices for the recycling and reuse of construction and demolition waste resulting in large reductions in materials such as Portland cement, timber and base building materials.

The project received the Infrastructure and Buildings Award at the Premier’s Sustainability Awards 2014, which recognizes and celebrates achievements and dedication toward building a more environmentally sustainable future for Victoria. More importantly, it offers tangible proof that with a strong commitment by project stakeholders, sustainability can be successfully built into large-scale infrastructure projects from inception, encouraging further innovations throughout its operating life.

See CEO’s statement in our report content.

G4 2 Provide a description of key impacts, risks, and opportunities. Our rate of growth and the success of our business depend upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of affordable trained engineers and other skilled workers either through direct hire or acquisition of other firms employing such professionals. The market for these professionals is competitive. If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected, the cost of executing our existing and future projects may increase, and our financial performance may decline.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from foreign operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries where we transact business. The occurrence of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance. With respect to any particular country, these risks may include by are not limited to:

n Expropriation and nationalization of our assets in that country;n Political and economic instability;n Civil unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war or other armed conflict;n Currency fluctuations, devaluations and conversion restrictions;n Confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;n Governmental activities or judicial actions that limit or disrupt markets, restrict payments, limit the movement of funds, result

in the deprivation of contract rights or result in the inability for us to obtain or retain licenses required for operation.

Due to the unsettled political conditions in many oil-producing countries and other countries where we provide governmental logistical support, our financial performance is subject to the adverse consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, currency controls and governmental actions. Our operations are conducted in areas that have significant amounts of political risk. In addition, military action or continued unrest in the Middle Ease could impact the supply and price of oil and gas, disrupt our operations in the region and elsewhere and increase our costs related to security worldwide.

Some of our services are performed in high-risk locations, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia where the country or location and surrounding area is suffering from political, social, economic issues, war or civil unrest. In those locations where we have employees or operations, we have and may continue to incur substantial costs to maintain the safety of our personnel. Despite these precautions, we have suffered the loss of employees and contractors which could expose us to claims and litigation. In the future, the safety of our personnel in these and other locations may continue to be at risk, exposing us to the potential loss of additional employees and contractors.

G4 18 Explain the process for defining the report content and the Aspect Boundaries.

Explain how the organization has implemented the Reporting Principles for Defining Report Content.

The content of this report is provide using the “in accordance “core to provide full disclosure of KBR managed operations; as stated in previous reports the environmental data is provided for KBR owned facilities. Economic, social and environmental information found in this report is also mentioned in our 2014 Annual Report, including Form 10-K and Annual Proxy Statements. This report is prepared under the direction of the VP of HSSE and KBR’s Sustainable Development Committee which has executive management representation.

G4 19 List all the material Aspects identified in the process for defining report content. KBR’s material aspects continues to be our Core Values of Commitment, Integrity, Transparency, Accountability and Responsibility, in short; our Employees, Economic and Environment focus . We have not made significant changes from our previous reports in aspect boundaries.

G4 20 For each material Aspect, report the Aspect Boundary within the organization, as follows: All aspects identified in G4-19 are material within our organization.

G4 21 For each material Aspect, report the Aspect Boundary outside the organization, as follows: Not engaged with aspect boundaries outside of our organization.

G4 22 Report the effect of any restatements of information provided in previous reports, and the reasons for such restatement

We have restated our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. We determined the restatement was necessary due to the materiality of the additional estimated costs to complete seven Canadian pipe fabrication and modular assembly contracts within our Services business segment which we identified subsequent to filing our Form 10-K on February 27, 2014. In addition, we identified a pre-tax error which resulted in an overstatement in our revenue recognition on a long-term construction project. We also identified an error which resulted in an understatement of our income tax provision. The adjustment to “provision for income taxes” on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects this additional expense. In addition, we have corrected several immaterial errors which resulted in an increase in net income. These errors resulted in misstatements in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 as follows:

In KBR’s Restated Consolidated Statement of Operations from 2013:

Net Income Attributable to KBR was $75,000,000 USD.

Services Revenue was $7,214,000,000 USD.

Cost of Services was $6,797,000,000 USD.

General and Administrative was $248,000,000 USD.

Provision for Income Taxes was $129,000,000 USD.

In KBR’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, Retained Earnings were $1,748,000,000 USD.

The Board is responsible for filling vacancies on the Board. The Board has delegated to the NCG Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The NCG Committee considers suggestions of candidates for Board membership made by current Committee and Board members, KBR management, and stockholders. The Committee may also retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration. The NCG Committee will also consider candidates nominated by the stockholders in accordance with KBR’s Bylaws. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate should notify KBR’s Secretary.

When the NCG Committee identifies a prospective candidate, the Committee determines whether it will carry out a full evalu-ation of the candidate. This determination is based on the information provided to the Committee by the person recommending the prospective candidate and the Committee’s knowledge of the candidate. This information may be supplemented by inquiries to the person who made the recommendation or to others. The preliminary determination is based on the need for additional Board members to fill vacancies or to expand the size of the Board, and the likelihood that the candidate will meet the Board membership criteria listed above. The NCG Committee will determine, after discussion with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members, whether a candidate should continue to be considered as a potential nominee. If a candidate warrants additional consideration, the Committee may request an independent executive search firm to gather additional information about the candidate’s background, experience and reputation, and to report its findings to the Committee. The NCG Committee then evaluates the candidate and determines whether to interview the candidate. Such an interview would be carried out by one or more members of the NCG Committee and others as appropriate. Once the evaluation and interview are completed, the NCG Committee recommends to the Board which candidates should be nominated. The Board makes a determination of nominees after review of the recommendation and the Committee’s report.

Candidates nominated for election or re-election to the Board should possess the following qualifications:

n personal characteristics:- highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;- an inquiring and independent mind;- practical wisdom and mature judgment;

n broad training and experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education or technology;n expertise that is useful to KBR and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members, so that an

optimum balance of members on the Board can be achieved and maintained;n willingness to devote the required amount of time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of Board membership;n commitment to serve on the Board for several years to develop knowledge about KBR’s principal operations;n willingness to represent the best interests of all stockholders and objectively appraise management performance; andn involvement only in activities or interests that do not create a conflict with the Director’s responsibilities to KBR and its

stockholders.

A director will be considered independent under KBR’s Corporate Governance Guidelines if he or she:

n has no material relationship with KBR;n has not been employed by us or any affiliate of ours during the preceding three years, and no member of the director’s imme-

diate family has been employed as an executive officer of ours or any of our affiliates during the preceding three years;n has not received, and does not have an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within

The definition of independence and compliance with this policy will be reviewed periodically by the NCG Committee. All direc-tors complete independence questionnaires at least annually and our Board makes determinations of the independence of its members under the listing standards of the NYSE and the SEC requirements for Audit Committee members. Our Board believes that its membership should include no more than two directors who are also employees of KBR.

Include the highest governance body’s role in the implementation of due diligence processes. Report whether stakeholder consultation is used to support the highest governance body’s identification and management of economic, environmental and social impacts, risks, and opportunities.

The KBR Board of Directors has four standing committees that address economic, environmental and social impacts. Those committees are:

Audit Committee Compensation Committee Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Social Responsibility Committee Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Additionally, KBR has an Annual Shareholders Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders have an opportunity to submit items to the agenda for review and vote.

G4 46 Report the highest governance body’s role in reviewing the effectiveness of the organization’s risk management processes for economic, environmental and social topics.

KBR’s Board of Directors considers risk oversight to be an integral part of its role, and discussions regarding risks faced by the company are part of its meetings and deliberations throughout the year. As part of the implementation of KBR’s new strategy, KBR’s management is improving its enterprise risk management system to provide greater executive oversight for managing risks. Once this update is complete, management will provide the Board regular reports regarding significant strategic, operational, financial, and hazard risks determined by management to have a potential significant impact on the company as a whole. The risk report involves both current and emerging risks and is the culmination of a process involving input from all business groups and executive leadership. Management’s assessment of risk will include specific strategic, operational, financial and hazard risks, the perceived trend for each of those specific risks — whether increasing, decreasing or stable — and the measures being taken to monitor and mitigate those risks.

In addition to the enterprise risk management process described above, the Board also engages in risk oversight through the project approval process, whereby projects reaching a threshold level of expected revenues require Board approval. Fixed-price contracts have a lower threshold level than reimbursable-type contracts because of their potential price and financial risks. In reviewing projects, the Board is presented with management’s assessment of a particular project’s cost exposure associated with operations risk, liabilities and funding risks, among others. In this manner, KBR’s Board is engaged in risk oversight at the outset of the largest projects, which could have a material effect on KBR’s operations.

The Board is also engaged in risk oversight through regular reports from its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is charged with reviewing with management the company’s major financial risk exposures, as well as other areas of risk exposure if request-ed to do so by the Board, and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate those exposures. The Audit Committee receives periodic reports from management on these areas of potential exposure, including litigation, liquidity and capital resources, financial reporting and disclosures, regulatory and tax risks, among others. The Audit Committee also receives reports from management regarding compliance risks and Code of Business Conduct matters.

G4 47 Report the frequency of the highest governance body’s review of economic, environmental and social impacts, risks, and opportunities.

G4 48 Report the highest committee or position that formally reviews and approves the organization’s sustainability report and ensures that all material Aspects are covered.

G4 51 Report the remuneration policies for the highest governance body and senior executives for the below types of remuneration:

n Fixed pay and variable pay: n Performance-based payn Equity-based payn Bonusesn Deferred or vested shares n Sign-on bonuses or recruitment incentive paymentsn Termination payments n Clawbacks n Retirement benefits, including the difference between benefit schemes and contribution

rates for the highest governance body, senior executives, and all other employees.

Report how performance criteria in the remuneration policy relate to the highest governance body’s and senior executives’ economic, environmental and social objectives.

Pay for Performance in 2014

Our NEOs who were with KBR for the entirety of 2014 did not receive any payouts under our 2014 Short-Term Incentive Plan. Likewise, the long-term cash performance awards payable for the three-year period ending on December 31, 2014, earned $0, which represents 60% of our NEOs’ annual long-term incentive compensation opportunity. In addition, restricted stock unit and stock option holdings, which represent 40% of our NEOs’ annual long-term incentive compensation, are significantly devalued and all of our NEOs’ stock options granted in the last five years are currently underwater.

These results demonstrate a compensation plan designed on the principles of “Pay for Performance” and fully aligned with the disappointing financial and operational results for 2014. Equally evident is the resultant challenge of ensuring retention and forward-incentive for the existing and new members of our executive leadership team.

Clawback of 2013 Compensation

Due to the restatement of our 2013 financial results, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors implemented our claw-back policy and sought and recovered from our NEOs who are current executive officers and the former CEO and chief accounting officer the portion of their 2013 Short-Term Incentive Plan payouts that should not have been paid in light of the restatement. Our current CEO, Mr. Bradie, was not an employee in 2013, and our current chief financial officer, Mr. Ferraioli, joined KBR on October 28, 2013, and was not eligible for a 2013 Short-Term Incentive Plan payout. Thus, neither Mr. Bradie nor Mr. Ferraioli were subject to any clawbacks.

Changes Made to 2015 Compensation

Upon the recommendation of our CEO, based on prior year performance and peer-comparative data, our Compensation Commit-tee approved zero 2015 base salary increases, zero 2015 short-term incentive target increases, and zero 2015 long-term incentive target increases for all NEOs (excluding the CEO).

Based on peer-comparative data for his level of compensation, on his non-involvement (pre-hire) in the 2013 financial and opera-tional problems, and on our Board’s total satisfaction with his immediate personal engagement in formulating and leading KBR’s business transformation actions, our Compensation Committee and Board approved modest increases to our CEO’s short- and long-term incentive targets for 2015 but made no increase to his base salary. The CEO’s 2015 total target compensation was kept below the median total target compensation for our E&C Peer Group.

G4 EC2 Financial implications and other risks and opportunities for the organization’s activities due to climate change

Existing or pending climate change legislation, regulations, international treaties or accords are not expected to have a short-term material direct effect on our business, the markets that we serve or on our results of operations or financial position. However, climate change legislation could have a direct effect on our customers or suppliers, which could impact our business. For example, our commodity-based markets depend on the level of activity of mineral and oil and gas companies and existing or future laws, regulations, treaties or international agreements related to climate change, including incentives to conserve energy or use alternative energy sources, which could impact our business if such laws, regulations, treaties or international agreements reduce the worldwide demand for minerals, oil and natural gas. We will continue to monitor developments in this area.

G4 EC3 Coverage of the organization’s defined benefit plan obligations The defined benefit section of the KBR (UK) Ltd Pension Plan is a defined benefit plan obligation where there is a fund set up to meet the liabilities. The latest full triennial actuarial valuation of the Plan looked at the Plan’s position as at 1 April 2012 and showed that the defined benefit section had a deficit of £337m, equivalent to a funding level of 73%. This valuation was based on the ongoing scheme specific funding assessment as required under the scheme funding framework in the UK. The methodolo-gy, assumptions and results are set out in the scheme funding report for that valuation. An assessment of the deficit at the latest triennial valuation date of 1 April 2015 is currently underway.

There is a recovery plan in place under which KBR (UK) Ltd is currently paying contributions of £28m per year into the Plan. Under this recovery plan, the deficit was projected to be eliminated by 31 December 2023. This projection is based on the assumptions from the actuarial valuation and future assumptions about the returns achieved on the Plan’s assets. The recovery plan has been agreed by KBR (UK) Ltd and the Trustees of the Plan.

The defined benefit section of the Plan is closed to new entrants and existing members are no longer building up new benefits. There are therefore no regular employee or employer contributions towards the cost of new benefits being paid into the Plan.

case of Gorgon, Ichthys, Skikda and Escravos, enabling export of a cleaner energy source in transportable quantities resulting in new or better supplied markets for natural gas production.

- Transportability of “stranded gas” from regions with large supplies and relatively small market to regions with growing demand and relatively little resource promotes a better global allocation of resources leading to greater efficiency for many nations and the energy industry as a whole (Gorgon, Ichthys, Skikda, Escravos, Dyno-Nobel).

- Transfer of technology to produce ammonia and fertilizers that improve food supplies and yields for a growing population. KBR has provided services in support of 3 number of ammonia and fertilizer facilities in 2014.

n Economic development in areas of high poverty- Offices in Luanda, Delhi, Chennai, Jakarta and Monterrey, which provide professional and clerical employment as well as

multiplier effects, where living conditions having been improving, but are not yet fully developed.- Greater supplies of ammonia and urea translate into higher quantities of foodstuffs available for growing populations

n Economic impact of improving or deteriorating social or environmental conditions- Providing the knowhow and project management behind the processes to convert natural gas to a transportable liquid,

enabling wider use of a more environmentally-friendly fuel for heating, electricity and other energy requirements- Natural gas powered facilities often replace existing and incremental coal-fired or oil-fired energy facilities, which contrib-

utes toward reducing SOX, NOX, particulate and other emissions.- Higher crop yield using fertilizers derived from ammonia produced from a KBR process technology improves the overall

success of planting and availability of food and exports.

n Enhancing skills and knowledge amongst a professional community or in a geographical region- Providing professional engineering jobs and associated training in Angola, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia,

South Africa

n Jobs supported in the supply chain or distribution chain- Thousands of jobs supported through sub-contractors and equipment vendors and OEM manufacturers throughout the

world through the construction of world-class processing plants

n Stimulating, enabling, or limiting foreign direct investment- Enabling large-scale FDI in Australia (Gorgan and Ichthys), Mozambique, Saudi Arabia (Dow), inward United States

(Dyno-Nobel) with competitive designs, schedules and pricing along with capable project management in LNG, refining, petrochemicals and ammonia.

n Economic impact of change in location of operations or activities- Increasing presence in India provides professional and clerical job opportunities to a growing market.
