At the same time, on political participation and lobbying activities, Mota-Engil ensures that its actions remain aligned with the principles of ethics and independence, fostering a transparent dialogue with public bodies and regulators and always out of respect for the applicable norms and a commitment to acting responsibly. The aim is to present the Group's position on legislative and regulatory issues, as well as respond to governmental consultations and participate in various forums. These actions, which it considers positive and boost knowledge-sharing and reinforce the positions of the sectors where it operates, occur either directly through the Group or through associations in which it actively participates [I+] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv]. [...] Political influence and interest group lobbying are conducted by a hired entity under the supervision of the Mota-Engil Group's Chairman [G1-5_01, §29a)]. This entity provides consulting services on European affairs, political analysis, European strategic advice, advocacy, monitoring and information on the political and legislative activity of European institutions, in addition to organising events, conferences and seminars. It is important to note that the entity hired by Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA has been listed on the EU Transparency Register since 01/09/2011 with ID no. 38225546532-14 [G1- 5_10, §29d)]. In Portugal, this entity ensures that contacts with decision-makers and relevant political figures, both at the European and national level, are conducted transparently and according to best practices in force in the EU, in preparation of the future regulatory framework announced for Portugal.

The participation of top management and SHEQ managers increases the accountability around the implementation of initiatives which will support achieving the LTIFR target, and reveals the importance given to health and safety in the Mota-Engil Group, with a focus on prevention and a ZERO fatal accident culture. Other ways in which the Mota-Engil Group ensures accountability and execution of key health and safety initiatives include: [...] Global and Regional SHEQ Committees: SHEQ committees are responsible for the integration and alignment of the safety, health, environment, and quality practices across regions and are chaired by senior management (i.e. the Chair of the Board of Directors for the Global Committee and the regional CEO for the regions). The Global SHEQ Committee was created to facilitate collective discussion among the SHEQ directors of all companies within the Mota-Engil Group's different business divisions. These discussions focus on topics related to safety, health, environment, and quality (SHEQ), taking into account each year's performance, emerging regulatory requirements, and internal priorities. [...] Worker consultations: The Mota-Engil Group consults and involves workers on a regular basis (last done in 2023) by seeking their feedback and input. Seen as a complement to other actions in this area, such as the SHEQ Committees, this activity aims to ensure workers are consulted on matters of safety, health, environment, and quality, as well as to promote their contribution in the introduction of improvement measures. [...] Sustainability Working Group leaders (SWG): The Safety & Wellbeing working group was created to define and implement strategies dedicated to relevant subjects, such as: Golden Rules, Emergency Response, Physical Safety (safety management) and Physical and Mental health, with special leverage of the last.
