CARLOS MOTA SANTOS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CEO
INSPIRING Beyond Cultures
2024 will be marked, at a global level, by the continuation of the war context that has lasted in Europe for three years, more recently added with the war in the Middle East. Prevailing uncertainty works to reinforce economic tensions, drawing a picture that defies the vision of joint progress and cohesion we would like to be a reality in nowadays world.
9
To that extent, 2024 was a challenging time for enterprises, as globally disruptive transformations emerged. Artificial Intelligence is now an integral part of business model development, increasingly associated with sustainability challenges, which the developed world will have to advance if our planet is to be cared for and preserved for generations to come.
In the case of the Mota-Engil Group, supported as we are by a legacy we are proud of and drives us to do ever better for the community and all our stakeholders, and in spite of the many and diverse challenges we faced in each of our operating regions, we can clearly take pride in what we achieved in 2024.
Focused on meeting the strategic objectives to which we have committed at all levels of our organisation, in 2024, it was possible to achieve a record Turnover of 5,951 million euros, an EBITDA of 955 million euros (with a 16% margin), thus ensuring a net profit of 123 million euros for the Group.
In these key indicators, the Group reached an unprecedented level in their 78-year history, with growth in all business areas and improved profitability, while maintaining their focus on controlling debt levels, which remained in line with the Strategic Plan.
To such extent, we have achieved the commitment we made to our shareholders at the beginning of the year in terms of sustainable growth centred on our core markets, on improving profitability and on promoting asset rotation to generate added value for the Group, thus significantly strengthening our balance sheet.
On a commercial level, we reached the largest volume ever achieved, by concluding a set of new contracts in 2024, worth 8 billion euros, meaning that over a period of three years only, we have more than doubled our Order Book, currently at 15.6 billion euros.
This, in turn, allowed us to ensure Group historic levels of production for the coming years, and, more importantly, with such a highquality portfolio that Mota-Engil will be able to maintain one of the best operating margins in the Infrastructure Industry in Europe.
To support growth, the Group made a series of investments amounting to 511 million euros, in line with the previous year. Here, the highlight is that 76% of the total investment was directed towards business areas such as the Environment and Industrial Engineering, the segments with the highest margins in the Group's portfolio, or towards expansion investment, which demonstrates how focused our investment was on medium and long-term profitability, a trend which, I am certain, we will maintain in the years to come.
With these achievements, in 2024, the Mota-Engil Group met a significant part of the goals set in their Strategic Plan, not expected to be reached until 2026.
Therefore, and certain that the performance we have achieved can be sustained in the future, a New Strategic Plan will start to be developed in 2025, to set new ambitions with 2030 in mind.
Within the scope of such strategic reflection, we will delve into what may be new opportunities to generate greater added value in existing businesses and assets, as well as expand and diversify into new areas of recognised future potential, so as to project new goals in a Group with a long-term vision.
Acting in the present with a focus on the future, our aim will be to combine the purpose that guides us with a culture that sets us apart, aligned with the competitive advantages we now rely on and which, I am sure, will enable us to further strengthen our international operations.
However, all of this would not have been possible without the technical expertise, the widely recognised experience and the unyielding dedication of our employees. In the different markets we operate in, they were the ones who made it possible to achieve and, in many cases, to excel the objectives we set ourselves. Last but not least, fair recognition, as well as extended acknowledgement are in order to all our clients, suppliers, partners, funders and investors, who have decisively contributed to continuing a journey that should make us all proud.

1.2 THE STRENGHT OF A GROUP
17
Inspiring Beyond Cultures
Founded in 1946, Mota-Engil is a Group built on 78 years of experience, consolidated over several generations. It was set up by the Mota family, which is still today its largest shareholder through Mota Gestão e Participações SGPS, SA and has a long-term commitment to the company. In 2021, EPOCH, Capital Investments, BV, 100% owned by China Communications Construction Group, a group of Chinese origin and one of the world's largest construction companies, joined the shareholder structure with a 32.4% position, helping to strengthen the Group's capacity to operate on a global scale. It stands out for its commitment, its people and its skills, with its motto being 'Our Legacy inspires and commits us to building a better world', which culminates in its capacity for action on the road to a more sustainable future.
With a market positioning aligned with best practices and a business conduct based on ethical principles and supported by a strategic, unique and integrated vision for the future, the Group aims to become increasingly international, innovative and competitive on a global scale.
Leader in Portugal and with a solid position in the ranking of the 15 largest European construction groups 1 , it has 7 business units and operates in 21 countries, spread over three geographical areas - Europe, Africa and Latin America. This 78-year history is due to its commitment to rigour, quality and execution capacity in each market.
Also noteworthy is the Manuel António da Mota Foundation (FMAM), set up by the Mota-Engil Group and the Mota Family, as an important instrument of the social responsibility policy.
The Mota-Engil Group's purpose derives from an awareness that it is up to everyone, today and in the future, on a dayto-day basis, to provide the appropriate response to every new challenge, bearing in mind its strategy, supported by specific environmental, social, economic and governance objectives that are based upon a culture and ethics of conduct with organisational values that set the Group apart.
www.mota-engil.com The drafting of the "Statement of Purpose" resulted from an in depth study of the identity and the "raison d´être" of the Group together with its contribution to society. Between April and June 2023, a series of questionnaires, interviews and workshops were held with the participation of personnel and external stakeholders in a variety of countries and at different levels in the Group. In addition to the surveys provided to strategic internal and external stakeholders, including all Group personnel, interviews were also held with strategic stakeholders. A group of staff representatives was also set up for each of the business units, countries, ranks in the Group (from top management to operational personnel), age group and length of service with the purpose of studying the information collected and establishing the aims of the Group. The final results were discussed and authenticated by the Executive Committee.

Mota-Engil carries out a wide range of activities associated with the design, construction, management and operation of infrastructures. The Group has a long and recognised experience in several countries with various public and private clients, as well as a high level of technical know-how, which is leveraged in the development of other activities that benefit from synergies and cross-selling, such as Industrial Engineering services. Mota-Engil has been strengthening its presence in the Environment and Energy areas, realising the need to contribute to the Group's sustainability and to a sustainable planet. In this sense, in addition to the collection and management of urban waste, the Group operates in the production of renewable energy and is increasingly investing in the energy and carbon efficiency sector, contributing to the much-needed energy transition.
The Mota-Engil Group has developed construction projects in around 50 countries, affirming its technical competence and building a reputation for excellence, standing out in the construction of infrastructures and various structures such as roads, motorways, railways, airports, ports, dams and buildings, as well as in the construction and maintenance of support platforms for the Oil & Gas segment, among other specialities such as electromechanics, special foundations and geotechnics.
Through Lineas and its subsidiaries, Mota-Engil operates a network of around 2,500 kilometres of roads and motorways, including the two bridges in the city of Lisbon.
Mota-Engil has a historical experience of more than 5,000 kilometres of concessions (green field projects) involving a total investment of more than 12 billion euros, and is supported by specialised know-how that has been acquired since 1994 in Portugal, and expanded to international markets, mainly Latin America.
Industrial Engineering Services are one of Mota-Engil's main growth drivers, as they capitalise on the Group's presence and track-record since 1998. In particular, they benefit from the ability to operate in multiple markets and with the capacity to mobilise resources, and from Mota-Engil's positioning in the E&C segment in Africa. The Industrial Engineering Services contracts are based on a reliable, long-term partnership with some of the most recognised multinational investors.
Mota-Engil Group began activities in the Environmental field in 1995 in Portugal through Suma in the urban rubbish collection and disposal sector, taking on additional competencies with EGF – a leading Company in the treatment and recycling of waste – using cutting edge technology in the sector as well as energy generation from biogas and a processing plant.
At an international level, Mota-Engil has expanded activity in this sector into markets including Angola (Vista Waste), Mozambique (Eco Life), Cabo Verde (Agir), Brazil (Suma Brazil), Oman (Eco Vision) and Ivory Coast (Eco Eburnie and Clean Eburnie) with a view to continuing expansion while contributing to a better world that is ready for the forthcoming generations.
Mota-Engil Capital is a Business Unit whose objective is to leverage the creation of value for the Group through diversification of investments, supported by integrated management of a set of assets and projects complementary to the Engineering and Construction and Environment segments. It works closely with the Group's core businesses.
With this strategic vision, the Mota-Engil Capital portfolio is focused on:
The Mota-Engil Group was the first private operator in the energy production sector in Mexico, owning a number of hydroelectric generation assets in operation through Generadora Fenix with a production capacity of over 280 MW. In addition to generation, it is also present in energy commercialisation, holding three PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) in operation for 148 MW (658 GWh/year), the most important being the 20-year PPA contracted with Mexico City. EGF also has a waste recovery plant, which produces energy by capturing biogas from landfill, incinerating it at the energy recovery plant and recovering organic waste.
It is currently developing a pipeline of renewable energy projects, including hydroelectric, photovoltaic, biomethane and energy storage.
With the aim of reinforcing investment in innovation and being an accelerator of global transformation, Mota-Engil Mext was set up, which holds executive responsibility for a group of subsidiaries operating in different areas such as:
Mota-Engil Mext also has a Transformation Committee within its structure, which aims to be a vehicle for boosting efficiency and innovation within the Group, operating across all the business areas and geographies where Mota-Engil is present.
Manuel António da Mota Foundation (FMAM) is an important instrument of Mota-Engil's social responsibility policy, as an organised and systematised manifestation of ethical and socially committed management, in the name of active and participative corporate citizenship. Its purpose is to promote, develop and support initiatives of a social, educational and cultural nature, operating throughout Portugal and in the countries where the Group is present. Headquartered in Porto, the Manuel António da Mota Foundation was set up in 2009 and recognised in 2010 by the Portuguese Council of Ministers. Its public utility was declared in 2014 and renewed in 2020. In Peru, it was inaugurated in 2014. The FMAM believes that its way of working boosts the capacity of the institutions it supports to produce transformative and lasting effects among the people who benefit from its services.
In its scope of intervention, it targets both local communities and the people who are part of the Mota-Engil Group, positioning itself as a Foundation that contributes to the integrated development of the community.
Every year, the FMAM holds the 'Manuel António da Mota Award'. There have been 15 editions in Portugal, with the 15th edition taking place in 2024 under the slogan 'Always Solidary', which reinforces the commitment to a fairer, more cohesive and solidary country'. The award annually honours institutions that stand out in the fight against poverty and social exclusion, the reception and integration of migrants and refugees, the enhancement of the interior and territorial cohesion, health, education, employment, family support, innovation and social entrepreneurship, digital and technological inclusion and transition, and climate transition.
Also worthy of mention is the 'Manuel António da Mota Award - A life in Angola', aimed at social solidarity institutions in Angola. With two editions, this initiative is a testimony to the deep ties that united the Portuguese businessman and his Family, as well as the Mota-Engil Group, to this country, and whose connection is perpetuated.

1.2.2 Strategy Building 26 for a Sustainable Future
The issue of sustainable development is now a global concern and challenge and, as such, the Group is aware of the fundamental role that companies play in realising an agenda for sustainability. Based on its purpose, in which 'Our legacy inspires and commits us to building a better world', its ambition is to be 'A global company focused on delivering value to all stakeholders in a sustainable way.
Sustainability and innovation are one of the five axes of action within the scope of the 'BUILDING 26 | For a sustainable future' Strategic Plan, through which the Group is committed to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and to contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Within this framework, eight strategic objectives have been defined, aligned with seven of the 17 SDGs - namely SDGs 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 17 - and contributions to various other SDGs have also been identified.

Mota-Engil has a Tax Risk Management Policy, which establishes a set of principles and procedures aimed at enabling the Group to identify, assess and manage the tax risk inherent in its operations (current and non-current). Mota-Engil has a Tax Risk Management Policy, which establishes a set of principles and procedures aimed at enabling the Group to identify, assess and manage the tax risk inherent in its operations (current and non-current). These principles and procedures apply to all the companies owned by the Group and are followed by the various management levels - holding company, Business Units and markets / countries - which, in line with the general principles of the Group's organisation, must interact with each other to ensure that tax risks are identified in good time and managed effectively.
The document also typifies a number of situations which, due to their nature, complexity or size, potentially generate material tax risks for the Group and in which the corporate tax area should be involved in the decision-making process.
The Group is guided by compliance with the law and tax obligations in the various markets where it operates and monitors, centrally and locally, changes to tax laws and regulations in each of the places where it operates that may have an impact on its tax strategy. The Group is governed by the fulfilment of tax laws and obligations in the various markets in which it operates and monitors, on a central or local level, changes to tax laws and regulations in each of those locations in which it operates and that may affect its fiscal strategy.
Mota-Engil seeks to maintain a good relationship with the tax authorities in the countries where it operates, thereby trying to minimise the risk of disputes with them. In Portugal, Mota-Engil is one of the companies that has signed up to the Code of Good Tax Practices promoted by the Portuguese tax authorities, which establishes a set of principles and rules of conduct that should guide the relationship between taxpayers and the tax authorities. Mota-Engil seeks to maintain a good relationship with the tax authorities of the countries in which it operates, to minimise the risk of disputes with said entities. In Portugal, Mota-Engil is one of the companies that abides by the Code of Good Tax Practice promoted by the Portuguese tax authorities, which establishes a set of principles and rules of conduct that guide the relationship between taxpayers and the fiscal authorities.
The Group is governed by compliance with the law and tax obligations in the various markets in which it operates. Any decision taken complies with the applicable tax laws and regulations.
The basic principle of tax risk management is based on avoiding unnecessary disputes with the various tax authorities: (i) ensuring that the decisions taken are based on robust and well-founded technical positions; (ii) appropriately documenting the facts underlying the decisions taken; and (iii) implementing compliance procedures to ensure that the result of these decisions is correctly reflected in tax calculations and returns.
In a context where the interpretation of facts or tax legislation is often associated with a level of subjectivity (and is therefore susceptible to generating disputes), avoiding any and all disputes with the tax authorities may be too costly and not in line with the objective of maximising the value created for the Group. In this sense, the Group may in certain circumstances decide to run the risk of disputes, provided that it is likely that such disputes will be resolved in its favour. These situations are assessed and managed in accordance with the principles set out in the Tax Risk Management Policy.
All decisions are based on the Group's business objectives and, as such, any tax optimisation initiatives are carried out in this context. This means that any transaction or operation carried out must be motivated by commercial reasons and have a valid business purpose.
Recognising that the needs and objectives of the business are the priority for the Group, whenever there are alternative ways of achieving the same results for the business, the one that proves to be most efficient from a tax point of view is followed. Therefore, the heads of each business involve the local, business unit and corporate tax teams in the planning and decision-making process so that they can work in partnership with the business functions, providing clear and timely information on the tax impact of the options considered and (where available) suggesting solutions that ensure alignment between business objectives and efficiency from a tax point of view. Tax teams must be able to operate in an environment of uncertainty and controlled risk-taking in line with the risk management principles set out in this document.
The prioritisation of business needs and objectives must not, however, take precedence over compliance with the law and tax obligations. In the event of uncertainty in the interpretation of tax legislation, a clear assessment is made of the expected tax consequences and it is ensured that these are taken into account in the decision-making process.
In addition to participating in decision-making processes in which its intervention is requested by business managers or local or business unit tax teams, the corporate tax area is consulted when operations/decisions are involved which, due to their nature or complexity, are likely to have material tax impacts for the Group.
ꟷ Tax compliance
Each Group company is responsible for complying with the various tax obligations in the markets where it operates. These obligations include calculating the various taxes in accordance with the applicable tax laws and regulations, paying them, submitting returns within the deadlines established by law and other ancillary administrative obligations. The calculation and payment of taxes and the submission of tax returns are always carried out on the basis of the tax legislation in force on the date of fulfilment of each obligation.
In line with the established principles, each company is also responsible for appropriately documenting the technical positions and facts underlying transactions and decisions made that are reflected in tax returns. This responsibility includes preparing transfer pricing documentation in markets where it is required. This documentation is prepared at the time the transactions or decisions are made and kept on file for the period required by local law for keeping tax records.
Technical positions affecting more than one jurisdiction are reconciled and agreed between the parties involved and the corporate tax area before being included in any tax return.
Bearing in mind that tax legislation is constantly changing, each company's stakeholders with responsibilities in the tax area keep up to date with developments in this area in the country where they operate.
ꟷ Inspection management and tax litigation
The heads of each company seek to maintain a good relationship with the respective local tax authorities in order to minimise the risk of dispute with such entities. The relationship is conducted professionally and cordially, based on providing clear information and making it available in a timely manner.
The management of tax inspections and tax disputes (such as administrative claims or legal actions) is the responsibility of the local companies. Companies notify the corporate tax department whenever a new inspection is initiated, and the notification must include the company being inspected, the scope and the period covered by the inspection.
Decisions to accept or appeal administratively or judicially against corrections to tax payable arising from any inspection action are made on the basis of a cost-benefit assessment, taking into account the following factors:
• Risks associated with the dispute process, particularly reputational risks, and risks to relationship with the tax authorities.
When these decisions concern situations identified as likely to have a material tax impact on the Group, the corporate tax area is involved in the decision-making process.
ꟷ Tax Reporting
The accounts and financial statements reported by each company include all movements and balances relating to tax, calculated on the basis of up-to-date information at the date of preparation. This is essential to enable the Group to report accurate and complete consolidated financial information.
In addition to financial reporting, each company also reports to the corporate tax department any tax contingencies existing in the respective reporting period. This initiative is part of the transversal risk monitoring process implemented by the Group.
ꟷ Sharing good practices and tax information
Local companies and the tax teams of the Business and Corporate Units share knowledge, experience and best practices on all issues that can help improve the identification, assessment and management of tax risks.
This sharing makes it possible to increase efficiency and quality in the definition of technical positions on the treatment of certain income or expenses, in the identification of relevant issues in the context of tax inspection actions and in the management of these inspections.
Any changes to tax laws or regulations in each country that may have a material impact on the operations of local companies are communicated by the heads of the respective companies to the corporate tax area so that it can participate in assessing the impact and determining any actions that may need to be taken in response to the changes identified.
The risk management process is an integral part of the Group's internal control system which consists of the development of management policies and procedures with a view to ensuring the creation of value, safeguard of assets, protection of workers, compliance with laws and regulations, and a controlled environment that ensures the fulfilment of the Group's ethical principles, corporate targets and strategic goals as well as the reliability of information reported.
Therefore, risk management at the Mota-Engil Group is based on an integrated and cross-cutting process, intended to be evolutionary regarding the constant identification and monitoring of exposure to the different types of risks inherent to its business, considering the various regions and geographies in which the Group is present, selecting and implementing strategic options for handling the main risks.
In this chapter we present the structures responsible for the analysis and monitoring of the risk management process, its principles, phases and components and, finally, the main risks to which the Group is exposed throughout the exercise of its activity.
The overall risk management of the Mota-Engil Group is the responsibility of the Executive Committee of Mota-Engil SGPS and of the management and supervisory bodies of the companies that integrate it. At the level of the Executive Committee, the Corporate Risk area is assigned to an executive director.
In addition, there is also a specialised Committee, the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, which is usually composed of 1 (one) independent director, the Chairman, and 2 (two) members who may not be executive directors, thus ensuring the necessary independence. This Committee reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and has the following main duties:
The Mota-Engil Group's corporate and management model establishes a structure of accountability for risk management based on three lines of defence.
The third line of defence, Internal Audit, covers all the areas, processes and activities of the companies that make up the Group, and its main mission is to contribute to the achievement of the strategic objectives, assessing the compliance and continuous improvement of the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group's management processes, supporting the prevention and mitigation of control risks that could result in the risk of financial loss and promoting the Group's and its employees' compliance with all applicable regulations through independent intervention, in conjunction with all its organic units.
The corporate functions and global platforms make up the second line of defence. Their mission it to set out specific control rules on internal risks, monitoring and guiding people's behaviour and decisions within the established standards and rules aimed at preventing risks, and on external risks that may arise from an external context to the Organisation and which are beyond its influence or control and may impact the Group's strategic goals or corporate targets.
Additionally, the Corporate Risk function, which also integrates the second line of defence, is responsible for defining the Risk Management Policy and for ensuring its good operation, guaranteeing that the Group is aware of the main risks, supporting the risk appetite analysis and the respective definition of limits, and guaranteeing the appropriate implementation of a cascade risk management process at the Organisation through the defined structure so as to promote good execution, accountability and culture.
Likewise, the main mission of the Corporate Compliance function is to ensure the application and universal respect by the whole Group of the compliance practices and rules, to ensure that they are kept up to date, and to act to prevent and mitigate compliance risks, which are the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss or loss of reputation as a result of failure to comply with the application of laws, regulations and the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, promoting an environment of integrity and a culture of compliance with regulatory frameworks and standards related to ethical principles and values throughout the Group.
Lastly, the first line of defence is carried out by the Business Units, markets, companies and projects, which are responsible for risk management at the front line, playing a fundamental role in risk management, as they are usually closest to the risks and are therefore continually faced with assessing risks, the amount of risk to take on and defining treatment options to mitigate them. These decisions must take into account the risks involved not only for the business unit, market, company or project, but also the wider impact of the risk on the Group as a whole.
In order to ensure constant strengthening of the internal control system, process integration and its compliance in terms of the three lines of defence, monthly meetings with the corporate areas of Internal Audit, Risk and Compliance are also held, aimed at a reflection on the level of exposure to risk of the Group, as well as on the assessment of compliance with existing and applicable standards.
It should also be mentioned that risk management at the Mota-Engil Group is an integrating element of all organisational processes and decisions, rather than an isolated activity. Risk management and control are monitored by the Board of Directors, the heads of the Business Units, global platforms for shared services and technicians and by the corporate functions of the Group.
In this way, the main risks to which the Group is exposed are monitored by the internal reports prepared by the heads of the Business Units and by the reports, opinions and recommendations of the aforementioned Committee, in conjunction with the information prepared by the heads of the corporate functions and global platforms.
The main principals of the Risk Management Policy are as follows:
The Mota-Engil Group's risk management process applies to the various components integrating the risk management structure and which were developed to achieve specific goals, as well as to the suit the external and internal contexts in which they are applied.
Within each component, the Mota-Engil Group's risk management process encompasses four essential stages:
The cross-cutting risk management structure, coordinated by the Corporate Risk function, is composed of four components:
The cross-cutting risk matrix and respective reporting consists of a bottom-up and top-down process to support riskinformed decision-making at Group Executive Committee level, as well as to ensure effective dialogue in terms of risk between management teams, providing leadership and guidance.
In this way, the Risk and Internal Audit Committee issues an opinion on the Group's risk matrix whenever it is updated annually or when there are substantial changes to external environment risks and/or operational risks.
On the other hand, the Mota-Engil Group's cross-cutting risk matrix is a working tool for systematically monitoring the level of risk implicit in the different dimensions to which the Group is exposed - Strategic, Business, Economic-Financial and ESG.
Therefore, the Executive Committee defined the following key stages for the development and maintenance of the crosscutting risks matrix:
This process is further characterised by the following macro-activities:
In addition, the Corporate Risk function prepares quarterly reports on the cross-cutting risks matrix, which are submitted to the Executive Committee, thus making it possible to analyse the main recommendations issued and decide on the actions deemed necessary for mitigating the risks identified, each reporting being also shared with the Risk and internal Audit Committee.
Finally, the permanent monitoring and quarterly reporting procedures make it possible to present and detail the levels of exposure to each of the main risks identified throughout the year, as well as the mitigation measures implemented.
The corporate risk register consists of a bottom-up risk management process aimed at ensuring comprehensive identification and prioritisation of all critical risks and opportunities, as well as defining and implementing treatment options and contributing to a robust risk culture throughout the Organisation.
In this way, the inventory of risk and opportunity events was defined on the basis of collaboration between the business units and those responsible for the Group's corporate processes, from a partnership perspective, in line with the Group's strategic objectives, coordinated by the Corporate Risk function. On the basis of this inventory, each company analyses the events that could be a source of risk and opportunity, subsequently developing the respective treatment plans that mitigate/enhance the fulfilment of the strategic objectives, and in their planning and implementation, as well as in their monitoring and review, there can be a basis for collaboration between the business front line, the Business Units and those responsible for the corporate processes.
The PRMF is the basis for managing the risks and opportunities of a project throughout its life cycle, from the identification of the commercial opportunity to the closure and handover of the project to the Client.
In this way, the risk analysis carried out during the tender and execution phases makes it possible to compile qualitative and quantitative results, feeding into a set of key risk indicators (KRI) that will provide top management with relevant information for future business decision-making.
The Mota-Engil global risk survey is based on a list of emerging long-term risks that are not part of the Group's active risk management, for which top management and certain focal points are invited to assess their possible criticality in order to integrate them, or not, into the Group's future risk management.
As of 31 December 2024 and for the year then ended, the main risks to which the Group was subject are described below:
The ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine and in Palestine became a large geopolitical challenge, constituting a reason for great concern as they represent one of the main uncertainties to global economy, insofar such conflicts, of a regional geographic basis, have had and may continue to have repercussions on a global scale, such as political instability, disturbances to the supply chain, new fluctuations to prices of food, fuel, fertilisers and other commodities.
The War in Ukraine, still with no end in sight due to the lack of significant advances in the peace negotiations continues to be a topic of discussion regarding the military and financial support on part of the European Union and the United States of America, now takes on a distinct dynamic. This conflict will keep on contributing to the volatility in oil and gas prices, with Russia continuing to cut supply to countries imposing sanctions on it, thus directly affecting global economy.
As regards the conflict in Palestine, it is causing various negative impacts to the global economy, particularly regarding the trade networks and commodity markets, since Israel performs a significant role in the global supply chain, acting as an important commercial hub in the Middle East.
Despite the ceasefire periods, they are not enough to make a more precise prevision of the end of that conflict, which is heavily dependent upon international support, in particular the United States of America.
The tensions and disruptions caused by these two conflicts, their extension over time and their potential escalation may affect once more the trade, production and tariff and tax policies all over the world, creating a negative impact to the proper functioning of supply chains and causing a step back in the globalisation process, with the increase in the protectionism of various countries in international trade.
In view of the above impacts, any of the situations described could have a material adverse impact on the Mota-Engil Group's business, financial condition and operating results.
The country's risk, measured in different dimensions for each of the markets where the Mota-Engil Group is present, is associated with changes or specific disturbances of a political, economic or financial nature that may prevent the achievement of strategic objectives undertaken by the Group.
With a diversified geographic exposure and depth of maturity in most representative markets, the Group has still sought, over the past few years, to promote its expansion in countries integrated in the regions where it carries out its business, allocating to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors the ultimate responsibility for providing the necessary validation of any investment project in new markets, being on its own, although complemented with technical and economic and financial analysis, an organizational premise that promotes an effective internal control system, mitigating risks and promoting a strategic alignment at all levels of the Group.
Therefore, on a political, economic and financial level, in the regions where the Group carried out its activity, the following facts stand out:
The year of 2024 showed a global economic recovery, albeit below the expectations and asymmetric among the various regions, including as regards inflation. Additionally, in 2024 the approaches to the monetary policies on part of the main Central Banks of the developed economies revealed flexibility cycles with the reduction of key interest rates. Despite the global growth, which according to the IMF was of 3.2% in 2024, many challenges were faced throughout the year, including structural challenges with regard to population ageing, low productivity, disturbances to production and transport of commodities, particularly of oil, exchange rate fluctuations, geopolitical conflicts and extreme weather phenomena.
In terms of commodities, 2024 was marked by price volatility and the same trend is expected for the next two years, according to the IMF. In the case of oil, the IMF expects prices to rise as a result of growing demand from emerging economies, as well as the cut in production announced by OPEC. The price of metals, such as copper and gold, is expected to be impacted by the slowdown in the global economy and the energy transition with the search for green solutions. Finally, in 2024 there was a drop in the price of natural gas, and in 2025 global prices should reach their lowest level in five years, according to the World Bank.
Regarding inflation, IMF's predictions point to an annual average of 5.8% in 2024 and 4.3% in 2025, with the most advanced economies reaching their targets sooner than the emerging and developing economies.
According to the same source, advanced economies are expected to grow by 1.8 per cent in 2024 and 2025, while emerging economies are expected to slow down to 4.2 per cent in 2024 and 2025.
On the other hand, for the eurozone, the IMF predicts growth of 0.8 per cent for 2024 and 1.2 per cent for 2025, growth induced by the recovery in private consumption, improved purchasing power, lower interest rates and an increase in public and private investment. For Portugal, growth is expected to fall to 1.9 per cent in 2024, with a recovery to 2.3 per cent in 2025.
For Sub-Saharan Africa, GDP is expected to increase from 3.6% in 2024 to 4.2% in 2025, as the adverse impacts resulting from climate shocks are mitigated and restrictions to the offer gradually decrease. However, there are still various challenges concerning the high level of inflation, high financing costs, standards of living, poverty, lack of opportunities and with regard to governance. In this way, Nigeria is expected to experience an economic growth of 2.9% in 2024 and of 3.2% in 2025, Angola is forecasted to see an economic growth of 2.4% in 2024 and of 2.8% in 2025 whereas the economic growth in Mozambique is expected to reach 4.3% in 2024 and 2025.
On the other hand, for Latin America, the IMF predicts economic growth of 2.1 per cent in 2024 and 2.9 per cent in 2025. In Brazil, economic growth is expected to be around 3.0% in 2024, driven by consumption and private investment, but due to a still restrictive monetary policy and expectations of a slowdown in the labour market, economic growth is expected to be moderate in 2025 (2.2%). In Mexico, economic growth is expected to be 1.5 per cent in 2024, as a result of the weakening of domestic demand due to a restrictive monetary policy, and a slowdown to 1.3 per cent in 2025 as a result of a restrictive fiscal policy. As for Peru, economic growth is forecast at 3.0 per cent in 2024 and a slowdown to 2.6 per cent in 2025.
Mota-Engil, as a holding company (SGPS), carries out direct and indirect management activities on its subsidiaries, with operations in diversified business areas, including engineering and construction, waste collection and treatment, energy generation and commercialisation, management of transport infrastructure concessions and the provision of industrial engineering services, operating in various markets and regions (Europe, Africa and Latin America).
The fulfilment of the obligations assumed by Mota-Engil depends on the funds made available by the companies in which it participates and through which it carries out indirect activities, namely regarding the distribution of dividends, of payment of interest, of reimbursement of loans granted or of other payments.
The ability of those subsidiaries to make these funds available to Mota-Engil shall partially depend on their capacity to generate positive cash flows within the scope of their operating activities, which are subject, in particular, to risks specific of the sectors and markets in which they act, and which are detailed as follows.
A significant part of the Mota-Engil Group's engineering and construction companies depend on the formation of their cost structure on the evolution of international prices of some commodities, such as oil, steel and cement, among others, and on the evolution of local prices, namely the evolution of labour costs. Although there are price balancing mechanisms in place in the contracts established with clients, adverse variations and increased price volatility could have a negative impact on the Group.
On the other hand, the Group's companies are subject to risks of a contractual nature, since they provide a significant portion of their services under specific contracts framed into sectoral legislation and regulations which, in turn, are conditional to the obtainment of a general permit and of specific licences for certain activities/tasks. The occurrence of default or contractual breach situations can have negative relevant effects on contractual management and on the compliance with the object of the contract concluded.
Additionally, the Group is exposed to risks associated with the supply chain and logistics in the markets where it operates (especially in Africa and Latin American). These risks assume particular relevance, with the logistics component of transport of people, equipment, parts and materials (diesel, iron, concrete and others) constituting a relevant challenge in large projects, since it is necessary to predict as reliably as possible their cost and implementation time in the budgets and deadlines to provide to the clients. The suspension or the delay in the supply chain may negatively impact the development of the works and the provision of services in the aforementioned markets.
In turn, in Latin America, due to the terrain type, the activities carried out by the Group give rise to increased execution risks, mining works or infrastructure construction and maintenance works being carried out at altitudes above 2,000 or even 5,000 meters, which makes it difficult to transport the respective means of production, which brings about consequences in terms of productivity.
In this way, the economic profitability targets set by the Group for engineering and construction projects differ from region to region, depending on the circumstances and specific contexts, and are more demanding for regions that require a greater intensity of their own means of production and capital to carry out these projects.
Similarly, the companies of the Group engaged in other business areas, namely waste collection, and treatment, also depend, as regards the formation of their cost structure, upon the evolution of the international prices of commodities, with an emphasis on oil, as well as, in a highly sensitive and direct manner, the evolution of local prices, particularly labour. Both variables, price of oil and local price of labour, are necessarily monitored with detail in the various countries in which the Group operates in this sector.
The demand for engineering and construction activity in the markets where the Mota-Engil Group operates depends on the levels of public and private investment recorded in these markets.
In the medium term, the high level of indebtedness of certain States or private entities may have a negative impact on investment in infrastructure.
Public investment in new infrastructure projects depends on the political cycles of each market, the respective budgetary policies in force at any given time, as well as the macroeconomic context, factors which the Group neither controls nor can influence. Investment in public-private partnerships also depends on the public investment strategy of each market and the conditions of the national and international financial markets.
Private investment in infrastructure depends, among other factors, on the evolution of the international prices of some commodities, particularly the price of oil, gas and minerals in general, whose evolution the Group neither controls nor can condition.
Additionally, the Group's engineering and construction companies are exposed to significant competition. As such, due to their size, many of the projects developed in the Africa and Latin America regions attract various global companies of the sector, which increases the competitive landscape in those markets and brings about negative impacts to the Group's chances of being contracted for carrying out such projects. The size of many of the projects developed in Africa and Latin America attracts several global companies in the sector, which increases the competitive environment in these markets and has an adverse impact on the Group's chances of being contracted to carry out these projects.
A context of greater business competition increases the pressure on market prices and, consequently, on the margins achieved, which may have more or less continuous effects over time depending on the size and maturity of the market, the growth experienced and the expectations and behaviour of the economic agents involved.
However, the Group's companies have been demonstrating the ability a market position that does not rely solely to pricebased strategies, enhancing its experience, technical and human capacity, as well as high standards of quality, environmental, security and compliance practices. Additionally, those differentiating factors have enabled to continuously and sustainably reinforce our clients' trust and loyalty, which is reflected not only in their stable and growing basis and recurrent business established with the clients but also in the replication of business with multinational clients in geographies where those clients and the Group are present.
Due to its geographical diversification, with a presence in 3 continents and 21 countries, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, particularly interest rate, exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks. These financial risks result from the Group's activities and lead to uncertainties about its ability to generate cash flows and adequate returns on equity.
The Group's financial risk management policy aims to minimise adverse impacts and effects arising from the uncertainty that characterizes the financial markets. This uncertainty, which is reflected in various aspects, requires special attention and specific and effective management measures.
The financial risk management activity is coordinated by the Corporate Treasury function, which coordinates and monitors treasury and debt portfolio management, with the aid and support of the Corporate Treasury function, and is carried out according to the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, with the advisory interventions of the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, while remaining the responsibility of the management of each of the Group's business units.
The Group's approach to financial risk management is conservative, using risk hedging instruments when advisable, always with a view to these being related to normal, day-to-day business, and never taking positions in derivatives or other financial instruments that are speculative in nature.
The various types of financial risk are interrelated and the various management measures adopted are intended to ensure that the same objective is pursued, i.e. safeguarding assets and reducing the volatility of cash flows and expected returns.
The Group's financial debt, mostly denominated in euros, is indexed to interest rates whose variations can result in losses.
The interest rate risk management policy aims to optimise the cost of debt and achieve a low level of volatility in financial charges, i.e. it seeks to control and mitigate the risk of incurring losses resulting from variations in the interest rates to which the Group's financial debt is indexed. It should be noted at this level that the strategy of allocating debt to local markets, close to the generation of cash flow, has contributed to a diversification of currencies in terms of taking on debt, although contracted very significantly in currencies such as the euro and the US dollar or indexed to them.
In this way, the Group will continue to analyse and evaluate in due course the contracting of hedging instruments, whenever possible and advisable, to ensure future changes in interest rates.
Considering its geographical diversity, the Group operates its business on an international scale through various companies and entities, a position which results in the Group's exposure to different currencies and, consequently, to exchange rate risk.
It should be noted that, regarding the analysis of the exchange rate risk, there is a continuous and systematic monitoring of the variations to which the Group is subjected. This monitoring is the responsibility of the corporate treasury and business control functions, which consolidate and report information from all the companies present in the various geographies, in terms of flows, balances and debt.
The main currencies other than Euro to which the Group's activity is exposed are the US Dollar, the Malawian Kwacha, the Angolan Kwanza, the Mozambican Metical, the Nigerian Naira, the South African Rand, the Peruvian Nuevo Sol, the Colombian Peso, the Mexican Peso and the Brazilian Real.
The exchange rate risk management policy is aimed at reducing volatility in investments and operations expressed in foreign currency (currencies other than Euro) so as to contribute to a lesser sensitivity of profit and loss to exchange rate fluctuations.
The Group's exchange rate risk is summarized in two ways:
Contracts with clients, financial debt, wages, subcontracts, purchase of equipment and overall supplies are commitments which, when realised in a currency other than Euro are associated with an exchange rate risk. As a result, adverse fluctuations of exchange rates could lead to a change in the relative value of net assets whose payment currency is different from the Group's functional currency.
In terms of exchange rate risk management, whenever possible or advisable, natural hedging of exposure is sought through the use of financial debt denominated in the foreign currency in which the amounts at risk are expressed. Whenever this is not possible or appropriate, other operations based on derivative instruments are contracted or carried out, structured to minimise their cost, namely to hedge risks in future exchange transactions with a high degree of certainty as to amounts and date of realisation. It should also be noted that a significant proportion of the contracts executed by the Group are denominated in euros or US dollars, and whenever possible the exchange rate is indexed to the value of the contract registered in national currency, in order to eliminate any risk of volatility with loss of value.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of Group companies not being able to settle or fulfil their obligations within the stipulated timeframe. In this sense, the management of this risk involves maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents, as well as negotiating credit limits to ensure the financial means necessary to settle commitments when they become due.
The Group's engineering and construction companies have more significant liquidity needs, given the payment deadlines in the industry from the moment the work is carried out until it is converted into cash.
The Group's liquidity risk management policy aims to ensure that there are sufficient funds available (balances and incoming financial flows) at any given time in the Group to enable it to meet all its financial commitments (outgoing financial flows) in due course.
Achieving high levels of financial flexibility, which is fundamental to managing this risk, has been pursued through the following management measures:
Establishment of partnership relationships with the financing entities, ensuring their financial support to the Group from a medium and long-term perspective, regardless of the context that may condition business;
Contracting and maintaining short-term surplus credit lines, which are liquidity reserves, available for use at any time;
Carrying out rigorous financial planning per company, materialised in the preparation and periodic review of cash budgets, making it possible to forecast future cash surpluses and deficits in advance;
Financing investments in the medium and long term, adjusting debt maturities and the payment plan for liabilities resulting from financing to the cash flow generation capacity of each project or company;
Beginning the process of negotiating the refinancing of medium and long-term loans maturing during the year at least one year in advance of their maturity;
Contracting medium and long-term financing in order to reduce its dependence on more volatile short-term funds and create some immunisation to cyclical factors in the financial markets;
Staggering the maturity of financial debt over time, endeavouring to extend the average maturity of the debt to make it more in line with the cycle of freeing up resources and the degree of permanence of some long-term assets held by the Group;
Search for new financing sources and new financiers with the purpose of:
Geographical diversification capturing resources in the different markets where the Group operates; and
Additionally, the current Strategic Plan "BUILDING 26 | For a sustainable future" places sustainability and innovation among the Mota-Engil Group's key priorities, which, jointly with other four strategic goals, will enable the Group to affirm itself as a global company focused on delivering value to all stakeholders in a sustainable way.
This sustainable development guideline is increasingly seen as a critical factor in investment decisions by market participants, in the focus of action by regulators and supranational institutions and in scrutiny by society in general. Economic performance is no longer the only, and sometimes even the most important, criterion for evaluating companies. Profit is no longer understood as the purpose per se of a company, but rather the result of identifying and materialising a purpose through which the company brings a benefit to society.
Thus, continuing the issue of bonds linked to sustainability, in 2024 Mota-Engil again carried out a new issue called 'Mota-Engil Sustainability Bonds 2024-2029', the amount of which totalled around 80 million euros. These operations have enabled the Group to finance its current activity and international expansion, intensify the diversification of its sources of financing and maintain an adequate maturity of its debt.
Associated with these bond issuesis the Mota-Engil Group's commitment to reduce the incidence rate of labour accidents in the projects it is carrying out, as well as to promote local talent in management positions. If the established performance targets are not met, there will be an additional remuneration per bond, to be paid on the date of the final repayment.
Due to the nature of its activities, the Group is exposed to credit risk, i.e. the risk of not receiving, or not receiving in full, its receivables from third parties within the established and/or negotiated deadlines.
The credit risk to which the activities of the Mota-Engil Group are exposed is operating and cash-related in nature and is mostly concerned with accounts receivable resulting from the regular development of its various activities, with those executed in the African region, particularly in the Angolan market, being worthy of attention.
The significant development of the Group's activity in Africa and Latin America has in part been fuelled by the development of a close business strategy, focused on a large and growing number of clients, spread across various business areas and geographic poles, which has been dispersing and mitigating the risk.
In addition, some of the Group's largest ongoing projects have some of the world's largest private conglomerates as promoters, which gives added security in terms of financial strength and credit coverage. The growing number of infrastructure projects in Africa and Latin America, supported by multilateral entities that act as financiers for projects that promote economic and social development, and the use of credit insurance from reputable specialised insurance companies, also ensure additional comfort in terms of credit risk.
Lastly, despite the increased tendency in recent years to develop larger projects, the Group has a very significant dispersion of its commercial relationships, often relying on advance payments for these projects, which also significantly reduces credit risk.
In the main sector of activity in which the Group operates (Engineering and Construction), occupational accidents are absolutely undeniable, and the Group is subject to legal provisions on health, safety at work and occupational risks.
Occupational health and safety ('OHS') risk management is coordinated by the OHS areas of the Group's different companies, thus guaranteeing an effective framework for preventing and minimising accidents and health problems.
In order to meet the challenges posed by, on the one hand, the significant incidence of occupational risks in the various business areas and markets in which the Group operates and, on the other, the legal requirements associated with occupational health and safety, the Group has implemented a uniform methodology for identifying hazards and assessing risks in all these areas, in order to prioritise and define appropriate control measures.
This methodology starts by analysing the activities and operations to be carried out, taking into account the human resources to be employed, the equipment to be used, the materials to be incorporated and the constraints of the environment, identifying the associated dangers and risks. Once identified, the risks are assessed using a matrix that associates the probability of their occurrence with their severity.
At the same time, in terms of analysing the risks, opportunities and impacts associated with the double materiality exercise, the following material topics associated with this area were identified:
In this way, and in line with the best international practices and regulatory guidelines (e.g., ISO 45001:2018), the Group has implemented the following actions, among others, to mitigate and monitor the above-mentioned topics:
Finally, once implemented, these measures have been monitored to ensure their continuity, possible improvement and/or correction of any deviations.
Legal risks essentially arise from the Group's own activity, the assumption of legal obligations whose risk has not been adequately assessed, and/or minimized, which can generate financial impacts or increased litigation, as well as legal risks arising from the diversity of legal systems in which the Group is represented, as well as exposure to high levels of litigation.
The aim of the legal risk management policy is to ensure that the Group's companies comply with the applicable rules and regulations when carrying out their business, and that when negotiating and contracting, as well as mergers and acquisitions, they are advised by in-house and/or external lawyers, with a view to carrying out a prior assessment of the legal risk inherent in the operation in question, as well as finding legally admissible solutions to limit the risk to levels acceptable to the Group's management bodies.
The Group operates in several countries, with different legal systems and their own local characteristics, so the risk arising from this legal diversity is mitigated by the concern to have projects, negotiations and contracts accompanied by local lawyers, knowledgeable and qualified in the legal systems in question, with a view to complying with all applicable rules and regulations, avoiding adverse financial impacts or increased litigation.
The whole Group is monitored from a legal point of view and from the respective risk of labour, administrative, civil and tax-related litigation which may result in economic or reputational damage. n addition, there is special monitoring of the highest value and/or highest risk litigation, through the provision of quarterly information reported to the respective Corporate function by the markets and Business Units, with the aim of always having accurate and up-to-date information, as well as being able to identify legal situations in good time that require greater intervention and monitoring, with a view to minimising their effects.
To minimize the risk of the Group achieving high levels of litigation, pre-litigation management of disputes is done in order to, whenever possible, obtain out of court settlement. Notwithstanding, the Group, whenever deemed convenient, in particular considering the opinion of its lawyers, has challenged the claims made against it, wherefore, historically, the level of convictions has been low in the recent past.
Considering its presence in different markets (21 countries spread across three continents), the Group ensures at a technical and operational level that each company and each business unit complies with a multitude of its own normative requirements and regulations, both at a state level and at a sectoral (business) level, guaranteeing that it is technically and legally qualified to carry out the projects it proposes in the context of negotiations with its clients and other counterparties.
However, the Group does not control the flow of changes and reinforcement of obligations or other regulatory definitions to which it is subject, nor potential changes to the interpretation of such obligations and other regulatory definitions.
On the other hand, the Group's companies in the waste treatment and recovery segment, owned by EGF, are subject to a regulated tariff and the approval of the value of the regulated assets (BAR - Base of Regulated Assets) to which the RRA (Rate of Return on Assets) is applied by the Water and Waste Services Regulatory Authority ('ERSAR'), which constitutes a complex regulatory context, requiring a detailed monitoring effort by EGF itself.
Additionally, Mota-Engil SGPS is listed on the Portuguese stock exchange, in the main index, PSI, so it is inherently under the supervision of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM). Since it is a company with its shares listed on a regulated market, Mota-Engil SGPS is consequently subject to a specific set of laws and regulations subject to continuous updating.
Also within the scope of financial market supervision, there are also Mota-Engil SGPS bonds listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange, which are supervised by the Commission de Surveillance du Sector Financier.
In this way, the corporate Compliance function plays a key role in monitoring compliance with the various regulations and rules with which the Group is obliged to comply, thereby mitigating compliance risks. In addition, the other corporate functions monitor more specific matters, such as taxation, governance and other non-financial matters.
The assessment of compliance with policies and procedures, the effectiveness of internal controls and support in preventing and mitigating both control risks and compliance risks, implemented by the Group's management, are subject to verification, which translates into an analysis of the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss or reputation as a result of failure to comply with the application of laws, regulations and the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.
At the same time, in terms of analysing the risks, opportunities and impacts associated with the double materiality exercise, the following material topics associated with this area were identified:
The Group has therefore implemented the following actions, among others, to mitigate and monitor the topics mentioned above:
It should also be noted that in addition to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Mota-Engil Group has published and monitors compliance with the following internal procedures:
• Conflict of interest procedure.
Likewise, in addition to the legal and regulatory compliance associated with the activities carried out in each market by the Group's various companies, each employee is also made aware of the need to carry out their activities in accordance with the rules set out in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which was last revised in December 2023 and is available on the website at https://www.mota-engil.com/en/sustainability/code-of-ethics-and-business-conduct/.
Lastly, the Group has already implemented the necessary procedures to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and is constantly monitoring compliance through the Privacy Committee and the regional and business focal points appointed for this purpose.
The Group's business is exposed to environmental risks related to water collection and use, scarcity of natural resources, impacts on biodiversity, direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases and others, effluents and waste, and other environmental impacts resulting from the products and services provided.
Cross-cutting environmental risk management is carried out by the corporate Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) and Sustainability functions, and is operationalised by the SHEQ areas of the Group's different companies, which are committed to adopting sustainable and efficient practices in all areas of activity.
To this end, the Group has been strengthening its actions to promote responsible and proactive behaviour, distributing shared value for business, the environment and society, in areas considered to be priorities, such as waste management, resource preservation and emissions reduction.
In addition, in view of the need to adapt to growing regulatory requirements and recent European standards, EGF began a project at the end of 2023 to manage climate-related physical and transition risks, in line with the TCFD (Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures). This project, finalised at the end of 2024, and its conclusions, will be the starting point for its extension to the rest of the Mota-Engil universe.
The environmental risks to which the Group's companies are exposed may translate into fines and sanctions to be applied by governmental entities, negative impacts to reputation, penalties set out in contracts with clients and costs for remediation of environmental impacts caused.
Notwithstanding the approach to these types of risks, the Group cannot exclude the possibility that they may occur and, if they do, that they may adversely affect its business or the results of its activities.
At the same time, when analysing the risks, opportunities and impacts associated with the double materiality exercise, the following material topics associated with this area were identified:
The Group has thus implemented, among others, the following actions aimed at mitigating and monitoring the topics indicated above:
Global companies such as the Mota-Engil Group rely heavily on the area of information technology (IT) to carry out their processes and operations in the various businesses and geographies where they operate, as well as to ensure proper reliability in the control and reporting processes. To this end, the Group is constantly working to standardise platforms in order to increase the level of confidence in the use of IT and the transversality of processes.
Given the growing complexity of the Group's technology infrastructure, present in different geographies, information security has become an essential function of the IT mission.
Information security governance has different specificities and its own set of requirements. To this end, the Group has defined a governance policy for data management, access, profile identification, supervision and monitoring policies to support the internal control system, and has also strengthened the security quality of its systems, bringing them into line with international best practice.
To that effect, its disaster recovery plan has been monitored so as to improve the capacity to respond to a potential event with impact on its IT infrastructures.
Any failures in the technological and security systems of the information systems could make the Group's companies vulnerable to the risk of cyber attacks that could jeopardise the personal data held by the companies, accounting and financial data and strategic information. On the other hand, any failures in technological systems and information systems security could expose Group companies to fines and sanctions from regulators, information recovery costs, disruption in support areas and operational activities.
At the same time, when analysing the risks, opportunities and impacts associated with the double materiality exercise, the following material topic associated with this area was identified:
• Cybersecurity.
The Group has therefore implemented the following actions, among others, to mitigate and monitor the abovementioned topic:
Lastly, to date there has been no warning, fine or sanction from any governmental or regulatory body in relation to this issue.
1.3 ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 54
Inspiring Beyond Cultures
INTEGRATED REPORT 2024

(*) Includes others, eliminations and intragroup
In the year ended on 31 December 2024, the turnover (**) of the Group reached an unprecedented level, having risen to 5,951 million euros, an increase of approximately, 7% compared to the 2023 (5,552 million euros). Regarding the aforementioned performance, attention should be drawn to the heavily positive performance of the business units of Latin America - E&C, Africa - E&C and of Environment, having all shown a notable growth (8%, 15% and 10%, respectively).
Following on from the above, the Latin America - E&C business unit contributed the most to the Group turnover in 2024, with a contribution of 50% (50% in 2023), followed by Africa - E&C with 29% (27% in 2023) and Environment with 10% (9% in 2023).
On the other hand, in 2024, the E&C business (excluding the industrial engineering component) accounted for 82% of the Group turnover (82% in 2023).
(**) Turnover corresponds to the consolidated income statement by natures' caption of "Sales and services rendered".

In the year ended on 31 December 2024, supported by improved profitability in the engineering and construction area, the Group EBITDA reached 955 million euros, an increase of 14% compared to 2023 (837 million euros), which was positively influenced by the performance of Africa – E&C - growth of 41% and Environment - growth of 11%. As a result of the evolution of EBITDA and turnover, the EBITDA margin (EBITDA/Turnover) reached 16.0% in 2024 (15.1% in 2023).
On the other hand, in 2024, the E&C business (excluding the industrial engineering component) represented 73% of the total of the Group EBITDA (75% in 2023).
Regarding EBIT, this amounted to 586 million euros in 2024 (516 million euros in 2023), an increase of 14%, which was positively influenced by the increase in EBITDA and negatively influenced by the increase in provisions, part of which were associated with future charges for the guarantee period of projects.
As a result, the EBIT margin (EBIT/Turnover) reached 10% in 2024, an increase of 1 p.p. compared to 2023.

(*) Capex corresponds to the algebraic sum of increases and disposals of tangible assets, intangible assets, and right of use of assets during the year, excluding those relating to the concessions business of Mexico (Note 15).
(**) Medium and long-term contracts (LTC) correspond to industrial engineering contracts provided by Africa - E&C and to the energy business in Latin America - E&C.
In the year ended on 31 December 2024, the Group Capex arose to 511 million euros (513 million euros in 2023), of which approximately, 65% was channelled to growth investment and LTC, namely in Mozambique, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal.
On the other hand, in the 2024 financial year, the following should be highlighted: (i) the Capex/turnover ratio remained stable at 9%; (ii) the maintenance Capex/turnover ratio rose to about 1%; and (iii) the Environment business unit made investments of 74 million euros, 83% of which was allocated to the waste treatment and recovery segment (EGF).

As of 31 December 2024, the net debt1) amounted to 1,732 million euros, an increase of 557 million euros when compared to 31 December 2023, essentially due to heavy investment in equipment and concessions and by the aggravation of the working capital.
On the other hand, as of 31 December 2024, net debt plus factoring and payment management operations2 ), as well as leasing operations3 ), amounted to 2,410 million euros, an increase of 476 million euros compared to 31 December 2023, largely explained by the reasons indicated in the previous paragraph.
Despite the significant growth in activity seen in 2024, net debt has been carefully managed and controlled, which, together with the operating performance of the year, allowed the ratio comparing net debt with EBITDA over the last 12 months to reach 1.8x (1.4x as of 31 December 2023), in line with the target set in the Group Strategic Plan (below 2.0x).
Gross debt4) plus factoring and payment management operations, as well as, leasing operations, amounted to 2,982 million euros as of 31 December 2024, 72% of which was denominated in Euros and 61% exposed to variable rates. On the other hand, the ratio comparing gross debt with EBITDA over the last 12 months reached 3.1x (3.3x as of 31 December 2023), in line with the target set in the Group Strategic Plan (below 4.0x).
In addition, as of 31 December 2024, the Group had contracted and unused credit lines of, approximately, 570 million euros, bringing the total amount of liquidity5) to 1,142 million euros, equivalent to the non-revolving liabilities falling due in the next 3 years.
Moreover, in 2024, attention should also be drawn to the establishing of various financing operations with development banks, namely in Africa (Africa Export-Import Bank, Trade & Development Bank, Africa Finance Corporation, International Finance Corporation and Africa Development Bank).
Lastly, in the year ended 31 December 2024, already net of dividend distributions made to shareholders, the Group strengthened its equity by, approximately, 103 million euros, reaching a ratio of total equity total assets of 11%.
1) Net debt corresponds to the algebraic sum of the following captions of the consolidated statement of financial position: "Cash and cash equivalents without recourse – Demand deposits", "Cash and cash equivalents with recourse – Demand deposits", " ther financial applications", " ther financial investments recorded at amortized cost", "Loans without recourse" and "Loans with recourse". It should be noted that the leasing, the factoring and the supplier payment management operations established by the Group are not accounted under the aforementioned captions.
2) Factoring and payment management operations are recorded in the consolidated statement of the financial position under the caption " ther financial liabilities". 3) Leasing operations are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position under the captions "Lease liabilities".
4) Gross debt corresponds to the algebraic sum of net debt with the balances of the following captions of the consolidated statement of financial position: "Cash and cash equivalents without recourse – Demand deposits", "Cash and cash equivalents with recourse – Demand deposits", " ther financial applications" and " ther financial investments recorded at amortized cost".
5) Liquidity corresponds to the algebraic sum of the following captions of the consolidated statement of financial position: "Cash and cash equivalents without recourse – Demand deposits, "Cash and cash equivalents with recourse – Demand deposits", " ther financial applications" and " ther financial investment recorded at amortized cost" with the amount of contracted but not used credit lines by the Group.

In the year ended 31 December 2024, financial results amounted to -277 million euros, a variation of 101 million euros compared to 2023 (-176 million euros), due, on the one hand, by the significant reduction in positive exchange differences (approximately 52,300 thousand euros in 2023 and, approximately, 3,300 thousand euros in 2024) and, on the other hand, by the increase in net financial charges.
In terms of net financial charges (interest expenses – interest income), these amounted to -218 million euros in the year ended 31 December 2024, higher than in 2023 (-187 million euros), mainly due to the strategy of raising more financing in local currencies, thus allowing for a natural hedge, but with a higher cost, as well as, a higher interest rate environment, especially in the first half of the year.

In the year ended on 31 December 2024, the item Gains/ (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies (included in the column "Financials and ains/ (losses) in disposals" in the chart above) amounted to 80 million euros (40 million euros in 2023), essentially influenced by the capital gain generated from the disposal, in 2024, of two motorway concessionaire companies in Mexico (Concessionária Cardel Poza Rica and Concessionária Tuxpan-Tampico), following up on the asset rotation policy defined by the Group.
In the year ended 31 December 2024, the item Gains / (losses) in associates and joint ventures companies contributed 8 million euros to the net profit (15 million euros in 2023), a decrease of approximately 7 million euros, mainly due to the steady performance of Lineas and Martifer, but negatively affected by the launching of operations of some concessionaire companies in Africa and Latin America.
Regarding income tax, this amounted to 138 million euros in the year ended 31 December 2024 (130 million euros in 2023), and this increase was justified by the improvement in profitability and profit before tax. On the other hand, in 2024, the effective tax rate (Income tax/Income before tax) amounted to 34% (for more information on this matter, we recommend reading Note 12 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements).
Lastly, non-controlling interests (NCI) amounted to 151 million euros in the year ended 31 December 2024, a decrease of 2 million euros compared to 2023 (153 million euros), being these ones essentially generated in Mexico, Angola and Nigeria.
As a result of the operational and financial performance, the consolidated net profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 reached a record 123 million euros, an increase of 8% compared to the 2023 year (113 million euros), with the net margin1 amounting to 2.1% (2.0% in 2023).
1) Net margin corresponds to the ratio between the following items of the consolidated income statement by natures: "Consolidated net profit of the year attributable to the roup" and "Sales and services rendered".

Backlog(*) as of 31 December 2024 reached 15.6 billion euros, thus registering once again an unprecedented figure, with a growth of 21% compared to 31 December 2023, with the volume of contracts in the year of approximately 8 billion euros, mostly from large-scale projects. On the other hand, as of 31 December 2024, the business units of Africa - E&C and Latin America - E&C contributed approximately 92% to the total backlog.
The award of the following projects, among others, contributed to the above performance:
As a result, as of 31 December 2024, the "backlog/sales and services rendered" ratio for the &C business reached 2.9 years, not including the contract awarded but not yet signed, associated with the first section of the high-speed train between Porto and Lisbon.
On the other hand, as of 31 December 2024, the Group core markets contributed 73% to its total backlog, with Angola being the market with the largest portfolio (21% of the total), followed by Mexico (20%) and Nigeria (13%).
Additionally, it should also be highlighted that industrial engineering already contributes with 25% to the total backlog, whose projects present maturities between five and seven years.
Lastly, as of 31 December 2024, the Environment business contributed 235 million euros to the Group backlog, which does not include the foreseeable revenue from the waste treatment and recovery contracts of EGF, which still has a residual maturity of 10 years, having reached in 2024 a turnover of 349 million euros.
(*) Turnover ans contracts to be executed. IE – Industrial engineering

The Africa - E&C business unit includes engineering and construction activities, as well as the provision of industrial engineering services, which the Group carries out, essentially, in Angola, Mozambique, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Guinea Conakry and Nigeria.
In the year ended 31 December 2024, as a result of the start-up and acceleration of some important projects in the Group core markets, turnover reached 1,748 million euros, an increase of 15% compared to 2023 (1,518 million euros).
In this regard, the markets of Côte d'Ivoire, ganda, South Africa and Nigeria stand out, with turnover increases of more than 20% between financial years. On the other hand, in the year ended 31 December 2024, Angola, Mozambique and Nigeria contributed 60% of Africa – &C's total turnover (62% in 2023).
Regarding operating profitability, EBITDA for Africa - E&C in the year ended 31 December 2024 amounted to 453 million euros, an increase of 41% compared to 2023 (321 million Euro), with the EBITDA margin reaching 26% (21% in 2023), positively influenced by the remarkable performance of industrial engineering.
Additionally, in the year ended 31 December 2024, it should be noted that Angola, Mozambique and Nigeria contributed 62% to the total EBITDA of Africa - E&C (72% in 2023).
Finally, in the year ended 31 December 2024, industrial engineering services contributed 418 million euros to Africa - E&C turnover (24% of the total), with EBITDA of 125 million euros and an EBITDA margin of 30%.
Thus, in geographical and business terms, the following stands out:
In 2024, South Africa faced significant economic and social challenges that shaped the country's path. The persistent energy crisis, characterised by frequent power cuts, remained a focal point, hindering productivity in all sectors. This situation led to the increase in investment in renewable energy sources and to diversification initiatives to respond to the country's excessive dependency on coal. Politically, the general elections demonstrated the overall dissatisfaction with the government, the corruption and the public services, escalating social pressures. Despite these challenges, the government implemented reforms in the labour legislation with the purpose of improving equality in the labour force and protecting the temporary workers, in an effort to overcome the systemic inequalities.
In this context, the construction and mining sectors were directly influenced by these national dynamics. As such, the government investments in infrastructures increased, being aimed at critical areas such as social housing, roads and railway, in order to stimulate economic growth. Consequently, the public-private partnerships (PPP) were highlighted as a preferential model for financing and executing large-scale projects, especially in the areas of transportation and energy. In parallel, the sector underwent a change towards sustainability, with green construction practices and eco-efficient materials gaining traction, boosted by stricter environmental regulations and tax incentives. However, the increase in interest rates and high financing costs represented obstacles to the beginning and conclusion of new construction projects.
Looking forward, the prospects for 2025 and upcoming years seem cautiously optimistic. This way, South Africa is expected to continue to diversity its energy matrix, with a greater focus on solar, wind and natural gas projects to mitigate its dependency on Eskom. This energy transition will therefore certainly unlock opportunities in the infrastructure sector, especially in the development of renewable energies. Additionally, the efforts to reinvigorate the economy through job creation initiatives in the manufacturing industry, in the tech and construction sectors, will probably bring about an environment more suitable to the growth of the construction and mining sectors.
However, navigating through the regulatory complexities will remain a priority for companies. The new tax and labour-related regulations, aimed at increasing transparency and accountability, will require companies to adapt their strategies and ensure compliance. The evolving political and economic scenario, together with the reforms underway, also poses challenges and provides opportunities to the players in the sector.
Lastly, for the construction and mining international companies, such as the Mota-Engil Group, the strategic position of South Africa as a gateway to regional markets, together with its needs for infrastructure development, makes it a market of significant potential. However, success will depend on the adaptability, sustainability and capacity to establish efficient partnerships in an environment of opportunities and uncertainties.
In 2024, Angola reinforced its position as one of the main hubs of investment in infrastructures in Southern Africa, reinforcing its strategic importance in the region. The historical visit of the President of the USA, Joe Biden, to the country constituted a significant milestone, symbolising the growing international interest for the economic potential of Angola. During his visit, Biden travelled to the province of Benguela, where he observed first-hand the infrastructure of the Lobito Corridor, a project crucial to the development of the regional trade and the integration of Angola into the international logistics chains. This visit emphasised the geopolitical relevance of the country and its role in the development of transport and energy infrastructures.
On the other hand, the construction sector remained dynamic, leveraged by strategic investments in urban mobility, housing and regeneration of public spaces. In this way, Mota-Engil Angola significantly expanded its portfolio of projects in Angola, securing new contracts representing approximately a thousand million uro. Among the projects gained, the "Design, Construction and Conclusion of Corimba Seafront Infrastructure", constituting an important initiative to revitalise the coastal area of Luanda, and the " egeneration of the eneral Infrastructure of the Nova Vida Housing Development in the Municipality of Kilamba Kiaxi", which will contribute to improve the standard of living of thousands of dwellers, are worthy of note. These projects reflect the Company's ongoing commitment to the promotion of the sustainable development in the country.
Additionally, the Angolan government continued to promote economic diversification, with a strong focus on attracting private investment in order to modernise critical infrastructures. The focus on public private partnerships (PPP) and the attraction of foreign investors were crucial for boosting the construction sector. Besides, the energy sector and the rehabilitation of road and rail networks continue to be maximum priorities, creating opportunities for the engineering and construction companies with technical and financial capacity to execute large-sized projects.
Looking ahead to 2025, the prospects for the construction sector in Angola will be focused on the ongoing expansion of the infrastructure projects, together with reinforced international partnerships, which should foster new contracts and investment. The Lobito Corridor will continue to be an essential component of economic growth, with potential for new projects related to logistics and transport of cargo. At the same time, an increase of investment in accessible housing and urban modernisation is expected, in line with the population growth and the need for better living conditions.
With its presence firmly established in the country, Mota-Engil Angola is well positioned to continue to perform a strategic role in the development of infrastructures in Angola. The focus on innovation, sustainability and training of its workforce will constitute the main differentiating factors to maintain competitiveness in the market. In this way, with a strong pipeline of projects and a long-term commitment to the country's growth, the Company will strengthen its position as a leading partner in the transformation of the construction sector in Angola.
In 2024, Côte d'Ivoire reaffirmed its position as one of the main drivers of economic growth in Western Africa, supported by an ambitious agenda of infrastructure modernisation and expansion of the mining sector. Among the key events observed during the year, one of the highlights was the inauguration of the Resources and Energy International Fair (SIREXE), which represented a milestone for the sector, demonstrating the country's growing appeal to global investors and consolidating its status as a strategic centre for construction and mining.
Therefore, the mining sector continued its expansion in 2024, with significant progress in the gold, bauxite, and manganese extraction projects, reinforcing the competitiveness of Côte d'Ivoire in the global market of commodities. Similarly, the construction sector reflected that dynamism, with substantial investments in roads, ports and energy infrastructures — key elements to support industrial operations and reinforce logistics networks.
As such, the prospects for 2025 look promising, with an ongoing growth in the mining sector being expected, as a result of the planned opening of new mines, as well of the increase of the actual production capacity, therefore increasingly establishing Côte d'Ivoire as a player in the global supply of human resources. Also, the presidential elections scheduled for the end of 2025 shall constitute a crucial moment to ensure political stability and maintain the trajectory of economic development policies. Therefore, the operators in the construction and mining sectors will closely monitor these developments, since institutional stability is fundamental for sustaining investment flows.
Finally, the Mota-Engil Group, with its widespread international presence, is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities that will arise in the country, maintaining a strong commitment to sustainable practices, technologic innovation and reinforcement of local partnerships, factors which will continue to be essential pillars of its success in the region.
In 2024, Guinea consolidated its position as an important infrastructure and mining investment hub in Western Africa. As such, the construction sector continued to perform a vital role in economic growth, leveraged by public and private initiatives. Important projects, such as the initial earthworks and the construction of accesses in Simandou - one of the largest iron ore reserves in the world - and the conclusion of the extension of the contract for the provision of industrial services in Mandiana, confirmed the growing presence of Mota-Engil in the country. Such initiatives therefore reinforced the role of Guinea as a natural resource extraction and export centre, while simultaneously promoting job creatin and stimulating the local economy.
In parallel, the mining sector has brought about significant and sustained investments in supporting infrastructures, such as roads, railways and ports, which are essential to export the iron ore, gold and bauxite. At the same time, the Guinean government has prioritised the modernisation of the logistics and energy networks to ensure a reliable supply of power, both for industrial operations and local communities. These advancements reflect the overnment's commitment to attracting international investors and increasing the country's competitiveness in the global market. AS for Mota-Engil Guiné-Conacri, it played a pivotal role in this dynamic environment, consolidating its presence through flagship projects and strategic partnerships that reinforced the trust in the sector.
For 2025, the Guinean government maintains a clear agenda for the development of critical infrastructures and economic diversification. The priority projects include the expansion of logistics corridors, such as roads and railways, as well those associated with the increase of energy capacity to meet the growing demands of the industrial sectors and local populations. Besides, the speeding-up of the large-scaled mining projects — particularly in bauxite, iron and gold — should place Guinea as one of the main world suppliers of strategic goods.
In this way, Mota-Engil Guiné-Conacri, with its expertise in construction and mining, is well positioned to take advantage of those opportunities. Its commitment to sustainable practices, with the formation of its local workforce and the reinforcement of strategic partnerships will continue to be at the heart of its operations in the country, contributing to the creation of economic and social value, through an integrated and responsible approach.
In 2024, Malawi was faced with a context marked by economic and climatic challenges, having, however, maintained its development trajectory through the realisation of strategic investments in infrastructures and mining. In this way, the Malawi government continued to promote modernisation initiatives, prioritising projects aimed at improving roads, transport networks and energy supply — key elements for the modernisation of a sustainable growth.
Despite the obstacles, political stability and the efforts made to attract international investors reinforced the potential for the economic development of the country. Therefore, the mining sector made significant progress in 2024 with initiatives aimed at the extraction of strategic minerals, such as uranium, coal and rare-earth elements drawing global attention. On the other hand, the construction sector played a fundamental role in the feasibility of projects related to mining exploration projects, including the development of roads, bridges and industrial facilities that supported the extraction and the transport of resources. In addition to that, the governmental policies for sustainability and the inclusion of local companies similarly contributed to the creation of a more competitive and inclusive environment.
Looking ahead to 2025, even though Malawi faces substantial challenges, it also presents a vast array of opportunities in the construction and mining sectors, supported by strategic investments and favourable policies. In this way, overcoming the structural and environmental barriers will be crucial so that the country reinforces its positioning as an attractive destination for investors and partners in the long term.
In 2024, the Mozambican economy showed resilience and even a solid growth, positioning the country among the economies of fastest growths in the world. This performance was mostly leveraged by the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG), with a significant contribution of the projects led by Total Energies and ExxonMobil in Cabo Delgado. However, those projects not only boosted GDP but also created substantial job opportunities, highlighting the importance of the energy sector as a driver for growth.
On the other hand, in 2024, the construction and mining sectors were faced with various challenges and opportunities. In this way, the construction sector significantly benefitted from infrastructure projects connected to the development of LNG, including roads, ports, housing and industrial facilities. At the same time, the public infrastructure projects — supported by international partners like the European Union, the World Bank and the African Development Bank — enhanced the improvement of the connectivity and access to essential services. However, the political uncertainties surrounding the general election of 2024, together with the inflationary pressures and the increase in the costs of some raw materials, shaped the pace of the investments of the private sector.
Where the mining sector is concerned, it continued its upward trajectory, boosted by the global demand for essential minerals, such as coal and rare-earth elements. On the other hand, the efforts to diversify the energy portfolio of Mozambique also gained momentum, with the projects focused on renewable energy and solar and wind farms drawing the most attention. In this respect it is worth mentioning the government's announcement to implement an ambitious plan for the installation of solar power plants in at least five regions by 2030, with the support of international funding.
However, Mozambique was faced with significant obstacles in 2024. The general election led to widespread allegations of electoral fraud, generating social and political unrest that eroded the investors' trust. These tensions increased the sovereign credit risk and constituted challenges to the funding of essential public and private projects, especially in construction and infrastructures. Besides, the country keeps grappling with challenges related to climate, including the consequences of recent cyclones, which has required resilience in the reconstruction efforts.
Looking ahead to 2025, Mozambique's prospects of growth depend on the ongoing expansion of the production of L N and the large-scale investments to be made in infrastructures. Additionally, the mining sector is expected to maintain its pace, with new projects, whereas the initiatives aimed at renewable energies are in line with the global energy transition trends. Having said that, the political and economic stability, following the controversial election of 2024, will be fundamental for shaping the investors' feeling and unleashing all the country's potential.
Moreover, inflation should register a slight decrease in 2025, providing some relief to the construction and industry sectors, which are overburden with the high costs of the materials. Additionally, the public investments in infrastructures are expected to increase, but the challenges in the mobilisation of national and international funding will continue to persist. Lastly, the government's capacity to implement structural reforms and foster an environment that is favourable to the companies will be crucial to sustain growth and attract foreign direct investment.
For the Mota- ngil roup, the Mozambican market offers opportunities and challenges. In this way, the roup's solid experience and its deep knowledge of the local landscape enable it to navigate through the uncertainties and capitalise on the emerging opportunities. With a strategic focus on sustainable practice, innovation and involvement with the respective stakeholders, Mota-Engil in Mozambique continues committed to boosting the social and economic development of the country, while simultaneously adding value to its stakeholders.
In 2024, Nigeria witnessed a dynamic economic scenario characterised by bold reforms in the budgetary and monetary policies. Consequently, the government implemented exchange rate adjustments and eliminated subsidies with the aim of stabilising the economy and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). Despite these measures, inflation remained a significant problem, exerting strong pressure on the cost of construction materials and on project funding. Furthermore, to overcome the economic obstacles, the Nigerian government intensified the collaboration with international financial institutions to ensure the funding of essential infrastructure projects.
On the other hand, matters related to safety in Nigeria continued to pose challenges, particularly in the Northern region, where the persistent unrest brought about interruptions to the logistics and extended the projects' timelines. However, the governmental initiatives focused on reinforcing security around relevant infrastructures projects presented tangible improvements, ensuring the continuity of the large investments. Lastly, the country's ongoing transition to renewable energy, with recourse to Public rivate artnerships ( ), underlined Nigeria's commitment to the development of sustainable and inclusive infrastructures.
In 2024, the construction and railway sectors reached outstanding milestones. In this respect, significant progress was reached in the Kano-Maradi Railway Project, a critical investment aimed at improving regional trade between Nigeria and Niger. Simultaneously, the revision of the procurement policies in the construction more targeted for local suppliers boosted a greater involvement of said suppliers in large-scaled infrastructure projects.
Despite these achievements, those sectors were faced with a variety of challenges. In this respect, persistent interruptions to the supply chain, explained by currency volatility and by the dependency on imported materials, overburdened the project schedules. Moreover, the funding of infrastructure large projects remained limited, with a growing dependency on the export credit agencies (ECA) and the development financial institutions. In this way, the resolution of these constraints will require innovative financing solutions and a greater collaboration on part of the stakeholders.
Looking ahead to 2025, the development agenda of Nigeria's infrastructure remains promising. The government is thus expected to prioritise transport infrastructures, especially the railways, in order to improve logistics and trade connectivity. Important corridors, like Lagos-Ibadan-Abuja, will probably attract private sector investment and PPP projects. On the other hand, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) may provide an additional boost, positioning Nigeria as a trade and logistics regional hub. Finally, policies favouring the local content to create opportunities so that the Nigerian contractors can establish partnerships with engineering and construction international companies, promoting therefore the transfer of knowledge and its empowerment.
The risks, however, persist. The exchange rate volatility may impact the costs of projects and complicate their financial structure. Therefore, the uncertainty surrounding the regulatory reforms in the railway sector, in particular about the participation of the private sector, requires thorough monitoring. Besides, the concerns with security in certain regions require robust risk management strategies to ensure the execution of the projects and the protection of the investment.
With that being said, for an international group such as the Mota-Engil Group, the Nigerian market offers significant opportunities for growth, despite the inherent challenges. In this way, leveraging its expertise and adopting adaptative strategies, Mota-Engil Nigeria is well positioned to navigate against a background of constant evolution, capitalising on the emerging opportunities and contributing to the social and economic development of the country. Lastly, the strategic focus on innovation, sustainability and local partnerships will be vital for the alignment with the performance targets for infrastructures of the country.
In 2024, Rwanda consolidated its positioning as one of the most dynamic markets of Eastern Africa, with the construction sector playing a crucial role in the economic growth of the country. As such, the infrastructure projects focused on roads, urban mobility and strategic buildings were prioritised both by the government and private investors. On the other hand, over the course of 2024, it is worth highlighting the progress made in the construction of the first stage of the Bugesera International Airport, executed by Mota-Engil, with the Company thus reaffirming its relevant role as a trustworthy party in large-sized projects.
Additionally, the government continued to focus on improving the connections between the rural and urban areas, recognising the importance of road infrastructures to facilitate the flow of agricultural products and boost domestic trade. In addition to that, the ongoing growth of tourism enhanced the construction of new hotels and the modernisation of the existing facilities, strengthening the position of Rwanda as a leading destination in the region. In parallel, the competition in the construction sector also intensified with the entry of new international players. However, the proven track record of technical competence and delivery of projects on part of Mota-Engil ensured its leadership as a strategic partner for the development of critical projects.
Moreover, the dynamism observed in the construction sector reflects the commitment of the Rwandan government to boosting economic development through investments in infrastructures of substantial impact. The business environment, characterised by political instability, clear regulations and a strong governmental support continued to attract international investors and partners.
Regarding 2025, the prospects are promising, with the Development National Plan prioritising large-sized projects. These include the expansion of the road and railway networks, to reinforce regional integration, the construction of hospitals and schools, to improve social indicators, and significant investments in the energy sector, especially in the renewable energies and expansion of the electric network.
Consequently, for a company as Mota-Engil, the opportunities are substantial. Therefore, the focus on strategic partnerships, the empowering of the local workforce and sustainable practices place the Company in a privileged position to capitalise on the potential for growth of the Rwandan market. Finally, the sustainability and the commitment to social responsibility will continue to constitute fundamental pillars, aligned with the development goals of the country.
In 2024, Senegal underwent significant events that shaped its political and economic landscape. The presidential election occurred during the year highlighted the democratic maturity of the country, promoting a stable environmental that is essential for developing economic activities. At the same time, the government adopted policies aimed at consolidating the investments in infrastructures and improving the regulatory framework of the country in order to attract foreign direct investment. Those efforts supported the economic resilience in the midst of global uncertainties, reinforcing Senegal's position as an important regional player in Western Africa.
In the mining sector, Senegal reached an unprecedented production of gold, leveraged by favourable policies, enhanced mining technologies and the expansion of the existing operations. This performance consolidated the status of the sector a critical pillar of the national economy, increasing the revenues from exports and generating job opportunities.
As such, the construction and mining sectors registered significant progress, with 2024 seeing the entry of Mota-Engil in the Senegalese market through the Boto project.
Looking ahead to 2025, the mining sector in Senegal is expected to reach larger growth, with the planned opening of new mines and with the ongoing investment in operating activities. These developments are thus expected to strengthen the contribution of the sector to the GDP and to position Senegal as competitive actor in the global mining industry. Where the construction sector is concerned, the government is focused on expanding its infrastructures, including roads and energy and urban development projects, which will generate opportunities for the local and international companies.
Lastly, the integration of sustainable practices and innovative technologies is likely to shape the next wave of investments, ensuring the long-term creation of value.
In 2024, Uganda registered significant economic and infrastructure improvements boosted by policies of a strategic nature and by international investments. Within this scope, it is worthy highlighting the direct foreign investment in activities related to the oil sector, with the Tilenga project and the crude oil pipeline of Western Africa (EACOP) playing a central role. On the other hand, in 2024 the Central Bank reduced the key interest rate to stimulate credit and the economic activity, which, together with a stable Shilling of Uganda, supported by exports, remittances and DFI, created a more favourable economic climate.
In the construction sector, 2024 represented a year of significant events. In fact, the infrastructure projects related to the oil sector (Tilenga and AC ) continued underway, demonstrating the government's commitment to leveraging its oil resources to bring about an economic transformation in the country. On the other hand, the conclusion of the construction agreement on a railway line of a standard gauge highlighted ganda's ambition to improve its regional trade connectivity. Additionally, the inauguration of the Karuma hydroelectric project significantly increased the country's energy capacity, improving the domestic supply of energy and allowing for exports of energy to the neighbouring countries. In this way, these developments stressed the vital role of the construction sector in the promotion of the country's economic resilience and integration.
Looking ahead to 2025, the anticipated start of oil production next year is expected to be a groundbreaking moment for ganda. Such event is thus expected to boost D growth, to increase the government's revenues and to improve exports' performance, creating a ripple effect throughout the economy. The infrastructure projects connected to oil production, including EACOP, will stimulate even further the economic activity and attract even more DFI. Additionally, the pre-election period of 2025 is also expected to bring about greater public investment in infrastructures, particularly in road networks, energy projects and railway systems.
Lastly, the inflation is expected to remain contained, supported by stable exchange rates, favourable weather conditions and prudent monetary policies. Similarly, the Central Bank is likely to maintain a cautious monetary policy, adjusting the key interest rate as necessary to balance growth and price stability. These macroeconomic conditions will foster an environment suitable to the sustainable development in the construction and mining sectors, with relevant opportunities for the international actors to contribute to and benefit from the favourable evolving scenario of Uganda. Mota- ngil will therefore follow up the country's strategic priorities, investing in sustainability, technologic innovation and partnerships to capitalise on the significant opportunities ahead.

The Latin America - E&C business unit includes the engineering and construction activities carried out by the Group, essentially in Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia. In addition, it also includes the energy generation and commercialization business in Mexico and the management and operation business of various concessions and long-term assets in Mexico and Colombia.
On the other hand, the Latin America - E&C business unit has been implementing a sustainable growth strategy over recent years, supported by three fundamental pillars: (i) the stabilisation of a set of large markets in the region; (ii) the commercial and execution capacity, focusing on structural projects for the growth of the countries and with attractive margins; and (iii) an increasing diversification of the business and cash flow profile, through the investment in concessions and long-term assets.
In the year ended on 31 December 2024, as a result of the successful execution of the huge backlog awarded, the turnover of Latin America - E&C reached the historical figure of 2,976 million euros, representing an increase of 8% against the 2023 year (2,750 million euros).
In this respect, emphasis should be given to the superlative performance of the Mexican market, which registered a 12% growth compared with the previous year, with the engineering and construction business having shown a growth of 9%, heavily boosted by the construction projects associated with Tren Maya (which was inaugurated over the course of 2024), the Rehabilitation of Coatzacoalcos – Palenque, the Tren Guadalajara Línea 4 and Metro de Monterrey.
Furthermore, in the year ended on 31 December 2024, Mexico contributed 84% to the turnover of Latin America - E&C (82% in 2023).
Regarding operating profitability, the EBITDA of Latin America – E&C in the year ended on 31 December 2024 arose to 322 million euros, a decrease of 5% compared to 2023 (340 million euros).
The EBITDA margin in the year ended 31 December 2024 reached 11% (12% in 2023).
Finally, in the year ended on 31 December 2024, the energy business contributed 218 million Euro to the turnover and 11 million Euro to the EBITDA of Latin America - E&C.
Thus, in geographical and business terms, in the period ended on 31 December 2024 in Latin American, the following stand out:
In 2024, Brazil registered a moderate growth, supported by the recovery of consumption, as well as by the competitive level of the prices of commodities. This factor boosted exports, especially of soy and iron ore, despite the tax-related, social and political challenges. On the other hand, the construction sector experienced a gradual recovery, although benefitting from the improvement in credit conditions and the launch of various infrastructure construction projects.
Also in 2024, Empresa Construtora do Brasil (ECB) kept its levels of production in line with those reached in the previous year, having executed highly significant projects, of which Portonave, ALSUB, UM Búzios and CCR Castelo Branco stand out. Moreover, 2024 also saw the award of a significant set of new projects, including UO BC – Lote 2 (maintenance and repair of offshore production units), Talude Sul (excavation, earthworks, transportation and maintenance of accesses) and VLT de Salvador (drawing-up and development of a railway project), among others.
For 2025, ECB estimates a positive operating performance, supported by its backlog, as well as by the identification of new opportunities for expansion, both regarding state infrastructure plans as private clients, supporting the latter in the development of their strategic plans.
In 2024, the growth of the Colombian economy was mostly boosted by internal demand, with emphasis on household consumption and reinforced exports, in spite of the challenges brought about by inflation. On the other hand, the construction sector registered a growing dynamism, driven by the demand for housing and by the investment in public infrastructure projects.
Also in 2024, Mota-Engil Colombia significantly increased its production levels, executing projects of great relevance gained in previous years, of which the Medellín Metro and Estación Elevadora Canoas stand out.
For 2025, Mota‐ ngil Colombia foresees a substantial improvement in its activity, translated into the backlog already raised, especially in the Medellin Metro project. Additionally, it will keep on actively taking part in public and private tenders, with the aim of expanding its portfolio of projects.
In 2024, the Mexican economy registered a moderate growth, mainly supported by internal consumption, external remittances and exports, as well as by an effective monetary policy where the control of inflation is concerned. Despite the global challenges, the country kept its competitiveness due to its proximity to the North American market and as a result of its capacity to leverage itself in trade agreements such as the T-MEC. On the other hand, the construction sector benefitted mostly from public infrastructure projects, like the Tren Maya, and the development of various social projects.
In operating terms, 2024 saw Mota-Engil Mexico exhibiting an outstanding performance, influenced by the high level of execution of various projects raised in previous years, with emphasis on the Tren Maya (sections 1 and 5 and section Libramiento Ferrocarril Campeche), the rehabilitation of the Coatzacoalcos – Palenque line, the Tren Guadalajara Línea 4 and the Metro de Monterrey (L4, L5 and L6).
In business terms, Mota-Engil Mexico gained in 2024 a significant set of new projects, of which the following are worthy of note: Planta Escolín (engineering, construction, financing and operation of a production plant for ammonia, urea and AdBlue); DRT Campeche (works of engineering and construction for the infrastructure of the tren ligero); and additional works in sections 1 and 5 of Tren Maya, among others.
Additionally, where the concession business carried out by Mota-Engil Mexico is concerned, it should be highlighted that 2024 saw a focus on the rotation and monetisation of certain assets, namely through the disposal of 100% of its shareholding in Concessionária Autopista Cardel-Poza Rica and in Concessionária Autopista Tuxpan-Tampico.
For 2025, even going through a challenging political context marked by the first months of the new Government and by the definition of the strategic priorities and priorities related to public infrastructures, Mota-Engil Mexico expects to maintain its strong performance, continuing to actively take part in public and private tenders, with the aim of securing new projects.
Regarding the energy business, particularly in the generation sector, in which Mota-Engil Mexico operates through Generadora Fénix, 2024 was characterised by: (i) the generation of energy in excess of 900 GWh (optimising the operation in terms of resource management); (ii) the sale of the majority of the clean energy certificates (CEL) attributed in 2024, mainly through long-term contracts; and (iii) the implementation of the plan to improve existing assets. Additionally, in 2024, Generadora Fénix continued to develop the Jorge Luque project (construction of a 110 MW combined cycle power plant), which will be executed in two stages, with the first stage having a maximum installed capacity of up to 39 MW available for operation. On the other hand, in the energy supply segment, whose activity is conducted through Suministradora Fénix, 2024 was characterised by the expansion of the client portfolio for the purchase and sale of products (energy, power and clean energy certificates), both in number and volume of energy traded, which was over 2,000 GWh/year.
In 2024, the Peruvian economy registered moderate growth, leveraged by the competitive level of the prices of commodities, which boosted exports, as well as by a partial recovery of private investment, despite the current political challenges.
Over the course of 2024, Mota-Engil Peru kept its activity, supported by the level of execution of the various projects in its portfolio, with emphasis on: Stage 6 of Presa Relaves, Port de Callao and a Port in Uruguay.
In business terms, 2024 was marked by the award to Mota-Engil Peru of an important set of new projects, of which the following stand out: the expansion of Presa de Relaves, the construction of Puente Tarata and Conservación Vial Puno (maintenance of a road corridor, among others.
For 2025, Mota-Engil Peru expects a positive performance of its activity, supported by the backlog already secured. Additionally, Mota-Engil Peru will maintain its active participation in public and private tenders with the aim of winning new projects.
In 2024, outside the four main markets in which the Mota-Engil Group maintains operations in Latin America, it is important to highlight the continuation of the Line 1 Metro expansion project in Panama, which has been progressing as planned.
Finally, the Mota-Engil Group will remain attentive and active in the search for and analysis of relevant business opportunities in the region, as long as they meet its strategic objectives.

The business unit of Europe - E&C essentially includes the engineering and construction activity carried out by the Group in Portugal and, until September 2024, in Poland.
In Europe - E&C, the turnover in the year ended on 31 December 2024 rose to 583 million Euro, a 12% decrease compared to the 2023 year (666 million Euro), mostly explained by the disposal of operations in Poland at the end of the third quarter of 2024 (a contribute of 201 million Euro in the 2023 year against 119 million Euro in the 2024 year).
At the level of operating profitability, in the year ended on 31 December 2024 the EBITDA of Europe - E&C rose to 45 million Euro, a 16% decrease against the 2023 year (54 million Euro), such profitability also having been negatively influenced by the disposal of operations in Poland.
The EBITDA margin in the year ended on 31 December 2024 reached 8% (8% in the 2023 year).
From a geographical and business perspective, the following stands out in the year ended as of 31 December 2024:
The macroeconomic framework in Portugal in 2024 was characterised by a moderate growth of the economy, with the gross domestic product (GDP) growing approximately 2%, with levels of inflation also approximately 2%, and by the maintenance of restrictive financial conditions. On the other hand, household consumption contributed about 1 p.p. To the total annual growth of GDP, reflecting an increase in the real disposable income and leading to a speeding-up of private consumption and to an increase in the savings levels. Regarding the labour market, it exhibited a positive performance, with an increase of employment and real wages, along with the maintenance of low unemployment levels (approximately 6%, similar to the previous year). Lastly, the budgetary policy direction pursued by the Portuguese state fostered the dynamism of activity and consumption without compromising the budgetary and public debt balance goals, with emphasis on the high importance granted to the achievement of investments associated with the RRP (Recovery and Resilience Plan), which are crucial to the stimulation of certain sectors of the economy.
In the construction sector, the annual production index of 2024 grew approximately 2.3%, with emphasis on the construction of buildings (+2.7%), whereas the engineering works marginally decreased, which impacted, for example, the sales of concrete, which registered a decline of approximately 2.5% against 2023. Additionally, global employment in the sector presented a performance aligned with the annual production index, having registered an increase of 2.5%.
About Mota-Engil Engenharia, in 2024, it consolidated its strategy for the Portuguese market, having focused on its competitive advantages, boosting an extended portfolio of technical and management skills, strong commitment with the clients and delivery capacity, from a perspective of a business partnership rooted in a collaborative and mutually responsible contractual management.
As such, in 2024 Mota-Engil Engenharia exhibited strong business dynamism, as a result of the trust capital and close relationship of a technical and business trust kept with public and private investors in the Portuguese market, regarding not only new awards that reinforced the value of its backlog, but also the involvement in proposals of high complexity and technical, financial and corporate demand. Apart from the important milestone that was the realisation of the Oriental Lisbon Hospital contract, the following projects secured over the course of 2024 are worthy of note:
Moreover, in 2024 Mota-Engil Engenharia was actively involved in the execution of the various projects kept in the portfolio, with a strong dynamism as regards production in various projects of a high size and technical difficult, following up, on the one hand, on the real estate projects in course (real estate development Aurius and the business development in the old Slaughterhouse, both in the city of Porto) and, on the other hand, on various structuring projects, with emphasis on:
For 2025, Mota- ngil ngenharia's expectations focus on consolidating a growing backlog in terms of value and economic and financial sustainability, in a sector marked by large public investments in progress or under discussion (high speed, new airport of Lisbon, railway, among others), along with private investments, especially associated with the Tourism and Residential areas. However, the realisation of the projects in the portfolio, due to their size, complexity, deadlines and other contractual terms, necessarily entails a highly significant investment effort, as well as a highly effective operating strategy regarding the management and mobilisation of the necessary resources, particularly of technical staff and experts.
Following up on a promise of purchase and sale agreement entered into in 2023 with a third party, the Mota-Engil Group in September 2024 disposed of its construction and real estate development operations that it had been carrying out in Poland for many years.

The Environment business unit is divided into the following sub-segments: (i) Collection of urban waste (whose activity is mainly carried out by Suma); (ii) Recovery and treatment of waste (whose vehicle is EGF); and (iii) International (with a presence essentially in Angola, Cote d'Ivoire and Brazil).
In the year ended 31 December 2024, the turnover of Environment reached 567 million Euro, a 10% increase compared to the 2023 year (518 million Euro), even without in the 2024 year the contribute of the industrial waste disposed of in 2023 (39 million Euro). On the other hand, in the year ended on 31 December 2024, the subsegments of Recovery and treatment of waste and International contributed 87% to the turnover (81% in the 2023 year).
Regarding operating profitability, the EBITDA of Environment in the year ended on 31 December 2024 reached 122 million Euro, a 11% increase against the 2023 year (110 million Euro), such increase having been essentially influenced by the positive performance of the Recovery and treatment of waste and Collection of urban waste (which improved its margin from 14% to 17%) subsegments. Moreover, in the year ended on 31 December 2024, the subsegments of Recovery and treatment of waste and International contributed 84% to the total EBITDA of Environment (84% in the 2023 year).
Lastly, the EBITDA margin in the year ended on 31 December 2024 reached 22% (21% in 2023).
From a geographical and business perspective, the following stands out in Environment in the year ended as of 31 December 2024:
The year of 2024 in Angola was characterised by a highly demanding macroeconomic context, rooted into an annual inflation of 27.5%, in an increase of the national minimum wage by 74% and in an increase in the price of diesel per litre by 48%.
The activity of Vista Waste in 2024 focused on the continuation of the implementation of the contracts for the provision of waste collection and urban cleaning services in the municipalities of Viana and Belas, located in the Province of Luanda, serving approximately 4 million inhabitants and collecting, monthly, approximately 41,000 tonnes of waste. However, the termination of those contracts is scheduled for April 2025, with the possibility of renewal for one more year.
In the waste management (industrial, hospital, recyclable) and recovery area, the restructuring of this business area was continued, with an aim to improve its efficiency and increase the level of profitability, based on a portfolio of approximately 300 clients, essentially private entities.
Regarding 2025, due to the new political and administrative division implemented in Angol, a result of which the number of Provinces went from 18 to 21 and the number of Municipalities went from 164 to 326, the Province of Luanda being now composed of 16 Municipalities as opposed to the previous number of 9, such division is estimated to impact the activity of Vista Waste, although it is not yet possible to anticipate the course, positive or negative, and size of that impact.
The Brazilian waste market continues to be characterised by strong competition, which, along with the current legal framework, makes high discounts necessary, which in turn affects the prospects of profitability of the contracts. In this way, only in December, after various optimisations, was it possible to materialise the commercial effort leading to the acquisition of two new clients, Varginha in Minas Gerais and Águas Lindas in Goiás.
In parallel, contacts for strategic partnerships in the regional concessions market have been pursued. This is a market characterised by lower competition, but the model used by the grantor for risk sharing and estimate of the base price make it necessary to carefully analyse the opportunities, since they are projects with high concentrated investment in the initial period of the concession and with an extended payback period.
On an operating level, the positive outlook for 2024 was not fully realised, essentially as a result of the negative adjustment to the unit prices of the Brasília contract and to the speeding-up of the labour costs considering the inflation rate observed.
Still in 2024, it is worth noting the stabilisation of the operations in the Stana Luzia landfill and the renewal, due to an exceptional nature, of the ECOSS contract in São Paulo.
On the other hand, it is important to highlight the ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 Certificate, obtained in 2024.
Concerning 2025, it was marked by the termination of various contracts, namely the Brasília one, which made Suma Brasil carefully manage its activity on business development and partnerships, so as to ensure the conditions of sustainability for its operations.
During 2024, Clean Eburnie continued its activity of managing the only landfill site serving the city of Abidjan.
In operating terms, the quantity of urban waste received in 2024 at the Kossihouen landfill increased in about 3.5% against 2023, having reached an average of 4,477 tonnes per day and an accumulated value of 9,103,873 tonnes since the beginning of the operation.
On the other hand, 2024 was a year of continuity regarding the investment started in 2022 into the improvement of infrastructures, namely: in the reworking of slopes, implementation of a temporary cover for the waste, improvement of the draining of cell leachates through the construction of draining ditches, maintenance and improvement of internal routes and conclusion of access roads.
Regarding 2025, Clean Eburnie expects to conclude the negotiation currently underway with the various government entities leading to the expansion of the landfill and the necessary contractual, regulatory and financial adaptations associated.
In 2024, Eco Eburnie registered once again an increase in production levels in all areas of action, thus reaching the best operating indicators since the beginning of its contract for provision of services in Abidjan, in particular regarding waste collection, where the figure of 937,000 tonnes over the year was surpassed, and sweeping, where the figure of 85,000 kilometres in total was surpassed over the year.
For the performance indicated above, two factors were especially crucial: (I) the investment made in the maintenance of equipment made in the third quarter of 2023; and (ii) the conclusion of works in the access road to the transfer centre of Yopougon, which allowed to significantly increase the number of trips by shift and the decrease of equipment wear and maintenance.
Concerning 2025, Eco Eburnie foresees an improvement to the activity and profitability, partially supported by the tri-annual increase of the tariff. On the other hand, since the end of the concession contract term takes place in December 2025, there are negotiations underway with various government entities with the scope of extending the current contract that provides for the possibility of its renewal for an additional period of no more than three years.
Ecolife is a company present in Mozambique for more than a decade, being equipped to respond to this challenging market.
In 2024, Ecolife continued to successfully execute its main contract for waste collection in the central area of Maputo ("cement city"), serving a population of 150,000 inhabitants and collecting and transporting more than 68 thousand tonnes of waste.
Additionally, as of the first quarter of 2024, a new contract established with the South African oil company SASOL for the duration of two years was launched in Vilanculos.
However, in the last quarter of 2024, the activity of Ecolife faced important constraints, due to the political situation experienced, which is foreseen to constitute a source of major constraints over the course of 2025.
Following a contract agreed at the end of 2015 focused on waste collection in the province of South Al Sharqiyah, Ecovision carried out its activity normally throughout 2024, continuing to follow the best performance practice that it has been adopting in the market, remaining a benchmark in the sector in terms of quality of the services rendered.
Regarding the contract initiated in 2022 for the sealing and installation of a biogas system in two landfills in the Sultanate of Oman, the works concerning the second landfill were initiated in 2024, its conclusion being scheduled to take place in the first semester of 2025. The sealing and installation of the biogas system in the first landfill was concluded in 2023.
Lastly, in business terms, still during 2024, Ecovision saw two of its contracts being renewed by its current client in South Al Sharqiyah, one for waste collection and the other for transfer and landfill disposal, having been commenced on 31 December 2024 and with a duration of 5 years, which shall allow Ecovision to increase its activity and profitability in 2025.
The rban Waste Strategic lan 2030 (" S 2030") was released in March 2023, so that the concessionary companies of F, in connection with the Municipalities, could by 31 December 2023 have drawn up and submitted for approval by the Portuguese Environment Agency (Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente) the respective Plans for Action for implementation of the Strategic Plan for rban Waste 2030 (" A S 2030").
The PAPERSU submitted were drawn up in full alignment with PERSU 2030, with a view to fulfil the environmental targets imposed, in spite, due to its ambition, of the heavy investment made in the amount of 1.8 billion Euro that they represent. At the end of 2024, APA submitted for the opinion by the companies the conditional approval of said PAPERSUs, and their approval is still pending. Moreover, attention should be drawn to the necessary adaptation of the Concession and Tariff Regulation of the Urban Waste Management Service (" T ") to this new reality and, likewise, to the definition of programmes for funding investment and non-tariff revenue sources, which constitute conditions necessary for the implementation of the respective PAPERSUs 2023.
Still regarding regulations, it is important to highlight the fact that ERSAR, at the end of 2024, forwarded the final decision on the existing transitory tariff in 2025, whose purpose was to anticipate and reflect the allowed earnings attributable to the concessionaires by maintaining the assumptions considered in the definition of the tariff for 2024 and integrating the updating of the additional revenues (offsetting values), the updating of the operating costs considering the estimated inflation for 2024, the incremental costs on account of the execution of the PAPERSUs, other components that ERSAR deemed relevant and the use of the regulatory liability/balance as far as necessary. Finally, the existence of a transitory tariff in 2025 is related to the fact that there still is no approval of the PAPERSUs and, as a result, of the investment, operating costs and respective associated revenue.
In operating terms, 2024 took place positively, as a result of the commitment and effort placed on conciliating the operation with the various works and investments underway.
Where communication is concerned, attention should be drawn to the ongoing investment in raising the awareness of the population, namely within the scope of the selective collection projects: Ecovalor, Mercado a Reciclar, EcoPraias, Ecoeventos, and Toneladas de Ajuda, projects which pursued the goal of maximising the increase in quantity and quality of the materials selectively collected. It is also worth highlighting the " ecycling Line" (Linha da eciclagem), a national customer service that is free of charge and allows the citizens to clarify their queries, request information, give suggestions and lodge complaints.
In terms of investment, the concessionary companies of EGF maintained in 2024 its focus on the continuity of operations and the execution of the ambitious investment plan defined for the three-year period 2022-2024, fulfilling their public service obligations arising from the concession contract.
In terms of sustainability, the EGF universe has been tracing the path for structuring its risk management practices, for which purpose it created in 2022 the Risk Sustainability and Management Department. This department is responsible, in particular, for assessing the impact of the economic, environmental and social aspects on the results and assets of the companies, as well as the carbon impact of its activity.
In addition, it should be said that the implementation of uniform procedures on human resources, as well as the single assessment system for the 11 concessionary companies and the computerisation of the companies (e.g., consultation of financial information on SAP Analytics Cloud and the beginning of development of technical and human resources information). Similarly, and with a particular focus on efficiency, the procurement centralisation process, the development and technical follow-up of the operations and asset management of the concessionaires, as well as of projects associated with innovation and development, were pursued.
Regarding 2025, it is expected to be considerably challenging to the management of the concessionaires, namely: (i) due to the undefinition of the final tariff for 2025 and associated risks; (ii) due to the growing complexity of application of the regulatory model; (iii) due to the difficult execution and financing of the ambitious investment plan; and (iv) due to the need to adapt the concession and RTR contracts.
The year of 2024 witnessed the end of the strategic partnership maintained over the course of many years with the Mota-Engil Group and the Urbaser Group, with Suma demerging its industrial waste business, which was disposed of still back in 2023 to that former partner, with the Mota-Engil Group, through Mota-Engil Ambiente e Serviços, having purchased the remaining 38.5% of the share capital of Suma (operation occurred in 2024).
In business terms, the public entities (municipalities, associations of municipalities and municipal companies) remained the main contractors in 2024, with a marked growth of awards motivated by policies of sustainability and fight against waste of resources, namely of selective collection services intended for waste recovery, having been observed.
In this way, Suma registered in 2024 an increase of it activity, which was reflected in the expansion of the portfolio and type of its clients, following up on a trend observed since its origin and which translated over the course of the year in approximately 78 million Euro representing new contracts awarded, in a total of 69 municipalities.
The year of 2024 also stood out for the consolidation of an emerging market: private and public structures presenting themselves as large producers of urban waste interested in guaranteeing greater sustainability to its activity of business, especially in the areas of health, hotel business, armed forces, among other more specific ones, such as the organisation of larger scale events.
However, maintaining the tendency of definition of the award factor based exclusively on the price - on part of customers and potential customers - has been imposing a change to the commercial approach and operations in the field, with the purpose of mitigating the impact of this contractual requirement in the defence of the values of quality and reference of the Suma brand.
On the other hand, the slowdown of inflation, resulting from the stabilisation of markets and the production and supply chains, together with the reworking of more sustainable forms of organisation in environmental, social, management and operating cost control terms, allowed for cushioning the heavy impact of the update in 7.9% of the national minimum wage, an aspect which assumed particular relevance in the activity of Suma.
It is also worth mentioning the creation of three new structures of support to operations in the Algarve, Setúbal and Lisbon regions (Algarve, Palmela and Frielas Service Centres), the investment of which was focused on the quality and functionality of the work environment, and which integrates administrative services, production area, workshops for maintenance of vehicles and equipment, and a warehouse.
Lastly, related to 2024, Suma celebrated its 30th anniversary of activity, thus charting a course marked by professionalism and recognition, which has been translating into the position of leadership it takes in the Portuguese market.
Regarding the year of 2025, it will be characterised by various challenges and opportunities, which Suma will face in full alignment with the strategy and ambition it has been pursuing.

The business unit of Capital is divided into the following sub-segments: (i) Services (which includes essentially the operation and maintenance services currently provided by Mota-Engil Ativ; (ii) Concessions (operating in Portugal and in Poland), (iii) Tourism (operating in Portugal) and (iv) Mobility (production of decentralised energy and charging of electric vehicles in Portugal).
In the year ended on 31 December 2024, the turnover of Capital reached 94 million Euro, a 2% addition to the 2023 year (92 million Euro), positively influenced by the 10% growth of the Services subsegment. Additionally, in the year ended on 31 December 2024 the Services and Concessions subsegments contributed 99% to the turnover of Capital (100% in the 2023 year).
Regarding operating profitability, the EBITDA of Capital in the year ended on 31 December 2024 rose to 1.1 million Euro, a decrease in 1.8 million Euro compared to the 2023 year (2.9 million Euro).
Lastly, the EBITDA margin in the year ended on 31 December 2024 reached 1% (3% in the 2023 year).
From a geographical and business perspective, the following stands out in the year ended as of 31 December 2024:
The year of 2024 was marked by the launching of the two first tenders (Lot A between Porto and Oiã and Lot B between Oiã and Soure) associated with the concession of the high-speed railway between Porto and Lisboa. These tenders are part of the integrated plan of the National Program of Investments 2030 which, in addition to the two concessions referred to above, also includes another concession to be launched over the course of 2025, through which Soure will be connected to Carregado. The Lusolav Consortium led by Mota-Engil and made up of funds managed by Serena Industrial Partners and by the construction companies Teixeira Duarte, Casais, Alves Ribeiro, Gabriel Couto and Conduril made a proposal for both concessions, Lot A having been awarded to it in October of this year. The concessions awarded includes the extension of the Campanhã station, the construction of a rail-road crossing over the Douro River, a station in Vila Nova de Gaia, about 70 km of railway line, as well as the connection of said line to the North Line.
On the other hand, in February 2024, the funding contracts, as well as the management contract with the Grantor entity, among others, related to the concession of the new Oriental Lisbon Hospital were concluded. In addition, in June 2024, the Court of Auditors issued the ex-ante visa for the project, even though it recommended the inclusion of the seismic isolation system based on the execution project, the Grantor having acquiesced to such request. AS such, this recommendation entailed the modification of all projects realised so far, so they are adapted to the changes requested, as well as the negotiation with the Grantor, still underway, on the terms under which such changes will be integrated. It should be mentioned that the Oriental Lisbon Hospital will constitute a benchmark for the Lisbon Region, replacing 6 health units currently in operation (São José Hospital, Santo António dos Capuchos Hospital, Santa Marta Hospital, Curry Cabral Hospital, Dona Estefânia Hospital and Dr. Alfredo da Costa Maternity Hospital).
In Poland, the construction of a parking lot in Warsaw, to be operated by Mota-Engil Concession over the course of 30 years, was concluded in December 2024. Additionally, the negotiation with the Grantor about a parking lot in Lodz was also concluded in December 2024, its construction being scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2025.
Where the activity of Lusoponte in 2024 is concerned, it proceeded as expected, the traffic having increased about 1.6%, while Subconcessionária do Douro Interior maintained the ongoing effort for optimisation of the operation and improvement of the service provided to its clients.
Lastly, Mota-Engil Concessões solidified in 2024 its operating activity, with the ongoing investment in studies on IT and O&M innovative solutions, namely through the improvement of the collection of tolls and telematic systems, being worthy of note.
In 2024, Mota-Engil Renewing redefined its strategic vision as a clean tech of the Mota-Engil Group, specialising in the supply of solutions for the mobility area. This repositioning made Mota-Engil Renewing to align its marketing offering towards the provision of services for the execution of infrastructure projects that promote sustainability mobility and the decarbonisation of the fleets of light and heavy-duty vehicles.
The year of 2024 therefore represented for Mota-Engil Renewing a period of strategic reflexion and organisational and process consolidation, with emphasis on the establishment and formalisation of the mobility business unit (Mobility) aimed at promoting the transition of company fleets to electrical mobility, focused on a first stage on solutions tailored for heavy passenger and cargo vehicles. The award of 15 electric buses by the municipality of Viana do Castelo was the first project gained by this new business area.
In the area of electric charging, it is worth mentioning the award and implementation of the first lot of charging points on the public road (municipalities of Vila Franca de Xira and Torres Vedras), representing the first steps in the approach to the segment with the highest chance of growth of the network of charging stations on a national level. On the other hand, the implementation of the charging private network of the Mota-Engil Group was concluded, constituting one of the largest on a national level, enabling Mota-Engil Renewing to establish itself as a charging station operator with nationwide coverage.
On an operating level, attention should be drawn to the effort made in innovation activities, in particular the design and implementation of digital platforms, duly interconnected, that make it possible to manage the services rendered and the flow of information.
Lastly, the entry into the Spanish market through the establishment of Mota-Engil Renewing Spain, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mota-Engil Renewing, and the investment made in Remo Mobility, a local operator of charging stations, as a significant portfolio of projects in partnership with three Spanish relevant retailers, the award of the first projects to Mota-Engil Renewing Polska, constitute a decisive step in the strategy to make the company become a relevant European player in the industry.
As a result of the ambition shown in the business plan, the main prospects for 2025 entail:
In the Services subsegment, Mota-ENGIL Ativ continued to strengthen its positioning in the market as a benchmark player, keeping its focus on sustainability and innovation as fundamental pillars of its action.

The unified interconnection of the various areas of action remained a priority in 2024, with focus on the water, energy and carbon efficiencies, as well as on the streamlining of asset management. These measures enabled to ensure a path of consistently positive results, despite the negative impact generated by two legacy contracts, and allowed for the expansion of the activity in international markets, aligned with the ambition of sustained and diversified growth.
Therefore, the following relevant facts in 2024 are worthy of note:
Facility management; (i) reinforcement of the positioning as one of the main national players, through the renewal of strategic contracts and the acquisition of new relevant clients;
Landscaping; (i) expansion of the book order, with emphasis on the sports turfs business; (ii) increase in the profitability of national activity; and (iii) reinforcement of partnerships with strategic clients;

Energy and Carbon Area: (i) structuring of the biochar and trading of carbon credits businesses, through the mixed-ownership company Mota-Engil Bcircle, which will allow for the commissioning to take place in 2025; and (iii) development of the Corvaceira project, with an increase of the carbon sequestration capacity.
The prospects for 2025, aligned with the strategic goals defined, are the following:
Lastly, with an increasingly solid market positioning and a well-defined strategy, Mota-Engil Ativ is prepared to continue to respond to the demands of a market in a constantly evolving market, actively contributing to the sustainable transition of the organisations and to building a more efficient and balanced future.
About Tourism, 2024 was marked by the continued refurbishment works of Casa da Calçada Relais & Châteaux. This project includes a thorough renovation of the hotel facilities, but also of the Largo do Paço restaurant, as well as the construction of new features, among which the spa and the wine routes on the estate where the hotel is located stand out. The new spa project represent a significant milestone in the evolution of the hotel's offer and aims to provide an enriching and memorable experience to the guests.
The reopening of Casa da Calçada Relais & Châteaux and Largo do Paço Restaurant is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
At Hotel Navarras, the activity significantly grew in 2024, as a result of the improvements implemented at the level of the unit infrastructures, as well as of a greater diversification of the supply, namely that resulting from the possibility of half-board accommodation for groups.
For 2025, the strategy of the Tourism subsegment relies on the streamlining of the operation and the attainment of efficiencies, so as to increment the business profitability and guarantee the customer's satisfaction and well-being.

The business unit of Mext is divided into the following sub-segments: (i) Innovation and development (essentially envisaging the internal departments of the sub-holding suited for innovation, transformation and investment); (ii) Real Estate (activity in Portugal and Central Europe until September 2024); (iii) Agroforestry (activity in Angola and Malawi), (iv) Mining (activity carried out mostly in Africa) and (v) Energy (activity in Portugal and Africa).
In the year ended on 31 December 2024, the turnover of Mext reached 47 million euros, a 12% increase from 2023 (42 million euros), essentially influenced by the Mining subsegment.
Regarding operating profitability, in the year ended 31 December 2024, EBITDA of Mext reached 11 million euros, an improvement of 2 million euros against 2023 (9 million euros), such profitability having been essentially influenced by the Mining subsegment.
Lastly, EBITDA margin in the year ended 31 December 2024 reached 24% (22% in the 2023 year).
From a geographical and business perspective, in the year ended on 31 December 2024 at Mext, the following stands out:
In 2024, Mamaland consolidated its positioning as the strategic vehicle of the Mota-Engil Group for sustainability and carbon projects focused on agroforestry, reaching relevant milestones in their development.
In Malawi, an addendum was signed, expanding the area covered by the concession of the Malai MoRe System project to approximately 555,000 hectares This advancement enabled the beginning of the development works, with the formation of a dedicated team, the first contacts and involvement with the local communities, the realisation of forest inventories for three forests (out of a total of 14) and the obtaining of a preliminary estimate of the carbon potential and the area to be reforested. The construction of a nursery with capacity to produce 11 million seedings per year is, planned for 2025 with the potential to be expanded to support the reforestation efforts. This project has built trust among clients and carbon investors, including globally recognised entities.
In the Cabinda RaRe System project, it is worth mentioning the progress made in the implementation of a nursery that will enable the expansion and speeding-up of the cocoa plantation, with the certificate of the Rainforest Alliance having been obtained, thus reinforcing the project's commitment to environmental sustainability and good practice.
In parallel, Mamaland maintains an ambitious pipeline of projects, with the expectation to reach more than 1 million hectares in new initiatives, namely in Cote d'Ivoire and in Angola. With one of the greatest carbon projects of the world currently under development, Mamaland's objective is to establish itself as a benchmark in large scale carbon projects, contributing to sustainable solutions and to position itself as a relevant player in the sector.
The mission of Mota-Engil Energia S.A. is to foster energy transition, creating value in the development and implementation of sustainable and customised energy projects on an industrial scale, with a special focus on the promotion of decarbonisation and circularity of our clients and communities.
In this way, the company continued to carry out its activity over the course of 2024, with the following being worthy of note:
Where the Logz project is concerned, it is developed through its mixed-ownership company EdgarPT (entity holding the rights associated with the rights to the process of allocation of the capacity reserve document - TRC, Título de Reserva de Capacidade), the Environmental Impact Study having been prepared and submitted in 2024 for review by the Portuguese Environmental Agency (Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente) and various diligences having been carried out with the conduct of the TRC allocation process in mind, its outcome still being pending. Against this background, that process is expected to be concluded in the first semester of 2025, which should allow for the regular development of the project.
Lastly, as a result of the initiatives indicated above, attention should be drawn to the participation in a decentralised energy generation project in a mine in the North of Mozambique, together with the promoting partner Source Energy, a project scheduled to launch in 2025 with the operations planned to be started in 2027. Similarly, it is worth mentioning the establishment in 2024 of Mota-Engil Bioenergy, a vehicle that will carry out the development of opportunities associated with biomethane, having already submitted various applications to PRR incentives associated with 5 projects to be developed in some waste treatment concessionaire companies in Portugal. The outcome of such applications is currently still pending, before the investments can be initiated, so that the activity can begin in the second semester of 2026.
Emerge, and the real estate activity in Portugal as a whole, witnessed a decrease of the interest rates in the second half of 2024, such rates showing a tendency to reach the 2% established as target by the European Central Bank. That decreased allowed for counteract, in part, the restrictions to the funding of new projects, as well as the granting of housing credit, factors which had led to a decrease in the number of sales and the launching of new projects in the market, although it had no impact to the increase of housing prices.
Emerge therefore continued in 2024 to consolidate its operations in the assets under construction and trading (Aurious and Old Slaughterhouse projects, in Porto), but also to promote efforts to obtain the necessary licencing to bring new projects to the market in 2025.
In parallel, and in line with the roup's guidelines, merge maintained the focus on the disposal of non-strategic assets, thus boosting both its value and liquidity.
On the other hand, the asset management area substantially increased its revenue resulting from the income assets, thus remaining a value adding relevant activity in the company's structure.
For 2025, Emerge plans to launch a new hospitality project in Porto and a coliving project in Lisbon, to conclude the licencing it currently has underway in some of its main assets, create new partnerships and leverage its activity in new projects, always in line with its values, commitment for quality, innovation and social responsibility.
The Innovation and Development subsegment reasserted in 2024 its strategic role in strengthening the core businesses of the Group. Additionally, the commitment to the ongoing transformation and to the development of workers were reinforced through the promotion of initiatives stimulating creativity, collaboration and openness.
On the other hand, over the course OF 2024, 11 Inspirational Sessions took place, being attended by guests who shared inspiring stories, disruptive ideas and relevant knowledge among all the workers of the Mota-Engil Group. As a complement, 4 Board Talks were promoted, allowing for getting to better know the members of the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, their perspectives regarding the Group and plans for the future.
Within the scope of the interaction with the entrepreneur ecosystem, Mext launched a global Open Call, that attracted more than 50 applications from different parts of the world, strengthening the Group's connection to the innovative trends and solutions on an international scale.
Internally, the Innovation Academy program was continued, the Innovative Leaders course was concluded and the Colliders program, aimed at the recently graduated trainees, was launched with the scope of fostering an innovative mindset from the very beginning of their careers at the Group.
MEXT Labs constituted another important milestone in 2024, gathering teams from Peru and from the IT area in events that fostered innovation and creativity through group dynamics and design thinking methodologies. In Portugal, in turn, the collaboration with the Engineering and Construction teams resulted in a specific program to transform ideas into clearly defined projects, translating into new solutions for the industry.
This growth and consolidation journey is expected to continue in 2025, with a special focus on the implementation of an innovation policy for the Group, rooted in the appointment of a Chief Innovation Officer. This new step will strengthen the roup's commitment to consolidating a structured and cross-cut vision about innovation, preparing it to face future challenges and opportunities.
In the Mining area, Luso lobal Mining (L M) continues to perform a strategic role as the roup's assets investment and development vehicle, with a focus on the natural resources sector.
In 2024, LGM launched its assets and partnerships development strategy, achieving several significant milestones. In the Moquita project, in Angola, the obtaining of an operation licence in December 2024 is worthy of note, after all the technical, financial and regulatory documentation was submitted. The year of 2024 also saw the beginning of the sale of diamonds from the mine, although conditioned by the late issue of the respective operation licence. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, production reached unprecedented levels, leveraged by operating improvements that significantly increased production capacity, consolidating L M's strategic position as a mining operator. Lastly, new prospection licences were obtained, which enhanced the portfolio of LGM in Angola to five projects at a prospection stage and one under production.
On the international level, the Chilwa Minerals project in Malawi was awarded the Best OP of 2023 prize by Australian Stockbrokers Foundation, highlighting L M's capacity to develop high impact projects and to create sustainable value for the shareholders. On the other hand, in 2024, Chilwa registered an expressive growth in its valuation, and various improvements with an impact to the operating efficiency were carried out. Besides, the potential operation of rare earth elements was identified, complementing the initial project of heavy mineral sands.
In parallel, LGM realised new investments in strategic projects focused on gold, in various African countries, in particular Cote d'Ivoire, and in more mature markets such as the nited States and Canada.
Finally, the internation expansion strategy was continued, with the conclusion of a partnership for the development of a new prospection project in Cameroon, reinforcing the commitment to sustainable growth and portfolio diversification.
For 2025, LGM will concentrate efforts on the improvement and profitability of the projects it currently has underway, maximising performance and promoting progression in the lifecycle of those projects. In addition, the company will continue to execute its expansion strategy, taking advantage of the market opportunities and strengthening its asset portfolio, with a focus in more mature projects, close to production and with a high potential for value enhancement.


On 31 December 2024, the share capital of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. comprised 306,775,950 shares, with a nominal value of one Euro each, all traded at Euronext Lisbon. On that date, Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. held 6,091,581 own shares, representing 1.99% of its share capital.
The year of 2024 was characterized by the decisions to cut key interest rates taken by the main central banks, namely in the Eurozone and in the United States of America (USA), following up on the disclosure of economic data that indicated a controlled inflation rate, with the scope to foster economic growth, which contributed to the positive performance of most shareholder markets, both in the Eurozone and in the EUA. In the Eurozone, the interest rate applicable to the deposit facility was cut four times in 25 basis points, reducing it from 4% to 3%, as the inflation got closer to the 2% target and following a cycle of interest rate increase started in July 2022. In this way, even if 2024 witnessed the continuation of military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, the main shareholder markets were immune to the growing risk and escalation of geopolitical tensions.
It is also worth mentioning the election of Donald Trump in November to the Presidency of the USA; which contributed to a better performance related to stock market indices of the USA, when compared to the evolution of the stock market indices from emerging markets and from the European market, due to the impact of the potential increase and the imposition of tariffs on imported goods, defended by the new President. In the USA, the highly positive performance of the shares of companies belonging to the tech industry also decisively contributed to the better relative performance compared to other stock market indices.
On the other hand, and notwithstanding the resilient results presented by the companies in general, the economic indicators, especially in the Eurozone, started to point out, in the second half of the year, to a slowdown of economic activity. It should also be highlighted in the Eurozone the negative evolution of the French shareholder ratio (-2.15%) as a result of political uncertainty, following up on the legislative elections and the high public indebtedness of the country.
In 2024, the Portuguese stock market index PSI exhibited a slightly negative performance of 0.30%, in contrast with the positive evolution characterising the main stock market indices on a global scale, namely those from the Eurozone and the USA. The European sectoral index of Construction & Materials, SXOP, in turn, exhibited a 4.89% valuation.
In 2024, the share of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. showed a negative evolution of 26.41%, closing the year with a market capitalisation of 894 million Euro. This performance was significantly influenced by the opening and respective announcement on 2 September of a significant short position held by a North American Hedge Fund.
Additionally, in 2024, the share reached a high of 5.940 euros in March and a low of 2.398 euros in October.
Lastly, in the year ended 31 December 2024, a total of 363 million shares were traded on Euronext Lisbon, corresponding to an average daily volume of 1,420 thousand shares.
On 27 March 2023, Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. entered into a liquidity agreement with Caixa – Banco de Investimento, S.A. with the purpose of boosting the liquidity of its shares admitted to trading in the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon. That contract came into force on 11 April 2023 and it remains in force as at the date of this report.
The 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. took place on 18 April 2024. All the items addressed therein were approved, with emphasis on the proposal for distribution of social assets, namely part of the amount accounted for in the "Free eserves" account in the total amount of 39,175,288 euros and 82 cents, each share thus having the value of 12.77 cents, tax withheld.
During the year of 2024, non-executive directors participated regularly in the meetings of the Board of Directors, discussed matters under analysis and expressed their opinion on strategic guidelines and specific business areas. Wherever necessary, they stayed connected with the teams of the Corporate Centre and of Shared Services Centre, as well as with the business unit managers. As described in the report on Corporate Governance practices, some non-executive directors participated in the meetings and other activities of the Group's Corporate Committees.
The standalone Management Report of 2024 presents the following proposals:
The Board of Directors proposes to the annual Shareholder's eneral Meeting:
This global amount will exclude the amount of the distribution that would be applicable to the shares that, on the date of the distribution of the corporate assets, are held by the Company itself or by its affiliaties, which must continue to be allocated to the "Free reserves" account.

INTEGRATED REPORT 2024
[BP-1]
The Mota-Engil Group Sustainability Statement is presented on a consolidated basis and includes the Group's subsidiaries. It covers information and data aligned with the calendar year 2024, covering the period from 1 January to 31 December. The consolidation perimeter is aligned with that of the financial statements and is presented in Appendix A of the consolidated financial information. There are no companies in the Mota-Engil Group obliged to report information individually that are not entitled to exemption under the CSRD. For the disclosures relating to E1-6 Scope 1, 2, 3 gross GHG emissions and total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, operational control was taken into account when determining the scope of consolidation [BP-1_01; §5 a i |BP-1_02; §5 b i | BP-1_03; §5 b ii].
The option of omitting information corresponding to intellectual property rights, expertise or the results of innovation was not utilised by Mota-Engil [BP-1_05; §5 d].
Following the principle of double materiality, Mota-Engil's Sustainability Statement includes relevant information on the upstream and downstream value chain, whenever necessary, to understand the Group's material impacts, risks and opportunities and to provide information that fulfils the qualitative characteristics defined in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive [BP-1_04; §5 c].
The information comprising the Sustainability Statement was verified by PwC – PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados-Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, who drafted an independent report with a limited reliability guarantee.
[BP-2]
Mota-Engil has selected time horizons consistent with the ESRS definitions for impacts, risks and opportunities. The time horizons are: short term (<1 year), medium term (between 1 and 5 years) and long term (>5 years) [BP-2_01; §9 a].
On the subject of the value chain, Mota-Engil, in the present Declaration of Sustainability, submits data for greenhouse gas emissions type 3 (see Chapter. 1.4.2.2 (Metrics)).
There are inherent sources of estimation and uncertainty in environmental data. This uncertainty results from the methodologies, assumptions and factors used in the calculations and may also derive from the recent implementation of the new sustainability reporting and management platform. To this end, Mota-Engil is carrying out internal work to harmonise the processes for collecting this data. Information on estimates, where applicable, has been inserted in context in the respective chapters, in the methodological notes.
Mota-Engil made use of the transitional provision related to section ' .1 Presentation of comparative information' of the ESRS and in the case of the metrics does not present the comparative information required by this section in this first year of preparation of the Sustainability Statement. Only for the defined targets, where available/applicable, is comparative data presented.
The environmental data is subject to historic updates whenever relevant. Mota-Engil maintains a commitment to continuous improvement of its calculation methodologies, seeking to ensure an increasingly complete approach. Whenever possible, these improvements are also applied retroactively, in order to preserve the comparability of data over time. In this regard, there were changes in relation to previous reporting periods, and the respective adjustments were made to the comparative information. The Mota-Engil Central Europe and Real Estate Polonia business units, previously incorporated into the E&C Europa and MEXT areas, were removed from previous years once they ceased to be a part of the Mota-Engil Group, bringing the historical data up to date, as well as including the true data for December [BP-2_10; §13 a] [BP-2_11; §13 b]. It is essential to ensure comparability between years past for the comparison of the sustainability targets with particular focus on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in comparison with the base year (2021) [BP-2_10; §13 a].
Mota-Engil did not find any material errors regarding the information reported in previous periods.
Mota-Engil prepared its sustainability report in accordance with: (1) the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) - published through the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023, which complements Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to sustainability reporting standards -, following the recommendations of the CMVM; and (2) the Non-Financial Reporting Directive, transposed into national law through Decree-Law no. 89/2017 of 28 July. 89/2017, of 28 July, which is still in force in Portugal, since the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has not yet been transposed.
As provided for in the ESRS, it also includes the disclosures under Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation of 18 June) - presented in Chapter. 1.4.2.1 - and a list of datapoints derived from other EU legislation from which the data points contained in the cross-cutting and thematic standards derive, according to Appendix B of ESRS Standard 2 - presented in Chapter. 1.4.5.2.
It also reports with reference to the GRI - Global Reporting Initiative Standards, presenting the respective index in Annex A. [BP-2_16; §15 | BP-2_17;§15].
Mota-Engil adopted the 'Insertion by reference' approach to improve the narrative structure and placed certain disclosure requirements throughout the management report and in the Sustainability Statement itself. The list of disclosure requirements incorporated by reference and their location in this Annual Report can be found in Chapter. 1.4.5.3. ESRS correspondence table [BP-2_20; §16].
In 2024, Mota-Engil opted to apply certain transitional provisions aimed at companies with more than 750 employees, being identified in the respective chapters:
• Expected financial effects of the company's material risks and opportunities (ESRS 2 SBM-3) - Chapter. 1.4.1.3.III
To this must be added the information prescribed by ESRS 2 SBM-1, No. 40, paragraph b) breakdown of total revenue by significant ESRS sector, and No. 40, paragraph c) (list of additional significant ESRS sectors).
The centrality of sustainability in the Mota-Engil Group's strategy is reflected in a strengthened sustainability governance structure, which aims to develop competencies and guidelines within the Group and achieve a recognised position in sustainability rankings, ratings and indexes. The Executive Committee of Mota-Engil SGPS (COMEX) is committed to sustainability management and is responsible for approving the strategy.
Coordination of the implementation of the strategy, maintenance of the system and sustainability reporting is carried out by the Sustainability Department, in collaboration with the other Corporate Divisions and Business Units in the different countries where the Group is present, and with the support of the Manuel António da Mota Foundation. It should be noted that the Sustainability Department is an autonomous department that reports directly to the CEO of the Mota-Engil Group, and that in 2023 the ESG Department was created within it, with a focus on sustainability reporting to the various stakeholders.

The board of directors is comprised of five executive and fourteen non-executive members [GOV-1_01_02; §21a)]. Of these, 63% are male and 37% female [GOV-1_05; §21d)], 37% are not of Portuguese nationality [GOV-1_05; §21d)]. It should also be noted that 0.58 is the average ratio of women to men (7:12) [GOV-1_06; §21d]. Regarding independence, seven members, corresponding to 37%, are independent of the Board of Directors [GOV-1_07; §21e)].
Almost all members of the Executive Committee have experience in management in the business unit (Chapter. 1.2.3 e Annex 4.7) [GOV-1_04; §21c)]. None of the members specifically represents employees or any other workers [GOV-1_03; §21b)].
The Executive Committee is responsible for the supervision of impacts, risks and opportunities [GOV-1_08; §22a)]. The Executive Committee and Board of Directors Operating Rules set out their responsibilities in relation to transversal policy for the Management of Corporate Risks [GOV-1_09; §22b)]. The Board of Directors approves the policies while the Executive Committee supervises the process and monitors its efficiency by means of reports and additional information provided by the Corporate Centre (including Corporate Control, SHEQ, Sustainability and Management of Corporate Risks etc.) and the local team for all Group companies [GOV-1_10; §22c)]. The Corporate Centre departments are supervised by the CEO, the Vice CEO and the CFO (&CIO). The Risks and Internal Auditing Committee also has responsibilities in the area of Risks, reporting the assessments carried out by its members on the Policy for Management of Risks, their implementation and, where necessary, on specific risks and opportunities to the Board of Directors [GOV-1_11; §22c i)].
In relation to norm ESRS G1 – Business Conduct, the Board of Directors also approves the policies while the Executive Committee oversees the process and monitors its effectiveness, following up on reports and additional information drafted by the Corporate Centre and the local team at each Group company [G1.GOV-1_01; §5a) (G1)].
At Mota-Engil Group, reporting lines are clearly set out to ensure efficiency in the management and supervision of the various corporate departments. Corporate Control and Corporate Risk report directly to the CFO while Sustainability and Human Resources Departments report directly to the CEO. The SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment and Quality) department reports to the Vice CEO and Internal Auditing reports to the Risks Committee and Internal Auditing. These reporting lines are fundamental to ensure an efficient management that is responsible and transparent within the Mota-Engil Group, promoting strategic decision making that is in line with corporate governance best practice [GOV-1_12; §22c ii)].
Specific controls and procedures are applied for managing the impacts, risks and opportunities by means of the Group Risk Management System in addition to the Double Materiality Study carried out in 2023 and complemented by a study of the IRO in 2024 [GOV-1_13; §22c iii)]. Targets related to the most material topics are approved by the Executive Committee and are monitored [GOV-1_14; §22d)].
Mota-Engil Group has a Corporate Centre that supports both the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors in relation to the specialist expertise of the administration, management and supervision bodies and access to their expertise and competencies, including a department that is exclusively dedicated to Sustainability [GOV-1_15; §23]. In addition to the Corporate Centre, the governance of sustainability also covers a Sustainability Committee and a Sustainability Commission which supports and reports to the Board of Directors, supporting the incorporation of sustainability into the company´s strategic decisions [GOV-1_16; §23a)].
Regarding to ESRS G1 - Business Conduct, during the reporting period, the training plan for the Integrity and Compliance Programme also involved senior management [G1.GOV-1_02; §5b].
A Sustainability Board Committee was created in 2024 presided over by the engineer Luis Rocharte. As well as being a Partner & Head of Sustainability at UNOBVIOUS Solutions, he is also Guest Professor at the ISEG and co-director of the executive courses for Chief Sustainability Officers and ESG & Corporate Strategy at the Porto Catholic Business School. Globally acknowledged by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) for his contribution to sustainable development, he has extensive experience in corporate sustainability and innovation, reinforcing the strategic dimension of the Committee [GOV-1_17; §23b].
[GOV 2]
The Mota-Engil Group's administrative, management and supervisory bodies are regularly informed about (i) the material impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs), in accordance with the criteria of ESRS IRO-1, (ii) the implementation of due diligence and (iii) the results and effectiveness of the policies, actions, metrics and targets adopted [GOV-2_01; §26a)]. The frequency and main topics of these communications are as follows:
The management and supervisory bodies of the Mota-Engil Group consider the impacts, risks and opportunities at various stages of their operations, including when monitoring the Group's strategy, making decisions on relevant transactions and in the risk management process. The Risk Management Policy, the M&A procedures, the Internal Commercial Rules and other internal regulations always incorporate the analysis of IROs [GOV-2_01; §26b)].
In analysing core business, new projects and projects underway, risks and opportunities are considered, with the identification and assessment of impacts and probabilities, as well as the forecast of the overall impact in financial terms (in euros), using an internal model. This methodology is applied to material projects, and management monitors the information through periodic reports [GOV-2_01; §26b)].
Within the scope of its 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, called Building 26 | For a sustainable future, the Mota-Engil Group has integrated sustainability and innovation as its central areas of action. Through this strategy, the Group committed itself to the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defining targets and strategic guidelines to actively contribute to their achievement. In August 2023, based on the results of the Double Materiality Analysis, which involved broad stakeholder participation, the Group revised its strategic objectives, aligning them with the material topics assessed as fundamental to the company's sustainable future [GOV-2_01; §26b)].
The operationalisation of this strategy included the creation of the Mota-Engil Group's Sustainability Committee, as well as the definition of leaders dedicated to sustainability issues at all levels of the organisation. It is expected that sustainability will continue to be progressively integrated into the company's strategy, with the impacts, risks and opportunities being continually refined as the organisation evolves [GOV-2_01; §26b)].
The trade-offs associated with the impacts, risks and opportunities have been considered by the administrative, management and control bodies [GOV-2_01; §26b)].
During the reporting period, those bodies, as well as their committees, addressed various material impacts, risks and opportunities in various strategic policies and programmes. These policies aim to manage and mitigate risks, as well as identify and exploit opportunities in key areas. The main policies published include:
These policies, among others, reflect the main material impacts, risks and opportunities identified and addressed by the Mota-Engil Group, ensuring that the Group's processes and operations are aligned with the best corporate practices [GOV-2_01; §26c)].
The incorporation of sustainability performance into Mota-Engil incentive regimes is directly related with the Remuneration Policy for the executive members of the Company Board of Directors, together with that for nonindependent executive members, approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting [GOV-3_01; §29].
Variable remuneration, one of the essential components of the Remuneration Policy, depends on several factors, including the achievement of strategic sustainability objectives related to the reduction of accidents at work and compliance with the Golden Rules (which includes safety rules), as described in Mota-Engil's Safety Recognition and Penalties Regulation and Global Human Resources Policy. Failure to comply with the assumptions associated with the monitored objectives and safety rules defined in the regulation will have an impact on variable remuneration, which may result in the temporary suspension (conditioned on the positive evolution of safety performance) or cancellation of a percentage of the variable remuneration of the employees concerned, regardless of their position. [GOV-3_01; §29a) [GOV-3_01; §29b)]. Performance metrics related to sustainability (focused on LTIFR) are considered to be the Group's annual performance benchmarks, in line with the Strategic Plan [GOV-3_01; §29c)].
In the case of the strategic ESG goal linked with safety for example, a 50% penalty is applied [GOV-3_01; §29d)]. The approval and updating of the conditions for the incentive regimes is made by the Executive Committee [GOV-3_01; §29e)].
The considerations related with climate matters are not presently incorporated into the remuneration of members of the administration, management and supervision bodies [E1.GOV-3_01; §13)]. The performance of said members was not evaluated on the basis of the targets for the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases [E1.GOV-3_02; §13)].
With the exception of the four shareholders of the Group's founding company (including two former directors and two current directors), for whom a Pension Plan has been established, the Mota-Engil Group does not have Pension Plans for the other members of the Management and Supervisory bodies.
The Mota-Engil Group adopts the same consolidation perimeter for reporting sustainability information as for financial reporting. In this way, both are subject to the same risk management system, which follows a detailed structure in the following phases:
Based on the centrally defined risk catalogue, those involved in the process are asked to identify the risk events applicable to the Group's operations, based on the materiality of the operations and the likelihood of material errors in the reporting of sustainability information, quantifying the probability of occurrence and the impact of each risk on a scale of one to five for both vectors. For risk events for which the product of the impact rating and the probability of occurrence is between twelve and eighteen, it is recommended that a treatment plan be defined and implemented. For scores above eighteen, the definition and implementation of a treatment plan is mandatory [GOV-5_02; §36b)].
The main risks identified in the sustainability reporting process are essentially related to: (i) the timely collection of information; (ii) the standardisation of the information collected; (iii) the reliability of the information collected/produced; and (iv) the consistency and comparability of the data [GOV-5_03; §36c)].
In this way, various control processes and activities have been developed over the last few years with a view to mitigating the risks identified, namely: (i) the implementation of a computerised system - a platform for collecting and managing sustainability information - which facilitates uploading, storing, calculating and consolidating information, guaranteeing an adequate segregation of duties between the various parties involved in the process; (ii) the drafting of procedures manuals and the provision of training sessions detailing the rules to be adopted when reporting sustainability information; (iii) the implementation of various controls in the system that notify the various players of non-compliance with their obligations on time, of the occurrence, and request for justification, of significant deviations between the information uploaded in the period and that uploaded in previous periods, among others; and (iv) central monitoring and, in some cases, recalculation of the results by an independent and specialised team [GOV-5_03; §36c)].
As a result of the events identified, the opportunities for improvement detected in the sustainability reporting process (identified both internally and by external consultants in past years) and the constant and growing regulatory changes, the Group has implemented continuous modifications to its procedures, controls and processes, including in areas such as Procurement, Compliance and Human Resources. These changes are aimed at ensuring compliance with the disclosure requirements in force and promoting the continuous improvement of its risk management system [GOV-5_04; §36d)].
Information on the risks and opportunities identified in the sustainability reporting process is periodically communicated to the Executive Committee and the Sustainability Committee, ensuring that they are aware of the main events faced by the Group in this area [GOV-5_05; §36e)].
Mota-Engil's value proposition is based on the creation of strategic partnerships for the development of infrastructures and buildings, always with a commitment to the fulfilment of contracts, respect for people, the environment, safety and the communities affected. We build and provide our services in accordance with the Group's values, adapting to local cultures and policies and favouring the hiring and training of local professionals, which contributes to the socio-economic growth and strengthening of the regions where we operate [SBM-1_01; §40 a) i].
With this in mind, the Group has a wide range of activities associated with the design, construction, management and operation of infrastructure facilities in the following business areas (see Chapter. 1.2.1.1 – Business Areas) [SBM-1_01; §40 a) i]:
During the report period, Mota-Engil carried on operations in 21 countries in three geographical areas [SBM-1_02; §40 a) ii]:
The core markets for the Group are located in countries such as Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Nigeria, Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Colombia [SBM-1_02; §40 a) ii].
In 2024, as a part of the process of boosting profitability and the optimisation of its portfolio, the Group ceased operations in Poland (with E&C and Real Estate) [SBM-1_02; §40 a) ii].
The Mota-Engil Group client portfolio includes developers (public and private) where 57% of Engineering and Construction clients are related with the public sector. Alignment with the ethical values and integral respect for the labour, social, economic and contractual context of architects and other contractors is guaranteed [SBM-1_02; §40 a) ii].
At the end of 2024, the Group had 51,019 employees, the majority associated with the Engineering and Construction unit in Africa and Latin America and the Environmental business unit [SBM-1_04; §40 a) iii].
| Effective number of employees by geographical area and business unit | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Engineering and Construction - Europe | 2,469 |
| Engineering and Construction - Africa | 21,323 |
| Engineering and construction - Latin America (Latam) | 11,953 |
| Environmental | 13,197 |
| MEXT- Mota-Engil Next | 255 |
| Mota-Engil Capital | 1,400 |
| Holding and others | 422 |
Mota-Engil maintains strategic relationships with a series of diversified stakeholders (Chapter. 1.4.1.3.II). Collaboration with a variety of actors contributes to the creation of value and reinforces the positioning of the Group as a reference point, not only in the Engineering and Construction field but also in the other business fields where it operates [SBM-1_25; §42].
Mota-Engil's business model favours a relationship of trust with its clients, who, sharing the same values, repeatedly hire the Group's services to carry out their projects. The trust placed in the Group results, in particular, from its ability to respond to the needs of more specific client groups ('niche' groups) [SBM-1_25; §42].
Our clients are looking for competitive, solid and technically differentiated commercial proposals, trusting in Mota-Engil's ability to fulfil the contractual terms and guarantee quality in all phases of the project, including the construction guarantee phase, during which they expect diligent technical support [SBM-1_25; §42].
The Group's value proposition materialises through the mobilisation of essential resources, such as human resources, equipment and raw materials (steel, cement, sand, water, fuel, electricity, bitumen, glass). In addition, financing is fundamental to making operations viable [SBM-1_25; §42 | SBM-1_26; §42a].
Inherent costs include the cost of goods sold and raw materials, as well as expenses for external services. They also include internal costs (IT, telecommunications and other services, personnel expenses) and depreciation of fixed assets. Financial costs, such as interest on debt, bank guarantees and fees, as well as corporate taxes and local flat rates, are also part of the cost structure [SBM-1_25; §42 | SBM-1_26; §42a].
Environmentally, there is a focus on the use of natural resources such as sand, water and energy, which are essential for operations. In addition, Greenfield projects can impact biodiversity and local ecosystems, requiring mitigation measures for these possible impacts. Carbon emissions are also a relevant factor, especially in the consumption of fossil fuels and the use of materials such as cement and bitumen. These aspects are considered in value chain management to balance business activity with environmental responsibility [SBM-1_26; §42a].
The organisation's outputs include the commercial proposal and participation in tenders, individually or in association, design and planning, construction and, in some cases, the operation and maintenance of various infrastructures, both for the public and private sectors. Our main products and services involve large infrastructures, transport infrastructures (rail, road, air and sea), energy infrastructures, water and sanitation infrastructures, urban infrastructures and buildings (residential, commercial, industrial and institutional), waste management and environmental infrastructures, among others. The contractual approach can involve anything from construction to integrated models such as design, construction and operation/maintenance or financing, design, construction and operation/maintenance [SBM-1_27; §42b].
The outcomes generated benefit different stakeholder groups:
Future benefits include strengthening social and industrial infrastructure, increasing the sustainability of projects, evolving local competences and continuously pursuing climate and environmental goals, aligning projects with the longterm needs of stakeholders [SBM-1_27; §42b].
Considering the activities it carries out and its business areas, Mota-Engil has two main value chains - the construction value chain and the waste management value chain [SBM-1_25; §42].
With regard to the construction value chain, the Group has the technical capacity, individually or in consortia, to build, develop and operate infrastructure projects for public and private clients in various sectors such as: transport, industrial, health, energy, residential and commercial infrastructures, among other civil construction infrastructures [SBM-1_28; §42c].
Upstream in the value chain, it has suppliers of materials and equipment, guaranteeing the necessary supplies to carry out its operations [SBM-1_28; §42c].
Further down the value chain, it delivers projects to contractors, designers and investors, working with local subcontractors. Contracting takes place through tenders or direct negotiations, with contracts that include monitoring by client representatives [SBM-1_28; §42c].
The financial structure provides for advances through bank guarantees, monthly certification of the work and withholdings for quality. With a strategic network of suppliers and partners, the Group delivers innovative and sustainable solutions, consolidating its position in the construction sector [SBM-1_27; §42b].

Mota-Engil's value chain in waste management includes, upstream, the production of urban waste, which can then be separated at source or disposed of undifferentiated. Through its operations, Mota-Engil is responsible for urban cleaning, collection - selective and undifferentiated -, sorting and the mechanical and biological treatment of waste. Mechanical and biological treatment also allows for material recovery and energy recovery. Waste that cannot be reused is landfilled by Mota-Engil. Down the value chain, previously sorted waste is recycled. This process optimises the reuse of waste and reduces the environmental impact associated with its production, promoting the circularity of materials [SBM-1_28; §42c].

The Group's Business Model gives equal importance to all its products and services, as well as to its customer portfolio in the various geographies in which it operates. For this reason, the Group's strategic objectives (see Chapter. 1.2.2) are aligned with its purpose and the way it operates, and are transversal to all geographies [SBM-1_21; §40 e)].
With regard to its objectives related to sustainability, it should be noted that Mota-Engil Environment is a consistent and mature business area, which operates throughout the waste management value chain and has a diversified business portfolio. Its growth has been focused on the new environmental objectives in Portugal and new international projects, leveraging important actions in order to achieve the Group's strategy on these objectives. It is recognised for its proven know-how and ability to boost its geographical presence consistently and according to best practices [SBM-1_22; §40 f)].
In addition, other business areas, developed by Mota-Engil Capital and MEXT, such as production for self-consumption and sale of energy from renewable sources, asset management and maintenance centred on operational, energy, water and carbon efficiency, as well as the development of differentiated areas, such as real estate and agro-industrial production, have been gaining ground [SBM-1_22; §40 f)].
It should also be emphasised that Mota-Engil's 'product' must comply with the Group's objectives, for example, the construction service cannot have an associated LTIFR (non-fatal work accident rate with sick leave) higher than that established by the respective target [SBM-1_22; §40 f)].
Sustainability is one of the main concerns of the Group's innovation efforts, currently led by MEXT. The Group is developing several projects in the area of sustainability which include [SBM-1_23; §40 g)]:
In 2024, the Group generated a total turnover that reached 5.95 billion euro [SBM-1_06; §40 b)]. Group revenue deriving from the fossil fuel sector (coal, oil and gas) are set out in the following table [SBM-1_09, §40 d) i].
[SBM-1_09; §40 d) i]
| Revenue (monetary), in euros | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Fossil fuel sector revenue (coal, oil and gas) [SBM-1_10, §40 d) i] | 349,483,074 |
| Revenue from the coal sector [SBM-1_11, §40 d) i] | 131,108,181 |
| Revenue from oil [SBM-1_12, §40 d) i] | 203,381,664 |
| Revenue from gas [SBM-1_13, §40 d) i] | 14,993,230 |
| Revenue from economic activities aligned with the taxonomy related with fossil gas [SBM-1_14, §40 d) i] | 0 |
The Group does not generate revenue associated with the production of chemical products [SBM-1_15, §40 d) ii, controversial arms [SBM-1_17, §40 d) iii] or the cultivation and production of tobacco [SBM-1_19, §40 d) iv].
Mota-Engil endeavours to systematically identify, monitor and review information about its stakeholders, their needs and expectations, as determining factors for the success of the Group's activities and for the identification of risks and opportunities.
As a result of the double materiality analysis carried out in 2022/23, the stakeholder groups to be consulted were identified and the strategic sustainability objectives were defined. In this analysis, the Group sought to reassess, rename and/or identify new stakeholder groups, with the contributions of the main managers of the Business Units and geographies where the Mota-Engil Group operates. This internal discussion also resulted in the identification of differentiated levels of relevance of the stakeholder groups, with customers, employees, shareholders, the financial sector, public and regulatory entities and suppliers assessed as core, which corresponds to the groups in which Mota-Engil concentrates its efforts and/or is more actively and closely involved. Also noteworthy is the importance of partners in the development of joint initiatives. It should be emphasised that because the Group is aware of the impact its activities can have on the planet and future societies, it has included Society & Future Generations and the Environment (NGOs) as Stakeholder groups. The exercise to deepen the double materiality analysis carried out in 2024, together with the need to respond to the ESRS Standards, made it possible to identify workers in the value chain as a subgroup of 'Suppliers' and to individualise the affected communities as a group per se [SBM-2_02; §45a | SBM-2_03; §45a ii].
The forms of communication and involvement vary according to the stakeholder group. The Mota-Engil Group endeavours to ensure that the channels used, as well as their frequency, are appropriate to its needs and those of its stakeholders. Even the approaches used for the main stakeholders depend to a large extent on the dynamics, legal requirements and characteristics of each region where the Group operates, as well as the business areas. In terms of communication channels that cut across all stakeholder groups, these include emails, the website and social networks, as well as irregularity communication channels (corporate and local, where applicable) [SBM-2_01; §45a].
The Group's strategy and business model were adjusted on the basis of the materiality analysis and strategic objectives [SBM-2_08; §45c Stakeholder consultation was carried out, involving internal and external stakeholders, through internal workshops, interviews with external stakeholders and the more generalised application of an online questionnaire. The consultation process took into account the representativeness of the Group's various business areas and macrogeographies of operation [SBM-2_09; §45c i]. The continuous improvement of the Group's various processes should also be highlighted. For example, within the scope of Corporate Social Responsibility, the development and formalisation of mechanisms for dialogue with communities is expected [SBM-2_10; §45c ii]. These steps are intended to gather the opinions of stakeholders in greater depth. In general, engagement with stakeholders is recognised as essential, as it strengthens trust, reduces conflicts, safeguards the Group's reputation and enables the continuous improvement of its processes [SBM-2_11; §45c iii].
Finally, the administrative, management and supervisory bodies are informed of the views and interests of the affected stakeholders with regard to the impacts related to the Group's sustainability. SHEQ Committees are emphasised at corporate level, but also at company and project level. This forum includes the review of the management system, in line with the ISO requirement, in which the needs (of workers, subcontractors, clients, among others) for process improvements are presented to the respective administrations [SBM-2_12; §45d].

During the 2024 financial year, a double materiality analysis was carried out for comparison with the results from the previous year. This study was undertaken with a greater degree of granularity that permitted the identification of the material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO).
A total of 143 IRO were identified, which were aggregated into 22 material topics and presented in the following diagram, divided by ESG area (environment, social and governance) and according to the materiality dimension in which they fell after the final assessment.

80 impacts were identified, of which 40 were negative and 40 positive, 47 risks and 16 opportunities. 86% of the impacts were found to be real. The majority (62%) of the potential material impacts, risks and opportunities have a short-term horizon (< 1 year), 35% have a medium-term horizon (1 -5 years) and the remaining 3% are long-term (> 5 years) [SBM-3_06; §48 c iii].
The double materiality assessment identified IRO associated with upstream and downstream of the value chain, however, recognises that, in light of the information currently available, the majority of the IROs identified arise from/involve its own operations [SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
The impacts resulting from the activities carried out by the Mota-Engil Group can be both positive and negative, directly influencing the environment and the people involved. Therefore, we present below a brief overview of how different practices can impact sustainability, the well-being of employees and the communities around them:
The material impacts identified are directly related to the organisation´s material topics and are aligned with the SDG – Sustainable Development Goals (Chapter. 1.2.2.1). The negative impacts such as waste production, greenhouse gas emissions and inequality in employment conditions, may derive from the Group´s own operations while the positive impacts such as sustainable innovation, the creation of local employment and energy transitions are the result of strategic initiatives developed by the Group and intended to minimise the negative impacts. Said relationship shows how the business strategy and model incorporate the principles of sustainability in line with the SDG. The organisation´s efforts as a result seek to broaden the positive impacts while applying measures for the mitigation of the negative impacts and promoting more responsible and sustainable practices.
Risk and opportunity management is fundamental to the sustainability and future success of the Mota-Engil Group. A brief summary of the risks and opportunities identified is as follows:
To date, Mota-Engil does not have an ESG resilience analysis of the Group's strategy and business model.
In conformity with Appendix C of the ESRS 1, Mota-Engil has chosen to omit the communication of information on the expected financial effects of impacts, risks and opportunities in the first year of preparation of its Sustainability Statement.
Not applicable. This is the first year that Mota-Engil has implemented the Double Materiality Assessment under the CSRD.
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement, in particular to the chapters for thematic norms for detailed information on:
The following nomenclature was employed throughout the text for the thematic norms in the sections that respond to the SBM-3 in order to visibly differentiate: [I-] negative impacts ; [I+] positive impacts; [R] risks; [O] opportunities.
[IRO-1]
In 2022/23, the Group carried out a double materiality analysis exercise, in anticipation of the transposition of the European Commission's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) into national law, while taking into account the requirements of the new universal standards of the GRI - Global Reporting Initiative (in its 2021 version). This exercise comprised four main stages: analysing the context, involving stakeholders, drawing up the materiality matrix and validating and approving the material topics.
Within the scope of said study, a survey of stakeholders was carried out which involved internal (Project Team, Internal Experts, and Employees), external parties (Clients, Shareholders, Public & Regulatory Entities, Financial Sector, Suppliers, Partners, Society & Future Generations, and Environment). Several internal workshops were held, interviews with external stakeholders selected according to the importance of each business area and the relative priority of the stakeholder group, and the more generalised application of an online survey [IRO-1_05; §53b) iii]. The representativity of the various business areas and macro-geographical regions for Group operations was taken into account in the survey.
As a result, out of a total of 34 sustainability topics that were consulted, 18 material topics were identified. The results of this double materiality exercise formed the basis for the review and strategic alignment carried out in 2023, with the definition of new objectives and action plans promoted by the Sustainability Working Groups.
The exercise carried out in 2022/23 focused on topics, failed to meet the requirements that EFRAG Implementation Guidance (IG) 1 – Materiality Assessment, published in May of 2024, that became evident in the identification of the Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IRO) related to each of the sustainability topics under analysis.
Aiming to capitalise on the work already carried out, Mota-Engil in 2024 decided to carry out a more in-depth version, this effort being focused on the identification and evaluation of the Group's IRO. [IRO-1_01; §53a] [IRO-1_07; §53c] [IRO-1_15; §53h].
Given the work already carried out in 2022/23, this stage focused essentially on mapping Mota-Engil's main value chains, namely in the Engineering & Construction and Environment business areas, due to their weight in the Group's turnover, seeking to identify the existing impacts on the Group's own operations, in its multiple geographies, as well as upstream and downstream through existing commercial relationships [IRO-1_03; §53b) i] [IRO-1_04; §53b) ii].
The aim at this stage was to achieve a comprehensive list of IROs, using information from Mota-Engil itself whenever possible, including the work carried out by the Risk Management area [IRO-1_02; §53b]. Among others, the following sources of information were taken into consideration [IRO-1_14;§53g]:
The impacts, resources dependencies and relations in the value chain were analysed as potential sources of risks and opportunities [IRO-1_08; §53c) i].
In addition to the sources of information listed above, contributions from the research and experience of external consultants who provided support to Mota-Engil were also taken into account, as well as various internal specialists who took part in the working sessions to validate and assess the IRO.
From this identification stage, 143 impacts and 145 risks and 19 opportunities were identified.
Thirteen working sessions were held, with the participation of 34 internal experts with expertise in the various topics under analysis and in order to cover the Group's different business areas [IRO-1_05; §53b) iii]. The IROs were assessed using an Excel tool, parameterised by the external consultancy team, according to the criteria listed below. The internal experts involved in each session were given the opportunity to express their opinion, and consensus was always sought among the participants [IRO-1_06; §53b) iv].
| Probability | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type of IRO | Extent of impact (How extensive the impact is or could be) |
Severity/Benefit (How serious/beneficial the impact is or could be) |
Irreversible nature (How difficult it is to remedy the impact) |
(How likely is it that the impact will occur) |
|
| Positive real impact | X | X | |||
| Negative real impact | X | X | X | ||
| Positive potential impact | X | X | X | ||
| Negative potential impact | X | X | X | X |
Quantitative limits were set for each criterion, in order to help the internal experts in their task of assessing the impacts identified. In accordance with the EFRAG IG 1 - Materiality Assessment guidelines, cases of negative impacts on human rights were also identified, in which case the assessment of severity prevailed over the probability of the impact.
In the assessment of risks and opportunities, the magnitude criterion was broken down, seeking to align the double materiality analysis with Mota-Engil's risk assessment methodology, namely with the Enterprise Risk Register and the Project Risk Management Framework [IRO-1_10; §53c) iii]. The risks and opportunities were assessed in accordance with the (applicable) sub-criteria listed below, and in the end the most significant assessment achieved was assumed [IRO-1_09; §53c) ii].
| Magnitude (maximum) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type of IRO | Economic and Financial (How relevant the risk/opportunity is in the cost variation) |
Planning (How relevant the risk/opportunity is in the timing) |
Strategy (How relevant the risk/opportunity is to the strategic objectives) |
Probabilidade (How likely is it that the risk/opportunity will occur) |
| Risks | X | X | X | X |
| Opportunities | X | X | X | X |
The relevancy thresholds are fully aligned with Mota-Engil's risk assessment methodology, namely with its risk and opportunity heat maps. On a scale ranging from 1 to 25, all those with a score above 12 were considered material IROs and all those with a score below 6 were considered non-material IROs. The IROs with scores between 6 and 12 were discussed and validated in the three calibration sessions held in order to assess their materiality [IRO-1_06; §53b) iv].
The calibration sessions held were attended by the four members of the Project Team, who have a comprehensive view of the Group's various business areas and ESG dimensions. The preliminary results obtained were discussed and, where necessary, adjusted to ensure the overall coherence of the exercise. Final approval of the results of the double materiality exercise was given at a meeting of the Mota-Engil Group Sustainability Committee [IRO-1_11; §53d].
The double materiality derives from the joining of impact materiality and financial materiality where a sustainability matter will be considered to be material if it meets the criteria established for impact materiality, financial materiality or both.
The results of this materiality exercise were as follows:
The correspondence between the 22 material topics and the ESRS Thematic Norms can be analysed in the following table:
| Dimension | ESRS Thematic | Material topics | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESRS E1- Climate change | Energy and climate change | ||||||||
| ESRS E2- Pollution | Non-material | ||||||||
| Environmental | ESRS E3- Water and marine resources |
Non-material | |||||||
| ESRS E4- Biodiversity and eco systems |
Non-material | ||||||||
| ESRS E5- Circular economy | Circularity | ||||||||
| Working hours and life/work balance | |||||||||
| Working conditions and social protection | |||||||||

| Violence and harassment in the workplace | |||||||||
| Cybersecurity | |||||||||
| Child labour, forced labour and new forms of slavery | |||||||||
| ESRS S2- Workers in the value chain | Workers in the value chain |

It should be noted that with regard to standards E2 - Pollution, E3 - Water and marine resources and E4 - Biodiversity and ecosystems, IROs were identified and evaluated, but they were below the defined relevance threshold. With regard to standard S4 - Consumers and end users, no IRO were identified since Mota-Engil has a B2B (Business to Business) positioning and the concept of ''client'' does not fall within the scope of this standard.
The alignment sought between the Mota-Engil process of evaluation of risk and the analysis of double materiality will be beneficial in that these are two exercises that can and should feed off each other to promote synergies and a more holistic view of the risks and opportunities that the Group has to find a way of dealing with [IRO-1_12; §53e] [IRO-1_13; §53f].
The materiality of the information was decided on the basis of the material IROs resulting from the Group evaluation of double materiality. Following the identification of the material technical norms, the materiality was assessed for the requirements of disclosure and datapoints. The process of evaluation of materiality and the use of thresholds are described in IRO-1.
The disclosure requirements that Mota-Engil is responding to in the present Sustainability Statement in addition to being a list of datapoints deriving from other EU legislation are identified in Chapter. 1.4.5 ESRS Correspondence Tables.
The Environmental Taxonomy is a central instrument for implementing the European Union's Sustainable Finance Plan, as part of the various international initiatives to promote sustainability, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The scheme was approved by Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of 18 June and has been subject to various developments through delegated acts.
In an effort to promote comparability and combat greenwashing, the European Taxonomy provides for a set of information obligations, according to strict and objective technical, environmental and social criteria, which this report fulfils.
The essence of this instrument is to catalogue economic activities that can be classified as sustainable according to six environmental goals:
The sustainability of activities is calculated through their substantial contribution to one or more of these six goals, without simultaneously harming any of the others at the same time.
This year, for the first time, the verification of alignment is applicable in relation to all environmental objectives and not just the two climate objectives, following the changes that the taxonomy regime underwent during 2023 and which have since come into force. This development has a significant impact on Mota-Engil's activity, since some of the activities for which technical criteria are now available are actually carried out by this company.
The technical criteria resulting from Regulations (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June and Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 have substantially different developments and requirements depending on the activities to which they refer. In the case of Mota-Engil, although most of its activities are eligible for the taxonomy because they have technical alignment criteria available, in many cases the technical criteria are structurally demanding and were not reflected in the activities as they were carried out before the Taxonomy regime was approved, which requires an effort to adapt and approximate, which will be done progressively.
As eligibility is simpler when comparing the descriptions of the activities in the Taxonomy's delegated acts with the activities actually carried out at Mota-Engil, an initial analysis of the various activities was carried out at central level, with the involvement of the Sustainability, SHEQ and Business Control areas, and some specific checks with the heads of the operational areas, thus giving rise to the final list of eligible activities for the taxonomy.
The elements that make it difficult to align some of Mota-Engil's activities include, firstly, the fact that many activities are carried out according to the specifications of contracting authorities, without many of the alignment factors being available to Mota-Engil. The fact that some of the alignment elements depend on suppliers who are often not yet prepared to offer products compatible with the fulfilment of the technical criteria is also significant in the evaluation impacts. It should also be noted that the fact that a substantial part of the activity is carried out outside the European Union, in a context of local rules and priorities, is also an added difficulty.
Despite these challenges, for the first time this year we have been able to recognise the alignment of some of our activities in the Environment Business Area, specifically those of the EGF Group companies. This is the case with the activities described in the taxonomy as follows:
Some of these activities have different technical descriptions depending on the environmental objective they contribute to, but in reality correspond to the same Mota-Engil activity, and are therefore presented together through the Turnover, CapEX and OpEX filters in the legal tables. This is what happens in the case of the two Collection activities (points b) and c) above) and what also happens in the case of the Biowaste Recovery activity through anaerobic digestion or composting in relation to the specific Composting and Anaerobic Digestion activities (points d) and e) above).
The process of assessing alignment with the Taxonomy has not undergone any significant changes compared to the previous exercise, which is essentially the same.
With the support of an external organisation, all the companies were not only asked to assess the technical criteria set out in the Taxonomy, but various awareness-raising activities were also carried out for the various teams on this specific topic, with the aim of increasing internal knowledge of the associated requirements.
With regard to alignment, both in analysing substantial contributions and in verifying that there is no significant damage, given the nature of the technical criteria to be met, the decision was made to prepare more accessible questionnaires for all eligible activities, with additional explanations to increase the readability of the criteria to be considered for verification by those responsible for each operation in each geography. These questionnaires were accompanied by some general taxonomy preparation and specific preparation for each activity, all with the collaboration of our external consultants who were also available to answer any questions that arose.
This ensured a close relationship in the evaluation of each activity without compromising technical rigour. The responses to the questionnaires, totalling around 800 datapoints, were then consolidated to determine whether they were aligned or not. All the legal requirements of substantial contribution and non-significant loss were taken into account and whenever there was difficulty in obtaining or confirming a piece of data, the decision was made to consider the requirement as unverified. Mota-Engil took a cautious stance in the assessment process, having considered many activities identified in this exercise as not fully aligned. Convergence will take place at different rates depending on the activities and their specific contexts, but it is an endeavour that Mota-Engil is committed to maintaining within what is reasonable and compatible with its business model.
The verification process of Mota Engil's Minimum Safeguards was based on a questionnaire supported by legal requirements, which was analysed centrally on the basis of internal information provided by the various business areas.
In this regard, we highlight Mota-Engil's approval of the Human Rights Policy, which is in the process of implementation and continuous adaptation of procedures and which complements the current Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct. With regard to corruption, fair competition and taxation, Mota-Engil also has policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with legal standards and promote the integrity of its operations.

Turnover, CapEx and OpEx were calculated in accordance with Annex I of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178. However, the OpEx indicator used for taxonomic purposes only considered operating expenses for which it was possible to establish uniform criteria across Mota-Engil, and was therefore limited to maintenance and repair expenses. Therefore, for the purposes of calculating Turnover and OpEx, the following items in the Consolidated Income Statement by nature were considered: 'Sales and services rendered' (see note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and 'External supplies and services - maintenance and repair' (see note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). On the other hand, for the purposes of calculating CapEx, the increases, net of disposals, of tangible assets, intangible assets and assets under right of use that occurred during the year were taken into account, excluding those relating to the concessions business in Mexico (see note 44 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements).
Mota-Engil did not implement CapEx plans that fall under point (b) of paragraph 1.1.2.2 of the aforementioned Annex I of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178.
In the cases where it was necessary to disaggregate the amounts to be allocated to each of the activities, the usual cost accounting criteria were followed and the options adopted did not have a significant impact on the figures presented. We would, however, highlight the existence of situations in which it was necessary to disaggregate data on undifferentiated waste and selectively collected bio-waste, in which cases the respective proportion of quantities was used in the part where data was available and a proportion of 50 per cent was used in the part where data was not available.
There were no situations of potential double counting in the allocation of KPIs to the various activities, in that: (i) either the KPIs were identified by company and each company corresponded to an activity; or (ii) in the case of companies with more than one activity, because their total KPIs were apportioned without overlap between the relevant activities according to the criteria indicated above. In cases where the same activity carried out fell under different activities in the taxonomy, the activities were all considered as one, in a single line.
There were no changes in Turnover, CapEx or OpEx during the year that are relevant to taxonomy information.
In addition, it should be noted that no information was disclosed on the turnover of the activity 'Collection and transport of fractionated non-hazardous waste, sorted at source | Collection and transport of non-hazardous and hazardous waste - EGF' as it was considered in the activity 'Recovery of materials from non-hazardous waste' because the former does not generate external turnover.
In the tables above there are some cases of activities with different names and descriptions being grouped together in the same line:
This choice was due to the fact that, although the descriptions of the activities within the taxonomy are different, they partially coincide, and the activities carried out by Mota-Engil can be included in both descriptions simultaneously. As the activities are unique and there is a single turnover for them, CapEx and OpEx, this option simultaneously makes it possible to increase the transparency of the information, covering all the framework situations, and to avoid any duplication of values in the respective KPIs.
In the case of the activities of Collection and transport of fractionated non-hazardous waste, sorted at source, and Collection and transport of non-hazardous and hazardous waste, the description of the activities is exactly the same under point A1 of alignment and point A2 of eligibility. This circumstance is due to the fact that the same activity is carried out by Mota Engil in different circumstances and is susceptible to different assessment of technical criteria. In the case of the activities carried out within the scope of EGF there is alignment and in the case of those carried out within the scope of Suma there is no alignment. For ease of reading, a reference to EGF and Suma has been included in the descriptions of the table itself, as applicable.
During the financial year, no change occurred in turnover, CapEx or OpEx that was relevant for taxonomic information. Mota-Engil's 2026 / 202 / 2028 bonds have no impact on the assessment of taxonomy since, without prejudice to the link between these bonds and sustainability, they are not specifically intended to finance activities aligned with the Taxonomy.
Energy and climate change play a central role in Mota Engil Group's strategy, reflected in its integrated approach to sustainability and compliance with its environmental commitments, as well as the development of new related business areas.
The Group operates in sectors with a high climate impact and as such recognises the negative impacts associated with energy consumption and direct and indirect emissions of Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gases (GHGs) [I-] [SBM-3_01; §48 a]. Mota-Engil is heavily dependent on fossil fuels (diesel in particular) resulting from its use in light and heavy vehicles, generators and diverse machinery. This dependence is particularly relevant in the E&C and waste management areas. In the construction sector, in particular, there are three important factors that affect dependence on fossil fuels and, consequently, the company's carbon footprint [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii]:
Therefore, by promoting energy efficiency measures (e.g. greater awareness among employees, process optimisation, equipment replacement, etc.) and adoption of renewable energies, he Group recognises a potentially positive mediumterm reduction in overall energy consumption and associated GHG emissions [R+], as well as an opportunity to reduce operating costs and dependence on fossil fuels [O] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
It should also be noted that direct GHG emissions (scope 1) from municipal waste treatment activities are one of the Group's main sources of emissions, particularly from the management of landfill sites[1] associated with the Environment business unit, and which are a natural consequence of this area of activity [I-] a negative impact associated with the benefit of contributing to safeguarding public health by enabling safe waste management, avoiding the proliferation of disease vectors, contamination of soil and water resources, as well as the spread of pathogens, among other potential impacts associated with incorrect waste management [I+]. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to adopt strategies such as capturing and utilising biogas for energy, promoting composting and recycling to reduce organic fractions destined for landfill, areas in which the Group's companies are active and which translate into positive impacts - namely by increasing the collection of biowaste nationwide and producing renewable energy through biogas from landfills and anaerobic digestion of organic waste, making it possible to avoid GHG emissions [R+] [SBM-3_01; §48 a] | [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii].
If on the one hand Mota-Engil operates in sectors that contribute to climate change, on the other it is recognised that these can also be a source of material risks for the Group, namely through significant climate and transition risks, which could lead to an increase in operating costs, delays in projects, imply rework/repairs, affect the health and safety of workers, lead to contractual penalties, among other factors that could affect the Group's competitiveness [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a]. In this context, Mota-Engil is carrying out a survey of climate risks across the Group, the first results of which are shown in the table below. It should be noted that in 2024 the project to assess climate risks was started by the Environment business unit, more specifically by the EGF sub-holding (concession from the Portuguese State for Urban Waste Management in 11 regional systems, corresponding to around 60 per cent of the country). This analysis followed a comprehensive approach, structured on the basis of the recommendations of the TCFD - Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. The process involved internal workshops and the definition of complete climate scenarios, with time horizons of 2026, 2030 and 2050, defined by EGF, based on projections from the IEA - International Energy Agency, IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and NGFS - Network for Greening the Financial System, allowing physical risks, transition risks and opportunities to be assessed. The process included analysing physical and market variables, as well as defining impact thresholds and CapEX and OpEX benchmarks.
Also recognised as material risks for the Group are the performance related to GHG emissions, influenced by CapEX budget restrictions and/or the lack of availability of ecological products and services on the market, as well as the difficulty in drawing up a Climate Transition Plan, within the deadlines set, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). These could lead to legal and reputational risks, customer dissatisfaction and loss of trust, contractual penalties, failure to obtain/attract finance (due to non-compliance with sustainability objectives), financial imbalances, among others [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
| Categorisation of climate risks | Description of the risk and climate element (when applicable) [E1.SBM-3_01; §18] |
Potential impact [E1.SBM-3_01; §18] |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical risks | Chronic | Change in the systems and types of precipitation Hydrological variability Water stress |
The reduction in water resources represents a critical challenge with impacts on executing works, higher operating costs and the potential occurrence of local conflicts. |
||
| Physical risks | Acute | Drought | Drought reduces the flow of water essential to the functioning of hydroelectric plants, limiting electricity generating capacity. |
||
| Physical risks | Acute | Heatwave | Outside work in high temperatures increase the risk of employee dehydration, heatstroke and exhaustion. Heatwaves also have significant impacts, especially in construction and waste treatment operations which are particularly sensitive to extreme temperatures. These phenomena can undermine timelines, reduce productivity and raise operating costs. |
| Physical risks | Acute | Heavy precipitation (rain, hail, snow/ice) Storms |
Heavy rain and strong winds pose direct risks, increasing the likelihood of falls and accidents on the job site. Excessive rainfall can compromise drainage on construction sites, cause landslides on road or railway projects and affect the safety of operations. In addition, these phenomena can cause damage to waste treatment and management infrastructures, resulting in additional costs for repair and mitigation of environmental impacts. |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical risks | Acute | Flooding | These phenomena can cause significant damage to infrastructure and equipment, interrupting construction and maintenance activities, reducing productivity and resulting in contractual penalties and additional costs. The impacts include |
|
| Physical risks | Acute | Wildfires | equipment failures, higher repair costs and project delays. |
|
| Transitional risks | Political and legal | Emerging regulation Higher price of GHG emissions Mandates and regulation on existing Litigation and penalties for adverse Climate Impacts |
The new sustainability regulations present risks, such as increased costs due to carbon taxes and mechanisms like the CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) in the European Union. Companies that fail to adapt to sustainability targets could lose access to markets or face additional expenses to comply with the standards. There is also growing pressure to reduce emissions and invest in new technologies. In addition, changes in regulations could make essential materials for the Group's activities, such as cement and steel, more expensive, affecting its competitiveness. |
|
| Transitional risks | Technology Market | Replacement of existing products and services with lower emissions options Change in client behaviour |
The new demands of the market, which are increasingly geared towards sustainability and environmental responsibility, impose significant challenges on companies. As a result, it is necessary to adapt construction projects, including the use of sustainable materials and techniques, which may imply an increase in costs. In addition, the Group will have to align itself with sustainable financial criteria in order to attract potential investors and obtain financing, taking into account the geographies in which it operates. |
|
| Transitional risks | Reputation | Changes to consumer preferences | Changes to client expectations can impact the portfolio, as sustainable business practices become a growing market demand. |
|
| Transitional risks | Reputation | Negative reactions by stakeholders Stigmatisation of the sector |
Mota-Engil is committed to reducing emissions and the energy transition, however, it faces reputational challenges related to the climate transition. Despite efforts to align with ESG criteria and legislation and meet stakeholder expectations, the Group may face public criticism if its actions are not seen as sufficient. This scenario could diminish investor interest and affect the Group's ability to compete for important contracts, especially in a context where clients in both the public and private sectors prioritise partners who demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainable business practices. |
With regard to opportunities, Mota-Engil sees the range of electric mobility solutions, carbon sequestration, smart cities and other products and services related to the transition to a low carbon economy as emerging business areas[O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a]. Mota-Engil has therefore been diversifying its operations, exploring new opportunities and innovation (Chapter 1.4.4.2), highlighting the following companies/activities, as a complement to the Group's two main business areas (Chapter 1.4.1.3.I) and value chains – E&C and Environment [SBM-3_02; §48 a]:
As part of its commitments to decarbonisation and environmental protection, the Mota-Engil Group seeks to go beyond managing the environmental aspects and impacts of its operations, recognising environmental challenges and transforming them into opportunities in its various businesses [E1-1_16; §17].
Through the "BUILDING 26 | For a Sustainable Future" initiative, the Group has adopted a development strategy for its business areas based on sustainability and innovation, awarding a central role to environmental issues and focusing especially on its carbon footprint. This strategic plan incorporates the Group's ESG goals, including ambitious targets to reduce GHG emissions and boosting the commitment to a more sustainable future [E1-1_16; §17].
Currently, Mota-Engil does not have a formalised Transition Plan. However, in 2025, it is planned to develop a Decarbonisation Plan which will start to be implemented at the end of that year at various levels of the organisation. For some of these targets, there is a commitment to develop goals compatible with limiting global heating to 1.5°C, in accordance with the Paris Agreement, validated by SBTi [E1-1_16; §17].
Given the nature of its operations, the main emissions from the Engineering & Construction area come from the value chain, requiring a strategic focus on structural partnerships with various stakeholders in the value chain. In the Environment business unit, emissions are mainly associated with landfill management, since the waste deposited continues to generate emissions over time, even after the landfills have been closed. To mitigate this impact, in addition to partnerships up the value chain, it will be essential to drive innovation and adopt technological solutions that reduce future emissions [E1-1_16; §17].
The development of the Decarbonisation Plan is scheduled for 2025. The business and sustainability strategies must be fully integrated into the Group's strategic cycles. In this context, the Corporate Climate Goals will be restructured, ensuring solid alignment with the business strategy and sufficient ambition to boost the Group's competitiveness [E1- 1_16; §17].
The successful implementation of this plan will require structured and consolidated action, including quantification of the funding required for the measures proposed. The Group is constantly evolving in terms of low-carbon products and services development, which not only reduces the environmental footprint but also support clients in their decarbonisation processes [E1-1_16; §17].
The Group's main policies covering climate changes are as follows: Human Rights Policy; Integrated SHEQ Policy (Safety, Health, Environment and Quality); Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The Group's Human Rights Policy, aligned with the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, reinforces Mota-Engil's commitment to minimise its environmental and human health impacts, to promote a more sustainable use of resources (including energy), and reduce carbon emissions, among others. The SHEQ Policy is responsible for responding to the challenges of climate change, ecosystem and natural habitat degradation, and scarcity of natural resources.
Mota-Engil's SHEQ Policy is part of the Group's Integrated Management System, aligning with its Strategic Plan. Each of its areas – quality, safety, health and environment – has a letter of commitments, which sets out Mota-Engil's approach in clear and objective guidelines. This policy is aimed at the Group's operations and is transversally applicable; as regards the environmental area, it is aligned with ISO 14001 requirements. The SHEQ Policy, in its last review in 2023, began detailing Mota- ngil's climate change commitments, including [E1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | E1-2_01; §25]:
In addition, of note are the transversal commitments to [E1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | E1.MDR-P_02; §65 b]:
With regard to suppliers, it is recognised that these play an essential role in the environmental standards advocated by the Group. Therefore, the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct, in the context of sustainability and climate action, reinforces the environmental commitment, encouraging suppliers to recognise climate change and to adopt concrete mitigation targets and actions. It is expected that suppliers provide transparent information on their carbon emissions and set out ambitious reduction goals in line with the Paris Agreement. [E1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | E1.MDR-P_02; §65 b)].
The commitments laid out in these documents are aligned with the IROs identified (see "Strategy" section) [E1.MDR-P_01; §65 a] and the strategic goal of a 40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and carbon zero by 2050 (see "Targets and metrics" section), allowing the effectiveness of the Group's actions in this area, among other existing mechanisms, to be monitored and assessed. [E1.MDR-P_01; §65 a]
The above information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
In order to reduce its carbon footprint, Mota-Engil Group has various actions underway thar include its own emissions that have an impact on the value chain. With approval of the strategy, the aim is to increase the scale of implementation of the initiatives and make the actions of the entire Group more transversal at this level, identifying new adaptation and mitigation actions to be undertaken and green funding opportunities to support the energy transition process.
Among the types of action undertaken by the Group's companies are [E1.MDR-A_01; §68 a)]:
As far as the Environment business area is concerned, it is worth highlighting the effort that goes into the efficient management of landfill sites, in particular the drainage networks, biogas and burning systems - with the production of electricity and its injection into the national electricity grid - as is currently the case at most of EGF's (Portugal) active landfill sites. This allows a significant portion of methane emissions to be transformed into biogenic carbon dioxide, minimising the amount of GHG emissions.
In order to promote transversal action inside Mota-Engil, the Climate & Decarbonisation Working Group (Clima@ME) was set up in 2022. Its purpose is to promote positive management of the carbon footprint inside Mota-Engil, which includes optimised measuring and accounting of the footprint and now foresees promotion of the Group's Decarbonisation Plan. The Group recognises the importance of this initiative to face the climate challenges and align it with more solid and robust action. Thus it wants to promote shared responsibility, innovation, transparency and involvement with critical stakeholders [E1.MDR-A_01; §68 a)].
It should be noted that in 2024 the Mota-Engil Group participated in the CDP for the first time, obtaining a B- ranking in the climate category. This result reflects the commitment to transparency in the management of climate issues and marks the start of a process of continual improvement. The ranking indicates that, while the Group has implemented various measures in this area, it can still improve.
Below are some of the initiatives implemented in 2024 or that have seen important developments and have contributed to: (1) reducing the Group's carbon footprint; (2) illustrating specific actions and projects that impact on Mota- ngil's value chain and the way the Group is responding, in terms of strategy and business model, to the challenges raised by the more general context of sustainability and climate change in particular. It is important to emphasise that the initiatives reported take place at the individual level of each company. To this moment, no corporate actions have been reported, since there is no decarbonisation plan for the Group. Consequently, no mapping of decarbonisation levers has been carried out [E1-3_05; §29].
In 2024, we began a project to modernise two bituminous mixture production plants aimed at decarbonisation, materials circularity and construction digitisation. The initiative reduces the use of fossil fuels via electrification of the process whenever possible, contributing to a reduction in GHG emissions. Moreover, it promotes the re-use of resources by incorporating milled material into restored paving to produce new bituminous mixtures. These measures predict a reduce of 10,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent [E1-3_05; §29 b].
The need to allocate resources in this project, particularly financial ones, was very significant to fund the necessary innovative technologies, such as the electrification of plants and adoption of more sustainable processes. The project stems from an application in 2022 with regard to Notice No. 02/C11-i01/2022, Decarbonisation of Industry and Business Capacity-Building Roadmaps, resulting from Component 11 (C11) – Decarbonisation of Industry in the Climate Transition Dimension of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), approved by mid 2023. The project began in 2024 with an order to the supplier for equipment to be installed in the plants, which should occur by mid-2025. [E1.MDR-A_06; §69 a)].
The allocation of qualified human resources is also essential to implement technological and operating changes, ensuring the transition to more sustainable processes. Furthermore, the availability of sustainable materials, such as milled material, is crucial to increase circularity in the process, seeing as the replacement of natural aggregate depends on a competitive market and stable supply. The allocation of resources to areas such as digitisation and implementation of new technologies will allow greater production efficiency, ensuring the project's effectiveness [E1-3_05; AR 21].
A first version of the transition plan will be published in 2025. Capital (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) will then be estimated [E1.MDR-A_09; §69 b)] [E1.MDR-A_11; §69 c)] [E1.MDR-A_10; §69 b)] [E1.MDR-A_12; §69 c).
The main aim of the rehabilitation project is to construct a metropolitan multipurpose facility to capitalise on the site's great potential related to the availability of space, easy access and proximity to the centre of Porto and important urban amenities, such as the Dragão Stadium and the Campanhã Intermodal Terminal. This project will have an impact on the local economy and contribute to the regeneration of the entire area, improving not only local infrastructure but also endowing the area with new services. It will be a certified sustainable construction project (LEED).
Under the M-odu (the former Matadouro) project, the Porto Climate Pact invited EMERGE Mota-Engil Real Estate Developers to send a supporting letter, in the capacity of stakeholder, to apply to the 3rd Notice of the European Urban Initiative focused on energy transition. The initiative aims to promote energy efficiency and the transition to renewable energy sources, involving the local authority, Porto, employees and the local community. In the action "Support the Application – 3rd Notice of the European Urban Initiative | Porto Climate Pact", the project to requalify the former Matadouro Industrial required an international public competition, launched by Porto Municipal Council in 2017, and approval by the Court of Audit in 2020, allowing the development to start with an investment of €40 million [E1.MDR-A_06; §69 a)]. Success of this project resulted from effective articulation between private capital, public management and compliance with legal requirements. Efficient allocation of financial resources and compliance with legal norms were key to achieving this [E1-3_05; AR 21].
Under the "Support the Application – 3rd Notice of the European Urban Initiative | Porto Climate Pact" action, the project began in 2022 with the demolition of the existing structures. In 2023, the general works contract commenced and, in 2024, the construction work proceeded with the rehabilitation of the buildings to be preserved and the construction of the planned new ones. The footbridge will soon be installed to link the Dragão metro station to the Matadouro, which is advancing as the project develops [E1.MDR-A_05; §68 e)].
To date, it has not been possible to estimate the reduction of GHG emissions for all initiatives, and this topic will be reassessed in the development of the Transition Plan [E1-3_05; §29 b]. This also applies to capital expenditure (CapEX) or operating expenditure (OpEX) [E1.MDR-A_09; §69 b)] [E1.MDR-A_11; §69 c)] [E1.MDR-A_10; §69 b)] [E1.MDR-A_12; §69 c)].
Construction of the Aztlán Urban Park incorporates sustainable practices to minimise the environmental impact and reduce CO₂ emissions. 18,700 m³ of low carbon cement were produced, resulting in a reduction of 2,589 tCO₂e, equivalent to planting 42,807 trees. In addition, 700 trees and 400 shrubs were planted and eco-solutions adopted such as green roofs and a water treatment station. To promote the circular economy, demolition materials such as aggregates were recycled and re-used in exterior paving. These measures boost sustainability, efficient use of resources and reducing emissions, achieving a total reduction of 2,5 5 tCO₂e [E1-3_05; §29 b].
It should be mentioned that the ability to implement the project to construct an urban park with sustainable materials directly depends on the availability and effective allocation of resources. The existence of adequate financial resources is essential to support the use of sustainable technologies and materials, while the public policies and the evolution of the market are key factors to facilitate access to these solutions. Moreover, the execution of the project requires skilled labour and specialised infrastructure. The management and adequate allocation of these resources are crucial to ensure the viability and success of the sustainable initiatives [E1-3_05; AR 21 | E1.MDR-A_06; §69 a)].
The Tren Maya project consists of the construction of a railway line using materials that minimise the environmental impact. One of the main components used is Vertua concrete, a low-carbon solution that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions compared to conventional concrete. Developed for high performance and sustainability, this material contributes to more resistant and environmentally responsible infrastructure. Besides reducing GHG emissions, Vertua concrete is aligned with decarbonisation policies, promoting a more efficient and durable construction that needs less maintenance.
The use of Vertua concrete, an innovative low-carbon solution, requires financial resources to procure and apply. This material can be more expensive than conventional concrete, and the availability of specialised suppliers, as well as the technical capacity to work with this type of concrete, are essential to ensure the project's successful execution. The allocation of skilled human resources is also important to ensure the effective use of Vertua concrete to build the rail project. Moreover, the necessary infrastructure to produce and apply Vertua concrete must align with the technical requirements, which entails effective management of all the resources involved in the project [E1-3_05; AR 21]. "Tren Maya" is in its final stages. In total, the initiative allowed a reduction of 39 ktCO₂e [E1.MDR-A_05; §68 e)] [E1-3_05; §29 b].
The use of this type of solution depends on conducive public policies, such as a regulatory environment that favours sustainable construction and the evolution of the sustainable materials market [E1.MDR-A_06; §69 a)].
Mota-Engil Renewing and Intermarché Cuba (Beja) set up a decarbonisation partnership to create an ultrarapid public electric charging service. This initiative allows customers to charge their vehicles while shopping, promoting energy efficiency, transition to renewable energy sources and a reduction in GHG emissions. As a result, the reduction in GHG emissions achieved was 885 tCO2e [E1-3_05; §29 b].
Future action plans in this area have not yet been reported. Of particular note is the development of the Transition Plan, which will indicate the actions that must be carried out in order to fulfil the Group's objectives.
Mota-Engil Group is committed to achieving climate transition and net-zero emissions by 2050 by introducing circularity principles throughout its businesses, higher renewable energy use and implement new sustainable solutions and innovations.
Of note is the strategic goal of reducing 40% of GHG emissions by 2030 vs. the baseline year of 2021 [E1.MDR-T_02; §80 b)] [E1.MDR-T_03; §80 b)]. The target covers Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) [AR 24] and Scope 3 emissions, though currently only two categories are calculated: Scope 1 and 3 [§34 b)]. The target of reducing 40% of GHG emissions by 2030 are not disaggregated by the calculation scope [E1-4_06 | E1-4_17; §34].
To ensure consistency with the GHG inventory, the calculation reference and targets were set in alignment with the GHG Protocol. This focus assures clear limits, robust data, document transparency and a continual process of revision and improvement [E1.MDR-T_09; §80 f)] [E1-4_18; §34 b)].
To set the target, CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and HFCs were the GHGs considered [§34 b)] [AR 24]. This target applies to all Group companies in the different geographies where it operates, as well as in the value chain [E1.MDR-T_04; §80 c].
The GHG emissions reduction target is aligned with the commitments set out in the Group's SHEQ Policy on climate change. Specifically, via implementation of actions to reduce GHG emissions, as well as the optimisation of the Group's processes, in line with the strategic goals, to minimise GHG emissions [E1.MDR-T_01; §80 a)].

Note 2: No intermediate milestones have been set for the target [E1.MDR-T_08; §80 e].
Note 3: The intensity target has not yet been set [E1-4_05; §34 a)].
Note 4: The historic values may be updated whenever relevant. Mota-Engil is committed to continually improving its calculation methodologies in the constant aim of greater accuracy. Whenever possible, these improvements are also applied retroactively to preserve data comparability over time. Changes were recorded relative to earlier reporting periods, with the respective adjustments made to the comparative information. The Mota-Engil Central Europe and Real Estate Poland business units, previously included in the E&C Europa and MEXT areas, were removed from earlier years, given that they ceased to be part of Mota-Engil Group. The data records were thereby updated, and the real data for December included. The figure for 2023 was therefore updated compared to the year before. See the methodology notes in the "Targets and metrics" section for more information [E1-4_21; AR 25 b) | [BP-2_10;§13 a)].
Note 5: this metric is subject to external verification within the scope of this report and is not verified by any other entity [E1.MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
The target is based on a comparative study of Mota-Engil's direct competitors. Through external reporting benchmarking of companies in the sector, the practices adopted and relevant benchmarks identified were assessed. Formalisation of this commitment involved internal stakeholder participation, including members of the board and heads of the respective areas [E1.MDR-T_11; §80 h)].
In this context, the target sought to position the company as a leader, ensuring a level of ambition at least equivalent to that of its chief market peers [E1.MDR-T_09; §80 f)] [E1-4_22; §34 e)]. It should be mentioned that this GHG emissions reduction target is not based on scientific criteria, including scenario analysis [E1.MDR-T_09; §80 g)] [E1-4_22; §34 e)] [§34 e)]; neither is it based on a sectoral or intersectoral emissions benchmark [AR 26]. The base year includes all the activities of the Mota-Engil Group and is updated whenever necessary to ensure comparability between years. Potential anomalies from external factors were not taken into account when selecting this year. [AR 25]. Though this target is not externally verified, the data monitoring its attainment are audited within the scope of the current report [§34 e)] [MDR-M 77b].
Information about this target is collected and monitored through a reporting and sustainability information management platform whose activity data are collected monthly and per company [E1.MDR-T_13; §80 j)]. Some of these data include estimates for November and December. The baseline year includes all Mota-Engil Group business units and was set as 2021, due to better data quality and the fact that, for the first time, they were externally audited. However, the target will be revised in the next reporting year [E1.MDR-T_09; §80 f)].
According to the information collected, the main GHG emissions are centred on process emissions associated with waste treatment and the production of purchased materials (suppliers). Depending on the decarbonisation plan, the main decarbonisation levers for meeting the target will be defined later, as will the possible adoption of new technologies to meet the carbon target [E1-4_23; §34 f)].
[E1-5]
The Group operates in sectors that are highly dependent on fossil fuels (primarily diesel) due to their use in light and heavy vehicles, generators and various machinery. This dependence is particularly relevant in the E&C and waste BUs.
Energy consumption in operations controlled by the Group is shown below. In 2024, the energy spread in Group operations was 65% fossil fuels [E1-5_15; AR34], 0% nuclear energy [E1-5_04; AR34] and 35% renewable sources [E1- 5_09; AR34].

Note: Changes were made relative to earlier reporting periods, with the necessary adjustments to the comparative information. The Mota-Engil Central Europe and Real Estate Poland BUs, formerly included in the E&C Europa and MEXT areas, were removed from prior years, as they ceased to be part of Mota-Engil Group. As a result, data records were updated and the data on electricity acquisition for these companies in the records were excluded [BP-2_10; §13 a)]. Energy consumption data was estimated for the months of November and December, with the exception of biogas from landfills and EGF's anaerobic digestion, as well as waste incinerated by the same organisation [E1.MDR-M_02; §77 a)].
In the construction sector in particular, there are three key factors that affect the company's fossil fuel dependence:
The Mota-Engil business has close ties to the energy sector, especially energy production for the Group's own use and the feeding of the excess into the national grid, with particular mention for EGF Portugal's companies. These companies produce energy from urban waste, both from biogas produced at organic valorisation plants and sanitary landfills, and from incineration (Valorsul Energy Valorisation Plant). Also of note is Generadora Fénix, established in 2015 as a partnership between Mota-Engil Group and the Mexican Electricians' Union. It was the first private electricity generating company in Mexico's liberalised market. The company has a number of hydroelectric operating assets.

The sectors with a high climate impact considered to determine energy intensity were those with operations in the areas of E&C, waste management and Real Estate. Thus, all companies in the E&C Europe, E&C Africa, E&C LATAM, Environment and MEXT business units were included [E1-5_20; §42].
See the methodology notes associated with climate change below.
The Group's carbon footprint is calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol, which includes all the Group's business areas, following an operational control approach. It should be noted that Mota-Engil continuously improves its methodologies for calculating GHG emissions, endeavouring to carry out a more robust and comprehensive calculation.
Direct GHG emissions from municipal waste treatment are one of the main sources of emissions. When waste is deposited in landfill sites, it undergoes a slow process of anaerobic degradation of the available organic matter over time, with the consequent generation of methane (CH4), the main constituent of landfill biogas. The kinetics of this reaction correspond to a first-order mathematical equation, which forms the basis of the models for quantifying landfill emissions recommended by the IPCC Guidelines. Also noteworthy is the use of biogas in the motor-generators of landfill energy production centres and anaerobic digestion, the biological treatment of waste through composting and energy recovery.
In addition to this source of GHG emissions, the indirect emissions associated with the Mota-Engil Group's value chain are also one of the main contributors to the Group's carbon footprint. In this context, the GHG emissions associated with the production of purchased goods (category 1) are calculated, and the E&C area contributes significantly to this category, due to the type and quantity of materials purchased, such as steel, cement and aggregates, which have high GHG emissions associated with their manufacture.
Although the data for these metrics is not externally verified, the data monitoring their fulfilment is audited as part of this report [MDR-M 77b].

Note 1: Due to the extension and coverage of the methodology notes, it was decided to include them in the total emissions summary table. Note 2: CO2 emissions of biogenic origin are not included in Scope 1. These essentially represent emissions associated with waste treatment by Triaza, Grupo EGF and Clean Eburnie. In 2024, these companies produced 634,711 tonnes of biogenic CO2e [E1-6_17; §50 a) | AR 43 c)].
Scope 1 GHG emissions, corresponding to direct emissions from Group operations, include emissions due to fuel burned by the vehicle fleet and fixed equipment, fluorinated gas leaks and emissions associated with waste treatment. The main sources of information for the factors used are: EPA - Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories, DEFRA - Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). Waste treatment is framed within this category in accordance with the subcategory of physical/chemical processing defined by the GHG Protocol. GHG emissions from burning fuel were calculated based on the data reported in ESRS E1-5. Emissions associated with fluorinated gas leaks were determined based on the quantity of gases acquired to recharge existing equipment. Regarding waste treatment, emissions from landfill management operations, incinerators and the biological treatment unit were included. Calculation of these emissions is based on estimates, namely of diffuse landfill methane emissions and direct measuring on the motor generators of landfill and anaerobic digestion energy production centres [E1-6_15; AR 39 b) | §50 a)] [E1.MDR-M_02; §77 a)] [BP-2_09; §11 b) ii.].
In Scope 1, 2 and 3, the reported data were obtained by using emission factors by categories over directly measured activity data. However, it is of note that data from fuel, energy, fluorinated gases and materials for November and December were estimated, contributing to an extra degree of uncertainty in the measuring [BP-2_07; §11 a)] [BP-2_08; §11 b) i.]. [BP-2_07; §11 a)]. [E1-6_25; AR 46 g)]. [BP-2_07; §11 a)], [BP-2_08; §11 b) i.] Whenever relevant, Mota-Engil does an annual update of the emission factors using the latest data available [E1-6_16; AR 42 c)].

Note: Due to the extension and coverage of the methodology notes, it was decided to include them in the total emissions summary table.
Mota-Engil Group calculated Scope 2 emissions by using both the location-based and market-based approaches. For this calculation, only public emission factors were used. The main sources of emission factors are: IRENA - International Renewable Energy Agency, IEA - International Energy Agency and IGES - Institute for Global Environmental Strategies. However, due to the unavailability of data for some countries, certain assumptions and simplifications had to be made. Whenever the suppliers' emission factors are not available, they have been assumed to be equal to the average factors for each country/region [E1-6_16; AR 39 b) | §50 a)] [E1.MDR-M_02; §77 a)] [BP-2_09; §11 b) ii.] [BP-2_08; §11 b) i.]. The emission factors applied, both in the location-based and market-based approaches, only consider CO₂ emissions and do not include other GHG emissions, such as CH₄ and N₂O. Moreover, biogenic CO₂ is not included. Therefore, no figures are given for biogenic CO₂ emissions from biomass combustion and biodegradation not included in Scope 2 – Location or market based [E1-6_24; §50 a) | AR 45 e)].
Mota-Engil does not have market-based Scope 2 emissions from the purchase, through contractual instruments, of 100% renewable electricity. [E1-6_18; AR 45 d)] [E1-6_19; AR 45 d)].
Mota-Engil considers Category 1 – Purchased goods and services and Category 3 – Fuel- and energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 or 2) as significant categories for its activities. These categories are therefore included in the Scope 3 emissions inventory. The other Scope 3 GHG emissions categories were excluded from the inventory as considered insignificant to the Group's carbon footprint, based on preliminary analysis and external benchmarking. However, these categories may be reassessed in the future to ensure fuller quantification of Scope 3 emissions [AR 45 e)] [E1-6_26; AR 46 i)] [E1-6_27; AR 46 i)].
| Scope 3 GHG emissions (according to the GHG protocol) | Unit | 2024 |

| Category 1 – Purchased goods and services | tCO₂e | 1,755,589 |
| Category 3 – Fuel- and energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 and 2) | tCO₂e | 151,143 |
Note: Due to the extension and coverage of the methodology notes, it was decided to include them in the total emissions summary table.
Mota-Engil identified the significant scope 3 categories based on preliminary, sectoral analyses and external benchmarking, which led to the conclusion that Category 1 – Purchased goods and services and Category 11 - Use of sold products are the most significant for its activity. In 2024 it was not possible to include emissions from Category 11 in the scope 3 emissions inventory, and work is underway to report on this in 2025. According to the analysis carried out for the construction sector, this category represents on average around 30 % of scope 3 emissions [E1-6_29; AR 46 d)].
In category 1, the emissions associated with the consumption of purchased products have been estimated, taking into account financially relevant materials that can be monitored by weight or volume. All this data is collected through information from the supplier. Global weight-based emission factors were used (mainly DEFRA, UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting). Emissions associated with purchased services are not included [E1-6_29; AR 46 h)] [E1-6_15; AR 39 b)] [E1.MDR-M_02; §77 a)] [BP-2_09; §11 b) ii.].
In category 3, emissions related to fuels and energy not included in scopes 1 and 2 were calculated using the same activity data as scopes 1 and 2, based on supplier data. This includes upstream emissions from the purchase of fuels and electricity, as well as losses in the distribution network. Global average emission factors have been applied and where possible by country, mainly DEFRA, UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting) [E1-6_29; AR 46 h)] [E1-6_15; AR 39 b)] [E1.MDR-M_02; §77 a)] [BP-2_09; §11 b) ii.].

Note 1: Changes were recorded relative to earlier reporting periods, with the respective adjustments made to the comparative information. The Mota-Engil Central Europe and Real Estate Poland business units, previously included in the E&C Europa and MEXT areas, were removed from earlier years, given that they ceased to be part of Mota-Engil Group. The data records were thereby updated, and the data for purchased products, fuel and electricity consumption and fluorinated gas leaks in these companies for past years was excluded [BP-2_10; §13 a)]. This adjustment in historical data ensures the comparability of 2024 data with previous years, ensuring a consistent analysis of GHG emissions evolution [BP-2_11; §13 b)]. Definitions: TBD – to be defined; NR – not relevant; NA – not applicable, i.e. does not exist within the Group; NC – not calculated but considered relevant.

It is important to highlight that all net revenue were used to calculate GHG emissions intensity, which means that all of the available financial data were used for the analysis.
Mota-Engil's operations do not conduct GHG removal or storage in its operations or value chain. Moreover, the Group does not use carbon credits separately from its GHG emissions or its emissions reduction targets, in line with E1-4 disclosure requirements. The Group does not discard the possibility of using future carbon credits. However, Mota-Engil will prioritise reducing emissions over offsetting.
Mota-Engil does not have an internal carbon-pricing system. This is under review by the Group.
In line with Appendix C of the ESRS 1, Mota-Engil chose to omit information on the expected financial effects of climate change-related impacts, risks and opportunities in this first reporting year.
Mota-Engil's business strategy and model are closely aligned with the circular economy and sustainable use of resources. In particular, they are reflected in: (1) the Environment business unit, which is part of the waste value chain in various geographies; (2) the E&C, whose operations represent a major consumer of resources, especially non-renewable materials, and are responsible for the significant creation of waste and greenhouse gas emissions (Chapter. 1.4.2.2).
With regard to Mota-Engil's Environment business unit, it represents a fundamental pillar of the Group's business diversification, standing out for its activities in Portugal, Africa and Latin America.
Suma Group contributes to the circular economy by supplying selective and unsorted waste collection services, as well as the transport of urban and other waste to its clients in Portugal and internationally [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii]. In turn, EGF Group, comprising concessionaire companies, contributes to the circular economy through urban waste management aimed at running and managing a treatment system and selective urban waste collection [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii], which includes:
Mota-Engil's strategy for this unit involves consolidating its position in current markets, expanding its range of services and investing in new international projects in line with its Strategic Plan 2022-2026 [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii]. This positioning places the company in an advantageous position to capitalise emerging opportunities in waste management and the circular economy [O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a]. However, it is not risk free, considering that the insufficient waste disposal and/or ineffective separation by the population can result in non-compliance with national environmental goals [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a] | [SBM-3_07; §48 c iv]. Therefore, the Group has bet heavily on educational and awareness campaigns to improve people's waste separation habits and thereby foster good waste management, materials circularity and reduce public health risks (Chapter. 1.4.3.3.).
With regard to E&C and other operations, Mota-Engil recognises that the use of renewable and non-renewable resources may lead to negative long-term impacts on their availability to future generations [I-] [SBM-3_01; §48 a]. Its dependence on these resources constitutes a risk for the Group itself, which could result in a lack of availability and/or limitations on the extraction and use of non-renewable resources up the value chain, with an impact on its operations [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
Its operations also create large quantities of solid waste and it is recognised that improper management of may lead to potential environmental impacts [I-], risks to the health and safety of workers and the surrounding communities, and an increase in costs related to waste management, legal, regulatory and/or contractual penalties, client dissatisfaction, and the inability to obtain financing, with resulting financial impacts [R] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
At the same time, the Group regards waste management and the adoption of good practices in this area as an opportunity to foster circularity and reduce environmental impacts, with resulting implications on finances, the Group's reputation and the ability to attract funding, among others [O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a]. The focus on sustainable and certified construction, highlighting Mota-Engil Real Estate Developers, has allowed the Group to position itself as a leading partner on projects that follow demanding environmental standards, such as LEED and BREEAM. [O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
Therefore, a Mota-Engil is committed to the responsible use and management of natural resources via the adoption of solutions promoting materials circularity, resource optimisation and ecosystems protection.
Mota-Engil's SHEQ Policy is included in the Group's Integrated Management System, aligning it with its Strategic Plan. Each of the areas – safety, health, environment and quality – has a charter of commitment which translates Mota-Engil's approach into clear and objective guidelines. This policy is aimed at the Group's operations and is applied transversally; it is aligned with ISO 14001 requirements and, concerning IROs identified within the scope of the circular economy, expresses the commitment to minimise waste creation and promote reuse in operations, promoting circularity, which is monitored based on the strategic aim of reaching 80% of waste recovered by 2030 (see "Targets and metrics" section). [E5.MDR-P_01; §65a | E5.MDR-P_02; §65b]. In addition, highlighted are the commitments to monitor and continually improve the goals and environmental indicators, and implement the "golden rules" transversally, among others [E5.MDR-P_01; §65a| E5.MDR-P_02; §65b].
Although not directly expressed in the Policy, it is considered that the transition to reducing the use of virgin resources, including increasing the use of secondary (recycled) resources, and the sustainable sourcing and use of renewable resources can be important actions for achieving the commitments listed in the Policy. These commitments, combined with the objectives of minimising waste generation and encouraging reuse practices in operations and the consumption and/or acquisition of materials with lower greenhouse gas emissions intensity, are promoters of circularity. [E5-1_01; §15 a) | E5-1_02; §15 b)].
Equally, it is regarded that underlying the SHEQ Policy is a management approach based on the waste hierarchy associated with the goal of minimising waste creation and promoting reuse practices in the operations, an aspect included in the environmental management plan and the recently published Circularity Manual (see the "Actions and resources" section). It should be highlighted that this manual implements the Group's commitments in this area, allied to the goal of harmonising the base concepts, tools, guidance and reporting methodologies. Another equally impactful measure that fosters Mota-Engil's commitments in this area is the development of digital tools, such as the waste marketplace and environmental indicator reporting projects (see "Actions and resources" section). [E5-1_03; AR 9a | E5-1_04; AR 9b].
The above information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
• SHEQ Policy presentation: MDR-P, ESRS 2, §65 b/c/d/e/f – Chapter. 1.4.4.3. (Policies).
Considering that the IRO identified by Mota Engil have two distinct dimensions, (1) relating to the management of resources and promotion of the circular economy in the Group's operations and (2) relating to the impact generated by the Environment Business Unit (reference is also made to Chapter. 1.4.3.3., where some of the actions carried out in this area are explored in more detail).
To promote circularity, the internal Sustainability Working Group (SWG) on Circularity was created. Its mission is to ensure consistency and transversality in Mota-Engil's actions by addressing areas such as the efficient use of resources, construction and demolition waste (CDW) management, energy efficiency throughout the product and material lifecycle, digitisation and consistent information reporting, and skills development. It aims to integrate the principles of the circular economy in all stages of the lifecycle of infrastructure and productive processes, promoting knowledge sharing and good practices. The SWG involves participants from different Mota-Engil Group companies and holds periodic meetings throughout the year.
Various actions are underway to manage the IROs identified whose goal is to reduce dependence on natural resources and to optimise the consumption of material resources, as well as promote circularity (see table) – in particular in the construction business where this is most intense and therefore align with sustainable construction practices. The main areas of Mota-Engil's action are aimed at reduction, reuse, recycling, choice of materials and digitisation. Also of note is the importance of integration and participation in collaborative initiatives, with the focus on the Circular Economy Collaborative Lab (CECOLAB) [MDR-A_01; 68 a].
In 2024, as a priority structuring measure, the Mota-Engil Group Circularity Manual was published with the goal of harmonising concepts and good practices with the principles of the circular economy (see table). This initiative stems from the goal of fostering and sharing knowledge and practices between Group companies, the first initiative of which was the development and communication of the Site Manual in 2022–2023 to serve as a reference for best construction, sustainability and circular economy practices implemented in the Group's projects. [E5.MDR-A_01; §68 a)].
In the context of the digitisation of processes, of note was the start of the Marketplace, ME Zero Waste and Loop ME projects, alongside the launch of ZGIA – Environmental Indicators Reporting Tool. These promote good internal practices in the company's operations, ensuring correct waste management and monitoring. [E5.MDR-A_01; §68 a)].
A few examples are presented here of the incorporation of circular economy principles into the Group's operations [E5.MDR-A_01; §68 a)].

Of the solvents used in testing (980 litres), it was managed to recover around 69% (680 litres) for re-use in 2024. Main Goals: • Minimisation of disposal of chemical products and reduction in the environmental footprint; • Promoting the circular economy by re using resources, aligning with the target to valorise waste and incentivising the recovery and re-use of materials; |
| Incorporation of CDW in E&C contracts. |
Adopted and planned |
Effective in Portugal and being implemented in other countries E&C ME contracts |
Ongoing | Mota-Engil, Engenharia e Construção, SA (Portugal) optimises construction logistics and sites to increase circularity, incorporating recycled materials. Following legal requirements to categorise CDW, it always reuses them whenever possible in its own, third-party and temporary projects. With the chapter on waste in the Circularity Manual, these practices are being disseminated globally for transversal implementation. Examples: |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • The recovery and reuse of wood; • The crushing of waste bituminous mixture (99.4% incorporation) and concrete waste for use in building base and sub base layers of paths, in-fills, etc.; • The reuse of former railway ballast in top layers, technical blocks, paving and drains (99.49 incorporation); • Sending of CDW such as iron, brick and concrete blocks to be recycled and reintegrated as raw material in manufacturing processes for similar new materials. |

Main Goals: • Compliance with the legal obligations on disposal of the waste created; • Improved environmental performance; • Recovery of at least 80% of waste created (Group's strategic targetl). |
Implementation of these actions does not require significant (current and future) capital (CapEx) or operating expenditure (OpEx) [MDR-A_09 | MDR-A_12; §69 c].
The ability to carry out the actions depends on specific preconditions, such as local legislation, client requirements, the characteristics of the projects and their geographical context. For example, in some regions, such as the African continent, there are significant limitations related to waste management, due to the lack of adequate infrastructure and local regulations. These limitations can influence the way in which actions are implemented, making it necessary to adjust action plans to the specific conditions and contexts of each location [MDR-A_06; §69 a].
All the actions described make it possible to mitigate possible environmental impacts resulting from the need to purchase raw materials and incorrect waste management, thus promoting circularity [E5.MDR-A_04; §68 d]. It should also be noted that whenever incorrect waste management is identified, corrective measures are taken to minimise environmental impacts. An action plan is drawn up and its effectiveness assessed. Only after the effectiveness has been assessed is the finding closed. Mota-Engil also works to train and sensitise its employees and subcontractors in direct operations. All projects/companies have an Environmental Management Plan that includes other plans, such as the Waste Management Plan, which defines the correct management of waste. All projects/companies assess risks and opportunities, particularly environmental risks. At project level, environmental impacts are assessed and significant environmental aspects are identified, and mitigation measures to be implemented in the project/company are defined [E5.MDR-A_04; §68 d].
Mota-Engil contributes to the circular economy by acting as an operator in the management of urban and other waste, both in the regulated market, through its public service concessionaires (EGF group in Portugal, among other companies), and in the free market (SUMA group, among other companies).
It should be noted that, within the scope of the defined contracts, the Group's companies continually carry out various communication and environmental education campaigns, among other initiatives, aimed at promoting consumer literacy. They have various communication channels available, including the recycling line.
The actions listed in the table below indirectly contribute to increasing the utilisation rates of secondary raw materials (recyclates) by improving the efficiency of recycling processes [E5-2_02; §20 b)]. They also encourage circularity by promoting the reuse and recovery of end-of-life materials [E5-2_04; §20 d)]. By raising awareness and influencing the communities served, these actions help to reduce the generation of waste along the value chain, both upstream and downstream of the Group, by encouraging the separation and recycling of waste through communication campaigns and awareness-raising initiatives [E5-2_05; §20 e)]. n this way, they contribute to the application of the waste management hierarchy, prioritising the reuse and recycling phases [E5-2_06; §20 f)].

The actions do not involve significant capital expenditure (CapEX) [MDR-A_09; §69 b | MDR-A_11; §69 c], but do require operating expenditure (OpEX) [MDR-A_10; §69 b | MDR-A_12; §69 c].
In addition, the following cooperative measures with the value chain and local network to increase the circularity of products and materials involving various stakeholders are highlighted [E5-2_07; AR11 | E5-2_07; AR12 b)]:
a) Glass + Plataform – Collaboration with various stakeholders in the glass value chain, including glassmakers, packers and waste collection and treatment companies.
b) Resource – Collaborative platform in the packaging waste sector, bringing together various stakeholders in the packaging value chain, such as packers, distributors and packaging waste management systems (PWMS).
c) Textiles Waste Observatory – Partnership with stakeholders in the textiles value chain, including producers, distributors and PWMS, to promote circularity in this sector.
d) AVALER – Association of Energy Valorisation Companies, in the aim of promoting energy valorisation solutions and waste circularity.
Besides the participation of the initiative below, of note is the Open Innovation 2024 - Valorsul focused on collaboration in open innovation, fostering development of new solutions for waste management.
[E5-3, E5-4, E5-5, E5-6, MDR-T, MDR-M, BP-2]
Targets related to resource utilisation and the circular economy [E5-3, MDR-T]
Waste recovery is one of the strategic goals included in the Mota Engil Strategic Plan 2022–2026 (Chapter. 1.2.2). The Group aims to recover 80% of waste by 2030 [MDR-T_03; §80 b] [MDR-T_07; §80 e]. The directing of waste to a suitable final destination is essential to comply with applicable legislation and reduce the negative impacts on the environment and local communities.
The target reflects the importance of recovery as an initial circularity measure, allowing the re-use of resources. In line with the SHEQ Policy, the aim is to manage the environmental aspects and impacts associated with the Group's activity, minimise waste production and promote re-use/valorisation practices in the operations [E5-MDR-T_01; §80 a)].
It is directly related to resources fows (inputs and outputs) [E5-3_01; §24]. With regard to resource input, the recovery of waste, namely its incorporation into construction work, contributes to reducing the use of primary raw materials. This target covers waste operations, but does not directly include the increase in the circular design of products and the purchase and use of sustainable materials. [E5-3_02/3/4/5/6/7/8; §24 a/b/c/d/e/f]. With regard to resource outputs, the recovery of waste allows it to be recycled or used by other recovery operations, rejoining the materials value chain [E5- 3_03; §24 b)]. The focus is on waste recovery via processes such as preparation for reuse, recycling and other recovery operations, with the aim of reducing the amount of waste sent to disposal [E5-3_06; §24] [E5-3_09; §25].
The target applies to all Group operations and companies in the different geographies where Mota-Engil operates [MDR-T_04; §80 c], being a voluntary adoption target, although locally there may be applicable legislation [E5-3_13; §27]. It is expressed relatively, as a percentage of tonnes of waste sent for recovery, compared to the total waste produced [E5- MDR-T_03; §80 b)].
The goal is for all business units in all geographies to adopt waste valorisation as a priority over disposal. Therefore, it is intended that valorisation should become a practice common across the Group, namely through preparation for re-use, allowing for waste to be newly used as materials [MDR-T_02; §80 b]. This approach reduces the need to acquire new resources and optimises materials management. The incorporation of waste into Mota-Engil's E&C projects avoids not only its being sent to external operators, but also the input of new resources for the execution of the works, replacing conventional materials with waste of a similar quality. Whenever it is necessary to use waste management operators, preference will be given to recovery operations rather than disposal. It is recognised that this objective is ambitious, especially in geographies where waste management is still developing and where regulation and the supply of providers are limited.
The target was based on a benchmarking study conducted on Mota-Engil Group's peers and an assessment of sectoral trends and is not science-based [E5-MDR-T_10; §80 g)]. The analysis allowed market practices to be compared and to establish an ambitious goal, positioning the Group in line with the main companies in the sector and assuming a leadership approach. In addition, the setting of the target was based on the Group's historical evolution, which reveals consistent and positive progress in waste recovery, reinforcing trust in its achievement [MDR-T_09; §80 f]. The formalisation of this commitment involved the participation of internal stakeholders, including members of the board and the heads of the respective areas [MDR-T_11; §80 h].

Note 1: Recovery includes preparation for re-use (checking, cleaning or repair operations), recycling and other recovery operations (in the context of waste reporting, recovery operations do not include energy recovery) [E5.MDR-T_12; §80 f)].
Note 2: There is no defined baseline, but the evolution of the indicator is assessed annually (year-on-year).
Note 3: The target and the method for calculating the metric has remained unchanged from the previous year [E5.MDR-T_12; §80 i)].
Note 4: The target has no defined intermediate milestones [E5.MDR-T_08; §80 e].
Note 5: Historical values may be subject to updates whenever relevant. Mota-Engil maintains an ongoing commitment to improving its calculation methodologies, endeavouring to ensure an increasingly complete approach. Whenever possible, these improvements are also applied retroactively in order to preserve the comparability of data over time. Changes were recorded to earlier reporting periods, with the respective adjustments in the comparative information being undertaken. The Mota-Engil Central Europe and Real Estate Poland business units, previously integrated into the E&C Europe and MEXT areas, were removed from earlier years given that they ceased to be part of Mota-Engil Group. The historical data has therefore been updated, as has the actual data for December. The 2023 figure was thus updated compared to the previous year, from 74% (the previously reported figure) to 77% (the current figure) [BP-2_10; §13 a)].
Note 6: This metric is subject to external verification within the scope of this report and is not verified by other entities [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
The valorisation rate for waste produced by the Group has evolved positively. The best results have been achieved in Europe, namely in E&C, where Mota-Engil benefits from current regulations, the availability of operators and clear guidelines, which, compared to other geographies, contribute to better structural conditions for complying with the target in implementing waste valorisation practices [E5-MDR-T_13; §80 j].
Information on this target is collected and monitored via the sustainability data reporting and management platform which enables the monthly collection of waste data, segmented by type of operation and detailed per company. The platform also facilitates the identification of those responsible for submitting and validating information, in addition to allowing the automatic detection of significant variations between months and the consolidation of annual data. The platform monitors at the company level, but improvements to the platform are expected to gather more detailed information. On this platform, the quantitative data reported refers to the waste produced by the Group's companies' own activities, including waste that falls under Mota-Engil's operational control and has been sent for recovery or disposal. It does not include waste treated by waste management companies. It does not include waste data from industrial engineering service contracts for mining clients, which are managed by them [E5-MDR-T_13; §80 j].
Daily quantities of waste produced are recorded individually for each project, contract and establishment. However, it is intended that the information is centralised on a transversal Group platform. This platform must allow the gathering of segmented data according to type and operation, promoting greater transparency and uniformity in waste management throughout the Group [E5-MDR-T_13; §80 j].
In addition, internal and external audits are conducted to verify whether monitoring is being conducted adequately and if the goal is being met. If the goal is not met, the causes must be analysed and an action plan with corrective measures implemented. The strategic targets will be revised in the next Strategic Plan, which will cover the period after 2026. The current plan relates to the 2022–2026 period. It should also be noted that this strategic goal is understood to consist of an initial circularity indicator, considering the information available, which explains why the first section of the Circularity Manual published relates to waste (see "Actions and resources" section), and that the Group is internally working on other aspects – such as circularity of materials, water and energy – for which, looking to the future, new KPIs and targets may be set [E5.MDR-T_14; §72 | E5.MDR-T_15; §72 |§81 a)].
Metrics [E5-4, E5-5, E5-6, MDR-M, BP-2]
Resource inputs
[E5-4, MDR-M, BP-2]
Mota-Engil Group depends on various resources to conduct its operations. It should be mentioned that the use of these materials can vary greatly between geographies and years, since it depends not only on the type of activity but also on the nature and size of the projects underway. In the table below, the main resource inputs are listed [E5-4 _01; §30].
Resource inputs in own operations and throughout the downstream value chain [E5-4 _01; §30]
| Products | Chemical, industrial and production products: production chemicals; other chemical products for vehicle maintenance Paint and solvents: paints, varnishes; enamels; thinners Agricultural products and soil treatment: herbicides; fungicides; pesticides; insecticides; fertiliser; chemical; fertilisers; soil additives (e.g. lime) Lubricants and fuels: oils and lubricating greases Explosives and construction materials: explosives Tyres and transport equipment: new tyres; retreaded tyres Packaging and paper materials: plastic bags and sleeves; bags from recycled sources; paper; recycled paper Batteries and accumulators: accumulators/batteries |

| Weight of biological materials used | t | 15,518 |
| Total weight of products and technical and biological materials used | t | 34,378,767 |
Note: The materials in question are those which are (financially) material and that can currently be monitored by weight or volume. Therefore, parts and accessories associated with maintaining and repairing equipment, tools, electrical, electromechanical and hydraulic material, waterproofing geotextiles and canvases, lightweight prefabricated concrete products, and protective and safety materials, among others, are excluded.
According to the information currently available in the system, data on sustainably sourced biological materials (e.g. FSC-certified wood) used in own operations is considered to be negligible. The same assumption is made for reused or recycled secondary components, secondary intermediate products and secondary materials used in own operations, such as reused soil and rock and construction and demolition waste incorporated into projects. However, it is planned to improve the collection process in order to increase the accuracy and reliability of this information [E5-4 _03; §31 b) | [E5- 4_04; §31 c) | E5-4_05; §31 c)].
In terms of incorporating secondary materials, Mota-Engil promotes the use of subproducts and waste recovery in its operations, thereby contributing to circularity and cutting consumption of primary resources. As examples, we highlight [E5-4_07; AR22]:
Reported data were obtained from various sources in addition to direct measuring [E5-4_06; §32]. Quantification of materials follows a structured methodology, ensuring data traceability and accuracy, that is subject to continual improvement. However, there are inherent limits to the processes used that must be considered. It is assumed that all materials received are used. When necessary, units are converted by using a list of standardised densities from technical tables or files on the materials (m³ for tons, reporting unit) [E5-4 _06; §32] [MDR-M_02; §77 a)] [BP-2 _08; §11 b) ii.].
For reporting purposes, the materials/products considered in this descriptor only relate to materials with financial materiality that can be currently monitored, whether in weight or volume. Therefore, items such as parts and accessories used in maintaining and repairing equipment, tools, electrical materials, electromechanical and hydraulic equipment, geotextiles, waterproofing canvas, lightweight precast concrete, etc. are excluded [BP-2 _10; §13 a)] [BP-2 _12; §13 b)] [BP-2 _12; §13 c)].
Changes were made to the information reported in previous periods, with adjustments to the data. The report for 2023 was updated with the real value for December, as in the previous report it had been estimated. The year 2024 includes estimates for November and December. It is expected that the next report will include information on reused soils, soils considered by-products and waste recovered on site, now classified as reused or recycled secondary components, secondary intermediate products and secondary materials used in own operations.
The Mota-Engil Group, waste management follows the principles of the waste management hierarchy, as established in the Circularity Manual (see 'Actions and resources' section). This manual guides the reuse of materials, preparation for reuse and waste recovery, promoting a more sustainable approach in production processes. Waste recovery includes the incorporation of Construction and Demolition Waste into the works themselves or into external projects. This practice contributes to reducing the extraction of raw materials, minimises waste production and land use and reduces the carbon footprint by reducing the need to transport materials. In addition, donations are encouraged whenever possible, promoting circularity and benefiting local communities. [E5-5 _01; §35].
It's important to emphasise that these practices are mainly present in the Group's construction projects. However, not all projects are design-build and fulfil the client's design requirements. Whenever Mota-Engil undertakes design-build, the best circularity practices are applied, such as the use of recycled materials instead of virgin materials, for example through the use of recycled bituminous mixtures, and whenever possible Mota-Engil seeks to influence the client towards the best technical and environmental solutions. A concrete example of this commitment to sustainability is the construction of the Porto Matadouro (Portugal), which obtained LEED certification (see 'Actions and resources' section), recognising its high environmental efficiency. [E5-5 _01; §35].
As construction is Mota-Engil's core business, almost all construction and demolition waste is currently valorised through processes like selective demolition, allowing the efficient re-use of materials.
Finally, it should be stressed that, in the case of the Environment BU, the compost produced by collecting organic waste from the EGF (Portugal) facilities reinforces the Group's commitment to the circular economy and environmental sustainability.
The main waste streams in the sector and in the Mota-Engil Group's activities include Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and hazardous waste. CDW is made up of different materials, such as bituminous mixtures, concrete, concrete mixtures, bricks, tiles and ceramic materials, as well as soils and rocks. This waste represents a significant part of the Group's operations. Hazardous waste, on the other hand, includes used oils and contaminated packaging, requiring specific treatment to ensure its correct management and minimise environmental and health risks [E5-5 _12; §38 a)] [E5- 5 _12; §38] [E5-5 _13; §38 a)] [E5-5 _14; §38 b)].

Data is obtained from various sources, in addition to direct measurements [E5-5 _17; §40]. Data is managed and consolidated through the sustainability data management and reporting platform mentioned above for monitoring the waste recovery target [E5-5 _17; §40] [MDR-M _02; §77 a)].
In accordance with the Circularity Manual, the forwarding of waste is always accompanied by a waste note, either the Mota-Engil model or another equivalent. In addition, the manual establishes a waste management map, which must be used throughout the organisation, ensuring uniformity. If another map is adopted, it must fully replace the model defined by the Group [E5-5 _17; §40] [MDR-M _02; §77 a).
When it is not possible to obtain the exact weight of the waste, either by Mota-Engil or operators, it is done by volume and later converted to tons, based on the density of the source materials and/or reference tables. A list of densities unique to the Group is currently under development in the aim of facilitating conversions and harmonising criteria. [E5- 5 _17; §40] [MDR-M _02; §77 a)].
It should be noted that it is not always possible to weigh waste due to the lack of scales on the premises. In some geographies, the waste management operators themselves only quantify in volume, and conversion to tonnes is necessary to ensure that the data is consolidated in the sustainability data management platform [E5-5 _17; §40] [MDR-M _02; §77 a)].
Additionally, in certain regions, waste recovery is not feasible, either due to a lack of available operators or due to the remote location of the projects. In these circumstances, the waste is forwarded for disposal [E5-5 _17; §40] [MDR-M _02; §77 a)].
In accordance with Annex C of ESRS 1, Mota-Engil has chosen to omit the communication of information on the expected financial effects of the impacts, risks and opportunities related to the use of resources and the circular economy in this first year of reporting, considering the difficulty in accurately calculating the data.
Our employees play a crucial role in the success and sustainability of Mota-Engil's business, along with the generation of social and economic impacts on the local communities where the Group operates as a result of more than 50,000 jobs created in more than 20 countries [I+]. While Mota-Engil is a Portugal-based Company, it is also a major global employer with a substantial part of its personnel – some 33,000 employees – in emerging and developing economies, in particular in Africa and Latin America. [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii].
The importance of these impacts and the Group's natural dependence on its own workforce is reflected in the results of the double materiality analysis carried out, in which the issues of occupational health and safety and talent management represent a significant number of the IROs assessed as material (approx. 37%) [S1.SBM-3_05, §13 b].
It should be noted that the strategic relevance of these issues to the workforce itself is expressed by the fact that the corporate area of Human Resources Strategy reports directly to Mota-Engil's CEO. Ensuring a safe and healthy environment for employees, promoting decent working conditions, fully integrated and disseminated throughout the different geographies, is therefore a priority for the Mota-Engil Group. These aspects are reflected in the Strategic Plan 'Building 26 for a Sustainable Future' (Chapter 1.2. 2), with emphasis on the three strategic objectives/goals related to the Mota-Engil Group's own workforce, linked to talent management - women and local talent in management positions - and to occupational health and safety - through the reduction of the LTIFR - Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate - and on which the Group developed a Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework with a horizon up to 2030. Part of these KPIs served as the basis for issuing Sustainaibility Linked-Bonds [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii].
Mota-Engil integrates the management of impacts on its workforce into its business strategy, ensuring that the impacts identified are addressed in a structured way and in line with its commitments. Impacts are analysed at local level by assessing risks and opportunities and defining mitigation measures. These results serve as one of the sources for the Mota-Engil Group's strategy. This strategy promotes actions aimed at training and integrating people, guaranteeing safe working conditions, and implementing mechanisms for collecting feedback, such as the whistleblowing channel and the Code of Ethics, contributing to local economic development. [§13 a i)].
In order to ensure a comprehensive and transparent approach to managing the impacts related to the workforce itself, all workers who may be materially affected by Mota-Engil's operations are included in the scope of these disclosures [S1.SBM-3_01, §14].
Operating in different geographies and activity sectors, Mota-Engil Group faces complex challenges in terms of occupational health and safety matters, requiring a structured and proactive approach to the management of negative impacts and occupational risks that occur/are associated with its operations[SBM-3_01; §48ª | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii]. Resulting from the Group's operations, and its E&C and Environment business units in particular, nineteen impacts on workers are recognised as material, as a result of exposure to physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial risks that may negatively affect their health and well-being, and lead to permanent injury, occupational illness or death in more serious cases [I-] [SBM-3_01; §48ª | SBM-3_04; §48c) i. | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | S1.SBM-3_03;§14 b].
The occurrence of these impacts and the organisation's dependence on its workforce is associated with various financial and strategic material risks for the Group. The occurrence of serious injuries or death in the workplace represents a significant impact not just on workers' safety but on the organisation by raising absenteeism, productivity losses, legal consequences and penalties as well as client dissatisfaction and difficulties in signing new contracts, with potential consequences on Mota-Engil's capacity to meet its strategic goals and its image and reputation, possibly leading to financial losses [R]. Psychosocial and mental health risks, often associated with factors such as pressure and work content, working hours and career progression, may also lead to the phenomena of presenteeism and a rise in the likelihood of occupational accidents [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | S1.SBM-3_05; §14 d].
In addition, and considering the Group's positioning in certain geographies considered to be developing [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii], it leads to workers' exposure to contagious (e.g. flu) and tropical diseases (e.g. malaria, yellow fever, typhus) which can also impact operations, namely by raising absenteeism, complicating workers' access to health systems, causing interruptions to operations and financial losses and affecting strategic initiatives [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | S1.SBM-3_05; §14 d | S1.SBM-3_12; §16] Protecting its workers in international mobility, and especially in politically unstable regions and zones affected by conflict, represents a positive impact of the Group's actions in safeguarding the physical safety of its employees and promoting access to health services [I+] [SBM-3_01; §48ª, S1.SBM-3_04; §14 c].
It should also be noted as a positive material impact that the Group promotes preventive and curative health care for its workers through training, yoga lessons and meditation, awareness campaigns, access to health insurance (in geographies where it applies), local health networks and company medical posts, depending on the geography and project in question [I+] [SBM-3_01; §48a].
To assure its implementation, Mota-Engil has defined a corporate SHEQ department- Safety, Health, Environment and Quality, responsible for integrating, aligning methods, monitoring and promoting the continuous improvement of the respective areas across the Group's various business units, thus creating an employee-centric preventive culture. This corporate department is responsible for developing an integrated management system – workplace health and safety (ISO 45001), environment (ISO 14001) and quality (ISO 9001) – implemented across the Group's various companies and whose ongoing global certification is considered strategic (see Chapter 1.4.4.3 and "Actions and resources" section). Occupational safety-related risk management is directly coordinated by the respective SHEQ departments of the Group's different local projects/contracts, which are supported and supervised both at the company/market level and by the SHEQ Corporate Department on a consolidated basis.
The annual review of the system, particularly in the social areas (Health and Safety), contributes to the development of organisational strategy. The study of the impacts undertaken in this process help in the ongoing improvement of working conditions. These result in strategic and operational modifications, ensuring that the organisation continues to be in line with the best practice and meet the needs of employees [§13 a ii)].
As far as talent management is concerned, the following material topics stand out: local job creation and skills development; diversity, equity and inclusion; working conditions and social protection; labour practices and career progression; working hours and work-life balance; and violence and harassment in the workplace.
The majority of Mota-Engil's workers are hired directly, with very occasional recourse to temporary workers. This is only done to fill workload peaks. Regardless of the contractual relationship that exists, Mota-Engil maintains a standard of good practice to ensure that all workers, whether directly hired or temporary, are protected in terms of health and safety, as well as human rights. This includes adequate working conditions and equal treatment and opportunities, contributing to the mitigation of material impacts associated with the Group's operations [S1.SBM-3_02, §14 a].
However, taking account of matters such as the operating environment and the function performed or individual characteristics within the workforce, different groups of workers may be subject to specific risks that may impact them negatively. In this context, Mota-Engil adopts strategic measures to mitigate negative impacts, promoting equal opportunities and enhancing safety in the workplace.
The following are recognised as negative material impacts [SBM-3_01; §48 a]: excessive working hours may result in fatigue on the part of the employee resulting in an increased number of injuries and illness; the occurrence of incidents of discrimination may have an impact on the motivation and morale of workers resulting in a negative working environment and unequal access to opportunities and benefits ; the occurrence of situations of verbal and physical (sexual) harassment with potential impacts on levels of insatisfaction and trauma on the part of the worker [I-]. The absence of females working in the industry leads to a culture that is male-dominated which may result in a hostile environment for females and leave them particularly prone to sexual harassment which tends to be more prevalent in male-dominated industries. As a result, these impacts may take place systematically in the contexts where the Group operates which is why it has introduced a Harassment and Discrimination Policy and actively works to combat this type of situation (see sections "Policies" and Actions and resources`) associated with specific incidents [SBM-3_01; §48 a| S1.SBM-3_03, §14 b].
The transition plan for climate change is being developed and a first version is expected to be completed during 2025, so there are currently no material impacts on the workforce itself that could result from its implementation [S1.SBM-3_06, §14 e].
Mota-Engil strictly complies with international labour standards and its own principles of ethics and compliance, ensuring that there is no risk of child or forced labour among its employees. As a rule, the Group only hires people over the age of 18. It should be noted that in Brazil there is a practice of hiring apprentices over the age of 15, as this is a practice and custom rooted in the country and in accordance with local law. It should be noted that this is limited to a residual number of around 50 employees out of the Group's total own workforce (over 50,000 employees) [S1.SBM-3_07, §14 f i to S1.SBM-3_10, §14 g ii].
The activities carried on by the Mota-Engil Group generate positive impacts that cover all workers, whether employed directly or on temporary contracts. Mota-Engil considered the following as material impacts [SBM-3_01; §48 a] | S1.SBM-3_04; §14 c] [I+]:
The various benefits associated with working conditions and social protection include, for example, the emergency fund for medical treatment and/or medical equipment for employees and/or their families. In addition, there are a number of other benefits applicable to Portugal and its permanent employees: scholarships for employees' children; the social support fund that supports employees and/or their families in an emergency situation; the Health + Fund, through a ceiling for the purchase of medicines (for the component not subsidised by the state) for employees and their families who find themselves in a more vulnerable situation; a financial consultancy to advise employees on financial management and planning and debt resolution (in partnership with DECO). This support is provided by the FMAM through specific programmes aimed at the Mota-Engil Community.
Actions within the scope of some of these impacts are in line with the strategic goals established in addition to actively contributing to ODS 5, 8 and 10 (Chapter 1.2.2.1). The practices adopted also improve working conditions and social protection, fostering diversity, equality and inclusion, the development of skills, an adequate work-life balance and promoting fair working practices and career development. They also guarantee good physical and occupational safety practices, especially in conflict zones, with emergency plans to protect employees [S1.SBM-3_04, §14 c].
On the other hand, the organisation is significantly dependent on its workforce. This dependence exposes the Group to various material risks associated with the inability to meet the expectations of workers in terms of salaries and career development together with the difficulty of establishing an adequate work-life balance and the occurrence of incidents of discrimination that may lead to situations of demotivation, the loss of productivity, an increase in absenteeism and an increase in labour turnover [R]. There are also regulatory risks associated with the quotas established for the employment of people with disabilities [R], together with the risks associated directly with violence and harassment at work, exacerbated by the undertaking of projects in isolated environments with the main offices physically and organisationally located far away from front-line employees or first-line supervisors as well as valued employees, whether real or perceived, may consider themselves to be exempted from compliance with workplace regulations or immune to consequences of their misconduct and that may lead to a loss in productivity, legal action and reputational damage for the organisation [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | S1.SBM-3_05; 14 d].
In addition, Mota-Engil considers risks in relation to the local context such as physical safety, political instability and natural disasters that are managed by risk analyses. The safety and equal treatment risks are processed collectively by means of risk analyses and individually through the Whistleblowing Channel [S1.SBM-3_11, §15].
Certain risks are associated with specific groupsin the workforce. As previously stated, females may be exposed to risks due to the local context, including cases of violence and harassment together with cultural and religious discrimination together with trainees in a lower age range and the expectations of career development on the part of new generations in Group businesses. The Group acknowledges the significant influence of the local context and works to mitigate the risks by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion [S1.SBM-3_12, §16].
With regard to opportunities, the following stand out as material [O]: the commitment to training the Group's staff, which allows for the development of skills, greater productivity and the attraction/retention of talent; the attraction and retention of young people with high potential, a spirit of leadership and ambition with an impact on meeting labour needs; positive practices in the fight against discrimination and inequalities between women and men, particularly in leadership positions, helping to improve competitiveness; and local talent in management positions, which makes it possible to reduce costs associated with expatriating employees and meet the need to attract and retain talent, promote equality, with an impact on the Group's reputation [SBM-3_02; §48 a | S1.SBM-3_05, §14 d].
The Group invests in a series of actions to address the risks identified and to promote opportunities (see the section "Actions and resources"), in order to build a robust and sustainable workforce that is essential to the success of Mota-Engil in the long-term.
A good working relationship is largely the result of open dialogue and reasoned exchanges of opinions. In this way, the right to information and consultation available to the employee guarantees legitimate knowledge of the company's economic activity, as well as the evolution of employment and preventive measures. In particular, the perspectives of the workforce itself contribute to Mota-Engil's decisions and activities aimed at managing the actual and potential material impacts on its own workforce [S1-2_01; §27]. The operational responsibility for ensuring that this involvement takes place and that the results guide the Group's approach is assigned to different levels, from members of the Board of Directors to the Contract Directorates [S1-2_04; §27 c].
Mota-Engil Group provides various channels that permit employee consultations and participation [S1-2_01; §27]. In addition to these channels, there is also a corporate digital portal where there are training initiatives and clarification sessions that serve as a means for the provision of relevant information, with regard to Occupational Health and Safety for instance [S1-2_01; §27]. In addition, the whistleblowing channel is an important means of obtaining feedback from own labour, by reporting cases of harassment, discrimination and other situations that may occur [S1-2_01; §27] – see section "Procedures to correct the negative impacts and channels for the labour force to express their concerns."
In general terms, the involvement takes place directly with the workforce and, in the case of the OHS, also by means of workers representatives [S1-2_02; §27 a] and takes place at both the organisational level as well as at a more specific level such as in the case of projects [AR24 c]. The information is centralised in specific departments and available to all employees [AR24 c]. For this involvement to take place, human resources, physical and digital materials are allocated [AR24 d].
With regard to the carrying out of consultation enquiries and the direct participation of employees, MotivE – a satisfaction survey undertaken every two years, aimed at all Group employees, covering all business areas, geographies and companies is notable for permitting an in-depth vision of the level of satisfaction and elements valued by employeesin addition to being a comparative analysis of the Group [S1-2_01; §27 b]. By means of this survey, Mota-Engil ensures that the perspectives of the workforce, considering diversity in terms of gender, education, age, functional group and longevity are duly represented as a group [S1-2_01; §28].
Following the survey, the results are reported to all employees and a global plan of action is prepared with initiatives at the corporate level along with local plans of action in each of the Group businesses/markets, the relevant actions aiming to improve the respective local situations [AR24 b]. The study of the levels of satisfaction and engagement of employees in subsequent surveys carried out after the implementation of the previous plan of action2 - permits the evaluation of the impact of the plans of action prepared and applied in the various Group companies and their contribution to the satisfaction of personnel employees [S1-2_01; §27 e].
In terms of occupational health and safety, involvement takes place in various stages, ensuring an ongoing and integrated approach in the management of occupational health and safety [S1-2_03; §27 b]:
The frequency of this involvement includes annual workers surveys, Toolbox Meetings held daily and SHEQ Committee meetings that vary from weekly to annual depending on the level of the organisation [S1-2_03; §27 b].
The SHEQ Committee is implemented at the different levels of the Group, namely at corporate, Company/market and Project/contract levels. These committees are lead by the top management at each level and their work is recorded in the minutes with the goal of increasing the efficiency of the SHEQ process, carrying out the survey with the participation and involvement of all workers and promote the continuous improvement of safety, health and well-being [S1-2_01; §27]. Furthermore, these committees are used as a tool to promote workers participation in improvements to the environmental management of Group activities, with a focus on reducing the carbon footprint, eliminating activities generating high levels of carbon dioxide emissions and ensuring that the workforce take part in decisions on emissions and training [AR24 e)].
In parallel, the Toolbox Meetings held at the start of work or shifts, provide an opportunity for presenting specific information about risks and the respective mitigation measures. Promoting regular interaction between workers and management, are recorded in the minutes, reinforcing the culture of health and safety and well-being at work [S1-2_01; §27| S1-2_03; §27 b]. Safety Moments are held in all meetings and duly recorded in the minutes. These moments are incorporated into strategic meetings as well as the Holding and Sub-holding Executive Committee, in the SHEQ Committees, into management and operation meetings for the market/Project, in meetings with people outside the organisation and daily frontline meetings, in particular the Toolbox Meetings [S1-2_01; §27].
2 The first MotivE was launched in 2022, and its action plan was implemented in 2023. A new satisfaction questionnaire was carried out in 2024.
The discussions and decisions are documented and disclosed via institutional emails. Mota-Engil promotes transparent communications with employees, not only of the results of the surveys and new directives determined as a result of what was heard, but also of the targets set in the area of safety, health and well-being. Performance indicators are also monitored and discussed at strategic meetings to promote continuous improvement and alignment with organisational objectives [AR24 b]. Every year, the SHEQ system is reviewed to assess the effectiveness of the actions implemented the previous year [S1-2_06; §27e].
With this structured approach, the Group reinforces the active participation of employees and ensures the integration of their perspectives into the management of health and safety and well-being at work, consolidating an organisational culture focused on prevention and ongoing improvement [S1-2_01; §27].
In addition to the employee involvement promoted by Mota-Engil, the Group's companies safeguard the exercise of association rights, particularly the freedom of association and collective bargaining, which is a constitutional and legal imperative. Since Mota-Engil operates in various countries/markets, it maintains an openness to dialogue with the many trade union representatives, fostering good institutional relations with these legitimate worker representatives. It is worth mentioning the existence of different types of collective agreements applicable to employees – collective labour contracts, collective labour agreements and employer/works council agreements - variable according to the Group's company and area of activity [S1-2_05; §27 d]. Furthermore, the Labour Code, which reflects respect for worker's human rights, includes their right to collective bargaining. Collective bargaining contracts are followed by Mota-Engil wherever applicable [S1-2_05; §27 d].
The Group adopts various approaches to the process for remedying negative impacts on the workforce on the basis of the various means for involvement and existing communication channels referred to in the previous section and that allow the identification of negative material impacts that in turn are dealt with on their nature by local and corporate teams (SHEQ Compliance, internal audits etc) [S1-3_01; §32 a)].
Through the Incident Resolution Mechanism (IRM), which is part of the Whistleblowing Channel, the Group provides informal and formal means for employees to have their concerns and complaints resolved.
Mota-Engil takes a multi-department approach to mitigate/contribute to the mitigation of the negative impacts of its activity on its workforce [S1-3_01; §32 a)]:
In the specific case of negative impacts in the area of OHS, the Group assesses the effectiveness of the measures through internal SHEQ audits, incident analyses and the annual review of the management system, among others [S1-3_01; §32 a)].
The Whistleblowing Channel, as an online reporting line, is permanently available for the secure and confidential reporting of irregularities. The same channel should be used as a mechanism for handling complaints/ grievances relating to employees [S1-3_05; §32 c) | S1-3_06; §32 d)].
This channel is publicised through various means, including posters with a link and QR Code to access the whistleblowing platform, and can also be accessed directly through the Group's website. Employees can also use the ethics e-mail line. With regard to issues of harassment and discrimination, if they so wish, employees can use an informal mechanism by contacting a Focal Point who will try to mediate the problem [S1-3_02; §32 b) | S1-3_05; §32 c) | S1-3_06; §32 d)].
The Whistleblowing Channel uses an external platform that is controlled by the Group. The line can be accessed by employees or by any other person or organisation on behalf of the employees. [S1-3_02; §32 b) | S1-3_03; AR 29 | S1-3_04; AR 30]. As a result, any worker or third party may submit matters in relation to a material impact for an individual worker or group of workers. The user of the platform may use a specific email account while the team dealing with the matter will be unaware of the address since communication is only carried out through the platform. Users may access the platform at any time (to update their status) or following receipt of an email to report a specific update [S1-3_04; AR 30].
All issues raised through the whistleblowing channel or the ethics email are dealt with by a corporate team that follows European and Portuguese legislation with regard to informing the whistleblower and non-retaliation [S1-3_07; §32 e) | S1-3_09; §33]. The Integrity and Compliance Programme, which integrates the management of the Channel, includes a set of training and awareness-raising tools for employees and third parties. The management of the Channel is monitored by the Risk and Internal Audit Committee [S1-3_07; §32 e)].
Mota-Engil does not assess whether its workforce is aware of or trusts these mechanisms as a means for setting out their concerns or their needs and for their resolution. [S1-3_08; §33].
The following information is included as reference to other parts of the sustainability statement:
• More information on following up and monitoring the issues raised and addressed and ensuring the effectiveness of the channels: ESRS 1-3, §32 e –Chapter 1.4.4.1.I (Policies - Whistleblowing channel and whistleblower protection).
Occupational health and safety for the Group's own workforce is supported by two corporate policies: the Integrated SHEQ Policy and the Humans Rights Policy [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a]
The SHEQ Policy (see Chapter 1.4.4.3.) establishes the Group's Safety, Health and Well-Being Commitments aimed at reducing and preventing occupational illnesses (physical and mental) and promoting the well-being of all its workers in line with the impacts and material risks identified. Among the commitments adopted in this area are the following [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | S1-1_09; §23]:
In 2024, the Group published its Human Rights Policy (see Chapter 1.4.4.1.I (Policies)). Among its commitments to the working conditions of its own workforce is the concern to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all employees – permanent, temporary and apprenticed – and to provide effective complaints mechanisms for workers to present workplace-related concerns. Three areas are focused on, namely [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | S1-1_03, §20]:
• Safety – Commitment to ensure adequate safety conditions, especially in politically unstable regions affected by conflicts, respecting international human rights standards and adopting protocols adapted to protect its workers and stakeholders.
The Group complies with human and labour rights through the SHEQ Integrated Management System, which covers safety, health and well-being in accordance with certifiable international standards and legal, contractual and best practice requirements. It also participates in voluntary programmes and follows collective agreements related to occupational health and safety. This approach aims to reduce occupational illnesses and promote well-being and mental health, guaranteeing respect for human and labour rights in its operations [S1-1_04, §20 a)].
Stakeholder involvement in safety, health and well-being is also transparently promoted by the Group, following international standards. To ensure consistency in its business units, the concepts, tools and reporting practices are harmonised, respecting each region's legal and cultural specificities. This ensures commitment to workers' health and a dialogue with stakeholders. Worker representatives are involved in the SHEQ committees at the various levels of the organisation - project, contract, company, business unit and global. Workers are consulted annually [S1-1_05, §20 b)].
As measures designed to provide and/or allow remediation of the impacts on human rights, the promotion of studies of the social impact on projects and contracts are essential. These studies allow identification of the environmental and social aspects and assessment of their respective impacts, thus permitting definition of mitigation measures to prevent and correct possible damages. Furthermore, already implemented are measures such as access to adequate housing, recognised as a fundamental right, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers. These measures serve to remediate prior impacts and continue to ensure safe and respectful conditions in the working environment. For substantiated occurrences, notified via the whistleblowing channel, remediation measures are applied [S1-1_06, §20 c)].
Monitoring the SHEQ Policy, with regard to OHS, is supported by implementation and reinforcement of prevention and control measures whose performance is assessed via specific targets and metrics (see "Targets and metrics" section). Taking the causes of accidents and risk assessment processes as the basis, the aim, according to the controls hierarchy, is to adopt working practices and tools, including the development of new engineering and safety solutions. The main pillars of action are training and skills, adjustment of human resources, leadership, accountability and recognition, and process digitisation. Internal audits are a key tool for monitoring systems and preparing external audits [S1.MDR-P_01, §65 a].
The Human Rights Policy is monitored by conducting human rights-related risk assessments, whistleblowing and remediation mechanisms, development of action plans associated with the risks identified, internal audits and training [S1.MDR-P_01, §65 a].
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the sustainability statement:
Mota-Engil has promoted various initiatives focused on the safety, health and well-being of its employees, demonstrating a continual commitment to accident prevention, promotion of a safe working environment and an organisational culture focused on safety and valorisation of its workers. Recognising the importance of identifying and managing the impacts and risks associated with occupational health and safety, the Group possesses an Integrated SHEQ Management System certified by ISO 45001 and other benchmarks [S1-4_09; §43]that is being widened (Chapter 1.4.4.3. (Actions and resources)). As a result of this system, processes and controls have been implemented that translate into various actions on prevention and mitigation of negative material impacts on the Group's own workforce (and in some cases extendible to trade contractors (Chapter 1.4.3.2. (Actions and resources)), as well as mitigation of the material risks stemming from their impacts and dependence on these stakeholder groups. [S1-4_01; §38 a | S1-4_06; §40 a]. The Group's processes for managing material risks to its own workers are integrated into existing risk management through the Enterprise Risk Register (ERR) [AR 47].
With Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) having a very important behavioural dimension, Mota-Engil invests heavily in employee training and awareness-raising actions, in promoting leadership by example as well as in recognising performance and good practices. In 2024, we highlight the communication of the Golden Rules and the Global Safety Stand Down, among others, the awarding of safety prizes and the launch of the specific regulation for recognition and accountability in safety and health. The implementation of the Safety Global Training Plan ensures that all workers are prepared to identify risks and act appropriately. Toolbox meetings and Safety Moments, which provide regular opportunities to share information and discuss best practices, are also one of the ways to support the implementation of the SHEQ Policy. [S1.MDR-A_01, §68 a]
The Group also invests in employee health, e.g. through disease prevention and vaccination campaigns, and in mental health, as an emerging area of activity, through a Wellness Programme - a mental health strategy - defined in 2023, of which this year's launch of the WellME pilot project stands out, which includes a mental health support service for our employees.
Reflecting the concern to support the physical health and security of its employees in international mobility and frequent flyers, the result of emergency situations that may need evacuation due to illness, working accident or local conflict (political situations, acts of violence, among other threats to employees' physical security), Mota-Engil has a contract with an international company that provides advice in various areas and medical assistance and logistics. In 2024, several situations occurred due to local elections that caused instability in which the company helped Mota-Engil to advice and manage the situation with the help of the local teams [S1.MDR-A_01, §68 a].
The Group encourages reporting of near misses, unsafe actions and dangerous situations, seeing them as learning opportunities to avoid future incidents by communicating the lessons learned and including them in the Safety Moments at all levels of the organisation. In 2024, it invested in the digitisation of these processes, facilitating the recording and analysis of incidents. [S1.MDR-A_01, §68 a]
Regarding earlier periods and in general, the Group increased the number of actions taken, with several of them continuing/consolidating past actions, and new ones also being launched. [S1.MDR-A_01, §68 a | S1.MDR-A_05, §68 e].
Besides the financial resources allocated, Mota-Engil relies on a series of human resources (SHEQ teams) in each of its projects/companies that provide support to these actions. In addition, the issuing of sustainability-linked bonds (from 2021 to 2024) and the development of a Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework to which sustainability KPIs are associated, in particular to the improvement of LTIFR (see "Targets and metrics" section). This reflects the company's commitment to improve safety culture and accident prevention [S1.MDR-A_06, §69 a]. The capacity to implement actions does not depend on specific prior conditions, which may be funded by Mota-Engil [S1.MDR-A_06, §69 a].
Identifying and implementing measures to mitigate the negative impacts on employeesinvolves the cooperation of various Business Units, companies and focal points and is based on the benchmarks followed by the Group (such as the ISO standards mentioned before and sectoral best practices). Also of note is the incident management process which comprises all of the actions inherent to an incident occurring in the Group's operations, including accidents and near misses. For each activity, a risk analysis is conducted that sets out appropriate mitigations [S1-4_05, §39]. In parallel, worker inputs are considered (via consultation and participation) in implementing actions and programmes [S1-4_05, §39 | S1-4_16, AR 40 a].
Implementation of these actions, in particular the launch of the WellME pilot project, requires significant (current and future) operating expenditure (OpEx). Of note is current expenditure of €188,000, which is expected to evolve as the project's scope is broadened [S1.MDR-A_09, §69 b | S1.MDR-A_11, §69 c ]. The development of the actions presented also required significant operating expenditure (OpEx) [S1.MDR-A_10, §69 b | S1.MDR-A_12, §69 c]. These represent less than 0.1% of the Group's external supplies and services expenses Grupo [S1.MDR-A_07, §69 b].

In 2024, a platform was developed to identify unsafe acts and dangerous conditions in service areas (in the testing phase in all geographies). Under development is a platform to manage incidents from the registration of the event, investigation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the corrective actions implemented. The launch is scheduled for 2025. |
As part of its commitment to its employees' well-being, Mota-Engil Group launched the psychological advice service WellME Pilot Project in Angola, Mozambique, Portugal and Mexico. These markets were selected to achieve the highest representativity both at the level of the business units and the possible geographic context and to identify best practices in order to serve as an analysis for implementation across all the Group's business units and geographies.
On World Suicide Prevention Day (9th September 2024), an awareness campaign was held accompanied by the pre-launch of WellME. On World Mental Health Day (10th October 2024), the service was officially launched in the presence of the Chairman and CEO, Carlos Mota Santos, and Vice-CEO, Manuel Mota. The launch campaign was widely divulged among the Group's employees.
For the pilot projects, the psychological advice service commenced in November 2024, with the direct involvement of the directors of the companies selected to promote and implement it.
In January 2024, we launched the Global Safety Stand Down initiative for the first time. This consisted of a global stoppage of operations, including all the Business Units, Geographies and Mota-Engil workers and subcontractors, for one hour, with the Directorates carrying out an awareness campaign on the causes of accidents that have occurred, the reinforcement of the Golden Rules and the implementation of the new recognition and safety regulations, with the aim of preventing accidents. This event was repeated in October, reinforcing the importance of safety.
This initiative has been boosted by the Chairman and CEO of the Mota-Engil Group, Carlos Mota Santos, and the Vice-CEO, Manuel Mota, to reinforce our commitment to safety.
In December 2024, the 7th Global SHEQ Committee was held, led by Chairman and CEO Carlos Mota Santos and Vice-CEO Manuel Mota, with the aim of promoting a moment of joint reflection between the Group's top management and the SHEQ Directors of the companies in the Group's various Business Units, on material issues linked to the SHEQ areas, namely incidents, performance, new regulatory demands, stakeholder requirements and internal concerns.
This year's highlight was the participation of external speakers, namely representatives from IFC (World Bank) and PwC, reinforcing the importance of health and safety within the scope of the financial mechanisms and sustainability reporting. The respective roadmaps for each of the SHEQ areas were also redefined at this event for 2025 [S1.MDR-A_04; §68 d; S1- 4_02; §38 b].
Mota-Engil analyses incidents that led to injuries to company's workers or subcontractors using the Ishikawa Diagram and the 5 Whys to identify the root causes and failings and to promote corrective actions to prevent similar events. These actions may be project/contract specific or transversal to the respective BU or even all Group operations.
In addition to recording accidents, Mota-Engil is promoting the standardisation of practices for identifying unsafe acts and dangerous situations so that everyone can record situations that do not comply with internal rules, legal requirements or regulations, with the aim of preventing accidents. For each of these records, the causes are analysed and corrective actions are defined and implemented.
Complementing this, the Group also has a whistleblowing channel that allows anyone (internally or externally) to communicate irregularities, which are handled individually by the Group's Internal Audit team with SHEQ Corporate's involvement to resolve the themes raised.
In addition to implemented actions, lessons learned are also shared internally via internal communication and Safety Moments to raise awareness of the risks and actions necessary for the respective mitigation.
Setting targets for health and safety (see "Targets and metrics" section) also allows the Group to track its evolving performance and the effectiveness of measures taken, enabling adjustment of the strategies adopted. [S1-4_04, §38 d; S1- 4_08, §41].
Within the scope of the Mota-Engil Strategic Plan 2022-2026, the Group has defined an objective/goal associated with a 50 per cent reduction in the LTIFR - Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate, which makes it possible to monitor OHS performance and reinforce preventive actions, This reflects the Group's commitment to continuous improvement in this area and to promoting a culture of 'zero accidents' and employee well-being, as defined in the SHEQ Policy [S1.MDR-T_01, §80 a)]
The target is expressed in relative terms as a percentage reduction in LTIFR [S1.MDR-T_02, §80 b) | S1.MDR-T_03, §80 b)]]. It covers employees in all regions where the Group operates [S1.MDR-T_04, §80 c)]. In 2024, no changes/updates were made to the target [S1.MDR-T_12, §80 i)].
This target is associated with a metric (LTIFR) calculated by dividing the number of LTIs (Lost Time Injuries) by the total hours worked by the workforce multiplied by a standardised rate of 1,000,000 – i.e. it represents the number of cases per million hours worked. This calculation complies with ILO guidelines [S1.MDR-M_01; §75|MDR-M_02; §77 a | S1-14_05, §88 c)].
It should be noted that the LTIFR was also selected as the KPI - Key Performance Indicator for assessing performance in the Sustainability-linked bonds issued in 2021 (2021-2026), 2022 (2022-2027), 2023 (2023-2028) and in a private and direct offer. This KPI covers Engineering and Construction projects - this being the Group's largest Business Unit. Also noteworthy is the extension of the scope of this KPI to all business units in 2024 in the publication of the Group's Sustainability-linked Financing Framework.
The LTIFR metric is evaluated every six months/year as part of global certification (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001). In addition to this certification, data is also validated by an external organisation for the purposes of sustainability reporting [S1.MDR-M_03 §77 b)].
Mota-Engil sets its goals primarily by analysing the local context, benchmarking, and best practices, comparing its performance with industry standards and the practices of companies in the sector to identify opportunities for improvement and set challenging targets. [S1.MDR-T_09, §80 f)]. When setting the target for LTIFR, Mota-Engil conducted external benchmarking against its peers. A position of leadership was assumed and targets set that were as ambitious as the peers [S1.MDR-T_09, §80 f)]. This target was initially set at the level of the E&C business unit and subsequently also at Group level, with these targets being monitored on an individual basis [S1.MDR-T_09, §80 f)]. There are no intermediate public targets, but at the internal level, these are set to track E&C performance against the global target established [S1.MDR-T_08, §80 e)].
For the first publication of the Building 26 Strategic Plan, within which the target was set, internal stakeholders were involved, namely the board members and the heads of the respective Business Units. Indirectly involved in this process were the Group's own workforce and their representatives [S1-5_01, §47 a) | S1.MDR-T_11, §80 h)]. Midway through the strategic plan, a double materiality analysis was conducted for the first time. This led to the plan being updated and the targets aligned with the material topics determined in this analysis. [S1.MDR-T_11, §80 h)].

Note 1: The method used to calculate the metric has remained unchanged from the previous year [BP-2_10 to BP-2_12; §13], and no errors relating to previous periods have been identified [BP-2_13 to BP-2_15; §14]. This metric is subject to external verification within the scope of this report and is not verified by other entities [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
Note 2: It should be noted that the base year for the Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework was 2023. It should also be noted that in this document the description of the target is no longer based on the percentage reduction, but on the value to be achieved in the target year.
Note 3: The percentages of variation refer to the comparison of the year's value with the base year.
Note 4: This indicator includes accidents that occur in the workplace and excludes commuting accidents.
Performance in relation to the LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) reduction target is monitored and analysed using the sustainability reporting platform, which makes it possible to manage and analyse health and safety indicators at a consolidated Group level, by business unit or by company. The platform allows the calculation of the LTIFR indicator, as defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and the qualitative analysis of accidents at work with casualties. Performance is monitored and reviewed every six months on the basis of the data provided, allowing for detailed analysis and the implementation of corrective actions whenever necessary. This process of continuous monitoring and review ensures that the LTIFR reduction targets are met, promoting a safer working environment for all employees [S1-5_02, §47 b)].
Based on this performance analysis, discussions are held to enable continual improvement. These occur formally in the existing SHEQ committees at the various levels of the organisation, namely at Group, BU, company and project/contract levels. These committees include management and workers' representatives and their conclusions are documented and used to adjust strategies, ensuring continual improvement of processes and an effective response to any challenges identified.
Some of the actions or lessons learned are translated and communicated via institutional emails and Safety Moments at the various levels of the organisation. [S1-5_02, §47 b)] | S1-5_03, §47 c)].
In 2024, there was a positive evolution in the value of the Group's consolidated LTIFR, with special emphasis on the E&C Business Unit. This reduction is a reflection of various prevention-focused initiatives implemented in 2024 (see 'Actions and resources' section) and the reinforcement of Mota-Engil's safety culture [S1.MDR-T_13; §80 j].
In addition, Mota-Engil Group has a strategic target for global certification that also plays an important role in promoting a safety culture. More detailed information on this target is presented in the section on quality and safety of products/services and critical incident management (Chapter 1.4.4.3(Goals and metrics)).
The integrated SHEQ systems – both corporate and local (company) – cover the Group's own employees and those whose work and/or position is controlled by the organisation (e.g. trade contractors) (Chapter 1.4.3.2.). These are governed by ISO 45001. Implementation of Group Global Certification is underway that will boost uniformity in the systems in this area too (Chapter 1.4.4.3.(Goals and metrics)). In 2024, 93.23% of all workers (approx. 46,500 salaried employees) are covered by this system.
Unfortunately, there were seven fatal accidents in 2024 in the E&C and Environment areas. All accidents, regardless of their seriousness, are recorded and analysed for their causes. All serious occurrences are subject to thorough research and analysis by committees of inquiry involving not only the project teams and companies in question but also, whenever necessary, the corporate SHEQ area and the internal or external areas of specialisation. It should be noted that the committees of inquiry answer to Mota-Engil's board. In this context, the commitment to implement specific actions in the companies, contracts and business units is boosted, complemented by actions across the whole Group, aimed at avoiding their recurrence.
Although the occurrence of fatal accidents has decreased compared to the previous year, Mota-Engil has implemented a safety regulation that aims to promote better performance and accountability for those who do not fulfil the Group's safety objectives (see 'Actions and resources' section). This regulation reinforces the Group's transversal commitment and involvement (from management to operations) with safety.

Note 1: Complying with ESRS 1, Appendix C, Mota-Engil chose to omit the communication of information on non-salaried workers in the first year of its sustainability statement. Thus, the data presented relates only to the Group's own salaried workers.
Note 2: The no. of hours worked corresponds to the real recorded figure of 136,846,263. It is therefore not an estimated figure [AR 90].
Note 3: With regard to the indicator "Total of own workers covered by undertaking's health and safety management system based on legal requirements and/or recognised standards or guidelines", the number of employees covered by a certified management system is reported. However, though the remaining employees are not covered, they comply with safety and reporting rules stipulated by the Group.
Note 4: The number of deaths reported is only related to accidents at work, and monitoring by illness is being improved. In this sense, the number of cases of recordable work-related illnesses is not yet reported in this report [S1-14_06, §88 d].
Note 5: The number of deaths of other workers working on the Group's premises is excluded from reporting, noting that improvements are being made to the information collection procedure [S1-14_03, §88 b].
Note 6: The number of accidents includes accidents that occur in the workplace, excluding commuting accidents.
The methodology to calculate the occupational health and safety metrics, such as accidents and days lost, follows best international practices. The process starts with the immediate notification of an accident by the employee or witness, allowing the operation to be paused and the necessary care taken, such as first aid and a medical examination, if necessary. After that, the safety team conducts a detailed investigation with special focus on serious accidents to identify the causes and corrective measures. Among other factors, this assessment analyses whether there was negligence so that the safety regulation can be applied (penalties/valorisation). The metrics are then recorded on the sustainability reporting platform that allows monitoring and creation of reports. Some limitations may affect the quality of the metrics, such as the under-reporting of incidents, data entry errors and the frequency of data gathering, that can delay updating the metrics [MDR-M_02; §77 a].
Recognising that psychosocial risk factors and mental health influence accidents, the Mota-Engil Group has been reinforcing its actions in this area since 2023, developing a management strategy for mental health: Wellness Programme (see "Actions and resources" section).
Aware of the pressing need for health prevention, namely mental health, the Group set out two specific metrics in this area: (1) percentage of companies with psychosocial risk assessment; (2) percentage of companies with psychological support [MDR-M_01, §75]. These metrics help to monitor negative material impacts and risks, identified in the double materiality analysis.
| Metrics related to mental health | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Percentage of companies with psychosocial risk assessment | 16% |
| Percentage of companies with psychological support | 47% |
It should be highlighted that, with respect to psychosocial risk assessment, the calculation was based on Group companies with operations and turnover that conducted psychosocial risk assessment. Psychological support is provided in Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and Mexico, which represent 47% of Group companies with operations and turnover. [MDR-M_02, §77 a]
IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT Policies
[S1-1, MDR-P]
Within the scope of Mota Engil´s people management strategy, the Group adopts a series of policies that promote a working environment that is inclusive, fair, ethical and responsible, of which the following stand out: the Human Resources Policy; the Discrimination and Harassment Policy; and the Human Rights Policy [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a]. These policies are in line with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the guidelines from the Equality at Work and Employment Commission (CITE) [S1-1_07, §21].
The Human Resources Policy (HR) represents one of the central pillars supporting growth, diversification and international expansion of the Mota-Engil Group [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a]. In line with the Building 26 Strategic Plan (Chapter 1.2.2), this rests on four central pillars:
The policy is a tool aimed at establishing and standardising guidelines and standards for human resources management, while respecting the local specificities of the markets in which the Group operates. The HR Policy has the following objectives:
The application of this policy is monitored by means of MotivE surveys, the METalent platform and the DE&I report. [S1.MDR-P_01; §65a)].
| Document | Human Resources Policy |

As part of the organisational culture, the Mota-Engil Group is committed to promoting a workplace free of harassment, discrimination and intimidation, where all Employees can work together with openness, trust and respect for differences, as established in the Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | S1-1_10; §24 a)]. This policy has the following goals:
The commitments made in the policy apply to all interactions, whether with supervisors, colleagues or subordinates, and cover any work situation. Discrimination in relation to job opportunities, benefits or performance evaluation is also considered a violation of this policy, especially when based on factors such as gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, among others. In addition, the Mota-Engil Group prohibits all forms of harassment - any unwanted conduct that has the purpose or effect of violating a person's dignity by creating an intimidating or humiliating environment - including sexual harassment [S1-1_10; §24 a)].
The Group's actions have focused on communicating and implementing the policy and, in the event of a complaint or violation of the policy, it takes immediate action, which may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment. The role of Discrimination and Harassment Counsellor (DHC) - performed by Human Resources managers has been defined in the Group's various companies and they are responsible, among other things, for providing the means to help any employee who is the victim of discrimination and/or harassment to communicate with the offending person in an open, honest and safe manner. It should be noted that when the location of a project is physically and/or organisationally distant from the Group company's head offices, the SHEQ officer for that project will act as the DHC delegate for employees working at that location [S1-1_13; §24 d)].
A Harassment and Discrimination Committee has been set up to deal with all complaints received through the Whistleblowing Channel, and an Incident Resolution Mechanism (IRM) provided for in the Policy, which provides informal and formal means for employees to have their concerns and complaints resolved. To this end, there is a platform to support the reporting and management of cases dealt with by the DHC through the IRM [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a) | S1-1_13; §24 d)].

As mentioned above, in 2024 the Group formalised its Human Rights Policy. This policy sets out the Group's commitments in the context of the working conditions of its own workforce and in the context of equal treatment and opportunities. In the context of working conditions, the Group undertakes to provide effective grievance mechanisms that allow workers to raise concerns related to the workplace and makes specific commitments, of which the following stand out [S1.MDR-P_01; §65 a | S1-1_03, §20 | S1-1_08; §22 | S1-1_10; §24 a) | S1-1_12; §24 c)]:
Within the scope of equality of treatment and opportunities, the Mota-Engil Group is committed to ensuring a culture of inclusion that promotes diversity and works to promote fair treatment, non-discrimination and equality of opportunities for its workers. [S1-1_10; §24 a) | S1-1_11; §24 b) | S1-1_12; §24 c)]. The following are specific commitments:
By means of its Human Rights policy, Mota-Engil supports in full the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights together with the OECD Guidelines for multinational companies on Responsible Business Conduct and the supporting guidelines [S1-1_03; §20].
The Mota-Engil Group is committed to promoting the right to equality between women and men, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, namely in Article 9(h). This right is a legal obligation and is more than just a way of being in society. Council of Ministers Resolution 19/2012 of 8 March reinforced this commitment by making it compulsory to adopt an Equality Plan for all entities in the state business sector, with a view to achieving equal treatment and opportunities for women and men, eliminating discrimination and promoting a balance between professional, family and personal life. In a second phase, with the approval of Law 62/2017 of 1 August, the obligation was extended to companies listed on the stock exchange, establishing a system of equal representation between women and men on the management and supervisory bodies of these entities. [S1-1_10; §24 a)].
Committed to implementing, monitoring and updating this right, Mota-Engil Group produced the Gender Equality Plan [S1- 1_13; §24 d)], applicable to employees as well as members of its Governing Bodies as provided for in art. 7 of law nº 62/2017.
The aim of this Plan is to implement actions that promote positive practices in the fight against discrimination and inequalities between women and men, stimulating a new organisational culture, capable of perceiving and valuing (personally and professionally) the contribution of both genders, reinforcing the principle of equality in its practices, serving as a motto for improving competitiveness. The progress of this Plan is monitored through the CITE Index (Gender Equality Index), the strategic target set for women in management positions, the MotivE employee satisfaction survey, and the new biannual DE&I report [S1.MDR-P_01; §65a)].
| Document | Gender equality Plan |

• G1- Business conduct (corporate culture and compliance) |
In 2024 the Group set out and implemented a series of actions for the management of the material impacts, risks and opportunities associated with the Group´s own workforce, in particular in the field of the elements incorporated into the talent management [S1-4_01; §38 a | S1-4_03; §38 c | S1-4_06; §40 a | S1-4_07; §40 b]. As previously stated, the Group processes for the management of material risks related with its own workforce are incorporated into the management of existing risks by means of the Enterprise Risk Register (ERR) [AR 47].
With the aim of transferring the priorities set out in the Strategic Plan to the management of people, Mota-Engil established the People Plan. Annually defined, its purpose is to set the annual Goals and targets to be achieved, as well as to define the main HR initiatives that cut across the different companies/markets [S1.MDR-A_04; §68 d (ESRS 2) |S1-4_02; §38 b | S1- 4_05; §39].
The MotivE satisfaction survey (see Section Processes for dialogue with workforce and their representatives on impacts) is carried out every two years and, being aimed at all Group's employees and covering the entirety of the business areas, geographies and companies, it permits an in-depth view of the level of satisfaction and factors valued by employees along with a comparative study for the Group [S1.MDR-A_04; §68 d (ESRS 2) |S1-4_02; §38 b | S1-4_05; §39]. After carrying out the survey a global action plan is drawn up with corporate initiatives along with plans for local action at each Group company/market which seeks to improve the respective local reality. [S1.MDR-A_04; §68 d (ESRS 2) |S1-4_02; §38 b | S1- 4_05; §39].
With diversity and equality constituting central matters in the Mota-Engil propose and strategy, in 2024 a series of actions were applied which seek to rate their critical level, promoting the incorporation of local recruits into key positions while at the same time, ensuring an increase in the number of females in management positions [S1-4_01; §38 a | S1-4_03; §38 c | S1-4_06; §40 a | S1-4_07; §40 b].
These actions constitute positive practices in terms of combating discrimination and inequalities between women and men, stimulating a new organisational culture, capable of perceiving and valuing - personally and professionally - the contribution of both genders, reinforcing the principle of equality in its practices and serving as a motto for improving competitiveness [S1-4_01; §38 a | S1-4_03; §38 c | S1-4_06; §40 a | S1-4_07; §40 b].
Mota-Engil also reaffirms its commitment to training and ongoing development of the skills of its employees, supporting structured programmes that promote the acquisition of expertise and professional growth. By means of initiatives such as Learn@ME, StartME and the Digital MBA, the Group trains talent and promotes the sharing of expertise in a multicultural environment. In parallel with this, the application of mechanisms that facilitate the work-life balance reinforce the attraction of the Group for quality recruits, contributing to the recruitment and retention of qualified professionals in line with the challenges and goals of Mota-Engil [S1-4_03; §38 c | S1-4_07; §40 b].
The Group, due to the difficulty in accurately processing this information on financial and human resources for the management of their material impacts, associated to actions such as the Gender Equality Plan, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan and the Global Human Resources Policy although this information has not yet been reported [S1.MDR-A_06, §69 a | S1-4_09; §43]. Furthermore, processes are implemented to monitor wage differentials, prevent discrimination and harassment and promote programmes of awareness and training on gender equality, including WoMEn Leaders [S1.MDR-A_06, §69 a | S1-4_09; §43].
For previous periods and in general, the Group increased the number of actions applied, various of these initiatives being a continuation/consolidation of past actions, and having also launched new actions [S1.MDR-A_01, §68 a | S1.MDR-A_05, §68 e].

The organisation monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of its actions and initiatives by means of the ongoing oversight of the Gender Equality and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plans. The awareness and training programmes are evaluated based on their levels of participation and impact on the organisational culture. Specific processes were also established to monitor wage differences, to reinforce the Global Human Resources Policy and apply discrimination and harassment prevention measures [S1-4_04, §38 d; S1-4_08, §41 | S1.MDR-A_04; §68 d (ESRS 2) |S1-4_02; §38 b].
After analysing the satisfaction and engagement of employees, MotivE also allows the assessment of the impact of the action plans drawn up and applied in the various Group companies [S1-4_04, §38 d; S1-4_08, §41].
In addition, there is also the Group's whistleblowing channel, which allows irregular cases to be reported and dealt with individually by the Group's Internal Audit team, with the involvement of the Corporate SHEQ and Corporate HR areas in resolving the issues raised. [S1-4_04, §38 d; S1-4_08, §41].
The establishment of targets (see section Targets and Metrics) also allows the Group to monitor the progress of the performance and effectiveness of the actions taken allowing adjustments to be made to the strategies adopted [S1-4_04, §38 d; S1-4_08, §41].
Talent management is one of the key aspects of how the Group supports the development of its employees. Involved in an increasingly global society and, consequently, more proactive in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), Mota-Engil is at the forefront of promoting a fairer, more diverse and inclusive social context in the various markets where it operates.
Aware of its decisive role in contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Group has incorporated the following strategic targets into its Strategic Plan 2026 [S1.MDR-T_02, §80 b) | S1-5_06; AR 49 c]:
It should be noted that gender imbalances persist in various professions and sectors of activity, with women continuing to be under-represented in industries such as engineering, mining and construction. In male-dominated industrial sectors such as construction, statistics indicate that women represent a low percentage of the labour force. The definition of a strategic goal in this area thus puts "Gender Equality" at the centre of its action, in order to promote positive practices to combat discrimination and inequality between men and women and foster a new organisational culture that understands and values the contribution of both genders. [ S1-5_06; AR 49 c].
Additionally, and as mentioned in the "Strategy" section, employees play a crucial role not only in the success and sustainability of Mota-Engil's business, but also in creating social and economic impacts in their local communities, considering that the Group has a significant part of its employees in emerging and developing markets, and recognises not only the trend of increasing regulatory and labour restrictions in these economies but also several associated opportunities - local talent in management positions allows reducing costs associated with expatriating employees and meeting the needs of attracting and retaining talent, promoting equality, with an impact on the Group's reputation as well. Given these trends and the future potential of the social capital being developed through the long-term commitment to training in local communities, the Group is therefore committed to increasing the participation of local talent in leadership positions [S1-5_06; AR 49 c]. [S1-5_06; AR 49 c].
These targets apply to the entire Group [S1.MDR-T_04, §80 c)] and aim to ensure an increase in the numbers of women occupying management positions and to promote the incorporation of local employees in key positions in line with the commitments assumed in the Group´s Human resources Policy [S1.MDR-T_01, §80 a)].
Both are expressed in relative terms [S1.MDR-T_03, §80 b)] and relate to:
In addition to the value to be achieved in 2026, intermediate targets were established for 2024 [S1.MDR-T_08, §80 e)].
In establishing these targets, a benchmarking study was undertaken with Mota-Engil competitors. A leadership position was sought in establishing targets at least as ambitious as competitors [S1.MDR-T_09, §80 f)]. After their definition, there were no changes to the calculation and monitoring of the targets set. It should be noted that the description of the women's target has been made clearer, without any associated methodological changes [S1.MDR-T_12; §80 i)].
For the first publication of the Building 26 Strategic Plan, in which the target associated with women in management positions was defined, internal stakeholders were involved, namely the members of the board of directors and the heads of the respective Business Units. In 2023, as a result of the double materiality analysis carried out for the Group, the strategic plan was updated and the targets were aligned with the material topics determined in this analysis. Consequently, new targets were set to meet stakeholder expectations, taking into account the respective inputs[S1.MDR-T_11, §80 h)]. A series of commitments were reinforced, including working to promote an attractive ecosystem for its people based on diversity, equality and respect for difference, the goal associated with local talent to management positions having been established.
These metrics are calculated by accounting for the nominal employee base with monthly monitoring [MDR-M_02; §77a)]. The performance in relation to these targets is monitored and analysed by means of the sustainability report platform which enables the management and analysis of the associated metrics [S1.MDR-T_13, §80 j)].

Note 1: The method of calculation for this target/metric is unchanged from the preceding year [S1.MDR-T_12, §80 i)], with no errors found relating to previous periods [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14]. These metrics are subject to external verification with regard to this report and are not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)]. Note 2: Within the scope of the Sustainability Linked Framework, the baseline considered was for 2023.
Note 3: Management positions are seen as positions in categories 1 to 9 of the Mota-Engil Grid in all geographies and business units for the organisation. This corresponds to the Executive and Technical Board, including the CEO (1-6) and Specialisms and Management (7-9).
Progress towards meeting the targets has varied between business units considering their geographic location. The indicator for local talent in management positions was affected by the Mota-Engil Central Europe transaction, which was considered in the initial perimeter of the fixed target and whose sale had a significant impact on the result obtained at the end of the year. If the perimeter had remained constant, the evolution would have been positive and in line with the target set for the year [S1.MDR-T_13; 80 j].
Mota-Engil is present in a variety of countries/markets and has a total workforce of more than 50,000 employees. The management responsible for their employment practices is fundamental to ensuring a fair and inclusive working environment that promotes the retention of talent.
Below are set out the main characteristics of the employees of the Group. This information is essential to understanding the impact of the Group´s employment practices and to support the taking of informed decisions in matters of human resource management.
Data is obtained on a monthly basis in Excel format using the SAP software and is validated to ensure that there are no inaccuracies in the counting of workers [S1-6_13, §50 d) | MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. The number of workers is reported in number of effective people at the end of the report period on the last day of the year [S1-6_14, §50 d i) | S1-6_15, §50 d ii)].
These metrics are subject to external verification with regard to this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].

In future it is intended to improve and develop a cross reference for the information previously reported with the most representative number from the financial statements [S1-6_17, §50 f)].
3 As indicated in ESRS S1, only countries in which the company has 50 or more workers, representing at least 10 % of its total number of workers, are considered.

Note: The method of calculation for the metric is unchanged from the preceding year [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13], with no errors relating to previous periods identified [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14]. At present, Mota-Engil Group collects gender information for male and female only.
In a global and highly competitive market, attracting and retaining of qualified and motivated people is crucial to the success of the mission and goals of the Group, particularly in a context of major growth and expansion as with Mota-Engil Group.
Meanwhile and for a better understanding of the turnover rate shown, it is important to take the context into account. In certain geographies and projects, the labour relationship is not directly with the company but is linked rather to the specific project or the construction site. This means that, when the Project is completed, the labour relationship comes to an end naturally. This is common practice in these regions and sectors which has a significant impact on the turnover metrics [S1- 6_16, §50 e)].
The metric is reported in Full-Time equivalents (FTE), considering all employees working on a full-time basis [S1-6_14, §50 d i)]. This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
| Rate of turnover | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Number of workers who have left undertaking [S1-6_11, §50 c)] | 24,560 |
| Rate of employees turnover in the report period [S1-6_12, §50 c)] | 48.14% |
Note: the method of calculation for the metric is unchanged from the preceding year [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13], with no errors relating to previous periods identified [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14]].
Pursuant to Appendix C to the ESRS 1, Mota-Engil opted to omit the reporting of information on non-employees in the first year for making sustainability statements.
In addition to the metric used to measure the performance of the target relating to the percentage of women in management positions, Mota-Engil also reports the diversity indicators included in the ESRS S1-9 report. The information in the following tables leads to a comprehension of the gender diversity in upper management and the age distribution of Mota-Engil's workers.
The number of workers is reported in number of effective people counted at the end of the reporting [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].

Mota-Engil takes into account the payment rates and standards in each country where it operates. Every year, the Group takes part in the Korn Ferry wage benchmarking programme to ensure that its remuneration practices are competitive and are in line with local market conditions. This process permits the Group to assess and adjust wage levels pursuant to local regulations and ensure that the local workforce is paid according to the applicable levels locally. In addition, internal equity and external market trends are continuously monitored with a view to maintaining a sustainable and competitive compensation strategy [S1-10_01, §69 | MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
All Mota-Engil employees are covered by social protection by means of public programmes or by benefits provided by the Group. In general terms, employees are covered by social security against loss of income due to illness [S1-11_01, §74 a)], unemployment from the moment that the workerstarts working for the company [S1-11_02, §74 b)], accidents at work and invalidity [S1-11_03, §74 c)], parental leave [S1-11_04, §74 d)] and retirement [S1-11_05, §74 e)]. Meanwhile, certain geographies where the Group operates have specific terms for social protection and do not cover all of the categories mentioned (see following table).

Note: the information in the table only considers Mota-Engil employees.
With regard to reporting data on employees with disabilities, Mota-Engil only reports data for Portugal. In other regions where it operates, such as Africa and Latin America, there are significant challenges in obtaining accurate information due to different definitions of disability and the lack of standardised reporting mechanisms. Therefore, the reporting of this metric will focus exclusively on Portugal, where reliable data exists. In Portugal, the law considers a person to be disabled when they are officially assessed and determined to have a degree of disability equal to or greater than 60 per cent. Mota-Engil only reports data on employees s with disabilities for Portugal.
The number of workers is reported at the end of the report period [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. This metric is subject to external verification within the scope of the present report and is not verified by other bodies [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].

|---|---|
| Total number of employees | 9,388 |
| Total number of employees with disabilities | 144 |
| Percentage of persons with disabilities among employees [S1-12_01, §79] |
With regard to Statute no. 4/2019, which establishes the employment quotas for persons with disabilities with a degree of incapacity of 60% or more and introduces the obligation for companies in the private sector to hire persons with disabilities, Mota-Engil is committed to compliance with the legislation and to the identification of the most talented people for its companies, thus contributing to the access of persons with disabilities to the working market and the opportunity for pursuing a career path. Mota-Engil has identified the Group companies to which this legal obligation is applicable, and is undergoing transition, as established in the law, to achieve full compliance.
Mota-Engil transversally promotes the development of learning as a valuable instrument in the management of human resources based upon five guiding principles:
The Group considers it relevant to provide training that is a vehicle for the growth, enhancement and development of employees with the constant technological advances, innovation and competitivity in the business world calling for the recycling of expertise and new learning. The training actions provided aim to refine the skills of employees, with significant impact on individual performance and boosting career progression.
The data reported includes the records of training submitted on the METalent portal. The Management of Learning tool permits the monitoring of the training of Mota-Engil Group's employees, including the e-learning content made available and successfully completed. The training reported by markets with their records maintained locally in the various programmes and tools, essentially large-scale and short-term training promoted by local SHEQ teams are also considered [S1-13.MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)].

Mota-Engil has established a career model that is applicable to all companies run by the Group and the respective employees with a contractual link. These are the respective goals:
Evolution throughout the Group's Career Model will result from the combining of the following criteria:
Mota-Engil has applied a performance assessment model with a view to the personal and professional development of Group's people. This is intended to acknowledge the meritocracy and promotion of sustainable growth of the Group and covers all Mota-Engil employees (including countries/markets and Group companies).
Performance is focussed on measurable results and on desirable behaviour and attitudes by means of a qualitative and quantitative assessment with a range of inputs from management, peers, clients, and partners. This is an annual process, consisting of several stages to ensure continuous monitoring of the performance of the Group's people - definition and confirmation of goals; continuous assessment; self-assessment; assessment of the previous year; harmonisation and communication of the assessment [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. The Performance Assessment process is managed from an online platform where it is possible to obtain a list of workers covered by these process [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)].

Note 1: No errors were found relating to previous years [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14], while there were modifications to the calculation method compared to the previous year[BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13]. Previously, the relation between the number of employees subject to a performance and career development study compared to the total number of employees eligible for assessment of performance by professional category and gender was considered. In 2024, the total number of Group employees by gender was considered [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13 | S1-13.MDR-M_02; §77 a) (ESRS 2)].
Note 2: the Values calculated on the basis of the Group´s central information that does not cover the entirety of the employees(their incorporation is underway) [S1-13.MDR-M_02; §77 a) (ESRS 2)].
Mota-Engil acknowledges the importance of promoting a work-life balance for its employees. As part of this commitment and while not all employees have the right to family related leave by means of the social policy and/or collective bargaining agreements [S1-15_04, §94], the Group ensures that the majority of its workers has access to such leave.
Family related leave includes parental leave as well as carer leave provided for in national legislation or in collective bargaining agreements.
Data of workers who enjoy family related leave set out in the following table cover the accumulated leave during 2024 [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)]. This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and is not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].

Information on the gender pay gap and the annual total remuneration ratio provides a clear vision of the Group's practices and helps to recognise and mitigate potential pay inequalities.
Current Group procedures regarding the remuneration and bonuses system guarantee respect for the principle of equal pay for equal work which, is based on an objective model of performance assessment that is impartial to any gender biases and refraining from applying penalties to employees for the exercise of their family responsibilities.
In this context, the Group has applied a series of actions (see section Actions and resources) which translate into positive practices in combatting gender discrimination and inequality, promoting a renewed organisational culture that is able to understand and enhance – personally and professionally – the contribution of both genders, reinforcing the principle of equality in its practices and serving as a motto for improving competitivity.
The calculation of this metric is obtained by comparing the average male salary with the average female salary. The annual total remuneration ratio was determined by considering the total annual remuneration of the highest paid person compared to the overall median (excluding the previous person) [S1-16_03, §97 c) | MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)].
This metric is subject to external verification regarding this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
| Remuneration metrics | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Gender pay gap [S1-16_01, §97 a)] | -4% |
| Annual total remuneration ratio [S1-16_02, §97 b)] | 97.71 |
Note: the method of calculation for the metric is unchanged from the preceding year [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13], there is no comparison with previous periods [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14].
As mentioned above (see 'Policies' section), the Mota-Engil Group has set up a Harassment and Discrimination Committee to deal with all complaints received through the Formal Complaints Mechanism, and an Incident Resolution Mechanism (IRM) which provides the informal and formal means for employees to have their concerns and complaints resolved. To this end, there is a platform to support the reporting and management of reported cases.
The information contained in the Group's whistleblowing report only includes cases received via the group's ethics hotline ([email protected]), the local ethics hotline in the markets and the Whispli platform, categorised as harassment or discrimination. This report is drawn up by the Group's Internal Audit team and presented to the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, which in turn shares it with the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors [S1-17_07, §103 d)].
The Internal Audit team is responsible for collecting, managing and archiving information on complaints, and has defined criteria for categorising complaints for the Group channel and for the other lines in force. The information is filed in compliance with the strictest rules regarding confidentiality and the permanent objective of avoiding reprisals. However, the number of cases depends on the capacity of the teams at the time of categorisation and is therefore not 100% free of potential failures. Whenever a complaint contains alleged facts attributable to more than one category, it is subdivided and the complainant is informed [MDR-M_02, §77 a) (ESRS 2)].
| Work-related incidents and complaints [S1-17_01, §103] | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Total number of incidents of discrimination and including harassment [S1-17_02, §103 a)] | 28 |

- € |
Note: It should be emphasised that the total number of incidents is based on cases from the Whispli and ethics lines mentioned above. The total number of cases received in this area corresponds to the complaints in the table above.
Although incidents of discrimination were recorded, there were no fines, penalties or compensation resulting from violations related to discrimination and harassment at work [S1-17_06, §103 c)].
In 2024 no serious human rights incidents or matters in relation to Group's own workforce were recorded [S1-17_10, §104 a)]. As no cases have been registered, no fines, penalties or compensation have been applied, so there is no value to reconcile with the accounts [S1-17_12, §104 b)].
This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
With regard to the calculation of these metrics, it is important to note that information on Poland is no longer compiled since the activity in that market was divested [BP-2_10, §13 a) (ESRS 2) | BP-2_11, §13 b) (ESRS 2)].
As a multinational company operating in various sectors, the Mota-Engil Group depends on a vast value chain, especially of goods and services suppliers (Chapter 1.4.4.1.II). The Group may contribute and/or be linked to impacts via a diverse range of value-chain workers, particularly upstream, with regard to suppliers – from the acquisition of building materials and equipment and logistics activities to subcontracting of services. It should be noted that the use of trade contractors is standard practice in the construction industry and directly associated with its business model, ensuring the execution of different stages of projects. This dependence comes from the need to bolster labour and response capacity, specialisation, flexibility and cost optimization [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | §10 a i (S2 SBM-3) | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
It is acknowledged that the employees of subcontractors working on construction projects in particular may be affected materially by the Group's activities due to the nature of its work, namely via health and safety incidents [I-] that may in turn lead to risks of loss of productivity, financial indemnity and damage to Mota-Engil's reputation [R] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_02§ 48 a | SBM-3_04 48 c i | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | §10 a i (S2 SBM-3) | S2.SBM-3_07 ; §13 b/§11 e].
The employees of subcontractors may also be exposed, via employers, to inadequate working conditions (lack of workplace safety, pay, excessive working hours, etc.) [I-] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_04; §48 c i ].
On the other hand, the Group identifies as positive impacts associated with its business model, the generation of employment by using local companies [R+] in the different geographies where it operates, and the promotion of compliance and involvement in decent work, human rights and labour standards. The creation of quality jobs, especially for women and young adults [S2.SBM-3_08; §12] is a priority, as is ensuring that suppliers comply with labour requirements. Also noteworthy is the strong investment that the Mota-Engil Group makes in developing the skills of suppliers' employees, particularly subcontractors, by carrying out awareness-raising and training actions on various topics – occupational health and safety, environment, quality, technical areas, among others [R+]. In addition, and as an equally positive impact, we can identify the prevention and detection of less appropriate behaviour (e.g. harassment and violence in the workplace) through the provision of reporting channels [R+], available to all workers in the value chain, as a way of fostering a safe, ethical environment and promoting working conditions in the value chain [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_04; §48 c i | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | §10 a i (S2 SBM-3) | S2.SBM-3_06; §14 c].
With regard to child and forced labour, Mota-Engil does not exclude its potential existence in the value chain - aware that some of these negative impacts and risks may not only be individual but also systemic in poorer contexts where the Group operates (e.g. Africa and Latin America) or on which it depends for the supply of materials/equipment (e.g. Asia) although it currently has no information to confirm their occurrence [S2.SBM-3_04; §11 b | S2.SBM-3_05; §11 c i/ii]. This issue has been assessed as a material risk because any actual breach by suppliers - in particular subcontractors and especially subcontractors - of contractual agreements relating to human rights commitments could have an impact on the people affected and financial repercussions for the Group, such as fines and/or reputational damage [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a] | S2.SBM-3_07; §13 b)/§11 e].
Mota-Engil is currently improving its due diligence and risk assessment processes to identify potential human rights violations and apply other ESG criteria (Chapter 1.4.4.1.II), thereby having the data available to inform decision-/strategymaking and the company's business model [§10 a ii (S2 SBM-3)].
At the moment, the Group's focus in these processes (and the present report) are tier 1 suppliers, namely subcontractors [S2.SBM-3_01;§11 | S2.SBM-3_03; §11 a i], acknowledging that in the particular case of women (e.g. cases of harassment or difficulties in reaching leadership positions) and migrant workers (e.g. working conditions) the risk may be greater [S2.SBM-3_03; §11 a v]. It should be mentioned that despite Mota-Engil enforcing contractual, legal and Group-defined policy accountability (see "Policies" section) on its suppliers, the context influences the level of control, which is more straightforward in more centralised projects like buildings and more complex in geographically more disperse projects like highways and railways. The supplier selection process, especially for trade contractors, has been evolving – e.g. by integrating criteria on whether a company is local, has fines to pay, etc. (Chapter. 1.4.4.1.II).
IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT Policies
The Group's main policies covering value-chain workers are: the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct, applicable to suppliers working with Mota-Engil; the Human Rights Policy, extendible to subcontractors working on the Group's sites or facilities, other suppliers, business partners, joint ventures, consortia and/or other forms of cooperative relations including entities not controlled by Mota-Engil, etc.; and the Integrated SHEQ Policy, extendible to suppliers and subcontractors [S2.MDR-P_01 §65 a; §16].
As regards the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct and the workers of suppliers, the Code establishes a diversified set of commitments covering social awareness, of which the following stand out for being more directly related to IRO matters: human rights; fair working conditions; child and forced labour; gender equality, workplace diversity and non-discrimination; OHS; local talent; etc. [S2.MDR-P_01 §65 a | S2-1_05; §18 | S2-1_07; AR15].
The Human Rights Policy recognizes the importance of identifying and assessing risks to human rights that the Group's activities may represent for the various stakeholder groups, in the aim of extending beyond Mota-Engil, from the value chain perspective, and prioritizing people. It sets out a set of commitments addressing [S2.MDR-P_01 §65 a | S2-1_01; §17 | S2- 1_05; §18]:
The SHEQ Policy, in turn, focuses on reducing occupational illnesses and promoting the well-being and mental health of workers (Chapter 1.4.3.1.(Policies-OHS)), ensuring respect of human and labor rights in its operations. Among our commitments, also of note is the upskilling of workers via awareness actions and training in various areas [S2.MDR-P_01 §65 a].
The Group's policies and compliance with human and labor rights are materialized in its Integrated Management System, which covers safety, health, and well-being, and it is in conformity with certifiable international norms and legal and contractual requirements and good practices (Chapter 1.4.3.1.I and Chapter 1.4.4.3). In developing these policies, intergovernmental reference documents (e.g. UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises) were considered, in addition to ISO standards sustaining the development of the Integrated Management System [S2-1_01; §17 | S2-1_08; §19]. In 2024, there were no cases of non-compliance based on these international standards at Mota-Engil Group [S2- 1_09; §19].
The commitment to involve worker representatives is expressed through the SHEQ Policy. Reference to the whistleblowing channel (ethics channel) appears in the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct. The Human Rights Policy is an integral part of Mota-Engil's Integrity and Compliance Program and is complemented by a set of documents which includes the Whistleblowing and Non-Retaliation Policy and Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy (see Chapter 1.4.3.1.II( Policies- Talent Management) [S2-1_03; §17 b; S2-1_04; §17 c] (see "Stakeholder Engagement processes" section).
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
The Group considers the perspectives of value-chain workers in its decisions and activities, as well as in managing the real and potential impacts on them [S2-2_01; §22]. The operational responsibility to ensure this involvement and that the results govern the Group's approach falls on the Works/Project/Contract Department [S2-2_04; §22 c].
This engagement occurs directly with workers and their legitimate representatives [S2-2_02; §22 a], at an early stage of impact mitigation, by presenting the policies and procedures needed to adopt the appropriate measures. Interaction is frequent and structured, taking place before the start of activities, during specific training and on a daily basis at Toolbox Talks, as well as in SHEQ Committees at project level, guaranteeing a continuous and integrated approach to the management of safety, health and well-being; both forms of involvement include moments dedicated to reflection on safety, the so-called Safety Moment - see Chapter. 1.4.3.1. (IRO Management) [S2-2_03; §22 b].
The SHEQ Committee, implemented at project level, is a structured channel that allows subcontractor employees to contribute relevant information and opinions in the aim of setting measures to mitigate risk and improve working conditions. The measures implemented and assessed for their respective effectiveness are presented in this forum, allowing continual improvement of practices and procedures. It is also a channel through which good practices are reinforced [S2-2_06; §22 e].
In addition, the whistleblower channel is an important means to also obtain feedback, by reporting cases of harassment, discrimination and other situations that may occur [S2-2_01; §22] (see "Remediation processes and communication channels" section) [S2-2_05; §22 d].
The Group adopts various approaches to the process of remediating the negative impacts on value-chain workers according to the different existing means of involvement and communication channels referred to in the previous section. These allow negative material impacts to be identified, which are in turn handled according to type by the local or corporate teams (legal, SHEQ, Compliance, internal auditing, etc.) [S2-3_01; §27 a) | S2-3_02; §27 b)].
The Group identifies and assesses the effectiveness of the measures to mitigate the negative impacts on trade contractors through the Whistleblowing Channel and internal SHEQ audits [S2-3_01; §27 a) | S2-3_02; §27 b)].
The Whistleblowing Channel, as an online hotline, is permanently available to supply-chain workers as well as other related parties/stakeholders, allowing problems to be identified and corrected anonymously and confidentially and ensuring the principle of non-retaliation [S2-3_06; §28]. This channel is disseminated in various ways, namely via posters with a link and QR code, so that workers have access without having to enter the Group's website [S2-3_03; §27 c). For discrimination and harassment-related issues, the Group has a Policy that foresees local resolution mechanisms, foregoing the use of the whistleblower hotline if the worker chooses to do so (Chapter 1.4.3.1.II(Politics-Talent Management)) [S2-3_03; §27 c)].
The internal SHEQ audits monitor compliance with health and safety standards (and other criteria) and create detailed reports [S2-3_01; §27 a)]. Within this scope specifically, the Group is engaged in remediating situations in which its activities have caused or contributed to negative impacts. The implementation of remediation and/or mitigation measures is closely tracked, ensuring continual improvement. The remediation measures and assessment of their effectiveness are determined case by case and according to the local context. The remediation process includes implementation of corrective measures and the sharing of knowledge (lessons learned) to avoid similar cases occurring in the future [S2-3_01; §27 a)].
It should be mentioned that the Mota-Engil Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct specifies that suppliers must create their own whistleblowing systems or adhere to a system covering the whole sector (according to Law no 93/2021 which establishes the general whistleblower protection framework) and that suppliers must inform their workers about the whistleblowing options [S2-3_02; §27 b)].
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
• More information on the tracking and monitoring of the issues raised and addressed and guarantee of the effectiveness of the channels: ESRS 2-3, §27 d, AR25 – Chapter 1.4.4.1. (G1-1) (Policies- Whistleblowing Channel and whistleblower protection).
In 2024, the Group set out and implemented a set of measures to manage the material impacts and risks associated with Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) and to foster mental health and well-being [S2-4_01; §32 a | S2-4_03; §32 c | S2- 4_08; §34 a]. Many of these measures are not only aimed at Mota-Engil's employees but extendible to its subcontractors (Chapter 1.4.3.1.I (Actions and Resources - OHS)) [S2.MDR-A_01; §68 a]. It should be noted that ISO 45001, one of the benchmarks used by Mota-Engil to develop its SHEQ Integrated Management System, sets out requirements that are not limited just to the organization's direct employees – its scope extends to all personnel performing functions under the Group's control, including service providers, subcontractors, and external workers.
Among the main measures executed and planned that include trade contractors are the following – detailed in Chapter 1.4.3.1. (Actions and resources- OHS) [S2.MDR-A_01; §68 a | S2-4_01; §32 a | S2-4_03; §32 c | S2-4_08; §34 a]:
Highlighted as a measure to harness the positive impact identified at the OHS level is investment in the SHEQ Training Plan, which also includes trade contractors and covers the main critical topics for each activity – including induction, specific training and awareness-raising campaigns – in the ultimate aim of empowering workers and fostering incident prevention [S2.MDR-A_01; §68 a | S2-4_01; §32 a | S2-4_03; §32 c | S2-4_08; §34 a].
Currently, the action plan for subcontractors, unless contractually agreed with them, is financed by Mota-Engil, which allows us to act autonomously and flexibly. In addition to the financial resources allocated, the Group has a series of human resources (SHEQ teams) that exist in each of the projects/companies and support the control of the subcontracting chain [S2.MDR-A_06; §69 a | S2-4_12; §38].
The key actions to provide, cooperate and support remediation for those harmed by real material impacts include emergency support in accident situations by Mota-Engil itself, assuring the best treatment possible for accident victims [S2- 4_02; §32 b | S2.MDR-A_04; §68 d].
In addition, for each activity, we conduct a risk analysis setting out the necessary mitigation measures to reduce or avoid negative impacts. We also have a process for managing incidents (including accidents or close calls) that occur in our operations, including with trade contractors. This process includes analysis of the causes and definition of corrective measures [S2-4_05; §33 a] | S2-4_07; §33 c | S2-4_08;§34 a | AR43].
Additionally, as a measure to mitigate the risks associated with the value chain, it is also of note that the supplier selection process (Chapter 1.4.4.1.II (Actions and resources)), of trade contractors, in particular, has been under development by introducing various additional criteria in line with the risks identified and Mota-Engil's strategic goals – e.g. prioritizing local companies, confirming the existence of fines, etc., in advance. Both at the selection process and supplier assessment level, Mota-Engil has been revising/updating its Supplier Management Procedure to boost the integration of ESG criteria and thereby consolidate the decision-making process regarding counterparties it has relations with and to strengthen its ability to influence them [S2.MDR-A_01; §68 a | S2-4_08;§34 a].
The effectiveness of these measuresis tracked by the recording and evolution of accidents involving subcontractors (though this information is not consolidated yet, at a Group-wide level and the process is undergoing improvements – see "Targets and metrics" section) by assessing the corrective and preventive measures taken and by examining audit results [S2-4_04; §32 d].
Finally, it should be noted that the Group processes designed to manage material risks related to the supplier chain are integrated into existing risk management via the Enterprise Risk Register (ERR), in addition to assessments at project level [AR43].
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
In similarity to that applicable to its own employees, Mota-Engil Group is working to define a strategic goal associated with the Lost-Time Injury Frequency rate (LTIFR) that covers trade contractors, forecast for implementation in 2025 [S2.MDR-T_14; §72/81 a)]. However, and so that the target is set based on consistent data, the data must be centrally available [S2.MDR-T_15; §72/81 a]. Currently, the necessary metrics for this process are parametrized on the platform for reporting and managing the Group's sustainability information. Effort is focused on integrating and implementing these metrics across the Group so that consolidated data is available and, therefore, a structured and consistent path can be defined and followed that reinforces the priority on the safety and well-being of all those involved in the Group's operations [S2.MDR-T_14; §72/81 a)].
Mota-Engil Group acknowledges that its presence in various geographical areas require an active commitment to the local communities, promoting initiatives of social responsibility, investment in infrastructure and projects that promote local economic development in favour of the community. The material topics associated include the generation of employment [I+] and the qualification of local people, the benefits of which greatly exceed the limited duration of certain projects [I+], the Group being likewise engaged in promoting local talent into management positions [I+] (Chapter 1.4.3.1.II) with a concomitant increase in local purchases (Chapter 1.4.4.1.II) [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv; §8 a i) | S3.SBM-3_05; §9 c].
These positive impacts are particularly important in geographical areas in development, where Mota-Engil has an established presence, such as in Africa where, historically, the Group has executed its activities for several decades and, also in Latin America. The Group´s activities in these geographical areas are sustained on a strategy of ongoing expansion and investment, being one of the drivers of growth for the Group. As a part of this strategy, Mota-Engil enhances its experience and reputation in these regions, establishing partnerships with multinational investors and ensuring long-term contracts. Furthermore, the Group also takes part in structuring projects that have a significant impact on the development of infrastructure and local economies. The importance of these geographical areas to the Group is evident from its order book and the volume of business in these regions. As a result, the Group maintains its commitment to continue to invest in these areas, adapting to local demands and reinforcing its position as a major player, particularly in the construction and engineering sectors and mostly in the field of infrastructure projects. The impacts generated by the Group are not restricted to these geographical areas, being applicable transversally wherever Mota-Engil has a presence [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii |SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | §8 a i)].
Mota-Engil´s relationship with local communities is a part of the culture and history of the Group, an aspect that is valued for being strategic and resulted in the creation of the Manuel Antonio da Mota Foundation (Fundação Manuel António da Mota) (FMAM), which was established in 2009 and officially recognized in 2010. By means of the activities of FMAM along with the social responsibility activities on the side of the Group companies – including construction works and/or refurbishment carried out (e.g. building of schools, health centers, roads), awareness and education activities as well as community support, donations and volunteering – that benefit local communities and are undertaken outside of the scope of the projects for which the Group has been directly contracted [I+], boosts its social legitimacy and acceptance in the territories where it operates [O] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_02; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv] | S3.SBM-3_05; §9 c]].
As a result, activities in this area are an important opportunity to encourage the Group´s integration into the local culture as well as promoting the image and reputation of the Group along with a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose on the part of employees, contributing to the recruitment and retention of talent (Chapter 1.4.3.1.(Strategy)) [O]. The promotion of local talent also reduces the costs associated with the expatriation of personnel while promoting local competences and meeting the need to attract and retain talent, promoting equality with a positive impact on the reputation of Mota-Engil [O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | [SBM-3_02; §48 a ].
In addition to the positive impacts mentioned above and, as a counterpoint, the Group acknowledges as material the existence of negative impacts associated with road safety. The presence of a work site, the flow of traffic (heavy vehicles) and changes to urban traffic flows lead to an increase in road accidents that affect both personnel and other road users [I-], this being an aspect in which the Group invests heavily by means of the promotion of road safety awareness campaigns with local communities within the scope of its occupational health and safety programs (Chapter 1.4.3.1.I (Actions and Resources - OHS) [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
Additionally, Mota-Engil must deal with potential security situations in unstable areas where it operates which are subject to political and economic volatility, particularly in Africa and Latin America. These challengesinclude the need for additional protective measures for personnel (Chapter 1.4.3.1.) as well as for the infrastructure. The risk of unauthorized access to Group sites is acknowledged as a material risk due to security breaches that result in robbery, vandalism or the loss of confidential information on the one hand as well as the theft of materials, supplies and equipment on the part of internal personnel, suppliers or third parties (this risk is not exclusive to these geographical areas) [R]. In turn, inadequately controlled or trained security teams may result in potential impacts in the form of violence against members of the local community [I-]; the absence of human rights training for local security teams and permits and/or training in firearms use may similarly constitute a risk for the Group [R] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_02; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | §8 a i)].
In terms of public health, reference should be made to the specific IRO of the Environment business unit. By taking on a central role in the Group's 2022-2026 strategy and being the most relevant in addition to E&C (Chapter. 1.4.3.3.), action in the management and recovery of waste and promotion of the circular economy generates several positive material impacts, also constituting a strategic opportunity for Mota-Engil - by investing in the provision of urban cleaning services, selective collection and management of waste infrastructures, it can contribute directly and indirectly to the promotion of public health, especially in developing countries and, at the same time, provide an increase in revenue for the Group's companies. [O] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | §8 a i)].
Positive material impacts include [I+]: urban cleaning and the efficient waste management and their contribution to the reduction of risks to health (prevention of the spreading of infections), improvements to environmental quality (reduction of air, water and soil pollution by keeping urban spaces clean) as well as for the general well-being of local populations and communities; environmental awareness and education intended to educate and change the behavior of the producers of urban waste, the maintenance of a clean and healthy environment; promotion of best practices of separation of waste with incentives from financial contributions to schools and NGOs, the awarding of recognition, the provision of waste collection materials to local businesses and schools and others [S3.SBM-3_05; §9 c]. Notwithstanding the associated benefits and the importance of these services for the community, the Group´s activities in this field are not free from generating negative impacts that may affect the same, such as the discomfort resulting from the release of the unpleasant odors deriving from and associated with the management of certain waste processing infrastructure (e.g. landfills, organic processing units, waste triage centers), in particular among the population living in the area surrounding these infrastructure facilities are negative impacts [I-] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv | §8 a i)].
The present report focuses on communities located in the immediate surroundings of projects and infrastructures that are managed by the Group. The compensation and mitigation measures for the local communitiesin the area surrounding the works and services of the E&C business unit are contractual requirements, the developer of the project assuming responsibility for communicating with the local affected communities (contractual management of the site). Due to the heterogeneity of the various sites, customers and geographical areas, the site management may assume this oversight where all environmental and health and safety plans are drafted considering the impacts and risks for the local community as set out in the procedures for the involvement of the interested parties.
In the case of the Environment business unit, the scope is broader, covering at least the population of the area operated. There may, however, be parts of the population that are more particularly affected, for example by odours (due to their closer proximity) [S3.SBM-3_01; §9 | [S3.SBM-3_02; §9 a | S3.SBM-3_03; §9 a i | S3.SBM-3_03; §9 a ii]].
At present and as a response to the strategic sustainability goals established by the Group (Chapter 1.2.2.1 and see the section ´Goals and metrics`), Mota-Engil has sought to adapt its strategy to achieve the goals established. In particular, in the Environment business unit, the communities affected/served take part in establishing the short- medium- and long-term strategic plans for Group companies that run the Systems of Urban Waste Management (SGRU), directly by means of a public consultation and/or indirectly by means of local groups – see section - ´Procedures for the involvement of the Parties " [§8 a i)].
The Group´s main policies regarding local communities and that are in line with the IROs associated with social responsibility, the promotion of public health, the creation of local employment and the development of competencies and safety practices and conflict zones are the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Code of Ethics and Conduct of Suppliers, the Human Rights Policy, the Volunteers Policy and the Integrated SHEQ Policy.
Aware of its role in society, Mota-Engil Group is supported by the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and transversal policies and procedures. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for the Group sets the fundamental values of Mota-Engil which are based on its business ethics policy and its commitment to integrity from which environmental protection and support for local communities are fundamental pillars [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 a (ESRS 2)]. [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 a (ESRS 2)].
By means of said code, Mota-Engil commits to being a socially active and responsible part of the community, contributing positively over the long-term to the countries and communities where it operates. With a view to generating a positive social impact, the Group seeks to involve the local community in its activities, promoting the use of local expertise, goods, materials, services or to directly employ local labour. Furthermore, Mota-Engil prioritises open involvement and fluid communication with the communities affected by its operations to create and maintain mutually beneficial relations based on comprehension, transparency, and ethical behaviour [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 a (ESRS 2)].
In its Code of Ethics and Supplier Conduct, Mota-Engil reinforces its commitment to ethical, legal, environmental and social responsibility standards and recognises the leading role that its suppliers play in maintaining a robust policy that actively protects human rights and the achievement of these objectives. The commitment of suppliers is fundamental to maintaining a robust policy that protects internationally recognised human rights based on the Guiding Principles of the United Nations Convention on Business and Human Rights, including the protection of local communities, indigenous peoples and human rights defenders. [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 a (ESRS 2)].
The Group´s Human Rights Policy, published in 2024, sets out the mission of the Group based on the values that reflect its commitment to the people with whom it works and the communities where it operates. This policy guides all of the Group´s interactions and relationships established or to be established with those interested parties, including the communities surrounding its activities and operations, taking the principles and commitments enshrined in the policy as its basis [S3.MDR-P_01 §65 a (ESRS 2)].
Recognising the importance of identifying and assessing the risks to human rights that its activities may pose for the various stakeholder groups and, in particular, for the local communities potentially affected by its activities, the Group has defined specific commitments in this regard, of which the most important is to be a socially active and responsible member, making a positive and lasting contribution to the communities in which it operates. In this context, it prioritises the prevention and mitigation of adverse impacts on the health and safety of communities. Promotes open and transparent engagement with affected communities [S3-1_04; §16b] (see section "Processes for the involvement of the interested parties") (see section "Processes for stakeholder engagement") and seeks to support communities by developing infrastructure and corporate social responsibility initiatives, hiring locally, and encouraging their involvement in the Group's activities. [S3.MDR-P_01 §65 a (ESRS 2) | S3-1_02; §16 | S3-1_02; §16a].
At present, the activities of the Group do not affect Indigenous communities [S3-1_01, §15]. However, the Group´s Human Rights Policy includes commitments that ensure the protection of their rights where the Group start to operate in regions where these communities are present, efforts to support the unique and important rights of indigenous peoples over the land, water and environment, along with their history, culture, heritage and traditional way of life pursuant to international standards, the ILO 169th Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Nations and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) [S3-1_01, §15 | S3-1_02; §16a].
The commitment of the Group to the environment aims to protect the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right. Mota-Engil Group works to minimise its environmental impact and effects on human health, avoiding or minimising the pollution deriving from the activities of its projects [S3-1_02; §16 | S3-1_02; §16a].
The Group acknowledges the unique challenges of operating in regions that are politically unstable, and areas affected by conflicts, emphasising its commitment to promote security and stability in the regions and countries where it operates by means of the application of security protocols that are adapted to respect international human rights standards and ensure the protection of its personnel and interested parties while avoiding contributing to local tensions. The Group´s approach in this context involves conducting measures to strengthen human rights training, engagement with interested parties and ensuring that its operations respect the principles of sensitivity to the conflict [S3-1_02; §16].
By means of its Human Rights Policy, Mota-Engil Group fully supports the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration relating to the Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work, together with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Companies on Responsible Business Conduct and related guidelines, not having reported cases of non-fulfilment that involve the affected communities [S3-1_06; §17].
The Volunteering Policy was also published in 2024 which embodies and reaffirms Mota-Engil Group´s commitment to promoting volunteer work as a tool for social mobilisation, citizenship, and personal development. This policy, drafted on the basis of the Bases for the Legal Framework for Volunteering (Law 71/98 of the 3rd of November) and in line with the BCSD Portugal Charter of Principles [S3.MDR-P_04; §65 d (ESRS 2)], establishes the principle guidelines that direct the realisation of volunteer work activities together with the rights and duties attributed to employees and Mota-Engil and the duties attributed to FMAM in this context [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 a (ESRS 2)].
With the aim of portraying the performance and the progress made over the year, publishing internally the activities carried out by volunteers and translating the volunteer actions into statistics and indicators on an annual basis, the Mota-Engil Annual Assessment of the Volunteer Programme is published [S3.MDR-P_01; §65 to (ESRS 2)]. This report highlights the principal actions undertaken, mobilization and indicators for the volunteer initiatives and their beneficiaries.

For the Integrated SHEQ Policy the Group assumes commitments related with the health and safety of the communities where it operates, being the specific commitment to reinforce actions in the context of health and safety in the communities important, as they aim to reduce and prevent work-related illness (physical and mental) and the promotion of the wellbeing of all personnel and communities surrounding the Projects/Contracts.
The Group prioritises the safety and wellbeing of the communities where it operates, closely monitoring incidents and ensuring the effectiveness of the measures applied and respecting the rights of these communities. The Group adopts practices that prevent and mitigate negative impacts for health and safety at all stages of projects [S3-1_02; §16c].
The Group´s actions are supported by an ongoing dialogue with the affected communities that will be sustained by the indevelopment Community Engagement Plan, which aims to strengthen the Group´s commitment to transparency and dialogue [S3-1_02; §16b | S3-1_02; §16c]. Channels are also made available for complaints to be made (see section Remediation procedures and communications channels) to ensure that any concerns or questions can be reported effectively and confidentially, ensuring that all complaints are treat impartially and that whistleblowers are protected against any form of retaliation [S3-1_02; §16b |S3-1_02; §16c].
The Mota-Engil Group is developing its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy along with the abovementioned Community Engagement Plan [S3.MDR-P_07; §62 (ESRS 2), publication being expected in 2025 [S3.MDR-P_08; §62 (ESRS 2)].
The following information is included referring to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
The Mota-Engil Group recognises the importance of involving local communities in the various phases of projects. Depending on the type of project, the Client is responsible for promoting a social and environmental impact study with a special focus on the impact on communities, with the aim of identifying negative and positive impacts associated with the project and defining actions to mitigate risks or maximise opportunities for communities, which are duly implemented by the Group and monitored by the Client. This study takes into account local legislation and the client's requirements. In addition to these contractually defined actions, the Group also identifies social responsibility actions, financed by the Group, with the aim of promoting equal opportunities, business opportunities, improving the conditions of communities and their literacy and competence. Depending on what is contractually defined, the relationship with the communities can be carried out exclusively by the client or jointly with the Group. The budget for social responsibility initiatives is managed locally in each company or respective project, and there is not yet a standardised definition applicable to all business areas [S3-2_01; §21 | S3-2_04; §21 c | S3-2_03; §21 b | S3-2_02; §21 a].
In the case of the Environment business unit in Portugal, the communities affected/served also participate [S3- 2_03;§21 b]:
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
• IIn the use of the Recycling Line - a free, nationwide public customer service, made available by EGF since 2021, with the aim of providing clarification and answering questions, suggestions, complaints and requests for services related to the collection and treatment of urban waste. This service allows citizens to obtain information on recycling and waste management in a simple and accessible way.
The affected/served communities participate in defining the short, medium and long-term strategic plans of the companies that manage these SGRUs, directly through public consultation and/or indirectly through local authorities. Communities participate in monitoring and evaluating the activities of the companies that manage the SGRUs:
EGF also encourages the involvement of the communities with the best waste management practices by means of the promotion of environmental training and awareness activities, eco events, visits to the industrial plants, participation in fairs and exhibitions and developing protocols for collaboration with local institutions (Social Support Institutions (IPSS - Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social), cultural, sports and environmental associations) [S3-2_03;§21 b].
In the Environment business unit, responsibility for ensuring that these processes take place is of the Executive Director [S3- 2_04; §21 c].
The Mota-Engil Group is currently improving its processes, as they currently do not allow for a systematic measurement of the effectiveness of its involvement with affected communities. However, some feedback is gathered through followup meetings or day-to-day management [S3-2_05; §21 d].
In the case of the Environment business unit, assessment of the effectiveness of community engagement processes is ensured by carrying out client satisfaction assessment surveys and by statistically analysing recycling line records (the latter applies to Portugal) [S3-2_05; §21 d].
Given the dispersal of the Group, we do not currently have the necessary means to monitor the process of engagement with the affected communities. The community representatives ensure that the necessary information is passed on by holding follow-up meetings. Whenever justified, the subjects covered in these meetings, as well as the results, are duly documented [S3-2_06; §22].
The Group adopts a variety of approaches to the remediation process for the negative impacts relating to local communities on the basis of the various means for involvement and the existing communications channels referred to in the previous section and that facilitate the identification of negative material impacts that in turn are dealt with on the basis of their nature by the local or corporate teams (legal, SHEQ, Compliance, internal audit etc.). The projects/contracts/establishments have an Environmental Management Plan that includes the Emergency Management Plan which identifies preventative and corrective measures. Where applicable and subject to the evaluation of the environmental impact, the environmental impact study also establishes a series of actions to be applied. The dialogue with communities will be enhanced by the Stakeholders Engagement Plan (expected in 2025 – see section "Actions and resources") [S3-3_10; §27 a)].
The importance of providing accessible and effective complaint mechanisms is acknowledged, for both physical (such as forms and suggestion boxes) and digital, and applying correction plansto adequately respond to complaints submitted by the community [S3-3_11; §27 b)].
The Group makes various direct mechanisms available so that affected communities can express their concerns and needs: these include physical communications mechanisms whereby communities can report their concerns; and direct communication with community representatives promoting an ongoing dialogue [S3-3_11; §27 b)].
In addition, the Group offers a specific and independent Whistleblowing Channel, which guarantees anonymity, confidentiality and non-retaliation (Chapter 1.4.4.1.I (Policies)). Through this digital channel, the affected communities can report irregularities on a voluntary basis ensuring that their concerns are heard, including breaches of the Code of Ethics, financial fraud, violations of human rights and other crucial matters [S3-3_11; §27 b) | S3-3_15; §28].
All Group companies have specific channels for receiving and dealing with complaints, with replies going to the complainant. The information is decentralised in all companies/markets and a six-monthly report is produced with a view to systematising the most frequently recurring situations [S3-3_11; §27 b) | S3-3_15; §28].
By integrating these channels into the due diligence processes, the organisation evaluates and mitigates the risks that might compromise the physical integrity of the affected communities, including discriminatory practices and poor safety conditions in the workplace. Said mechanisms thus not only strengthen the commercial relationship but also ensure that responsible practices are adopted, protecting the communities directly and promoting ethical and sustainable commercial interactions [S3-3_12; §27 c)].
The follow-up and monitoring of concerns raised varies from site to site, however clear processes are followed to ensure that each situation is recorded, analysed and dealt with appropriately by an independent team. Specific platforms and systems are used to ensure that concerns are followed up closely, with periodic reviews to assess the effectiveness of actions and make adjustments where necessary. Communication channels are periodically evaluated to ensure that they adequately meet the needs of the communities and promote a continuous flow of information. To reinforce this approach, the Group holds regular meetings with local communities in order to gather direct feedback and better understand their concerns and needs. This ensures a constant dialogue, allowing for adjustments to strategies and measures as necessary [S3-3_13; §27 d) | S3-3_14; §28].
The following information is included remitting to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
• More information on following up and monitoring the issues raised and addressed and ensuring the effectiveness of the channels: ESRS 2-3, §27 d, AR25 – Chapter 1.4.4.1.i (Policies – Channel for complaints and the protection of complainants)
Mota-Engil has several actions underway to encourage positive impacts and take advantage of opportunities, as well as actions to address risks and prevent/remedy identified negative impacts. Many of these actions are transversal to the Group and are associated with the ongoing work to restructure the Group's corporate social responsibility action - using the Corporate Social Responsibility Working Group, with the support of FMAM - and the SHEQ area, particularly in the context of occupational health and safety (OHS) and the environment. In addition, and given the specific characteristics of the Environment business unit, there are various actions that form part of the day-to-day management of these companies in the management of the IROs identified. Given these two areas of activity, the actions with a transversal impact on the Mota-Engil Group and those that are specific to the Environment business unit are subdivided below.
In 2024, various actions with a transversal impact on the Group were implemented, in terms of relations with the affected communities and also covering other material issues. Among the main actions carried out and planned in 2024, the following stand out, and for the sake of summary (and avoiding repetition) more information is referred to the respective chapters [S3.MDR-A_01; §68 a]:
The publication of the Human Rights Policy was an important step. It is intrinsically linked to the social responsibility strategy that aims to support social, educational, cultural, and environmental development for the communities where Mota-Engil operates in the sense of creating value for society, adopting ethical practices that respect human rights and promote transparency in relationships with the interested parties.
The Mota-Engil Group supports and realises its actions in favour of local communities by means of the initiatives developed by the local teams and FMAM. Maintaining the Group´s traditions, the various local Mota-Engil teams develop projects of different types including construction and refurbishment work; awareness campaigns; solidarity activities, volunteer work and support for the local communities. Many of these local initiatives derive from involvement with partner entities, including the FMAM. Strengthening its role as active citizens committed to causes of collective interest, corporate volunteer efforts have been promoted so as to become an integral part of the custom and practice of the life of Mota-Engil personnel and benefit the local communities [S3.MDR-A_01; §68 a]. This work, along with the abovementioned structuring and better systematisation of social responsibility activities, as well as their measurement, are some of the highlights of 2024.

The Stakeholders Engagement Plan is expected to be developed by 2025 so that there is a formal involvement with the communities. |
At present these actions are financed by Mota-Engil which allows us to act autonomously and flexibly without requiring significant capital expenditure (CapEx) or significant operating costs (OpEx), current or future, in relation to the Group's total (immaterial) [S3.MDR-A_09; §69 b | S3.MDR-A_11; §69 c | S3.MDR-A_10; §69 b | S3.MDR-A_12; §69 c]. In addition to the financial resources allocated, a series of human resources is made available (SHEQ and project/contract teams) which contribute to the carrying out of such actions in addition to the contribution from FMAM in certain partnership activities [S3.MDR-A_06;§69 a].
By means of the ERR (Enterprise Risk Register) and locally, a risk analysis associated with the communities is carried out where the mitigation measures are established [AR42]. As part of the processes for identifying actions, business units, companies and focal points are involved, following ISO, IFC (World Bank) standards and best practices to meet needs. A risk analysis is carried out for all activity with the respective establishment of the mitigation actions. At times the client has responsibility for involvement, although Mota-Engil collaborates actively in the process and in its execution. Regular and close contact with community representatives and other parties interested in the mitigation of negative impacts (e.g. government, customers etc.) is essential to understand their concerns and needs. This ongoing dialogue allows us to adapt operations and ensure that the measures applied meet the needs of the communities. The risk analysis carried out prior to each operation is also fundamental to the definition of the actions to prevent or mitigate the negative material impacts on the communities affected by our operations [S3-4_05; §33 a].

In the case of EGF companies, the ability to implement the plans depends on: (1) approval of the Plans by the Grantor (PAPERSU - Planos Municipais, Intermunicipais e Multimunicipais de Ação) - Municipal, Intermunicipal and Multimunicipal Action Plans; (2) approval of the investments and costs (CRP) by the ERSAR and the Grantor; (3) approval of the CRP by the Consultative Council (municipalities); (4) Finance – bank or any investment subsidies (PRR; Environmental Fund etc.) [S3.MDR-A_06; §69 a]. The planning, communications and awareness, environmental, security and quality departments are involved in the management of the impacts along with operational and support departments (e.g. innovation, finance, IT) are also involved in management impact [S3-4_12; §38].
Detailing the information set out in the table, regarding actions intended to prevent or mitigate the negative material impacts of the organisation on the affected communities [S3-4_01; §32 a | S3-4_10; §35]:
• Actions to reduce the impact on the wellbeing of the community from the release of unpleasant odours by waste treatment installations.
These include actions implemented on an ongoing basis from the design phase and throughout the operation phase:
These include actions implemented on an ongoing basis from the stage of choosing the location where collection equipment will be made available and during the operation phase, such as:
Providing for actions implemented on an ongoing basis during the operational stage, including:
In order to remedy the impacts that have occurred, technical studies are carried out to identify the main sources of odour emissions and consequent design of constructive/operational solutions to mitigate the intensity of these sources, and in the event of hit-and-run situations or other situations depending on the traffic generated, the victims are provided with the necessary support in all applicable areas [S3.MDR-A_04; §68 d | S3-4_02; §32 b].
There are no reports of severe human rights problems or incidents related to the affected communities [S3-4_11; §36].
With regard to the processes for identifying actions that have a negative impact on the affected communities, the following should be mentioned: identification of hazards and risk assessment of all environmental and occupational health and safety activities, including their annual review or whenever there are significant changes; the definition and implementation of measures to deal with identified hazards and risks; the involvement of interested parties in the process through prior consultation and subsequent communication of the defined treatment measures; the systematic implementation of the process for evaluating the effectiveness of the measures for treating hazards and risks and redefining actions whenever the result of the effectiveness evaluation is not satisfactory [S3-4_05; §33 a |S3-4_07; §33 c].
The Evaluation of the effectiveness of the actions is carried out by one or a combination of various of the following means [S3-4_04; §32 d]:
In terms of positive impacts, the Environment business unit regularly promotes, as a result of contractual aspects and social responsibility actions, environmental awareness and education initiatives aimed at empowering and changing the behaviour of urban waste producers to maintain a clean and healthy environment and which also promote the circular economy (Chapter 1.4.2.3 (Actions and resources)). The EGF Group's corporate campaigns included around 10 million participants and collected 11,000 tonnes of packaging in 2024. The following activities carried out in Portugal stand out [S3-4_03; §32 c]:
The REUSE MAP is a Valorsul project that maps and publicises all the activities related to reusing materials and combating food waste in the 19 municipalities where Valorsul operates. Citizens can search for and locate, both in a list and on a map, various projects, shops and events dedicated to these practices, guaranteeing systematised access to information about the places where they can contribute (both as consumers and as donors/sellers) to more sustainable consumption. Through this site you can find second-hand materials (clothes, books, food reuse, donations).
The Ecovalor Programme aims to promote good environmental practices in educational establishments across the country by rewarding those that perform best in recycling their used packaging. In 2024, 1,408 schools took part, with more than 450,000 participants and 4,700 tonnes collected.
The Toneladas de Ajuda (Tons of Help) campaign aims to valorise the recyclable waste that registered organisations want to hand in, namely plastic, metal, paper, cardboard and glass packaging, in exchange for a financial contribution. In 2024, more than 300 organisations took part.
An Ecoevento is an initiative certified by the entity responsible for the area where it takes place, which encourages good environmental practices and promotes sustainability. Created to promote the separation of recyclable packaging at events such as concerts, festivals, fairs, pilgrimages and football matches, Ecoevento contributes to the selective collection of waste and to raising awareness among participants of the importance of recycling. A total of 373 events were held, with 9.6 million participants, and 501 tonnes of packaging were collected.
The Ecopraias campaign aims to sensitise bathers and shopkeepers to leave their packaging in the recycling bins outside the beaches. In commercial establishments, questions are answered about the correct separation of waste. Monitors visit the beaches and sensitise beachgoers to the importance of separating waste and recycling correctly in order to protect the environment. As a result, this campaign covered 62 beaches with a total of more than 18,000 participants and 624 tonnes of packaging were collected. including 210 tonnes of paper/cardboard, 293 tonnes of glass and 121 tonnes of plastic, metal and drinks packaging.
The Mercado a Reciclar campaign is an innovative initiative aimed at encouraging the separation of recyclables in markets. The aim is to ensure that recyclable waste is properly sent for recycling, avoiding inappropriate disposal, and promoting the valorisation of these materials. For the year 2024 there were 26 participating markets.
Recycle BinGo is an EGF mobile application whose first version was funded by the Ministry of the Environment's Environmental Fund. Its aim is to entertain and educate Portuguese families on the subject of recycling by offering prizes to those who recycle the most. The main mission is for users to visit their usual recycling point, which is located using the geolocation of their smartphone.
Given the nature of EGF's work in the management of systems of treatment and processing of waste by means of 11 concessionary companies in Portugal, the definition and implementation of actions that meet the needs of the municipalities served are discussed by the Consultative Council. This body brings together the representatives of the municipalities, makes a statement on the annual budget, the Audited Accounts and the strategic plan with a view to involving and committing the municipalities to the company´s strategic options, including new locations for installations and strategic options with the aim of meeting the environmental targets and contractual goals [S3-4_15; AR 34 a | S3-4_16; AR 34 b]].
Focused on the commitment to the United Nations 2030 Agenda as well as contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Mota-Engil incorporated the following strategic targets with an impact on the community into its Strategic Plan 2026 [S3-MDR-T_02, §80 b)]:
These targets are applied throughout the Group and in all geographical areas where it operates [S3-MDR-T_04, §80 c)]. Security practices and conflict zones and public health are matters dealt with at a local level and specifically by business units, there being no associated corporate targets. The monitoring of the metric associated with the impact generated by waste management companies in terms of waste collected/transported and processed is stressed.
The targets related to the increase of women in management roles and the promotion of local talent into management roles are directly linked not only to vulnerable groups in the organisation but also the communities affected. Said targets are in line with the commitments assumed in the Human Resources Policy and are set out in the in-house personnel chapter (Chapter 1.4.3.1.II(Targets-Talent Management)) [S3-MDR-T_01, §80 a)].
In accordance with its Integrity and Compliance Programme, Mota-Engil aims to create an impact on the community through its donations as an investment in society, guiding its stakeholders towards impact measurement as a tool for the continuous improvement of its performance, supporting a current trend.
In order to measure the social impact of its CSR activities, in 2023 Mota-Engil set a strategic target related to the number of organisations (non-profit community interest) that benefited from the Group's CSR, with public impact reports or measurements. As mentioned in the 'Policies' section, the Group is in the process of developing a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, to which this target will be related [S3-MDR-T_01, §80 a)]. Although there is not yet a formal policy with specific CSR objectives and commitments, Mota-Engil has a vision of aligning donations with impact creation. The Group has a history of donations to support the community and impact measurement serves as concrete evidence of the results achieved and reflected in the community [S3-MDR-T_01, §80 a)].
The target is expressed relatively [S3-MDR-T_03, §80 b)], as a percentage of the number of organisations measuring the Group's CSR impact and in relation to the total number of organisations benefiting from the Group's CSR [S3-MDR-T_03, §80 b)]. The definition of the target was based on the Group's donation practice and the international trend of impact measurement. This is Mota-Engil's own target and metric [S3-MDR-T_09; §80 f)]. Internal stakeholders were involved in defining the target. The affected communities were not involved in the process and do not yet take part in evaluating the target's performance. Considering that the target was set very recently, lessons learnt have yet to be ascertained [S3.MDR-T_11; §80 h) | S3-5_01; §42 a) | S3-5_02 §42 b) | S3-5_03 §42 c)].

Note 1: the calculation method for the target/metric remained unchanged compared with the previous year [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13 | S3.MDR-T_12; §80 i)], no errors being identified relating to previous periods [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14]. This metric is subject to external verification within the scope of the present report, not being verified by any other entities [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
Note 2: in the calculation of this metric, the following assumptions were considered [MDR-M_02; §77a)]: only donations of a value equal to or greater than 5,000 euros were considered; where there is no evidence it is not considered for the denominator; only entities that submit impact assessment are considered (LI (Level of Impact) = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5); entities with donations greater than 5,000 euros but which fail to submit any evidence (financial statements, activities etc.) are considered LI = 0; entities that submit evidence in December are considered in the following reporting year.
The indicator is evolving modestly although, 2024 being the first year for calculation of this indicator, greater progress is expected resulting from a more proactive management [S1-MDR-T_13, §80 j)].
The following information is included for remission to other parts of the Sustainability Statement:
• More information on the targets relating to females and local recruits in management roles : MDR-T, ESRS 2, §80 – Chapter. 1.4.3.1.ii (Targets – Talent Management)

The total amount of waste collected as a result of the campaigns promoted by EGF results from the sum of the waste collected through the following campaigns: Ecovalor; Ecoeventos; Toneladas de Ajuda; Ecopraias; Mercado a Reciclar; other campaigns. It should be noted that an Eco-event is a one-off initiative, certified by the company responsible for the area where the event takes place, which promotes good environmental practices and sustainability concepts; it takes place in a previously defined space, has a limited duration and stands out as an example of the adoption of appropriate environmental measures [MDR-M_02; §77 a)].
Mota-Engil values its corporate culture as an essential pillar to guarantee the sustainability and resilience of its business model, and is committed to ensuring that it is based on ethics, transparency and responsibility, as principles that guide its actions in all business areas and geographies where it operates. The solidity of these principles reinforces the trust of its stakeholders, from employees to clients, investors and local communities, and is decisive for the Group's long-term reputation and competitiveness. It is recognised that without a clear culture, employees may not be aligned with the company's objectives and values, resulting in a lack of cohesion and direction, leading to situations of misconduct, which can impact both the morale of the people in the workforce [I-], and the organisation - leading to the risk of loss of productivity, additional costs, impact on clients, loss of talent, reputation, failure to meet objectives and targets, especially in unplanned contexts (internal or external) of change [R]. Leadership in this area plays a very important role, in particular the top management of the Organisation, by providing the necessary resources for the implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of the Integrity and Compliance Programme, by guaranteeing independence and non-interference in the Compliance function, in order to ensure that this basic programme achieves its mission [R] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_02; §48 a].
The risk of corruption and bribery in its own activities was identified as financially material, given that, as part of its business model, the Group operates in various geographies around the world where, in some cases, local legislation has different requirements and, despite existing policies, programmes and mechanisms to identify and mitigate this risk, these phenomena may occur and have associated financial effects [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
Mota-Engil places great importance on compliance with international best practices, ensuring that integrity and regulatory compliance are indissociable from its strategy. This risk is part of the Group's decision-making in its various business areas, value chain (e.g. via due diligence processes) and internal strategic priorities, where the compliance culture and programme play a fundamental role. The Group has a preventive approach, fostering dissemination of a culture of integrity that protects its interests and those of its partners. This commitment is reflected in the requirement for ethical standards in its operations and the adoption of mechanisms that boost the trust of the market and regulatory bodies, as well as expressing itself in the robustness of its whistleblowing channel, a key tool for ensuring that irregularities can be reported safely and confidentially. Mota-Engil places great importance on whistleblower protection, recognising that employees and stakeholders can lose trust in the Group if reports are not treated appropriately or if whistleblowers are not duly protected [I-]. It is therefore essential for the Group's transparency and continual improvement to ensure an environment where people feel safe to report their concerns [SBM-3_01; §48 a | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
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].
Mota-Engil Group challenges both its internal and external stakeholders to adopt ethical and sustainable behaviour, guaranteeing full compliance with the most demanding norms and the legal and ethical frameworks of the markets where it operates. It seeks to go beyond legal compliance, following norms, regulations and best practices, both national and international, and acting with a sense of responsibility and business ethics based on the values of integrity, social responsibility and sustainability [G1.MDR-P_04, §65]. In this context, the Group's corporate culture is established and developed through the Board-approved Strategic Plan and complemented by a set of codes, policies and service orders [G1-1_01, §9]. Included among these are the transversally applied Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, Whistleblowing and Non-Retaliation Policy, Human Rights Policy, Harassment and Discrimination Policy, Gender Equality Plan, Anti-Corruption and Bribery, Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Policy and the SHEQ Policy – Safety, Health, Environment and Quality. In the context of suppliers, the list also includes the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct.
Mota-Engil seeks to go beyond legal compliance, following norms, regulations and best practices, both national and international, and acting with a sense of responsibility and business ethics based on the values of integrity, social responsibility and sustainability.
Working together, the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, senior managers and operational managers guide and support their teams in safeguarding the Group's good name and reputation. It should be noted that, since 2018, Mota-Engil has had a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), who reports to the Executive Committee. He also reports to an independent director, who is responsible for validating the procedures applicable to the compliance system and validating any future changes that may be proposed, which must always be approved by the Board of Directors.

The Mota-Engil Group ensures that all employees receive adequate training – at least once every quarter – on the principles and directives established in the documents related to business conduct via in-person and/or online sessions [G1-1_10, §10g)].
The following information is inserted by reference to other parts of the sustainability statement:
Aware of its role in society, Mota-Engil Group has been continuously developing its Integrity and Compliance Programme (ICP). n its construction supported by the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and in its structure, made up of Transversal Policies and Procedures, a reinforced governance model and a programme of continuous improvement and training/awareness-raising that covers employees and stakeholders. The Group challenges its internal and external stakeholders to adopt ethical and sustainable behaviour in full compliance with its rules and the most demanding legal and ethical frameworks in the markets where it operates.
The goals of the Integrity and Compliance Programme are to:
With the aim of establishing the basis for responsible behaviour, as well as defining duties and general rules of ethics and business conduct that should govern the attitude and performance of all Employees, Group managers and other Stakeholders, the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was developed.
This document summarises the Group's most important principles and policies and should be interpreted in conjunction with the other internal documents defined, as well as local laws and regulations, with the purpose of fulfilling Mota-Engil's mission - 'Our Legacy inspires and commits us to building a better world' - and its values.

Based on the standards of ethics and conduct set out in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Group drew up a Human Rights Policy in 2024 that reflects its permanent commitment to and respect for people and the planet.
This Policy reflects the Group's commitment to promoting and respecting human rights in all its operations throughout the global value chain and to promoting transparency and alignment with international standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises [G1.MDR-P_05; §65 e]. With approval of this policy, pre-existing practices were consolidated and structured in a clear and accessible way for all employees and stakeholders, and are subject to continual improvement.
The Human Rights Policy was informed by internal and external expertise. The methodology used to develop this policy was based on in-depth analysis of relevant internal documents, policies and contracts, as well as international standards in the business and human rights domain. The approach adopted followed the recommendations of the UN Global Compact Guide for Enterprises on How to Develop a Human Rights Policy [G1.MDR-P_04, §65 d]. Internal and external stakeholders from different regions and sectors were consulted by interview to include their perspectives and expectations and to map the most salient risks and priorities with regard to human rights [G1.MDR-P_05; §65 e].
It should be noted that the Mota-Engil Group has a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, child labour, human trafficking and unfair discrimination. The Human Rights Policy is monitored by assessing the risk associated with human rights, implementing whistleblowing and remediation mechanisms and developing action plans to mitigate the risks identified. In addition, the Group conducts internal audits and training to ensure compliance [G1.MDR-P_01, §65].

Aligned with the Human Rights Policy and as a reflection of the Group's purpose and its strategic goals, also mentioned is the promotion of the right to gender equality (Chapter 1.4.3.1.II (Policies – Talent Management)) and a workplace free of harassment, discrimination and intimidation through the Harassment and Discrimination Policy (Chapter 1.4.3.1.II (Policies – Talent Management)). The promotion of a culture of safety, health, environment and quality, consolidated in the SHEQ Policy (Chapter 1.4.4.3. (Policies)), and a compliance culture (see following section) are also essential aspects of the Group's identity and actions.
Mota-Engil Group has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards acts of corruption, bribery, money laundering and terrorism funding, as set out in the Anti-Corruption and Bribery, Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Policy [G1-3_01, §16]. These acts, whether direct or through third parties, are strictly forbidden. In addition to defining this Policy, the Group boosted its ICP, publishing and divulging the Supplier Conduct Code (Chapter 1.4.4.1.II (Policies)) and requiring commitment, in the third-party onboarding process, to the Policy and ICP. The latter contains additional procedures to prevent fraud with regard to cash, donations and gifts.
The Compliance department, coordinated by the head of Regulatory Compliance, develops and implements an awareness and training programme, mandatory for all employees, that addresses Portuguese legal requirements with regard to combatting corruption. The Anti-Corruption and Bribery, Prevention of Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Policy is regularly reviewed and updated, and is always available on the Group's online training platform. Finally, local training is provided that is adapted to the context of each market. It is implemented by the corporate team, by the head of Compliance in each company or as part of multidisciplinary training programmes [G1-3_05, §20 | G1-3_06, §21a]. Training for the Board is also periodically held [G1-3_08, §21c]. See the "Targets and metrics" section for data on the percentage of risk functions covered by training programmes.

To ensure compliance with Mota-Engil's different directives, the Group trusts its employees and other stakeholders – such as affected communities, suppliers and others – to report breaches or possible breaches of the Code, allowing the company to adopt the appropriate measures to investigate and remediate situations, when necessary. The Whistleblowing Channel is the exclusive and confidential mechanism for safe reporting of irregularities and/or unlawful actions [G1.MDR-P_01, §65]. When legislation requires reporting through local channels, reports are automatically and simultaneously sent (whenever legally feasible) to the Group's Ethics Channel.
To ensure protection against retaliatory action of any kind towards employees or other stakeholders who show concerns, ask questions, report, participate in an investigation or refuse to take part in suspicious activities, whether improper or unlawful, Mota-Engil Group drew up a Whistleblowing and Non-Retaliation Policy [G1-1_06, §10d].
Complying with legal requirements under national legislation transposed by EU Directive (EU) 2019/1937, the Group guarantees the exhaustiveness, integrity and conservation of reports presented and also the confidentiality of the identity of whistleblowers or any third parties mentioned [G1-1_12, §11]. The Policy prohibits retaliation and specifies how the whistleblower must proceed. The team responsible for the Whistleblower Channel is equipped to limit access to information during every stage of the investigation, ensuring the whistleblower does not suffer retaliation [G1-1_05 §10c]. Moreover, the team assures the whistleblower is provided with a fast response and is updated about how the case is developing [G1- 1_05 | G1-1_13, §10c]. The Group also guarantees that all employees have access to information and training on this process [G1-1_05 | G1-1_14 §10c].

The Whistleblowing Channel also deals with allegations of corruption and bribery [G1-1_08, §10e]. In these cases, the corporate Legal Affairs and Internal Audit teams are involved, in compliance with the Portuguese and European legal framework, namely the UN Convention against Corruption, ensuring the protection of whistleblowers and the confidentiality and protection of the alleged dishonest actors [G1-1_02, §10a | G1-1_03, §10b | G1-3_01, §18a]. It is important to note that investigators and the committee of inquiry can be hired externally, but that they are not disconnected from the management chain involved in preventing and detecting corruption and bribery [G1-3_02, §18b]. Corporate Internal Audit is responsible for running the Whistleblowing Hotline. Moreover, this area produces periodic reports on the Hotline's functioning, as well as other reports covering its full scope. This information is presented to the Executive Board and the Board of Directors' Risk and Internal Audit Committee [G1-3_03, §18c]. It should be stressed that the heads of sales and procurement are those most exposed to the risk of corruption and bribery [G1-1_11, §10h].
To promote responsible business conduct, Mota-Engil employs various mechanisms and internal actions. It regularly identifies, analyses and assesses the risks the Group is exposed to, a process which supports the updating of the action plan on implementing effective measures and controls to mitigate these risks. The set of measures and controls to prevent, monitor and remediate risks is also part of Mota-Engil's Integrity and Compliance Programme.
In a joint exercise, the Board of Directors, Executive Board, senior managers and operational managers guide and support their teams in safeguarding the Group's good name and reputation.
In 2024, the following actions stand out.

It should be noted that the Group's various programmes are based on continuous improvement. The initiatives in the table above therefore reflect the programme's evolution during 2024 [G1.MDR-A_05, §68e].
It should be noted that in 2024 a confirmed case of corruption by suppliers to 'blue collar' employees was identified in one of the Group's operations in Kenya. The Mota-Engil Group, in its commitment not to tolerate acts of corruption and/or bribery, implemented three actions in the Kenyan market during this reporting year: mitigation of risks of repetition; recovery of amounts; and dismissal of those involved. In 2024, with regard to the mitigation of repetition risks, the controls that were not yet active in the processes supporting the operation were made effective as a result of internal audits. In addition, the natural reduction of the structure in the market, combined with the horizontal reduction of the management structure as a result of the conclusion of construction activities, resulted in a strengthening of control. Efforts were also made to demand reimbursement of the amounts involved in the fraudulent schemes from suppliers, with a view to recovering the amounts. In addition, measures were taken to dismiss the employees involved with just cause, most of whom chose to leave the company unilaterally. As activities planned for the future, the Mota-Engil Group will continue to implement actions to mitigate the risks of repetition of corruption and/or bribery, reinforced in the affected market. In addition, the case is still being investigated by the local authorities [G1.MDR-A_04, §68d] | [G1-4_03, §24b)].
The measures do not require significant capital (CapEx) or operating expenditure (OpEx) compared to the total for the Group (intangible) [G1.MDR-A_09, §69b]/ [G1.MDR-A_11, §69c] [G1.MDR-A_10, §69b | G1.MDR-A_12, §69c | [G1.MDR-A_07, §69b]. Spending is predicted to continue, but without any association with green bonds or equivalents. It does not depend on public policies or other conditions. [G1.MDR-A_06, §69a | G1.MDR-A_06, §69a].
TARGETS AND METRICS [G1-3, G1-4, G1-5, MDR-T, MDR-M]
As mentioned, the Group is committed to conducting business with integrity and to engaging with its stakeholders and establishing relations with its counterparts legally, ethically and transparently. Besides Mota-Engil's legal obligations – to reply to whistleblowing reports within the timeframe indicated and for which it ensures their monitoring and full compliance annually – it has no set general targets for cases of corruption, bribery or political engagement, as they are context-dependent. However, the metrics are continually assessed to identify and assess where improvements can be made, year after year. [MDR-T_14; §81 a | MDR-T_15; §81 a | MDR-T_17; §81 b i].
Percentage of functions at risk covered by training programmes on the prevention and detection of corruption and bribery
| Functions-at-risk covered by training programmes [G1-3_07; §21 b)] | Unit | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of functions-at-risk covered by training programmes | % | 73.50% |
See "Policies" and "Actions" sections for information about the framework for these training programmes.
The methodology used to calculate this percentage is as follows: (i) gathering of data on employee attendance in classroom training sessions whenever the theme of corruption or bribery is on the agenda; (ii) gathering of system data (Success Factors) about all action taken on corruption and bribery; (iii) identification of the macrofunctions of employees participating in training; (iv) exclusion of employees whose macrofunctions are not classed as "at risk"; (v) identification of the total no. of employees, by 31/12/2024, whose macrofunctions are classed as "at risk", based on the centralised data of all Group employees [G1-3.MDR-M_02, §77a)]. The data source used for this calculation is based on the HR Department's list of Success Factors covering the Business Development, Finance & Control and Technical-Commercial macrofunctions, consolidated in the GPS coordinates in Power BI. It is important to note that this metric is not validated by an external entity [G1-3.MDR-M_03, §77b)].
Bearing in mind that employee macrofunctions are not recorded in classroom training, these trainees could not be included. The final percentage can, however, be calculated by default for all cases in which an employee has taken classroom training but not on the success factors [G1-3.MDR-M_02, §77a)].

Methodological notes
See "Policies" section for information about the framework on the functioning of the whistleblowing channel.
It should be noted that 94 % is the percentage of unsubstantiated complaints, which is the opposite of substantiated complaints, which in 2024 accounted for around 4%.
In 2024, the top 5 categories of whistleblowing reports received on the ethics channel included: harassment, irregular behaviour by employees, violation of environmental rules, discrimination, and internal conflicts of interest/corruption.
Of the 284 reports received in 2024, 94% were unsubstantiated. If the substance of the report is confirmed after the investigation process, the necessary corrective and/or disciplinary measures are taken.
Information collected via the irregularities channel and regularly audited internally [G1-4.MDR-M_02, §77a)] [G1-4.MDR-M_03, §77b)].
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 issues addressed, which can involve these contacts, are particularly related to renewable energy policies and investment, waste and resource management, environmental sustainability (reduction in carbon emissions/carbon capture), urban mobility policies, infrastructure and investment plans, use of EU financing opportunities, participation in the future PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) framework and initiatives tied to multilateral financing and the European Central Bank [G1-5_09, §29c)].
It should be mentioned that the Mota-Engil Group does not contribute to any political parties.
Mota-Engil currently has an extensive network of local and international suppliers.
Operating in several geographies, some of which are recognised as geographies with a lot of poverty, the Group identifies the positive impacts as material and the strengthening of the network of local suppliers as an opportunity for Mota-Engil itself, promoting social development, shortening value chains and increasing the organisation's good reputation [I+] [O] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | [SBM-3_02; §48 a] | SBM-3_05; §48 c ii | SBM-3_07; §48 c iv].
As a material risk, it is recognised that failure to integrate ESG criteria into the assessment of the company's value chain can lead to environmental, social and governance risks, including potential damage to reputation and loss of stakeholder confidence [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
With regard to payment practices to suppliers, the double materiality analysis made it possible to identify as material the delays in payments to suppliers, especially to SMEs, with potential impacts on the cash management/financial sustainability of these companies and the consequent risk of losing suppliers to Mota-Engil [I-] [R] [SBM-3_01; §48 a | [SBM-3_02; §48 a | [SBM-3_05; §48 c ii].
Mota-Engil's Procurement & Logistics area is currently governed by a governance model based on a global services structure, with the aggregation of corporate functions with a view to ensuring the standardisation of policies and the transversality of processes at Group level, as well as synergy with other functional areas and local services and the monitoring of performance, efficiency and profitability of markets/business areas.
Comprising one of the Group's strategic focuses, supplier chain management is prioritised through a continual commitment to more efficient and integrated processes.
The Group's Procurement and Logistics Policy sets out the principles guiding the management and organisation of procurement and logistics activities and in 2024 introduced a Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct [MDR-P_01; §65 a].
The Procurement and Logistics Policy, among other aspects, is designed to increase the volume of local procurement with benefits in terms of proximity, speed, availability, reduced carbon footprint and lower stocks, etc [MDR-P_01; §65 a].
Therefore, the Mota-Engil Group is committed to promoting responsible business conduct among its suppliers – fostering ethical, legal, environmental and social responsibility. The social and environmental norms and practices described in the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct is based on the Ten Principles of the UN Global Pact, the International Bill of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinationals on Responsible Business Conduct [MDR-P_04; §65 d]. Also of note is the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Model Law on Public Procurement due to the Group's commitment to the principles of transparency, efficiency and integrity in its procurement operations [MDR-P_04; §65 d]. Inclusion of this benchmark is intended to help align supplier practices with recognised international standards, fostering a culture of responsibility and good practices.
Mota-Engil Group's general payment policy is aligned with general procurement conditions. The standard payment period varies from 30 to 120 days [G1-6_02; §33 b]. However, there are specific exceptions that may change this, namely:
• Individual agreements with suppliers, adjusted to the particularities of contracts or partnerships;
Payment practices are mostly global and standardised, and they are followed in all Mota-Engil Group geographies. However, there are regional particularities in certain locations, including:
Payments are mainly processed using SAP software with parametrised data. This mechanism ensures payments take the contractual conditions defined into consideration, bolstering Mota-Engil's commitment to good practices and transparency.
The Group is unaware of any lawsuits related to lack of or late payment by Mota-Engil [G1-6_04, §33 c)].

In defining the aforementioned Policy and Code, the interests of the main internal stakeholders were taken into account, bearing in mind different contributions, such as those gathered via internal audits. However, legal requirements frequently requested during external audits and surveys of different kinds were also considered [MDR-P_05; §65 e].
The Procurement and Logistics Policy is monitored through indicators applied transversally, centrally and on a monthly basis through the budgetary purchase index, the ratio of purchases without a cost price, the ratio of local purchases and the formalisation index. Operational activity control indicators are also used with local monitoring, such as the ratio of pending requisitions, order execution lead times and order delivery lead times. The Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct will be monitored through the number of suppliers selected/evaluated on the basis of ESG criteria [MDR-P_01; §65 a].
It should be noted that the Mota-Engil Group is updating the supplier selection process with three aspects in mind – integrity (and compliance with applicable laws), financial and ESG – to ensure a transparent and equitable acquisition or integration process [G1-2_03; §15 b)].
To monitor the performance of its suppliers, the Group adopts specific criteria, such as responsiveness and adaptation, quality of work, post-receipt assistance, compliance with deadlines, environmental and risk prevention concerns, technical capacity, relationship with the structure and financial performance, among others. At the end of the assessment cycle, suppliers will be informed of the criteria defined in order to develop action plans, with a focus on continuous improvement of the process, demonstrating the Mota-Engil Group's commitment to participating in the sustainable development of its business partners. [G1-2_03; §15 b)].
These processes are being re-evaluated in the Mota-Engil Group's Third Party Procedures (KYS - Know Your Supplier) and Supplier Management and are supported by the Group's tool for assessing Integrity (Chapter. XX) - Diligent Third Party and a new platform that is being implemented, which will enable the inclusion of ESG criteria in supplier management processes (see next section - 'Actions and resources') [G1-2_03; §15 b)].
It is also recommended that suppliers carry out regular self-assessments of their compliance with the Code, as well as report any deviations or challenges in adhering to its principles and collaborate promptly with the Mota-Engil Group in audit and review initiatives, when requested. They will respond to enquiries and requests for information within a reasonable time and in accordance with the formalities specified by the applicable data protection laws [G1-2_03; §15 b)].
To better understand and manage the risks associated with the supplier chain, as well as influence its suppliers in adopting practices promoting responsible business conduct, in accordance with commitments assumed by Mota-Engil and the applicable legislation, various actions are underway (see table).
The implementation of these actions does not require significant (current or future) capital or operational expenditure (CapEx/OpEx) [MDR-A_09; §69 b up to MDR-A_12; §69 c] and essentially involves the development of documents and definition of processes, the allocation and empowerment of employees, and the use of tools to assess and monitor ESG risks.
It should be noted that the Supplier Management Procedure has been revised/updated and implemented in phases since 2023 in order to bolster the integration of ESG criteria into the supplier selection and assessment processes. Two important milestones in 2024 were the publication of the Supplier Code of Ethics and Conduct and the transversal operationalisation of the procedure in the three regions of the E&C Business Unit, with special focus on strategic source suppliers 7 (see the 'Policies' section) [MDR-A_01; §68 a) | MDR-A_05; §68 e)]. This work has been undertaken in partnership by Mota-Engil's Procurement, Compliance, Sustainability and Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ) corporate areas, which has allowed alignment of key principles, guidelines and criteria to be applied.

7 Strategic source suppliers are those that provide materials, products or services, identified in the Organisation as 'Core Categories' and/or 'Strategic Trading', and which leverage economies of scale and allow for the diversification of funding sources, reinforcing the Group's Strategy.
Mota-Engil has set a target associated with boosting local trade that aims to enhance the development and growth of the local economy [MDR-T_01; §80 a)]. This target is focused upstream of the value chain [MDR-T_04; §80 c)] and impacts on suppliers and, indirectly, on the respective local communities. Another aim is to consolidate the markets where Mota-Engil is established and to bolster emerging markets.
By prioritising the purchasing of local products and services, in addition to supporting small producers and local companies, the Group also fosters job creation, stimulates local innovation and boosts long-term partnerships with regional stakeholders. The aim to increase local procurement is also directly related to the selection and integration of local suppliers in the initial stages of the production process. By prioritising the acquisition of raw materials, products and services from regional suppliers, the Group reduces the dependence of distant supply chains and contributes to lowering the environmental impacts associated with long-distance transportation and logistics [MDR-T_01; §80 a)].
The target is expressed in relative terms [MDR-T_03; §80 b)] as a percentage of the ratio of the total value of local procurement to the total value of procurement in a certain period. [MDR-T_02; §80 b)]. Initially developed just for the African market, the target is currently applicable to the E&C business unit in all geographies where Mota-Engil operates [MDR-T_04; §80 c)].
Determining this target involved the participation of internal stakeholders from the Group's procurement department [MDR-T_11; §80 h)] and was set based on the internal track record [MDR-T_09; §80 f)]. Targets are also set by geography and an analysis of consolidated value [MDR-T_08; §80 e)]
The performance analysis is done annually and revised, if necessary and/or applicable, based on the values obtained [MDR-T_07; §80 e) | [MDR-T_09; §80 f)].
To accompany the performance relating to the set target, Mota-Engil Group uses the percentage of local purchases as a metric [MDR-M_01; §75]. This metric was set based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), 204-1 – Proportion of spending on local suppliers [MDR-M_01; §75]. By "local" spending is understood purchases made in the country where the material and/or service is applied and/or incorporated into projects in that country. This metric is subject to external verification within the scope of this report and is not verified by other entities [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].

Associated metric | Performance 2024 | Target value for 2025 |

| To raise local E&C procurement | Africa 64% (2023) | Volume of procurement from local suppliers |
Africa 61% (2024) | Africa > 80% |
| Consolidated 87% (2023) | Consolidated 82% (2024) | Consolidated > 90% |
It should be stressed that the target was updated in 2024. However, the value calculated on a consolidated basis for 2024 diverges from the results intended, influenced by the type of projects undertaken in the African market [MDR-T_13; §80 j]
Responding to the need to incorporate ESG criteria into the assessment of its value chain, in 2025 Mota-Engil plans to set new targets associated with the percentage of suppliers selected using ESG criteria [MDR-T_14; §81 a].
To respond to current and future environmental, economic and social needs, Mota-Engil reacts to market opportunities and threats, optimising the use of capital and making its businesses more competitive, efficient and environmentally and socially responsible [I+]. Innovation, therefore, is one of the ways to ensure and boost profitability, raise the efficiency of its processes and present innovative solutions to the Group and other stakeholders [I+], creating value internally and externally [I+] [O].
Mota-Engil Next (MEXT) is a sub-holding of Mota-Engil Group created in late 2022 as part of the Strategic Plan 2022– 2026 and aimed at leading the innovation commitments set out in its Strategic Axis "A New Direction in Sustainability and Innovation".
MEXT assumes a strategic leadership role in innovation within Mota-Engil, not just driving and increasing innovation processes and initiatives but also boosting, restructuring, managing and consolidating the Group's investment in innovation.
MEXT's Innovation and Transformation strategy is based on four main axes aligned with Mota-Engil's strategic pillars:
To achieve its goals, MEXT leverages collaboration within the Group – between companies and employees – and with external entities, including universities, startups, and participation in clusters, with the purpose of "Inspiring, challenging and empowering everyone to engage their creativity and knowledge, through collaboration, to build the Mota-Engil of the Future and a Better World". Oriented towards fulfilling its purpose, MEXT is organised into five corporate areas:
The Transformation, Innovation and Communication departments aim, as a whole, to be facilitators of efficiency and innovation within the Group, operating across all business areas and geographies where Mota-Engil is present.
As a sub-holding, MEXT has executive responsibility over a number of subsidiaries in different areas, such as:
• Real estate, via Emerge – which develops projects in Portugal and is dedicated to developing and appreciating assets by integrating new construction strategies and technologies which allow it to achieve innovative, sustainable and attractive real estate solutions that add value for stakeholders, namely employees, partners and clients [O];
IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES MANAGEMENT Policies [MDR-P]
The area of innovation at Mota-Engil has been reorganised, following its inclusion in the 'New direction in Sustainability and Innovation' axis of the "BUILDING 26 | For a sustainable future" strategy (Chapter 1.2.2), as a key element for achieving superior performance in the Group and for strengthening the business portfolio. Mota-Engil's Innovation Policy is currently under development, with implementation scheduled for 2025 [MDR-P_07; §62; MDR-P_08; §62].
[MDR-A]
MEXT is committed to innovation as a driver of growth and competitiveness, with the aim of developing a structured policy that guides its strategy in this area. In order to promote innovation within the Group, MEXT is developing various initiatives, as shown in the table. Among the actions, MEXT encourages internal collaboration and the creation of differentiating solutions. It also invests in the area of innovation by supporting start-ups, promoting new ideas and technologies with the potential to add value to the business. At the same time, it promotes training activities to foster a culture of innovation among employees and encourage the development of essential skills for the Group's transformation and evolution [MDR-A_01; §68 a)].
The actions do not involve significant capital expenditure (CapEx) [MDR-A_09; §69 b | MDR-A_11; §69 c], but they do require operational spending (OpEx), namely €0.845M in financial resources in 2024 [MDR-A_10; §69 b] and €0.852M in planned spending in 2025 [MDR-A_12; §69 c]. This information is associated with MEXT's various cost centres [MDR-A_07; §69 b].
The resources allocated to the planned measures will be sourced internally [MDR-A_06; §69 a]. The ability to carry out these actions does not depend on specific preconditions, such as financial support or market developments [MDR-A_06; §69 a].

Note: No negative material impacts associated with innovation, only positive ones and opportunities, were identified. No remedial measures were therefore identified [MDR-A_04; §68 d].
The ConTech Call was an open innovation initiative promoted by MEXT, aimed at the entire global innovation ecosystem, with the aim of identifying and supporting innovative and disruptive technological solutions for modernising the construction sector.
The programme received 67 applications from more than 20 countries, including startups, scaleups, spinoffs, research centres and universities. After a careful evaluation process, five solutions with high application potential were selected, based on their degree of innovation, business viability, strategic alignment with Mota-Engil and the credibility of the founding team.
We are currently working directly with each of the startups selected to enable the implementation of pilot projects in Mota-Engil's markets, with a view to validating their solutions in a real environment and their possible adoption in the long term.
MEXT: Mota-Engil Next, has made a strategic investment in Volis.AI, a leader in data science and artificial intelligencebased solutions. Volis stands out for its focus on the design and implementation of integrated systems that combine hardware, software and communication technologies, as well as providing technological consultancy services.
This investment reinforces MEXT's commitment to innovation, enabling Volis.AI to expand its solutions and guaranteeing continuous access to future platforms, technological developments and solutions that allow us to make quick and informed decisions. MEXT has made a financial investment in MB2Solar, a company focused on maximising the profitability of large-scale solar plants by integrating battery storage solutions without the need for initial investment.
MB2Solar enables independent power producers (IPPs) to access all electricity markets and associated revenue streams. In 2024, the company raised 750,000 euros through a convertible loan and is currently preparing for a new round of funding and financing for batteries. For 2025, MB2Solar plans to implement four projects in Austria and has applied to the European LIFE programme, with the potential to obtain 460,000 euros in grants. It is also negotiating with banks to secure additional funding for energy storage projects and expects to generate its first revenues in the first quarter of 2025.
[MDR-T; MDR-M]
The Mota-Engil Group, within the scope of the 'Building 26 for a Sustainable Future' Strategy, has established as a strategic objective/goal the commitment to allocate 25 million euros (cumulative absolute value, for the period 2022 to 2026 [MDR-T_03; §80 b], [MDR-T_07; §80 e] to innovation [MDR-T_02; §80 b]. This applies to all Group companies in the different geographies where it operates [MDR-T_04; §80 c].
The determination of the 'Cumulative Investment in Innovation 2022-2026' involved the participation of internal stakeholders, namely the members of the Board of Directors and the heads of the respective areas [MDR-T_11; §80 h]. The methodologies and assumptions used to define the 'Accumulated Investment in Innovation 2022-2026' target are based on a strategic and collaborative approach, where innovation is driven by the individual contributions of each Mota-Engil Group company. Although there is no specific budget dedicated to this purpose, the sum of the collective efforts will contribute to achieving the defined goal. A comparative analysis confirmed that the target set for the Engineering and Construction business scope is in line with the practices adopted in the sector [MDR-T_09; §80 f].
To monitor the performance and effectiveness of the target, Mota-Engil developed the metric, value of investment in innovation in millions of euros [MDR-M_01; §75] referring to its own operations. This is monitored through the Group's existing ESG platform. Currently, the methodology for this metric has some limitations, namely the impossibility of collecting data from all the Group's companies, although it is considered that the greatest contributions to the metric are being reported. Mota-Engil is currently developing a common definition for innovation projects to ensure harmonised reporting. Until this is formalised, the screening of what is or is not considered innovation - and therefore included in the investment reported for the target - is carried out by the MEXT team [MDR-M_02; §77a].

Note 1: Since the target value for the 2022–2026 period is cumulative, no benchmark value was considered.
Note 2: the method of calculation for the metric is unchanged from the preceding year [BP-2_10 a BP-2_12; §13], with no errors relating to previous periods identified [BP-2_13 a BP-2_15; §14]. This metric is subject to external verification with regard to this report and is not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)].
Cumulative investment in innovation in 2024 increased compared to the previous year. Although the target has no intermediate milestones defined [MDR-T_08; §80 e] and despite the evolution that has taken place over the last two years, this figure remains below the target value for 2026 [MDR-T_13; §80 j]. The calculation of this value has undergone continuous methodological improvements, with more and more companies being included in the scope of reporting.
The Group aims to prioritise the supply of high quality products and services that meet the applicable contractual, regulatory and legal conditions, maintaining strict environmental and safety standards and thus generating value for customers while protecting the well-being of employees, communities and end users of the infrastructure.
Good management of customer satisfaction and compliance with legal, contractual and other requirements is essential to ensure acceptance of the product/service, to avoid the risks of economic loss and competitiveness for the Group including penalties or fines, dissatisfaction and loss of customer confidence, business and commercial eligibility, as well as reputational damage [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
In this context, obtaining and maintaining certification of the integrated management system, at the level of the Group and its companies in the different geographies and business units, is essential to avoid the risks mentioned and promote continuous improvement. In particular, failure to carry out the annual system review and deal with the findings by the Group's companies could limit the improvement of products or services, lead to a loss of efficiency and effectiveness in processes, the repetition of non-conformities and the aforementioned losses [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
Since 2019, the Group has been working on an integrated quality, environment and occupational health and safety management system, its harmonisation among the Group's various companies - covering the different geographies where it operates and business units - and its global certification, in accordance with international reference standards, namely ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety).
Although, individually, there are still some Mota-Engil companies with management systems implemented and certified - according to ISO standards and other benchmarks, the Group has been investing since 2019 in the development of this new integrated global management system, reinforcing the alignment of all the Group's companies with the policies and strategy of Mota-Engil SGPS and which has been translated into the strategic objective of Global Certification. It should be emphasised that the implementation of this global certification system has several associated benefits for Mota-Engil, including:
Policies
[MDR-P]
The Mota-Engil Group has a SHEQ Policy - Safety, Health, Environment and Quality, which establishes the main commitments and principles in terms of safety, health, environment and quality [MDR-P_01; §65 a] and which complies with the requirements of ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) [MDR-P_04; §65 d)] and the good practices identified in each of these areas. We emphasise the following commitments defined in the Policy [MDR-P_01; §65 a]:
| Document | SHEQ Policy - Safety, Health, Environment and Quality |
|---|---|
| Key contents and objectives [MDR-P_01; §65 a] |
Establishes the guidelines fostering integration of the Mota-Engil Management System, based on the following premises: • Alignment with the Mota-Engil Strategic Plan; • Action within the area of sustainability; • Global Group-wide application; • Integration of the SHEQ management systems; • Efficiency of the organisation. |
| Scope [MDR-P_02; §65 b] |
It is aimed at own operations and applies to all the Group's business units, markets, companies, projects and contracts, with an upstream and downstream impact on the value chain. |

Internal departments of Mota-Engil (SHEQ) were involved in setting the Policy. It should be noted that in 2023 the Policy was revised to take into account the needs of the integrated system and ESG trends valued by the various stakeholders, in which internal departments of Mota-Engil (SHEQ) also took part [MDR-P_05; §65 e)].
The Policy is monitored by the SHEQ Committee through the follow-up of indicators and objectives, the level of customer satisfaction, audit results and the analysis of trends and patterns in findings and incidents. [MDR-P_01; §65 a]. Globally, progress is monitored through certified turnover (see Targets and Metrics section) [MDR-P_01; §65 a].
To ensure the integrated management system is implemented, monitored, continually improved and recognised by an external body, Mota-Engil has developed a process of corporate certification. This has evolved into a single transversal model across the Group's various companies, fostering globalised practices while also absorbing the specificities and requirements of each region where the Group operates.
Therefore, the Group is pursuing various actions (see table) aimed at recertifying the integrated management system and broadening its scope – in terms of business areas and geographies – allowing associated material risks to be mitigated. These actions contribute to the corporate-level strategic goal of 100% of turnover being covered by SHEQ global certification (ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001) by 2026 (see following "Targets and Metrics" section). In 2024, all active waste management companies worldwide were included, as envisaged in the intermediate aim of global certification for 2024.
It should be mentioned that the implementation of these actions does not require significant (current and future) capital or operational spending (CapEx/OpEx) [MDR-A_06; §69 a)].
The integrated SHEQ management system implemented in the global certification is based on adopting regulations/standards, on best practices for the industry/sectors where the Group operates, and on global dissemination of the good practices identified internally between the Group's companies. The integrated system is expressed at the corporate level through support and operational processes that establish strategic policies and goals, which are then detailed in the supporting document, including specific procedures and manuals. At the Project and Contracts level, located in every business unit and geography, Method Statements and SHEQ Management Plans have been drawn up [MDR-A_01; §68 a) |MDR-A_05; §68 e)].
The Group has been working on harmonising and extending the product and service quality plans between its business units. This process is led by the Corporate SHEQ department with the assistance of the heads of each back-up process and business unit [MDR-A_01; §68 a) | MDR-A_05; §68 e)].
The internal audit programme – a crucial activity for monitoring the integrated management system and preparing the external certification audits – comprising a group of experienced internal auditors (specifically trained to increase not only their knowledge of best practices but also to have a solid understanding of the Group's operations) has also been improved based on the Group's various reporting requirements [MDR-A_01; §68 a) | MDR-A_05; §68 e)].
Also highlighted is the continual investment in training, technology and innovation aimed at honing the quality of construction projects, the products and services provided, and environmental and safety performance [MDR-A_01; §68 a | MDR-A_05; §68 e)].

Note: No negative material impacts on the material theme were identified, only risks. No remedial measures are therefore identified [MDR-A_04; §68 d].
In line with the "Building 26 for a Sustainable Future" strategy, resulting from the first double materiality exercise conducted and in line with the SHEQ Policy, Mota-Engil defined the goal/strategic target of achieving global certification – quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001) – at Group level by 2026 [MDR-T_01; §80 a]. The target was set in 2023 by Mota-Engil senior management with input from internal stakeholders [MDR-T_11; §80 h)]. No changes were made to the target [MDR-T_12; §80 i)].
The target was set due to the need to ensure greater commercial eligibility, competitiveness, recognition and management practices, and to mitigate risks and bigger control operations with relevant turnovers. [MDR-T_09; §80 f)]. It is aimed at Mota-Engil's own operations but also influences its value chain, namely via: more thorough criteria in selecting suppliers and partners; stimulating certification of these suppliers and partners; and lowering operational risks [MDR-T_04; § 80 c].
This is expressed in relative terms as a percentage of certified turnover [MDR-T_03; §80 b)]. For the purposes of this calculation, the turnover of eligible companies – i.e. those that are operational, have workers, are considered strategic by the Executive Board and need certification for commercial purposes – was compared to total Group turnover [MDR-T_09; §80 f); MDR-M_02; §77 a].
In 2024, this improved significantly (20 pp.), with certified turnover of 97%, covered by a single integrated global certification. Of note was the important milestone of extending certification to the Environment business area in Portugal and Brazil during this reporting period [MDR-T_13; §80 j)].

Complementing the strategic goal/target, global quality goals and KPIs are also monitored, especially [MDR-M_01, §75]:
The reference values for the various targets are set by benchmarking. As an additional note, client satisfaction data is gathered by surveys, letters or emails, phone calls, complaints, etc. [MDR-T_09; §80 f); MDR-M_02; §77 a].
The targets shown in the table below are expressed in relative terms and are calculated as follows [MDR-T_03; §80 b)]:

Note: The metrics associated with each target are subject to external verification with regard to this report and are not verified by any other body [MDR-M_03; §77 b)]. It should be noted that the indicator relating to the increase in responses to the client satisfaction surveys can have values above 100%, reflecting situations in which more than one questionnaire is sent out in the reporting year itself. In addition, for the indicator on the implementation of internal audits for all contracts, it is possible to obtain values higher than 100% when the minimum requirements are exceeded. It is hoped that in the next reporting year, information by business unit will be detailed.
In the double materiality analysis conducted, the theme of cybersecurity emerged as material. With the increase in digital threats, such as ransomware attacks and data violations, and increasingly demanding regulation, regular investment in cybersecurity has become imperative. Therefore, two material risks were identified [R]: potential security incidents or corporate data breaches; intrusion or damage to information systems due to lack of anti-cyberattack security measures. [SBM-3_02; §48 a] The unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information and commercial data may compromise the confidentiality of commercial information, the Group's competitiveness and the sustainability of the business, leading to legal consequences, reputational damage and loss of competitive advantage [R] [SBM-3_02; §48 a].
Mota-Engil has an Incident Management Policy whose key goal is to ensure the continual improvement of cybersecurity practices and to minimise the material risks identified, such as the unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information and commercial data and the lack of anti-cyberattack security measures. The Policy, in which all IT managers were involved in drafting, applies to activities within the scope of security incident management in accordance with ISO 27001. [MDR-P_04; §65 d | MDR-P_05; §65 e]
All those involved in the process, namely the technical staff responsible for incident resolution, must comply with this policy and ensure that others do too. The Policy is monitored via a Security Operations Centre (SOC) that analyses events of the Security Information and Event Management System (SIEM) and then acts accordingly, including blocking the system when necessary [MDR-P_01; §65 a].

| Key contents and goals [MDR-P_01; §65 a] |
Establishes the obligations relating to the reporting of information security events and vulnerabilities, responsibilities and procedures for managing incidents that allow the continual improvement of practices and the learning of lessons. Also highlighted is the way evidences and proof must be collected and processed so that, in the event of a disciplinary procedure or lawsuit (civil or criminal), the process is not compromised. |

To reinforce cybersecurity, Mota-Engil has implemented a set of strategic measures that guarantee the protection of its systems and data, as shown in the table.
Among these actions, the Group has a Security Operations Centre, which continuously monitors cybersecurity risk events, guaranteeing a rapid response to incidents. It uses solutions such as antispam, antivirus and firewall to reinforce its defence against threats. At the same time, Mota-Engil promotes training and awareness campaigns, strengthening the security culture among employees. These actions contribute to a safer digital environment [MDR-A_01; §68 a)].

Training of users, with the focus on awareness of risk behaviours. Includes: • Regular training sessions to keep employers updated about recent threats and better security practices; • Phishing simulations; • Distribution of educational materials and holding of communication campaigns and interactive workshops; • Application of tests and questionnaires. |
Note: No negative material impacts associated with cybersecurity, only risks, were identified. No remedial measures are therefore identified [MDR-A_04; §68 d].
In the aim of a more mature approach to cybersecurity, Mota-Engil implemented a process of continual improvement for each of the actions described. Though this theme emerged as material in the last materiality exercise and, as such, no associated action plans have been previously disclosed, it is highlighted that this process of improvement includes periodic revision of the measures adopted, identification of improvement opportunities and adaptation to better sectoral practices. [MDR-A_05; §68 e]
The actions do not involve capital expenditure (CapEx) [MDR-A_09; §69 b] [MDR-A_11; §69 c] but they do require operating expenditure (OpEx), namely over €1 million a year for current financial resources [MDR-A_10; §69 b] and an increase of over 10% per year in expenses planned for future periods [MDR-A_12; §69 c]. Depending on the monetary levels required, internal or external financing will be used. [MDR-A_06; §69 a]. The ability to execute these actions depends on the Group's finances, as well as the allocation of other necessary resources [MDR-A_06; §69 a]. It should also be noted that this amount represents less than 1% of the Group's total OpEX [MDR-A_07; §69 b].
Mota-Engil has not yet set measurable cybersecurity targets, but it intends to do so in the future. These targets will allow future monitoring and assessment of the progress of the initiatives implemented, ensuring the effectiveness of the policies adopted and the boosting of security [MDR-T_14; §72] | [MDR-T_14; §81 a] | [MDR-T_16; §81 b].
Similarly, no formal measurable metrics for cybersecurity yet exist, although the Group intends to set out and implement specific indicators in the future to ensure structured tracking of performance in this area [MDR-M].
To assess the effectiveness of the risk mitigation measures, we have a systems administration and service desk contract that includes availability KPIs, which are analysed monthly to guarantee the efficiency and security of our infrastructure. Kyndryl is responsible for the full management of Office 365, ensuring that all services are optimised and secured.
One of the important KPIs we monitor is the number of users without multifactor authentication (MFA). This KPI is crucial, as the lack of MFA represents a significant risk to data and system security. Kyndryl works continually to reduce this number, implementing additional security measures and educating users on the importance of MFA.
In addition, we have implemented measures to deactivate accounts with no activity to minimise the security risks associated with inactive accounts. We also apply MFA forguest users, ensuring that all external access is properly protected.
Monthly analysis of KPIs allows us to identify areas for improvement and to take corrective action rapidly, guaranteeing that the Office 365 infrastructure is always protected and operating at the high availability. [MDR-T_16; §81 b].

Continuing the reporting of previous years - Reports prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards - and recognising the importance of disclosing these indicators to some users of sustainability information, Mota-Engil chose to maintain the disclosure of the following GRI indicators, in addition to the information reported in the Sustainability Statement: GRI 2- 27, GRI 201-1 and GRI 303-3.
The Integrity and Compliance Programme and the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct characterises the situations in which a conflict of interest may arise and define the responsibility of employees to act in the best interests of the Group and not to act in a way that conflicts with this responsibility. Situations that could potentially generate a conflict of interest must be reported, in accordance with the Conflict-of-Interest Procedure, by completing the Conflict of Interest Declaration.
Conflicts of interest are avoided and mitigated through the balanced composition of management bodies (see indicator 2-11) and the three instruments set up to communicate, avoid and deal with potential conflicts of interest:
Reference should be made to the need to communicate transactions with related parties to the market, under the information duties to which public companies are subject, namely the provision of information on the main relevant transactions between related parties carried out, referring in particular to the amount of such transactions, the nature of the relevant relationship and other information necessary to understand the issuer's financial position if such transactions are relevant and have not been concluded under normal market conditions. In addition, the procedures for approving transactions with related parties may in some cases be more demanding than those laid down by law, particularly if the amounts involved are greater than 1 million euros.
For the purposes of this indicator, significant incidents of non-compliance with laws and regulations were those which resulted in fines of more than €3,000. This information was calculated considering the information centrally available in the system (excluding markets such as Brazil, Peru and Mexico). It should be noted that, having in mind the continuous improvement, the information available centrally covers more and more Group companies. The report is based on the accounting records of the Mota-Engil Group companies, which are supported by Mota-Engil Global in the accounts relating to fines and penalties, converting the amounts recorded in the accounts to Euros at the average annual exchange rate.

| euros), relating to | cases of non-compliance with laws and regulations during earlier financial years |
588,030 € |
It should be noted that, in 2024 there were no convictions for violations of anti-corruption, anti-bribery, or environmental laws. Most of the non-compliance figures stem from fines imposed as part of tax inspections or as a result of noncompliance with legal deadlines for submitting or paying tax obligations.
In general, these situations are one-off occurrences. However, whenever deemed necessary, corrective actions have been implemented to avoid future situations.
The way in which a multinational like Mota-Engil creates and distributes economic value reflects the way in which it generates wealth for its different stakeholders throughout its value chain, producing significant economic impacts on society and impacting on the lives of thousands of people. This wealth is reflected in the direct monetary value added to local economies - through the generation of products and services, the payment of capital services and taxes, the jobs created, and salaries paid, as well as the community investment made, as shown in the table below.

We recognise the importance of investing in the efficient and responsible use of water. Both in construction projects and in our various areas of activity, we look for solutions to monitor and optimise the use of this resource and reduce the associated impacts of both our consumption and the discharge of effluents. For this reason, we monitor and report on the volume of water abstracted and where it comes from.

Note 1: The figures reported relate to water abstraction resulting from the operations of the Group's companies.
Note 2: The figures above for surface water do not include the water abstracted at the Fenix Generating Plant, which is returned in its entirety to the water environment, duly monitored and controlled. It should be noted that data from Valorsul has been included (surface water abstracted from the river Tagus to cool the water-steam circuit at the Energy Recovery Plant), which has led to an increase in the figures compared to the previous reporting year.
Note 3: The source 'Water acquired from third parties' includes water supplied by municipal management organisations.

Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A., with its head office at Edifício Mota, Rua do Rego Lameiro, 38, 4300-454 Porto - Portugal (Mota-Engil SGPS or the Company), and its subsidiaries (the Group or the Mota-Engil Group) mainly operates in public and private construction works and related activities, as well as, waste collection and treatment. The Group's business is primarily developed in three regions: Europe, Africa and Latin America. Lastly, the shares and some bonds of Mota-Engil SGPS are listed at Euronext Lisbon and a bond issuance is also listed at Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
These financial statements are included by the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, S.A. (direct shareholder of the Company – MGP) and in the consolidated financial statements of China Communications Construction Group (CCCC).
All the amounts disclosed in these notes are presented in thousand euros, rounded off to the unit, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
The consolidated financial statements of the Mota-Engil Group were prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies comprising it, adjusted in the consolidation process.
The Board of Directors assessed the ability of the Group to operate on a going concern basis, based on all relevant information, facts and circumstances of financial, commercial or other nature, including subsequent events, occurred after the reference date of the financial statements, available about the future. As a result of the assessment made, the Board of Directors concluded that the Group has adequate resources to maintain its business and has no intention to cease it in the short term. Therefore, the use of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements was considered appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and according to the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or by the former Standards Interpretations Committee (SIC), as adopted by the European Union on 1 January 2024. Regarding Group companies which use different accounting standards, the respective financial statements were subject to conversion adjustments to IFRS.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the historical cost, except for certain classes of tangible assets, for investment properties, for some equity investments and for derivative financial instruments, which were recorded at their revalued cost or at their fair value at the end of each reporting period, as described in the accounting policies below.
The fair value is the amount by which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled, among parties with know-how and willing to do so, in a transaction in which there is no connection between them, regardless of the fact that such price can be directly verified or estimated using other valuation techniques. By estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics that the market players would also consider when they price the asset or liability on the measuring date.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, measurement at fair value is ranked according to a three-tiered system (Level 1, 2 and 3) which takes into consideration, namely, whether the data used can be observed in an active market and its relevance in the valuation of the assets / liabilities or at their disclosure.
The aforesaid tiered system is comprised by:
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions endorsed by the European Union were adopted by the first time during the year ended 31 December 2024:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years started in or after |
Contents |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 1 (amendment), Classification of liabilities as Non-current and Current and Non-current liabilities with covenants |
01/Jan/24 | These amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current balances depending on the rights that an entity has to defer its settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. They clarify also that the covenants that an entity is required to comply with, on or before the reporting date, affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current, even if the covenants are only assessed after the entity's reporting date. When an entity classifies liabilities arising from loan arrangements as non-current and those liabilities are subject to covenants, it is required to disclose information that enables investors to assess the risk that the liabilities could become repayable within 12 months, such as: a) the carrying amount of the liabilities; b) the nature of the covenants and the compliance dates; and c) the facts and circumstances that indicate that the entity may have difficulty complying with covenants when it is required to do so. These amendments are applied retrospectively. |
| IAS 7 (amendment) and IFRS 7 (amendment), Supplier finance arrangements |
01/Jan/24 | These amendments require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements to enable: i) the assessment of how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity's liabilities and cash flows; and ii) the understanding of the effect of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might be affected if the arrangements were no longer available. The additional requirements complement presentation and disclosure requirements already in IFRS as set out in the IFRS IC's Agenda decision of December 2020. |
| IFRS 16 (amendment), Lease liability in a sale and leaseback' |
01/Jan/24 | This amendment introduces guidance for the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities, in the scope of sale and leaseback transactions that qualify as "sales" under IFRS 15, with higher impact when some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate. Whilst subsequently measuring lease liabilities, seller-lessees determine "lease payments" and "revised lease payments" in a way that does not result in the seller-lessees recognizing any gains/(losses) relating with the right of use that they retain. This amendment is applied retrospectively. |
As of 31 December 2024, there were no material effects in the accompanying consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of the standards / interpretations / amendments and revisions above-mentioned.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future economic years, were, until 31 December 2024 endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years started in or after |
Contents |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 21 (amendment), The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability |
01/Jan/25 | This amendment adds requirements for determining whether a currency can be exchanged for another currency (exchangeability) and defining how to determine the spot exchange rate to be used when it is not possible to exchange a currency for a long period of time. This change also requires the disclosure of information that allows understanding how the currency that cannot be exchanged for another currency affects, or is expected to affect, the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the entity, in addition to the spot exchange rate used on the reporting date and how it was determined. This amendment is applied retrospectively without restating the comparatives. The entity is required to translate the affected amounts at estimated spot exchange rates at the date of initial application, with an adjustment to retained earnings (if between foreign and functional currency) or to the reserve for cumulative translation differences (if between functional and presentation currency). |
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future years, were not, until 31 December 2024, endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard / Interpretation | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years started in or after |
Contents |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 7 (annual improvements), Statement of Cash Flows | 01/Jan/26 | This amendment intends to align the designation of the measurement methods for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, with IAS 27 (eliminates the use of the term 'cost method'). |
| IFRS 1 (annual improvements), First-time Adoption of IFRS | 01/Jan/26 | This amendment intends to improve consistency with the requirements for hedge accounting in IFRS 9. This amendment clarifies that hedging instruments that already existed under previous GAAP must be eligible and meet the qualifying criteria of IFRS 9 to be maintained. Otherwise, the discontinuation of hedge accounting must be derecognized. Retrospectively application it is not permitted to hedge accounting transactions that occurred before the transition date. |
| IFRS 7 (annual improvements), Financial Instruments: Disclosures | 01/Jan/26 | These amendments pretend to: a) align the concepts between IFRS and IFRS 13, regarding the designation of "unobservable inputs" in the IFRS and in the implementation guide IG14; and b) clarify that the implementation guide does not cover all the disclosure requirements of IFRS 7, including the disclosure of credit risk for assets acquired or originated with impairment loss. |
| IFRS 9 (amendment) and IFRS 7 (amendment), Amendment to classification and measurement of financial instruments |
01/Jan/26 | These amendments intend to: i) clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; ii) clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion such as: 1) non-recourse assets; 2) contractually associated instruments; and 3) instruments with characteristics linked to compliance with environmental, social and governance ("ESG"); iii) add new disclosure requirements for instruments with contractual conditions that can change cash flows; and iv) update the disclosure requirements for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, separating the fair value reserve into the fair value gains or losses of the investments derecognized and those held at the end of the period. These amendments apply at the date they become effective without restating the comparatives. |
| IFRS 9 (amendment) and IFRS 7 (amendment), Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity |
01/Jan/26 | These amendments intend to improve the report of the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts, subject to variability of quantity generated because it is dependent of uncontrollable natural conditions. These amendments intend to: i) clarify the application of the "own use" exemption requirements of IFRS 9; ii) allow the application of hedge accounting when nature dependent electricity purchase contracts are designated as hedging instrument; and iii) add new disclosure requirements to IFRS 7 to better understand the impact of these contracts on the entity's financial performance and cash flows. This amendment shall be applied retrospectively without restating prior periods, except for hedging designation, which shall be applied prospectively. |
| IFRS 9 (annual improvements), Financial Instruments | 01/Jan/26 | These amendments relates to: a) clarification on the application of the principles of derecognition of a lease liability, when the contractual cash flows are extinguished, with the calculation of the gain or loss in profit or loss; b) elimination of the inconsistency with IFRS 15 regarding the initial recognition of an trade receivable under IFRS 15, which does not have a significant financing component, which should be recorded at the estimated value of IFRS 15 instead of fair value. |

| IFRS 10 (annual improvements), Consolidated Financial Statements |
01/Jan/26 | This amendment simplifies the definition of "de facto agent" and the exemplification of a situation in which this relationship is established with an investor. |
| IFRS 18 (new standard), Presentation and Disclosure in financial statements |
01/Jan/27 | This new standard will replace the current IAS 1. While retaining many of the existing principles of IAS 1, it is focused on the specification of a structure for the statement of profit or loss, composed of categories and required subtotals. Items in the statement of profit or loss will be classified into one of three categories: operating, investing, financing. Specified subtotals and totals will be required being the main change the mandatory inclusion of the subtotal "Operating profit or loss". This standard also includes improvements to the disclosure of management performance measures including the reconciliation with the most similar specified subtotal in IFRS Accounting standards. This standard also enhances guidance on the principles of aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements and respective notes, based on their shared characteristics. This standard applies retrospectively. |
| IFRS 19 (new standard), Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures |
01/Jan/27 | IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard which allows "Eligible" subsidiaries to use IFRS Accounting Standards with reduced disclosure requirements. IFRS 19 is a disclosure-only standard and works alongside other IFRS Accounting Standards for recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements. A subsidiary is "Eligible" if (i) it does not have public accountability; and (ii) has a parent that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 can be applied by "Eligible" subsidiaries when preparing their own consolidated, separate or individual financial statements. Complete comparative information needs to be prepared under IFRS 19 unless any exemption applies. |
The standards / interpretations / amendments / revisions referred to in items 1.1.2. and 1.1.3. above were not adopted by the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024. Nevertheless, no quantitative material impacts are estimated as a result of their adoption.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros (thousands) since this is the main currency of the Group's operations. The financial statements of affiliates expressed in foreign currency were translated into Euros in accordance with the accounting policies described in item h) of Note 1.2. of the accompanying notes.
In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Group's Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates which affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as, the respective income and expenses incurred, part of which are described in item r) of Note 1.3. of the accompanying notes.
All estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors were based on its knowledge of the events and transactions in progress as at the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and of the entities controlled by it, as well as, those controlled by its subsidiaries. Control is presumed when an entity: (i) has power over the affiliate; (ii) is exposed to and / or has variable rates of return arising from its involvement in the operations of the affiliate; (iii) has the ability to use the above-mentioned power to influence the affiliate's returns. Therefore, some affiliates whose holding percentage held by the Group is below 50% were considered to be controlled by it. The majority of these situations occur when the Group holds a majority financial holding in an affiliate that, in turn, holds another majority financial holding in another affiliated company. On the other hand, some affiliates whose effective holding percentage held by the Group is higher than 50% were not considered to be controlled given the existence of agreements signed with third parties through which shared control over those affiliates was established. Whenever any of the three elements above referred change regarding an affiliate, the Group reassesses the existence of control over it.
The Group controls an affiliate even if it does not hold the majority of the share capital when, by virtue of the voting rights held and / or eventual agreements entered into, it has the practical ability to unilaterally manage the affiliate's relevant activities and is exposed to variable rates of return. On the other hand, the Group does not control a subsidiary, even if it holds the majority of the voting rights, if it does not have the practical ability to manage the subsidiary's activities unilaterally as a result of any agreements it has entered into.
The net profit and further items of other comprehensive income and of equity of controlled companies that correspond to third party holdings in those entities (non-controlling interests) are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income under specific captions of "Non-controlling interests".
The other comprehensive income of controlled companies is attributable to the Group and to non-controlling interests even if this results in the latter ones having a deficit balance.
During the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the main transactions performed between Group companies can be summarized as follows:
Controlled companies (included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements through the full consolidation method) are listed in Appendix A to accompanying notes.
Financial investments in associated companies are recorded using the equity method and are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under the caption "Financial investments in associated companies".
Financial investments in associated companies are investments in which the Group has significant influence. A significant influence (presumed when voting rights exceed 20%) gives the power to participate in the financial and operational decisions of an entity, without having direct control or joint control over it. Additionally, the Group has significant influence over some entities whose effective holding percentage held by it is below 20%. Most of these situations occur when the Group holds a majority financial holding in a subsidiary that, in turn, controls or has significant influence in an affiliated company.
In accordance with the equity method, the financial investments in associated companies are initially recorded by their acquisition cost, which is subsequently adjusted:
During the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the main transactions performed between Group companies and associated companies can be summarized as follows:
An impairment analysis is performed to the financial investments in associated companies whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired, with a loss being recorded in the consolidated income statement whenever that is confirmed. The recoverable amount of the financial investments in associated companies is, for this purpose, determined in accordance with the provisions established in IAS 36. When impairment losses recognized in prior periods no longer exist, they are subject to a reversal through the recording of the corresponding gain in the consolidated income statement. Impairment losses are recorded as a deduction to the carrying amount of the financial investments.
When the Group's proportion in the accumulated losses of the associate exceeds the amount at which the financial investment is recorded, the investment is recorded by zero until the equity of the associate becomes positive, unless the Group has assumed commitments towards the associated company, recording, in that situation, a provision to cope with those commitments.
Unrealized gains on transactions with associated companies are eliminated in the proportion to the Group's interest against the caption "Financial investments in associated companies". nrealized losses are likewise eliminated, but only up to the point at which the loss does not evidence that the transferred asset is in an impairment situation.
Whenever necessary, the financial statements of the associated companies are adjusted in order to assure their consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Financial investments in associated companies are listed in Appendix A to accompanying notes.
Joint ventures are agreements in which the parties who hold joint control of the agreement have rights over their net assets. Joint control is the contractually agreed share of control which exists only when the decisions over relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties who share control. Financial investments in joint ventures are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position under the caption "Financial investments in joint ventures" through the equity method as described in item b) above.
In the case of increases in financial investments in joint ventures, there is no remeasurement of the interests previously held, since there is no change in the categorisation of the investment. Thus, the book value of the existing interest is increased by the cost of the additional interest acquired and goodwill is calculated by the difference between the acquisition cost of that additional interest and the book value of the additional interest's percentage in the net assets of the joint venture.
In the case of reductions in financial investments in joint ventures that do not change the categorisation of the investment, the proportion of the book value sold is derecognised and the proportion of the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income that would have to be reclassified in the event of the sale of the respective assets and liabilities is recycled to the income statement.
Financial investments in joint ventures are listed in Appendix A to accompanying notes.
Joint operations are agreements in which the parties who hold joint control have rights over the assets and obligations towards the liabilities of the agreement. Joint control is the contractually agreed share of control which exists only when the decisions on relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties who share control. When a company of the Group develops its activity within the scope of a joint operation, the Group, as a joint operator, recognizes, in relation to its interest in a joint operation, the following elements:
To assess whether an acquisition of an asset or a group of assets constitutes a business, the Group identifies the elements in the acquired entity (inputs, processes and outputs), assesses the ability to generate outputs (at a minimum, it must have an input and a substantive process to be assessed as a business) and, finally, assesses the ability of market participants to continue generating outputs (conducting activities as a business).
In the case of an integrated set of activities that is at an early stage of development and has not yet begun to generate outputs, the Group considers other factors to determine whether it constitutes a business, such as: (i) whether planning for the main activities has begun; (ii) whether there are employees, intellectual property and other inputs and processes; (iii) whether a plan is being followed to generate outputs; and/or (iv) whether it is possible to gain access to customers who will purchase the outputs. Generally, an early-stage entity that has employees capable of developing an output will be considered a business.
In line with the above, the Group concludes that IFRS 3 is not applicable when there are no outputs at the acquisition date due to an early stage of development, and the process(es) acquired cannot be considered substantive. Thus, the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets that does not fulfil the conditions to be considered a business is classified as an acquisition of a company outside the scope of IFRS 3.
Business combinations are recorded in accordance with the purchase method. The business combination cost is determined at fair value consisting in the sum, as at the date of acquisition of control, of: (i) fair value of the assets transferred by the Group; (ii) fair value of the liabilities incurred by the Group as a result of the acquisition of control; and (iii) fair value of the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for the acquisition of control. Expenses associated with business combinations are recorded in the consolidated income statement as they are incurred.
On the acquisition control date, the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are measured at fair value, and such measurements may be concluded within twelve months from that date. For fair value measurement purposes, the Group uses the market prices in force for similar assets and liabilities or, in its absence, universally accepted valuation techniques (comparable prices, discounted cash-flows, among others). The excess of the cost of the combination plus the fair value of potential interests previously held in the acquired entity and the value attributed to non-controlling interests in relation to the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities is recognized as goodwill. If the above-mentioned difference is negative, it is recognized as a gain of the year under the caption "Gains / (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies", after reconfirmation of the fair value attributed to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. The Group chooses, on a case-by-case basis, the valuation of the non-controlling interests: (i) according to its proportion in the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities or (ii) by its fair value. Up to 1 January 2012, non-controlling interests were exclusively recorded in accordance with the corresponding proportion in the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.
Future contingent payments, if applicable, are recognized as a liability at the time of acquisition at its fair value, with any change in the initially recorded amount being accounted against the carrying amount of goodwill, but only if this occurs within the remeasurement period (12 months after the acquisition date), and if it is related to events prior to the acquisition date. Otherwise, it should be recorded under the caption of consolidated income statement " ains / (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies".
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the interest previously held by the Group in the acquired company is remeasured at fair value on the acquisition date and the gain or loss arising therefrom, if any, is recognized in the consolidated income statement under the caption " ains / (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies". On the other hand, amounts arising from interests in the acquired company before the acquisition date which had been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated income statement, provided that it was the proper treatment if that interest had been disposed of.
The acquisition of financial investments in associated companies is recorded through the purchase method.
Therefore, any surplus / shortfall of the acquisition cost in relation to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired of the associated company, at the acquisition date, is recognized, respectively, as goodwill (being added to the carrying amount of the financial investment), or as gain in the income statement of the year under the caption "Gains / (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies " (in the latter case, after the proper reconfirmation of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities).
On the other hand, future contingent payments and subsequent updates following the acquisition of financial investments in associated companies are recorded at fair value through the consolidated income statement.
Lastly, business combinations that result from transactions with entities under common control are recorded in accordance with the purchase method, adopting by analogy the provisions of IFRS 3. Additionally, the difference between the amount received and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, the determined difference of acquisition and the revaluation of previously held interests are recorded directly in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
The acquisition of interests in companies that are already controlled is treated as a transaction between shareholders and, therefore, does not result in the recognition of any goodwill or result. Consequently, any difference between the respective cost and the carrying amount of the corresponding non-controlling interests acquired is recorded directly in equity. Furthermore, when the disposal of interests in controlled companies does not result in loss of control, the potential differences between the amount transferred to non-controlling interests and the price of the transaction is recorded directly in equity.
When the disposal of interests in a former controlled company results in loss of control by the Group, a gain or loss is recognized in the income statement under the caption " ains / (losses) on the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies" corresponding to the difference between: (i) the fair value of the assets received by the Group plus the fair value of potential interests held in the divested company and (ii) the carrying amount of the company's assets and liabilities in the Group's consolidated financial statements and any related potential non-controlling interests.
Goodwill is recorded at cost (determined as described in item e) of this Note) less accumulated impairment losses.
Regarding the goodwill generated before the IFRS transition date, the respective cost corresponded to its net book value determined in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Portugal on that date, having it being subject to impairment tests at the transition date. Moreover, and in accordance with the dispositions established in IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards, the Group did not apply retrospectively the provisions of IAS 21 – The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates to the goodwill generated before the IFRS transition date.
The goodwill generated in the acquisition of subsidiaries based abroad whose functional currency is not the Euro is recorded in the functional currency of those subsidiaries having it been translated into the Group's functional and reporting currency (Euro) at the exchange rate in force on the reference date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Any currency exchange differences arising from that translation are recorded in equity under the caption "Currency translation reserve".
On an annual basis and with reference to the date of the consolidated statement of the financial position, the Group performs impairment tests on goodwill. Whenever the amount recorded of goodwill is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement under the caption "Impairment losses". For goodwill, the recoverable amount is always estimated for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which it was assigned.
Generally, CGUs correspond to the acquired companies, except for EGF's waste collection and treatment companies, whose CGU corresponded to the group of companies acquired (11 concession companies of waste collection and treatment and one holding company).
Impairment losses recorded in goodwill cannot be reversed.
The assets and liabilities included in the financial statements of subsidiaries that do not use Euro as a functional currency are translated to Euro, during the consolidation process, using the exchange rates in force at the reference date of the consolidated statement of the financial position. The income and expenses, as well as, the cash flows, are translated to Euro using the average exchange rates for the year, except for companies with a functional currency considered as hyperinflationary, where the exchange rates in force as of the reference date of the consolidated statement of the financial position are used. The resulting exchange differences, are recorded in equity under the caption "Currency translation reserve".
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign companies are treated as assets and liabilities of those companies and translated to Euro in accordance with the exchange rates in force at the reference date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Whenever a foreign company is disposed of, the corresponding amount of the accumulated exchange differences is recognized in the income statement as a gain or a loss of disposal, if there is loss of control, or transferred to non-controlling interests if no loss of control occurs.

According to IAS 29 – "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies", the financial statements of entities / companies whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy must be expressed in terms of the current measuring unit at the reference date of the consolidated statement of the financial position being the gain or loss in the net monetary position included in the consolidated net profit or loss of the year.
Hyperinflationary economies are defined by the Group as those where some of the following situations occur:
Taking into consideration the above mentioned, and since some of those situations occur, Angola (in the years of 2017 and 2018), Zimbabwe (from 2019 to 2022) and Malawi (in the year 2024) were considered hyperinflationary economies. Nevertheless, the impacts generated in previous years arising from the adoption of that standard, namely those associated with the remeasurement of non-monetary assets and liabilities, will remain until the assets are sold, consumed or amortized and until the liabilities are sold or liquidated.
In order to determine the above-mentioned general price index, the Group used on 31 December 2024 the information disclosed by the National Bank of Malawi regarding the levels of inflation in that country in the last years. Those indexes, can be summarized as follows:
| Price index in Malawi | |

Detailed information regarding the impact of the above mentioned restatements in the year ended 31 December 2024 can be analysed in Note 46.
The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements were as follows:
Intangible assets are only recognised when they are identifiable, when it will be probable to generate future economic benefits controlled by the Group and can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are measured at acquisition cost, less amortization and impairments.
Intangible assets of the Group are basically comprised by concession operation rights (arising from the adoption of IFRIC 12), intangible assets recognized within the allocation process of fair value to assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, and software.
IFRIC 12 applies to public service concession contracts under which the Grantor controls (regulates):
the services to be provided by the operator (by means of use of the infrastructure), to whom and at what price; and
any residual interest on the infrastructure at the end of the contract.
IFRIC 12 applies to infrastructures:
that were built or purchased by the operator from third parties; and
that already exist and to which the operator is granted access.
Therefore, taking in consideration the above referred, the concessions held by the Group, mainly those assigned to the waste treatment and recovery business (EGF Subgroup), are covered by that IFRIC due to the following reasons:
The Group has public service concession contracts established with the State ("Grantor") during a pre-set period;
The Group provides public services through the usage of the infrastructures;
The Grantor controls the services provided and the conditions under which they are provided (as regards concessions in the waste treatment and recovery business namely through ERSAR the regulating body); and
The several assets used for the provision of the services fall to the Grantor at the end of the concession contracts.
On the other hand, IFRIC 12 also establishes the generic principles of recognition and measurement of the rights and obligations associated with concession contracts with the above-mentioned characteristics and defines the following recognition models:
Considering the terms of the concession contracts entered into by the concessionaire's companies of the EGF Subgroup, namely its remuneration model, the operations of those concessionaires were considered to be covered by the intangible asset model, mainly due to the fact that the concessionaires have the right to charge a fee to the users and since they assume the operational, investment and financing risks of the concessions.
On the other hand, regarding the residual value of the assets assigned to the concessions, for which, according with the respective concession contracts, the Group has the right to be reimbursed at the end of the concessions for their net book value, this amount was included as a part of the intangible asset, being remunerated annually in accordance with the tariff regulation in force.
In order to amortize the assets assigned to the concessions, the method that best reflected the model by which future economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed by the Grantor was considered. Therefore, the Group is using the useful lives defined and approved by the regulator (ERSAR), since those are the basis of its annual income, i.e., the concession assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in accordance with the remuneration model underlying the tariff regulation. The useful lives defined and approved by ERSAR for the main infrastructures assigned to the waste treatment and recovery business are as follows:
| Classes | Years |
|---|---|
| Landfill | Depletion method |
| Landfill biogas | 7 - 36 |
| WWTP - ETAL | 3 - 36 |
| Incineration | 3 - 36 |
| CDR production | 7 - 36 |
| Selective collection | 3 - 10 |
| Landfill sealing | Concession period |
| Transfers and transportation | 10 - 36 |
| Mechanical treatment | 3 - 36 |
| Screening and ecocenters | 3 - 36 |
| Organic and biological recovery | 3 - 36 |
| Others | 2 - 12 |
The amortizations of intangible assets are recorded by twelfths under the caption "Amortizations and depreciations" of the consolidated income statement. Any potential changes to the estimated useful life of the intangible assets are carried out prospectively.
On the other hand, it should be highlighted that the right granted within the scope of the concession contracts corresponds to the possibility of the concessionaires to charge tariffs according to the incurred costs with the infrastructures. Thus, taking in consideration the tariff calculation methodology, the remuneration is calculated based on each specific concession asset, which implies the need to divide the right. Therefore, the right can be divided into several components as the different remuneration's basis are fulfilled. Thus, intangible assets increase as the several infrastructures related to the concession are being fulfilled and are recorded at their acquisition / construction cost and decrease as future economic benefits are being consumed.
Regarding the investment grants linked to the concession assets, those are recognized in the consolidated income statement in the same rhythm of the amortization of the underlying assets.
Lastly, within the scope of the existing concession contracts, the construction activity is subcontracted to external specialized entities. Therefore, EGF concessionaires earn no margin in the construction of the assets allocated to the concessions and so the revenue and the costs with the construction of those assets present an equal amount and are recorded under the captions of "Sales and services rendered" and "Third-party supplies and services".
The remaining intangible assets associated with concessions operation rights are being amortized using the straight-line method, by twelfths, during the remaining term of the respective rights (60 years for those allocated to AMGP Agricultura, 35 years for those allocated to Estradas do Zambeze and 7 years for those allocated to Ecoeburnie and Clean Eburnie).
As of 31 December 2024, there are no intangible assets of material value with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets of material value generated internally.
Real estate assets (land and buildings) for own use are initially recorded at their acquisition or production cost. However, for the real estate assets, with exception of lands and building assigned to quarries exploration, the Group adopted the revaluation method (revalued amount less accumulated amortizations) as the accounting policy for its subsequent measurement. The respective revalued amount corresponds to its fair value as at the revaluation date. The revaluations are carried out regularly (in a time frame which does not exceed three years) by independent real estate appraisers, in a way that the revalued amount does not differ materially from the fair value of the respective real estate asset. Fair value is determined either through the comparative market method, the income method or the depreciation replacement cost method.
In the comparative market method are used as relevant inputs the acquisition, construction, sale or lease cost per square meter of real estate assets with similar characteristics; in the income method are used as relevant inputs the lease rents in force, the estimated lease rents to be in force after the term of the current contracts and the discount rate that better reflects the risks inherent to the real estate assets; and in the depreciated replacement cost method are used as relevant inputs the construction cost per square meter and the economic / physical depreciation of the real estate asset under analysis.
Adjustments arising from revaluations performed to the real estate assets for own use (with exception of lands and buildings assigned to quarries exploration) are recorded against equity. When a land / building which had been revalued positively in previous years is subsequently revalued negatively, the adjustment is recorded against equity up to the amount corresponding to the increased equity arising from the previous revaluation, less the amount realized through depreciation, with its excess, if any, being recorded as a cost in the consolidated income statement of the year.
Depreciation is allocated on a systematic basis using the straight-line method during the estimated useful life of the buildings, which varies between 20 and 50 years. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation of real estate assets for own use is recorded by twelfths under the caption "Amortizations and depreciations" of the consolidated income statement. Any potential changes to the estimated useful life of real estate assets for own use are carried out prospectively.
The land assign to quarries exploration is recorded at acquisition cost, deducted from accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation of these assets is carried out according to the depletion method, i.e., considering the ratio between the quantities of inert extracted annually and the estimated total reserves of existing inerts, which are assessed regularly through topographic surveys performed by drones.
Heavy equipment associated with the Engineering and Construction business include pavers, excavators, dumpers, tractors, cranes, loaders, platforms, engines, and others having the Group adopted the revaluation model (revaluation amount deducted from accumulated amortization) as the accounting policy for the subsequent measurement of those equipments.
The revalued amount corresponds to the fair value of the equipment at the revaluation date. The revaluations are performed regularly (in a time frame that does not exceed 3 years) by independent appraisers so that the amount revaluated does not materially differ from the fair value of the equipment. The fair value is determined individually, through the market comparative method or, in very specific cases, through the depreciated replacement cost method.
The market comparative method consists in determining the market value of the equipment through the analysis of the prices within active markets (transactions) with the same or similar characteristics and traded in the local and international markets.
The depreciated replacement cost method consists in determining the value of replacing the equipment under analysis, taking into consideration the cost of acquiring another with similar functions, deducted from the amount related to the functional/physical and economic depreciation / obsolescence verified.
Adjustments arising from revaluations performed to the heavy equipment's referred above are recorded against equity. When a heavy equipment which had been revalued positively in previous years is subsequently revalued negatively, the adjustment is recorded against equity up to the amount corresponding to the increased equity arising from the previous revaluations, less the amount realized through amortization, with its excess, if any, being recorded as a cost in the consolidated income statement of the year.

Other tangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Heavy equipment and other tangible assets in progress represent assets still under construction / development and are recorded at acquisition cost, less any potential accumulated impairment losses.
Heavy equipment and other tangible assets depreciation is calculated after the assets are in condition to be used, that is, when the assets are available for use and in the desired conditions, in terms of quality and technical reliability, to operate as intended by the Group's Board of Directors, and are alocated systematically using the straight line method during its useful life, which is determined based on the asset's expected usage by the Group, its expected natural wear, its predictable technical obsolescence and the potential residual value attributable to the asset.
The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives (in years):
| Equipment | Years |
|---|---|
| Administrative equipment | 4 - 10 |
| Basic equipment (excluding the one related to concessions) | 3 - 10 |
| Heavy equipment associated with the engeneering and construction business |
3 - 12 |
| Transport equipment | 3 - 10 |
| Tools and utensils | 3 - 6 |
| Other tangible assets | 3 - 10 |
Heavy equipment and other tangible assets depreciation is recorded by twelfths under the caption "Amortizations and depreciations" of the consolidated income statement. Any potential changes to the estimated useful life of the heavy equipment and other tangible assets are carried out prospectively.
Gains or losses arising from the disposal or the write-off of tangible assets are determined through the difference between its sale price and the net book value on the disposal / write-off date and are recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption " ther operating income / (expenses)".
At each reporting date the carrying amount of the Group's tangible and intangible assets is revised in order to determine if there is any evidence that the assets are impaired. In case there is such evidence, the recoverable amount of the respective asset (or of the CGU) is estimated, in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
The recoverable amount of the asset or of the CGU is the highest between: (i) the fair value less costs to sell or (ii) the value in use. In determining the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a discount rate which reflects the market expectations regarding the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset or the CGU in relation to which the estimated future cash flows were not adjusted.
Whenever the carrying amount of the asset (or of the CGU) is higher than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recorded. An impairment loss is immediately recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption "Impairment losses", unless that loss compensates a revaluation excess recorded in equity. In this last case, that loss will be treated as a revaluation decrease.
Impairment losses are assigned to the carrying amount of the CGU's as follows: first to the goodwill allocated to the CGU (if any) and then to the other assets of the CGU on a pro rata basis taking in consideration the respective carrying amounts.
The reversal of impairment losses recorded in previous years only occur when there is evidence that the impairment losses no longer exist or decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption "Impairment losses". The reversal of impairment losses is recognized up to the limit of the amount that would have been recorded (net of depreciation) if the previous impairment losses had not been accounted.
At the inception date of a contract, the Group assesses if its scope corresponds to a lease, or if it contains a lease. A lease corresponds to a contract, or part of a contract, through which it is granted the right to control the use of an identifiable asset for a defined period of time in exchange for a consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identifiable asset for a defined period of time, the Group assesses if, during the usage period of the asset, it has cumulatively:
The Group recognizes the right of use of an asset and the lease liability at the inception date of the lease contract. The right of use of an asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted by any lease payments made on or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, as well as, an estimate of the costs required to dismantle and remove the underlying asset (if applicable), less any lease incentives received.
The right of use of an asset is depreciated by twelfths using the straight-line method. The right of use of an asset is depreciated during the term of the lease contract, except for those assets for which the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, being those depreciated during their expected useful life.
On each reporting date, it is performed a review over the carrying amount of the right of use assets in order to determine whether there are any indications that these may be impaired. If there is any impairment indicator, the recoverable amount of the respective asset (or CGU) is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
The right of use assets related to heavy equipment are measured by the revaluation model, as described in Note 1.3.d).
The lease liability is initially measured by the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been paid at the inception date of the contract, discounted using the implicit interest rate of the lease or, if that rate cannot be determined, using the incremental borrowing rate of the respective affiliate company. In most of the situations, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to be used in the above referred calculation.
The types of lease payments considered in the measurement of the lease liability include the following ones:
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the cost with interests and decreased by the rent payments to the landlord and is remeasured when the following conditions occur: (i) changes in the future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate specified in the contract; (ii) a change in the roup's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee of the asset; or (iii) if the Group changes its assessment over the exercise of a purchase option, or over its extension or termination.
Investment properties comprise land and buildings held with the aim of obtaining rents and / or the appreciation of the invested capital, and not for the use in the production or supply of products or services, or for administrative purposes (situations in which they are classified as tangible assets), or for sale during the ordinary course of business (situations in which they are classified as inventories). The classification of certain land and buildings as investment properties instead of inventories and / or tangible assets is based, essentially, on the use that the Group's Board of Directors defines for those real estate assets taking in consideration namely the maximization of their return.
Investment properties, including those that are under construction, are recorded at their fair value, determined in an annual basis by specialized external appraisers.
Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recorded directly in the consolidated income statement of the year under the caption " ther operating income / (expenses) – Changes in fair value in investment properties".
Costs incurred with investment properties in use, namely maintenances, repairs, insurances and property taxes, are recognized in the consolidated income statement of the year to which they refer.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if its carrying amount is expected to be recovered essentially through a disposal or through a distribution to the shareholders instead of its continued use. In order to be classified as such, those assets must be available for immediate sale under their current conditions, the sale must be highly probable, the Board of Directors must be committed to execute such sale and the disposal should occur within a 12-month period.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lowest amount between its carrying amount and its fair value less the estimated costs with its sale. Its amortization ceases at the time of classification as non-current assets held for sale.
In order to determine the fair value of non-current assets held for sale, the Group considered, namely, binding offers for the assets to be disposed of and internal valuations.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of the financial position of the Group when it becomes a contracting party of the financial instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and liabilities (except for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss) are added or deducted to the fair value of the financial asset or liability, as the case may be, in the initial cost recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities recognized at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recorded in the consolidated income statement.
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the date the respective purchase and sale agreements are signed, regardless of the financial settlement date.
All financial assets recognized are subsequently measured at amortized cost, or at fair value, (through other comprehensive income or through profit and loss), depending on the business model adopted by the Group and the characteristics of its contractual cash flows.
a) Debt instruments and accounts receivable
The fixed income debt instruments and the accounts receivable that meet the following requirements are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
The income associated with interest is recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption "Financial income and gains", through the effective interest rate method, for financial assets subsequently recorded at amortized cost or at fair value through profit and loss. The interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
The debt instruments and the accounts receivable which meet the following requirements are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
In the initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably choose (financial instrument to financial instrument) to designate certain investments in equity instruments (shares) at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The designation at fair value through other comprehensive income is not allowed if the investment is held for trading purposes or if it results from a contingent consideration recognized within the scope of a business combination.
The investments in equity instruments recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with the gains and losses arising from its change recognized in other comprehensive income. At the date of their disposal, the accumulated gain or loss generated with these financial instruments is not reclassified to the consolidated income statement but instead it is transferred to the caption "Other reserves and retained earnings".
Financial assets which do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial assets recorded at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value determined at the end of each reporting period, being the respective gains or losses recognized in the consolidated income statement, unless they are assigned to a hedge relationship.
The Group recognizes expected impairment losses for debt instruments measured at amortized cost, as well as, for accounts receivable from customers and for contract assets.
The amount of expected impairment losses for the financial assets above referred is updated on each reporting date in order to reflect the changes in the credit risk occurred since the initial recognition of the respective financial assets.
The expected impairment losses for credit granted (accounts receivable from customers and contract assets) are estimated using an uncollectability matrix based on the credit history of the Group's debtors over the last five years, adjusted by specific factors attributable to the debtors, as well as, by the forecasted macroeconomic conditions for the future. Therefore, the balances of customers and other debtors were segmented taking in consideration similar types of credit risk (by country, by business unit, by type of debtor - public or private, etc.) and by aging.
The Group recognizes the expected impairment losses for credit granted for the whole life of the accounts receivable from customers, as well as, for contract assets.
Regarding accounts receivable from joint ventures and associated companies, which are not part of the financial investment in those entities, the credit impairment is assessed taking in consideration the following criteria: i) if the account receivable is immediately payable ("on demand"); ii) if the account receivable risk is low; (iii) if the account receivable term is lower than 12 months.
In the situations where the account receivable is immediately due and the affiliated entity has the ability to pay it, the probability of default was considered close to 0% and therefore the impairment was considered equal to zero. In the situations where the account receivable is not immediately payable, it was assessed the credit risk of the affiliated entity and if it is "low" or if its term is lower than 12 months, the Group only assesses the probability of a default occurring for the cash-flows that will expire in the next 12 months.
For all other situations and natures of accounts receivable, the Group applies the general approach of the impairment model assessing in each reporting date if there was a significant increase in the credit risk since the initial date of recognition of the asset. If the credit risk has not increased, the Group calculates an impairment loss corresponding to the amount of the expected loss in a 12-month period. If there has been an increase in the credit risk, the Group calculates an impairment loss corresponding to the expected loss for all contractual cash flows until the maturity of the asset. The credit risk assessment is performed in accordance with the criteria disclosed in the credit risk policy disclosed in Note 45.
Accounts receivables are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position under the caption "Customers and other debtors".
Accounts receivables are classified as current assets, except when their maturity is greater than the normal business cycle, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.
In some geographies, namely in Africa, the normal business cycle may exceed 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and, for this purpose, the present value of those accounts receivable is estimated, under the terms explained in the Note 23.
The Group only derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the asset's cash flows expires or when it transfers the financial asset together with all substantial risks and rewards associated with the respective ownership to other entity.
In the derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
However, in the derecognition of a financial asset represented by an equity instrument irrevocably designated in the initial recognition as recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the gain or loss accumulated in the fair value reserve is not reclassified to the consolidated income statement being instead transferred to the caption of " ther reserves and retained earnings".
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as liabilities or as equity instruments according to the contractual substance of the transaction.
Any contract that assigns to a third party a residual interest in the Group's net assets, without any obligation of repayment or to pay by the Group, is classified as equity.
The equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized by the amount received net of the costs directly attributable to them.
The repurchase of equity instruments issued by the Group (own shares) is recorded by its acquisition cost as a deduction of equity. ains or losses arising from the disposal of own shares are recorded under the caption " ther reserves and retained earnings".
Following the initial recognition, all financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial liabilities which are not designated to be recorded at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Loans without recourse correspond to loans in which only the assets of the financed companies secure the payment of the debt ( roject finances). In loans with recourse, the debt's settlement can be ensured by the Group.
Other financial liabilities refer, essentially, to factoring, payment management operations (confirming and other similar agreements) and anticipation of credits, which are initially recorded at their fair value. These financial liabilities are, subsequent to its initial recognition, measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Loans issued in the form of commercial paper are classified as non-current liabilities when guaranteed to be placed for a period of more than one year and the Group's Board of Directors can use that source of financing for a period of more than one year.
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, its obligations are settled, cancelled or have expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in the consolidated income statement in the caption "Financial income and gains" and/or "Financial costs and losses".
When the Group exchanges with a creditor a debt instrument by another with substantially different terms that exchange is recorded as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new one.
The Group uses a set of derivative financial instruments (forwards, swaps and options) to manage its exposure to the interest rate risk and to the exchange rate risk, but it does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The use of derivative financial instruments is duly regulated by the Group.
Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at their fair value on the date they are established and are subsequently remeasured at fair value on each reporting date. The corresponding gain or loss is immediately recognized in the consolidated income statement unless the derivative financial instrument has been designated as a hedge instrument, situation on which the recognition in the income statement depends upon the nature of the hedging relationship.
As referred above, the derivative financial instruments used by the Group refer, essentially, to interest rate and exchange rate hedge instruments mainly related to loans obtained. The amount of the loans, the interest payment dates, and the reimbursement plans are similar to the conditions established for the interest rate and for the exchange rate hedge instruments, and therefore the hedges are highly effective.
Interest rate and exchange rate hedge derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at their fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments assign to cash flows hedges, associated to the portion that is effectively hedged, are recognized in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income under the caption "Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments of cash flow hedges", and are transferred to the consolidated income statement in the same period that the hedged instrument affects the net profit.
The cash-flow hedge accounting must be discontinued if the hedging instrument matures or terminates earlier, if the hedge is no longer efficient (when there is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument) or if the hedged relationship fails to meet the risk management objective. In these situations, the accumulated gain or loss arising from the hedging instrument must remain recognized separately in other comprehensive income, being recognized in the consolidated income statement in the same period of the recognition in the net profit of the gains or losses in the hedged item.
a) Cash and cash equivalents – Demand deposits
The amounts included under the captions "Cash and cash equivalents with / without recourse - Demand deposits" correspond to cash, demand and term bank deposits and other treasury applications falling due within less than three months from the issuance date which can be repayable on demand with an insignificant risk of change in value.
b) Other financial applications
The amounts included under the caption "Other financial applications" correspond to cash, demand and term bank deposits and other treasury applications that are not immediately available, since they have been pledged as a guarantee or have been blocked.
The amounts of Cash and cash equivalents without recourse correspond to the funds held by the companies financed under a project finance regime, namely the ones of the EGF Subgroup.
Merchandise and raw materials, subsidiaries and consumables are recorded at the lowest of their average acquisition cost and their net realizable value (estimate of its sale price less the costs to be incurred with the disposal).
Finished and semi-finished products, subproducts, and work in progress are recorded at production cost, which is lower than its net realizable value. Production cost includes the cost of the incorporated raw materials, direct labour costs and other direct production general costs.
Adjustments are recorded to reflect the difference between the inventories carrying amount and the corresponding net realizable value, whenever this last one is lower on the reporting date.
Regarding inventories, adjustments to their net realizable value are determined based on market values and several rotation indicators.
The cost of goods sold, and materials consumed is determined by the following rules:
Revenue is measured according to the specific consideration established in the contracts entered into with the customers, excluding any amount received on behalf of third parties. The Group recognizes revenue when it transfers to the customer the control of a given good or service, depending on the business unit where it performs its activity.
The main business areas / sources of revenue of the Group can be detailed as follows:
i) Engineering and Construction – In this business area, the Group establish with several public and private entities contracts for the rendering of construction services which include several components / tasks. Although in the vast majority of the contracts the customers may benefit from the several components / tasks separately, since they are negotiated in a bundle the promise of transfer of each of them may not be separate from the others. Furthermore, since the previously mentioned components / tasks are generally highly correlated and dependent upon each other, the Group considers that they must be treated as a single performance obligation. Thus, each construction contract is generally treated as a single performance obligation.
On the other hand, since the customers are able to control the use of the asset as the asset is being built and are able to substantially obtain all remaining economic benefits therefrom, the Group's performance obligation in these situations is fulfilled throughout time, being the revenue recognized according to the cost-to-cost method (described below).
Thus, the Group recognizes the revenue of each construction contract in accordance with the cost-to-cost method (also called percentage-of-completion method), which is defined as the ratio between the costs incurred in each contract up to a given period and the sum of these costs with the costs estimated to complete it. The differences obtained between the amounts arising from the application of the percentage-of-completion to the total estimated revenue and the amounts already invoiced are recorded under the captions of Contract assets / Contract liabilities. Additionally, the Group's Board of Directors considers that the cost-to-cost method is the most appropriate method to measure the degree of fulfilment of the performance obligations in the construction contracts.
In order to apply the cost-to-cost method, costs with training, budgeting, displacement, among others, are not considered since they do not reflect the progress and transfer of control to the customer.
To deal with the costs to be incurred during the warranty period of the construction contracts, the Group recognizes a liability to face up to such legal obligation, which is calculated taking in consideration the historic levels of production and the incurred costs with the contracts during the warranty period. Due to the fact that the quality warranties provided by the Group arise solely from a legal obligation (both in its scope and in its term), they were not treated as autonomous performance obligations.
In the situations in which the Group is able to control the use of the asset as the asset is being built and is able to obtain substantially all remaining economic benefits therefrom (namely in the real estate business), revenue is recognized when the Group transfers to the customer the control of the asset (generally when the public deed of purchase of the asset occurs).
Regarding the industrial engineering services, since the customers simultaneously receive and consume the economic benefits arising from the Group's performance as it carries out its activity, the Group's performance obligation in these situations is satisfied throughout time, being the revenue recognized when the Group is entitled to invoice the services rendered since there is not a material delay between the moment that the Group performs the services and the moment it invoice them.
ii) Environment - In this business area, the Group enters into several contracts for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste, essentially, with public entities. Since in the majority of the situations the customers may benefit from the aforementioned services separately, each one of them is regarded as an autonomous performance obligation. On the other hand, since the customers simultaneously receive and consume the economic benefits arising from the Group's performance as it carries out its activity (collection, treatment and recovery of waste), the Group's performance obligation in these situations is satisfied throughout time, being the revenue recognized when the Group provides the services.
Moreover, the revenue arising from the regulated activities carried out by the companies of the EGF Subgroup (treatment and recovery of waste) is determined based on the tariff approved by the regulator (ERSAR), taking in consideration the allowed revenues and the quantities of waste arising from the undifferentiated collection.
The aim of the tariff is to recover:
iii) The operational costs associated with the regulated activity.
The tariff regulation, issued by ERSAR, defines the formula for the calculation of the allowed revenues for the regulated activities, as well as, the formula for the quantification of the tariff deviations which should be recovered until the second year after the date in which they were generated.
Therefore, in each reporting date, the Group determines, according to the criteria defined in the tariff regulation, the tariff deviations that exist between the allowed revenues recalculated based on the real amounts and the invoiced ones.
Taking in consideration the regulatory framework described above, the tariff deviations determined by the Group in each year meet a set of requirements (reliability of measurement, right to its recovery, possibility of transfer and interest rate incidence) which support their recognition as revenue, and as an asset, in the year in which they are determined. Such rationale is also applicable when tariff deviations to be delivered (payable) are determined, which are regarded as liabilities and less revenue.
iii) Services – Regarding the provision of infrastructure operation and maintenance services, given that customers simultaneously receive and consume the economic benefits arising from the Group's performance as it develops its activity, the performance obligation in these cases is satisfied over time, and therefore, the revenue is recognized in the moment when the Group is entitled to invoice for the services provided, as there is no significant time gap between the moment the services are provided and the moment they are invoiced.
iv) Energy - In this business subarea, under the contracts entered into, the Group sells, namely to energy managing network companies, the energy that it produces. Thus, each energy sale contract is considered an autonomous performance obligation. On the other hand, since the customers simultaneously receive and consume the economic benefits arising from the Group's performance as it carries out its activity (energy production), the Group's performance obligation in these situations is satisfied throughout time, being the revenue recognized when the Group is entitled to invoice it.
Generally, and due to the type of services rendered by the Group, the allocation of the price to the different performance obligations is already defined in the contracts established with the customers.
Whenever there is a significant time lag (more than 12 months) between the moment in which a good or service becomes available to the customer and the moment in which it is paid, the Group assesses the existence of a significant financing component in the contract. If such component exists, it is considered as an autonomous performance obligation, being the respective interest recognized as income throughout the estimated financing period.
Additionally, the Group also assesses the existence of a significant financing component in the advances received from customers. If such component exists, it is considered as an autonomous performance obligation, being the respective interest recognized as an expense throughout the estimated financing period.
In order to determine the total amount of revenue of a contract, the Group takes into consideration all variable components of it, namely, discounts, bonus, price revisions, penalties, costs recovery requests, among others. Nevertheless, the Group only recognizes revenue associated with variable components when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of said revenue will not occur in the future. Therefore, in what concerns price revisions, since the calculation formula inherent to its quantification generally includes some indices of difficult estimation, the revenue associated is only recognized when it can be reliably measured. Similarly, since historically the Group has not been subject to penalties applied by its customers, those are only recognized when their occurrence is highly probable to occur. Lastly, the costs recovery requests (which include claims, among others) are only recognized as revenue when it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur in the future.
Contract assets correspond to the performance obligations already fulfilled by the Group under the scope of the contracts established with customers for which the respective invoice has not yet been issued (essentially production executed under construction contracts recognized by the cost-to-cost method). When the right to its receipt is unconditional, the balance of this caption is transferred to the caption "Customers and other debtors" or compensated with the respective advance payment received.
Contract liabilities correspond to advances received from customers associated with performance obligations to be fulfilled by the Group in the future or to deferred income arising from the adoption of the cost-to-cost method, namely, in construction contracts in progress.
Advance payments received from customers are recorded under current liabilities or non-current liabilities, in accordance with the expected invoicing profile of the contracts established with the customers.
The costs associated with the fulfilment of a contract are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when:
Therefore, the disbursements required for the award of a future contract, as well as the costs with direct labour, materials and other indirect costs or other specific costs with the set-up, mobilization and demobilization of construction sites associated with construction contracts are recognized under this caption.
The costs associated with the fulfilment of a contract for a customer are recognized throughout the period of the construction contract, or during the period of fulfilment of the performance obligation that originated them, under operating expenses captions.
When it is probable that the total costs foreseen for completing a construction contract exceed the revenue defined therein, the expected loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement of the year.
When there are advances received from customers regarding contracts denominated in foreign currency, the revenue associated with such advances is recognized at the exchange rate of the date of its receipt.
At initial recognition, all transactions in foreign currency are recorded in the functional currency of the respective entity through the application to the amount in foreign currency of the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency as of the transaction date.
At the end of each reporting period: a) monetary items expressed in foreign currency are translated at the closing exchange rate; b) non-monetary items which are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date; and c) non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or from the translation of monetary items at rates which were different from those used to translate them in the initial recognition or, in previous financial statements, are recognized in the income statement of the year, unless they arise from monetary items that are part of the net investment in a foreign operating unit. In this case, the exchange differences are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified to the consolidated net profit of the year when the control of that operational unit is lost.
Exchange differences related to investment / financing transactions (financial) are recorded under the sub-captions "Financial income and gains" and "Financial costs and losses".
xchange differences related to operating transactions are recorded under a sub caption of " ther operating income / (expenses)".
In the preparation process of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the results, the cash-flows and the financial position of the entities included in the consolidation perimeter have been translated to Euro at the exchange rates detailed in item h) of Note 1.2..
Income tax for the year is determined based on the taxable profit of the companies included in the consolidation (in accordance with the tax rules in force in the country where they operate) and considers deferred taxes.
Deferred taxes are determined based on the balance sheet liability method and refer to existing temporary differences between the amounts of the assets and liabilities reported for accounting purposes and their respective amounts for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined and assessed annually using the tax rates in force, or announced to be in force, at the date of the reversal of the temporary differences.
Deferred tax liabilities are recorded for all taxable temporary differences with the exception of non-tax-deductible goodwill; the differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not affect either the accounting profit or the tax profit; the differences related with investments in subsidiaries, to the extent that they are not likely to reverse in the future. On the other hand, the deferred tax assets are recorded when it is probable that there will be enough expected taxable profits in the future to cover the taxable temporary differences. Lastly, after 1 January 2023, following the change in IAS 12- Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities that result from a single transaction, the Group started to disclose the breakdown of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities linked with: i) right of use assets and lease liabilities; and ii) provisions for the dismantling and decommissioning of the correspondent fixed assets, when its values are not deductible until the payment date.
The offset between deferred tax assets and liabilities is only allowed when: (i) the Group has the legal right to offset such assets and liabilities for settlement purposes; (ii) such assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority; and (iii) the Group intends to offset them for settlement purposes.
The amount of taxes to be recognized, both in current tax and deferred tax, arising from transactions or events recognized under captions of other comprehensive income is recorded directly under these same captions, not affecting the net profit of the year.
The amount of taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements corresponds to the Group's assessment over the tax treatment applicable to specific transactions, being liabilities related to income tax or other type of taxes recognized based on the interpretation that is made and which is considered to be the most appropriate.
In the situations where such interpretations are challenged by the Tax Authorities, within the scope of their competences, as its interpretation is different from the one considered by the Group, that situation is subject to a reanalysis. In the case that such reanalysis reconfirms the Group's position, concluding that the probability of losing a certain tax lawsuit is lower than 50%, the Group treats the situation as a contingent liability, which results in the non-recognition of any amount of tax since the most probable decision is that no tax will be paid. In the situations where the probability of loss is higher than 50%, a liability is recognized, or, if the payment has already been made, the correspondent expense is recognized.
Provisions are recognized if, and only if, the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) arising from a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will occur to settle that obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are reviewed on each consolidated statement of financial position date and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate on that date (expected amount of the outflow to incur), taking in consideration the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates.
Provisions for onerous contracts - The present obligations arising from onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist when the Group is in a situation in which the inevitable costs to fulfil the contractual obligations exceeds the economic benefits expected to be received under that contract.
Provisions for work warranties - The provisions to deal with the costs to be incurred during the warranty period of the construction contracts are recorded as the construction revenue is recognized, according to the best estimate of the Board of Directors regarding the outflows required to fulfil that obligation.
Provisions for legal proceedings - The provisions for legal proceedings are recorded when the occurrence of an outflow of resources by the Group is probable, being those reassessed on an annual basis taking in consideration the opinion of the respective lawyers / legal consultants in charge of the processes.
a) Benefits granted to employees – current and non-current
A liability is recognized to deal with the benefits granted to employees associated with wages, vacations and holiday pay in the period in which the employees provide the services, being it recognized by the amount of benefits expected to be paid.
Recognized liabilities concerning current benefits granted to employees are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services provided.
Recognized liabilities concerning non-current benefits granted to employees are measured at the present value of the future expected payments associated with the services provided by the employees up to the reporting date.
Government grants attributed to finance investments in tangible or intangible assets are deferred and recorded as liabilities. Investment grants are recognized in the consolidated income statement during the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets under the caption " ther operating income / (expenses)".
In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group's Board of Directors used its best knowledge and experience of past and / or current events, considering certain assumptions regarding future events.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (and the corresponding sources of uncertainty) include:
a) Fair value of land and buildings and investment properties and determination of the net realizable value of real estate assets recorded in inventories
The Group's real estate assets (namely land and buildings for own use) are measured through the revaluation method, or the fair value method, in the case of investment properties, which implies determining the respective fair value. Additionally, the real estate assets recorded under inventories that exhibit impairment indicators are subject to impairment tests, which consist in determining their net realisable value. The fair value and the net realisable value of those real estate assets is often determined through appraisals, which inevitably have underlying uncertainties associated with several factors, such as market prices, yields, demand, among others. To mitigate the effect of those uncertainties, the Board of Directors uses, whenever possible, qualified and independent appraisers to conduct the appraisals.
The information regarding the most relevant assumptions used in the determination of the fair value or the net realizable value for the main real estate assets held by the Group, as well as, the sensitivity of the corresponding results to some changes in the assumptions is disclosed in Notes 16, 21 and 22.
b) Fair value of the heavy equipment used in the Engineering and Construction business
Heavy equipment used in the Engineering and Construction business is measured through the revaluation method, which implies determining their respective fair value. The fair value of these assets is often determined through appraisals, which inevitably have underlying uncertainties associated with several factors, such as market prices, yields, demand, among others.
To mitigate the effect of those uncertainties, the Board of Directors uses, whenever possible, qualified and independent appraisers to conduct the appraisals.
c) Impairment analyses of goodwill, of investments in associated and joint ventures, of tangible and intangible assets
Impairment analyses require the determination of the fair value and / or the value in use of the respective assets (or of some C 's). This process requires a high number of assumptions, namely the estimation of future cash flows associated to the assets or the respective C 's, and the determination of an appropriate discount rate to compute the present value of those cash flows. Therefore, once again, the Group established as a requirement the usage of as much observable market data as possible. Furthermore, the Group also established monitoring mechanisms over the calculations based on the critical challenge of the assumptions used, on its coherence and consistency (in similar situations).
On the other hand, since the Group is currently developing a process leading to the assessment and quantification of climatic and transition risks that impact its activity, structured according with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines, currently there is not sufficient and trustworthy data about its future impacts, and so they were not considered in the impairment analysis previously mentioned.
The information regarding the most relevant assumptions used in the impairment analyses, as well as, the sensitivity of the corresponding results to some changes in the assumptions is disclosed in Notes 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19.
d) Determination of impairment losses in accounts receivable and in other financial investments recorded at amortized cost
Impairment losses in accounts receivable are determined in accordance with the described in Note 1.3. i). Furthermore, the determination of impairment through an individual analysis corresponds to the Group's judgment regarding the economic and financial situation of its customers and its estimate of the value attributed to potential existing guarantees, with the consequent impact on expected future cash flows. Similarly, the expected impairment losses in the credit granted and in other financial investments recorded at amortized cost are determined taking in consideration a set of historical information and assumptions (described in Note 45 for other financial investments recorded at amortized cost), which may not be representative of the future uncollectability of the Group's debtors.
The information regarding the most relevant assumptions used in the determination of the impairment losses in accounts receivable is disclosed in Notes 23 and 45.
e) Revenue recognition in construction contracts in progress
The revenue of construction contracts in progress is recognized based on the cost-to-cost method, i.e., according to the percentage of completion of the contract. The determination of the percentage of completion is a very relevant estimate based on the projections of costs to be incurred until the conclusion of the contracts. This process is based, essentially, in the inputs received from the technicians involved in the execution of the contracts, due to their detailed knowledge, their experience and their technical skills.
f) Valuation of financial instruments not traded in active markets or with low liquidity
In the valuation of financial instruments not traded in active markets (such as derivative financial instruments established by the Group and the shares of Banco Angolano de Investimento, S.A. – BAI), valuation techniques based on discounted cash flows and market multiplies were used.
The determination of the fair value of the derivate financial instruments is generally performed by the entities before which those instruments were established (counterparties). The Group's Board of Directors recognizes competence and objectivity to the counterparties. Moreover, the Group has also access to the main assumptions and methodologies used to determine the fair value of those instruments, and those assumptions and methodologies were considered appropriate.
The determination of the fair value of the shares of BAI, which are traded on a recently regulated market with limited liquidity, was performed taking in consideration its market price adjusted by other public information available regarding market transactions at Reuteurs / Bloomberg or other credible sources of financial data.
The information regarding the most relevant assumptions used in the valuation of the financial instruments not traded in active markets is disclosed in Notes 20 and 32.
g) Determination of the outcome of legal proceedings in progress
The outcome of the legal proceedings in progress, as well as, the respective need for provisions, is estimated based on the opinion of the Group's lawyers / legal advisers. The Group's lawyers / legal advisers have the technical skills and the detailed knowledge of the proceedings necessary to deal with the uncertainty inherent to the outcome of such proceedings (Note 37).
h) Measurement and recognition of deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the interpretation of the tax legislation in force in the several jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Therefore, changes in the tax legislation or in its interpretation by the competent authorities may impact the amount of the recognized taxes. On the other hand, the recognition of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of future positive results and tax basis. The recovery of deferred tax assets also depends upon the performance of the several entities included in the consolidation perimeter, situation which the Group does not fully control. In order to mitigate the degree of uncertainty associated to these estimates, particularly the one regarding the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation, the Group and the several companies included in its consolidation perimeter hire specialized external tax advisers.
As of the preparation date of these consolidated financial statements, it is not foreseen relevant changes to the income tax estimates and, consequently, there are no expected material changes, in assets or liabilities, taking into consideration those estimates.
The information regarding the most relevant assumptions used in the analysis of the deferred tax assets recovery, as well as, the sensitivity of the results to some changes in the assumptions is disclosed in Note 12.
i) Determination of the fair value of interests on previously held investments in associates at the date of obtaining control, of interests still retained in subsidiaries at the date of loss of control, as well as the fair value of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale
The computation of the fair value of the interests in previously held investments in associates at the date of obtaining control, of the interests still retained in subsidiaries at the date of loss of control, as well as the fair value of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale is perform using the sale price contractually established with the counterparties or using discounted cash flow models, with projections of income and costs for the entity involved, considering, among other things, discount rates and market inflation.
The several above mentioned estimates were determined based on the best available historical information at the date of preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The underlying judgments to those estimates took in consideration the overall economic environment of the sector and of the geography in which the several companies included in the consolidation perimeter operate, as well as their expected future developments. Due to its nature, those judgments are subject to a reasonable degree of uncertainty. Therefore, in subsequent periods, there may be situations which, due to their unforeseeable nature, were not taken in consideration in the estimates and which may produce an outcome different from the one expected. Changes in estimates occurred after the issuance date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements will be corrected in net profit prospectively, as per IAS 8.
At the preparation date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements no relevant changes in the estimates produced are foreseen and, therefore, no material changes in the recognized assets and liabilities based on those estimates are expected.
The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared in accordance with IAS 7, through the direct method. The Group classifies under the caption "Cash and cash equivalents" investments maturing in less than three months for which the risk of change in value is insignificant, excluding blocked sums of term deposits of concession companies assigned to the debt service, as well as, deposits given in guarantee under contractual clauses, which are recorded under the caption "Other financial applications". n the other hand, bank overdrafts are not included in the caption "Cash and cash equivalents" as they are not part of the roup's treasury management.
Operating activities comprise receipts from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to employees, and others related to operating activities. The cash flows related to investment activities include, essentially, acquisitions and disposals of investments in affiliates, as well as payments and receipts arising from the purchase and disposal of fixed assets, granted loans and the receipt of interests and dividends. The cash flows related to financing activities include, essentially, the payments and receipts related to loans obtained and leases, as well as the payment of interest and dividends.

Mota-Engil SGPS applies, since January 2010, the Special Tax egime for roups of Companies (" egime special de Tributação dos Grupos de Sociedades – T S"), and therefore its current tax is calculated based on the taxable profits of the companies included in the consolidation and in that special regime, according to its rules.
RETGS includes all the subsidiaries held, directly or indirectly, at least by 75% of its share capital, located in Portugal and subject to the general regime of taxation established in the Portuguese Code of Corporate Income Tax (CIT).
For the companies not subject to that special tax regime, current tax is calculated based on the respective taxable profit determined in accordance with the tax rules in force at the location of the head office of each affiliated company.
Since January 1, 2007, municipalities began to be entitled to charge an annual municipal surcharge up to the maximum limit of 1.5% of the taxable profit subject to and not exempt from CIT. Therefore, in the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, Mota-Engil SGPS and its subsidiaries located in Portugal were subject to a CIT rate of 21%, plus a municipal surcharge at a maximum rate of 1.5% applicable to the taxable profit, reaching a maximum aggregate tax rate of, approximately, 22.5%.
Additionally, in the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the taxable profits of the affiliated companies located in Portugal that exceeded 1,500,000 euros were subject to a state surcharge determined in accordance with article 87 - A of the Portuguese Code of CIT, at the following rates:
Furthermore, in the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the deduction of the net financing costs in the determination of the taxable profit became limited to the highest of the following thresholds:
On the other hand, in accordance with article 88 of the Portuguese Code of CIT, the affiliated companies located in Portugal are additionally subject to an autonomous taxation over a set of costs at the rates provided for in the aforesaid article.
Lastly, following the entry into force of Law No. 45-A/2024, of December 31, in order to determine deferred tax assets / liabilities, the rates of 20% (for tax losses and tax credits carried forward – 21% in the year ended 31 December 2023) and 21.5% (for the remaining temporary differences – 22.5% in the year ended 31 December 2023) were used since those rates are estimated to be the ones in force at the date of the reversal of the respective temporary differences.
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the reconciliation between the nominal and the effective income tax rate can be analysed as follows:
| 2024 | Rate | Tax basis | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal tax rate and tax on income | 22.5% | 411,144 | 92,507 |
| Results of associates and joint ventures recorded by the equity method | (0.4)% | (7,502) | (1,688) |

| Effective rate and income tax | 32.8% | 129,847 |
The amounts included under the caption "Different nominal tax rates" are justified, essentially, by the fact that companies located outside Portugal are subject to tax rates different from 22.5%.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the nominal tax rates in force in the main countries in which the Group operates, which were also the basis for the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, since those rates are estimated to be the ones in force at the date of reversal of the respective temporary differences, were as follows:
| Rate | ||
|---|---|---|
| Country | 2024 | 2023 |
| South Africa | 27% | 27% |
| Angola | 25% | 25% |
| Brazil | 34% | 34% |
| Colombia | 35% | 35% |
| Ivory Coast | 25% | 25% |
| Guine | 25% | 25% |
| Malawi | 35% | 35% |
| Mexico | 30% | 30% |
| Mozambique | 32% | 32% |
| Nigéria | 30% | 30% |
| Peru | 29,5% | 29,5% |
| Poland | 19% | 19% |
| Rwanda | 28% | 30% |
Pursuant to the national legislation in force, tax returns are subject to review and correction by tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have occurred, tax benefits have been granted or inspections, claims or other objections are under way, situations in which, depending on the circumstances, those periods are extended or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns of the Group companies located in Portugal, for the years 2021 to 2024, may still be subject to review and correction. Nevertheless, the roup's Board of Directors is of the opinion that potential corrections arising from different interpretations of the legislation in force by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Furthermore, it is the Group's Board of Directors belief, supported by its lawyers and tax consultants, that there are no material liabilities related with tax contingencies, taking into consideration the dispositions of IFRIC - 23 – Uncertainties on the income tax treatment, that should give rise to the recognition of provisions or the need to disclose them in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Finally, in November 2024, Law No. 41/2024 was published, which transposed into national law the Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 15 December 2022, with the aim of ensuring a worldwide minimum level of taxation of 15% for groups of multinational entities and large national groups in the European Union, in all jurisdictions where they operate, with consolidated annual revenues equal to or greater than 750 million euros, approving the so-called Global Minimum Tax Regime ("RIMG"), commonly known as "Pillar II".
The main elements of Pillar II are the IIR (Income Inclusion Rule), the UTPR (Undertaxed Profit Rule) – operating as a secondary and complementary rule to the IIR – and the option for each country to implement a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax (QDMTT), which will be offset against the top-up tax resulting from the IIR.
On the other hand, Pillar II also provides for a temporary safe harbour provision based on the Country-by-Country Report (CbCR) to avoid increasing the administrative burden for multinational groups subject to Pillar II. This temporary safe harbour is a short term measure applicable only until 2026 fiscal year.
Considering the above mentioned, the Group, in the year ended 31 December 2024, was subject to this new tax regulation having consequently assessed the potential impact of the top-up tax in the jurisdictions where it operated.
However, as a result of the assessment performed, combining the transitional safe harbour rules based on the CbCR, with the determination of the minimum effective tax rate, no additional taxes were identified in 2024 as a result of the application of Pillar II rules.
Lastly, regarding the deferred taxes related to the adoption of the new rules, the Group applied the recognition and disclosure exception as provided for in the amendement to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.
Mota-Engil, SGPS only issued ordinary shares and so there are no special rights to dividends or voting rights.
There are no situations in the Group which might lead to a reduction of earnings per share as a result of options, warrants, convertible bonds or other rights linked with ordinary shares. Therefore, there is no dissimilarity between the calculation of basic earnings per share and the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the share capital of Mota-Engil SGPS amounted to 306,775,950 euros and was represented by 306,775,950 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 euro each.
Therefore, in the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the calculation of the earnings per share may be analysed as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated net profit of the year attributable to the Group | (I) | 122,688 | 113,153 |
| Number of shares outstanding at the begining of the year | 306,775,950 | 306,775,950 | |
| Number of shares outstanding at the end of the year | 306,775,950 | 306,775,950 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares | (II) | 306,775,950 | 306,775,950 |
| Weighted average number of own shares | (III) | 6,091,581 | 6,091,581 |
| Average number of shares outstanding | (II - III) | 300,684,369 | 300,684,369 |
| Earnings per share: | |||
| basic | (I) / (II - III) | 0.408 € | 0.3 6 € |
| diluted | (I) / (II - III) | 0.408 € | 0.3 6 € |

In the year ended 31 December 2023, the changes in Goodwill due to changes in the perimeter, occurred in the Suma Group, were due to the sale of its industrial waste business (Note 42).
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the transfers of Goodwill at Mota – Engil Central Europe Poland resulted from its classification as a non-current asset available for sale (Note 28).
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the methods and the main assumptions used in the assessment over the existence, or not, of impairment for the most significant amounts of goodwill recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, were as follows:
| 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Assumptions | ECB* |
| Method used | Value in use |
| Basis used | Forecasts with perpetuity |
| Period used | 5 years |
| Growth rate of sales: | |
| Year n+1 | 53.9% |
| Year n+3 | 10.0% |
| In perpetuity | 3.0% |
| Discount rate used | 15.1% |
* Valuation expressed in local currency
| 2023 | |
|---|---|
| Assumptions | ECB* |
| Method used | Value in use |
| Basis used | Forecasts with perpetuity |
| Period used | 5 years |
| Growth rate of sales: | |
| Year n+1 | 23.8% |
| Year n+3 | 9.1% |
| In perpetuity | 3.0% |
| Discount rate used | 15.0% |
* Valuation expressed in local currency
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the sensitivity of the results of the impairment tests performed to goodwill to the most significant assumptions, namely to the discount rate, to the sales growth rate in perpetuity and to the projected cash-flows was as follows (impact on the recoverable amount of the net assets to which the goodwill was assigned):
| in million Euros | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | ||||||
| Sensitivity to key assumptions | ||||||
| Discount rate | Sales growth rate in perpetuity | Projected cash-flows | ||||
| 0.5% | (0.5)% | 0.5% | (0.5)% | 5.0% | (5.0)% | |

| ECB | (5,333) | 5,802 | 3,779 | (3,477) | 6,188 | (6,188) |
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, if a discount rate higher in 0.5% or a sales growth rate in perpetuity lower in 0.5% or projected cash-flows lower in 5% had been used, the results of the above-mentioned tests would not lead to the recognition of any impairment losses.
The value in use refers to the estimation of the present value of future cash flows of the respective C 's, determined based on budgets and business plans duly approved by the Group's Board of Directors, which cover, on average, a period of five years.
In general terms, the assumptions used in the determination of the value in use were the following: (i) the cash inflows arising from sales were projected based on historical knowledge of the business, in market analyses, both in terms of growth and market share, in the backlog already awarded, as well as, in the prospects of obtaining new contracts in the future, based on historical probabilities of success; (ii) the operating margin was projected based on historical data and on management experience and knowledge; (iii) cash flows after the projection period were extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate similar to the inflation rate expected for the market where the affiliate operates; and (iv) estimated cash flows were discounted at their present value using a weighted average cost of capital rate.

In the year ended 31 December 2024, the main increases / disposals / write-offs in intangible assets were related with the investment plan of the EGF Subgroup companies, and, in the increases component, to the investments made by one concessionaire company (of logistics parks) in Mexico (approximately, 12,000 thousand euros).
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the main increases / disposals / write-offs in intangible assets were related with the investment plan of the EGF Subgroup companies, and, in the increases component, to the investments made by the concessionaire companies (of motorways and amusement parks) in Mexico (approximately, 117,000 thousand euros).
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the changes in perimeter in intangible assets were essentially related to the classification at the end of 2023 of Mexican concessionaire companies to non-current assets held for sale (approximately, 148.000 thousand euros – Note 28).

At the end of 2014, a decision was announced which declared Suma the winner of the public tender for the privatisation of 95% of the share capital of EGF, entity that manages the concession operators of multi-municipal systems for the treatment and recovery of municipal solid waste in Portugal. After obtaining a no-objection statement from the Competition Authority, the privatisation process was completed by the end of the first half of 2015 and EGF and its subsidiaries were consolidated in Mota-Engil Group after July 1, 2015.
Concessions granted on an exclusive basis for 19 years to the companies of the EGF Subgroup (Algar, Amarsul, Ersuc, Resistrela, Resinorte, Resulima, Suldouro, Valnor, Valorlis, Valorminho and Valorsul) will end in 2034.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, approximately, 66% and 65%, respectively, of the total amount of the concessions operation rights of EGF Subgroup was justified by 5 concessionaires (Valorsul, Ersuc, Resinote, Algar and Amarsul).
The activity covered by the concessions comprises the treatment of municipal waste produced in the user municipalities, including their recovery and the provision of by-products, as well as, the selective collection of municipal waste. Municipalities are required to provide concessionaires with all municipal waste whose management is under their responsibility.
The supervision of the concessions is the responsibility of ERSAR, which is empowered to set the tariffs to be applied, as well as, to approve the regulated accounts. On the other hand, from 2021 onwards, the investment plans of the concessionaires started to be approved by the Grantor instead of ERSAR.
The operation and management of the concessions also includes the design, construction, acquisition, extension, repair, renewal, maintenance and optimisation of the works and equipment's necessary for the execution of the business of the concessionaires.
The concession basis determine that concessionaires will have as its main activity the operation and management of the multimunicipal system of urban waste, including the treatment of urban waste arising from the undifferentiated collection, as well as, the selective collection of urban waste, including its sorting, and as complementary activities, concessionaires will have activities that, although not being part of its main activity, use assets related thereto, enabling the optimisation of the corresponding profitability. The performance of complementary activities depends upon authorisation from the Grantor, after the opinions of the Competition Authority and of ERSAR.
The assets considered to be assigned to the concession are as follows:
Infrastructures related to the treatment and recovery of undifferentiated and selective urban waste, as well as, assets used in the selective collection of urban waste: transfer stations, eco-centers, plants for processing, sorting and recovery and corresponding points of access, related infrastructures, landfills, eco points and waste transport vehicles;
Equipment required to operate infrastructures and to monitor and control its use;
All works, machines and apparatuses and corresponding accessories used to collect and treat waste and to maintain equipment and management of the system that were not mentioned above;
Equipment, machines, vehicles, apparatuses and corresponding accessories used to collect urban waste selectively.
In addition, the following assets are also considered to be assigned to the concession:
Property purchased using the private right or by means of expropriation to set infrastructures;
Exclusive rights of intellectual and industrial property that the concessionaires hold;
Other assets and rights related to the continuity of the operations of the concessions, such as the ones related to labour, construction, lease and provision of services.
Concessionaires should prepare and keep an inventory of assets and rights related to the concessions and should send annually to ERSAR detailed information regarding them, as well as, the write-offs carried out.
During the period in force of the concessions, the concessionaires have the obligation to keep the assets in proper conditions of operation, conservation and safety, performing all repairs, renewals and adjustments necessary to keep assets in the required technical conditions.
The concessionaires have the right to use the assets related to the concessions until their extinguishment. Assets assigned to the concessions can only be used for the purposes foreseen in the concessions. At the extinguishment date of the concessions, assets assigned are reverted to an inter-municipal entity, to the Association of Municipalities, to the group of using municipalities, or to the State, through the exercise of the corresponding option right and the payment to the concessionaires, under the terms established in the basis and on the concession contracts, of a compensation that corresponds to the net book value of those assets, net of grants.
Concessionaires are liable for the risks inherent to the concessions under the applicable law, assuming the corresponding operating risks. On the other hand, the concessionaires are liable for the financing to develop the concession object, in order to meet all obligations established in the concession contracts in due time, assuming also the corresponding investment and financing risks.
The remuneration regime of the concessions is based on the recognition to concessionaires of allowed revenues that should be reflected in the tariffs to be applied to the users of the system.
Revenues allowed to concessionaires within the scope of the regulated activity are set by ERSAR for a period of three to five years (" egulatory period"). The regulatory model is set by SA and is based on the following assumptions, among others:
Eligibility of operating costs, for the purposes of determination of allowed revenues, by reference to a context of operation production efficiency and management of the municipal system;
Return on capital based on the weighted average cost, with parameters set by reference to market values and in accordance with the performance of comparable representative entities;
Definition of an asset basis comprised by the assets allocated to the concessions as a basis for the capital remuneration;
Adoption of mechanisms to promote efficiency; and
Suitable impact on allowed revenues of the differences recorded between the estimated quantities and the quantities of urban waste delivered to the concessionaires.
Furthermore, the definition of the operating cost basis should take in consideration its effective control by the concessionaires, the technologies and capacity installed, as well as, the fluctuations in demand.
Therefore, tariffs to be applied to the users must provide concessionaires with the allowed revenues determined under the terms of the previous basis and correspond to the division between the allowed revenues attributed each year to the concessionaires by the estimated delivered quantities for that year.
Concession contracts can be terminated by the Grantor if one of the following situations occurs, with a significant impact on the concession operations: deviation from the purpose of the concession; long-lasting interruption of operation due to a fact attributable to the concessionaires; repeated objection to supervision or repeated non-compliance with the instructions of the Grantor, or if laws and regulations applicable to the operation are not fully complied; refusal to carry out a proper conservation and repair of the infrastructures; repeated collection of amounts that exceed those set in the concession contracts and in the contracts entered into with users; dissolution or insolvency of the concessionaires; unauthorised transfer of the concession or sub concession; unauthorised disposal of the share capital of concessionaires; encumbrance of the share capital of the concessionaires that breach provisions in the concession contracts; unauthorised increase or decrease, when applicable, in the share capital of the concessionaires; lack of provision of guarantees or its renewal under the terms and deadlines foreseen; and concessionaires refusal or impossibility to resume concessions.
In addition, the Grantor can bail out the concessions, assuming the direct management of the granted public service, whenever this arises for public interest and after at least two thirds of the contract term, with at least one year in advance in relation to the date the bailout takes effect.
As a result of the bailout, concessionaires are entitled to a compensation that must take in consideration the net book value on the bailout date of the regulated assets, net of grants, the amount of existing credits, as well as, the amount of future non realized profits, considering the remaining number of years until the term of the concession.
On the other hand, during 2020, was renewed to Mamaland (formerly known as Empresa Agrícola e Florestal) the right of surface and to exploit for 60 years a plot of land located in Cabinda, with an area of circa of 16,000 hectares, intended for the agroforestry business. That right has been provisionally granted for 5 years, becoming effective if certain conditions are met. In addition, that right may be renewable for another 60 years, provided that none of the parties terminates it one year before the date of expiration, when it will revert to the State of Angola. In this business, the risk of demand is fully assumed by Mamaland.
Additionally, in September 2018, it was awarded to Ecoeburnie a concession for the collection and treatment of urban waste in Abidjan, in Ivory Coast, during a period of 7 years. In this concession, the remuneration of Ecoeburnie is indexed to the quantities of waste collected and treated, which exposes it to the risk of demand. At the end of the concession, the assets assigned to it will revert to the Grantor in exchange of the receipt of their net book value.
Also in Ivory Coast, and related to the concession described above, it was awarded to Clean Eburnie a concession to operate a landfill for a period of 7 years. In this concession, the remuneration of Clean Eburnie consists of two stakes: (i) an unconditional fixed rent independent of the amount of waste deposited in the landfill (and which was treated according to the financial asset model -see Note 23); and (ii) a variable rent based on the amount of waste deposited at the landfill (which was treated according to the intangible asset model). At the end of the concession, the assets assigned to it will revert to the Grantor.
Finally, in 2010, Mozambique State granted to Estradas do Zambeze the right to operate two bridges and some roads for a period of 30 years. In this concession, the remuneration of Estradas do Zambeze consisted in the receipt of a guaranteed minimum net amount that would allow it to, at least, cope with the debt service, the operating and maintenance costs of the conceded assets, as well as, the major repairs to be carried out in the future on such assets. However, in April 2015, as a result of the contestation from local economic agents, the tolls on some of those infrastructures were suspended by the Mozambican Government, and after that date, and until the conclusion of the renegotiation process of the concession that took place in 2024, Estradas do Zambeze was, under the provisions of the concession contract, receiving in full the tolls charged on the remaining infrastructure.
Following the conclusion of the renegotiation process mentioned above, the following rights/responsibilities were established:
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the most significant amounts included in the caption "Assets in progress" regard to the following projects:
| Description | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis and development of Jorge Luque project (Generadora Fenix) | 73,149 | 81,762 |
| Slaughterhouse Exploration (Oriental Hub) | 23,695 | 9,571 |

| Other ongoing investments made by companies of the Subgroup EGF | 8,391 | 13,825 |
| 117,046 | 108,244 |
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, in what concerns the assets included in the caption "Concessions operation rights", these cannot be traded without the previous approval of the Concession grantor and of the Regulator (in the case of the companies of EGF Subgroup). On the other hand, as of 31 December 2024, as a result of the presentation of a new investment plan for the 2025-2027 regulatory period, aligned with the targets set by PERSU 2030, there were commitments linked with the execution of future investments in the amount of approximately, 413,000 thousand euros (77,000 thousand euros at 31 December 2023).
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, there were approximately, 55,000 thousand euros and 46,000 thousand euros, respectively, of intangible assets whose assets were pledged as collateral to the respective creditors.
The assessment over the existence of impairment indicators in intangible assets and the execution of the corresponding tests, if applicable, were performed on an annual basis as referred to in Note 1.3.e).
In order to assess the existence of impairment indicators in intangible assets, the following topics were considered by the Group:
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the methods and the main assumptions used by the Group in the execution of the impairment tests regarding the intangible assets which presented indicators of impairment were as follows:
| Jorge Luque | ||||

| Discount rate used (pre-tax) | 15.90% | 13.51% | ||
| Net amount of the asset | 73,149 | 81,762 |
The Jorge Luque project, which is in its final stage of construction, corresponds to the construction of a combined cycle plant in Mexico with a maximum capacity of 110 MW (37 MW on a first stage), under a concession contract.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, if a discount rate higher in 0.5%, or a sales growth rate lower in 0.5%, or projected cashflows lower in 5% had been used, the results of the above-mentioned tests would not lead to the recognition of any impairment losses.

| Discount rate used (pre-tax): | 15.02% | 14.55% | ||
| Net amount of the asset (a) | 51,260 | 47,224 |
(a} As of 31 December 2024, the net amount of the asset includes 46,389 thousand euros of "Concession operation rights" and 4,871 thousand euros of "Assets in progress".
In the financial year ended 31 December 2024, the increase in the average sales growth rate, compared to 2023, resulted from the combined effect of using the same quantities sold with a different selling price.
As referred above, Mamaland is dedicated to agricultural and forestry activities in Cabinda, namely the cocoa production.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, if a discount rate higher in 0.5%, or a sales growth rate lower in 0.5%, or projected cashflows lower in 5% had been used, the results of the above-mentioned tests would not lead to the recognition of any impairment losses.

| Net amount of the CGU | 377,105 |
(a) Net assets used in the waste treatment and recovery activity developed by the concessionaires of EGF Subgroup.
Finally, as a result of the review and corrections made by ERSAR to the regulated accounts of 2022 and 2023 of EGF's concessionaires, no material impacts were generated in 2024 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the high amount in the regulated asset basis estimated for 2034 was justified, essentially, by the need to meet the targets set in PERSU2030, which will require a much higher level of investment than in previous regulatory periods.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, if a higher discount rate in 0.25% or a lower regulated average asset basis (RAB) in 5% had been used, the results of the above-mentioned tests would not lead to the recognition of impairment losses.

The information regarding the gross amount of tangible assets at 31 December 2024 and 2023 can be analysed as follows:
In the year ended 31 December 2024, the increases in tangible assets were mainly justified by the investments performed in Angola and Nigeria in the engineering and construction segment, as well as, by the investments performed in Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal and Mozambique in the industrial engineering segment.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the increases in tangible assets were mainly justified by the investments performed in Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa and Senegal associated with the industrial engineering segment, as well as, by the investments performed in Nigeria, Mexico, Guinea and Angola in the engineering and construction segment.
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the disposals of tangible assets were essentially justified by the Mozambique Branch of Mota-Engil Engenharia e Construção África (in 2024 and 2023), by Empresa Construtora do Brasil (in 2024 and 2023), by Mota-Engil Mexico (in 2024), by Mota-Engil Peru (in 2024) and by Mota-Engil Railway (in 2023).
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the amounts included in the caption " evaluations" were justified by the update of the revalued amount of a set of land and buildings of own use held by the Group in Angola and in Portugal and, in the case of 2024, essentially, from the update of the revalued cost of the heavy equipment's used in the engineering and construction segment.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the exchange differences were justified, essentially, by the devaluation of the Angolan kwanza and the Malawian kwacha.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the amount recorded under the caption "Changes in perimeter" was mainly due to the reclassification of the tangible assets of Mota-Engil Central Europe Poland and the ones of the Mexican concessionaire companies to "Non-current assets / liabilities held for sale" (Note 28).
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the amounts recorded under the caption "Transfers and other movements" were mainly related to the transfer of certain equipment to/from the caption "Right of use assets" (Note 17) and, additionally, in 2024, to the transfer of the land of the affiliated company Logz to "Investment properties" (Note 21).

The assessment over the existence of impairment indicators in tangible assets and the execution of the corresponding tests, if applicable, were performed on an annual basis as referred to in Note 1.3.e).
In order to assess the existence of impairment indicators in tangible assets, the following topics were considered by the Group:
The Group's land and buildings (real estate properties) for own use are recorded at fair value, having part of them been subject to revaluations in 2024 or in 2023. According to the Group's policy, this type of real estate properties must be subject to revaluation, at least, every three years.
The appraisals of the land and buildings were carried out in accordance with one of the following methods, used according to the specific situation of each asset:
The criterion for market comparison is based on the value of transactions of similar real estate properties that can be compared to the property under examination obtained through market research in the area where the property is located.
This method consists in estimate the value of the property from the capitalisation of its net rent, discounted to the present moment, using the discounted cash flows method.
The cost method consists in the determination of the replacement value of the property under analysis taking in consideration the construction cost of another property with similar functionalities deducted from the amount related to functional, physical and economic depreciation / obsolescence observed.
The majority of the appraisals performed were carried out by external and specialised entities, which, for the assets located in Portugal, are accredited by the Comissão dos Mercados dos Valores Mobiliários (CMVM).
Regarding the appraisals performed to the real estate properties located in Angola, those were also carried out by an independent and specialized entity, accredited by the Comissão de Mercado de Capitais de Angola that integrates an international group that provides that kind of services.
The most significant inputs used in the appraisals of the above referred real estate properties were as follows:
The most relevant information regarding the appraisals performed in 2024 and 2023 to the main real estate properties held by the Group can be summarised as follows:

If an increase occurs in the sale price per square meter, in the rent price per square meter / month or a decrease occurs in the capitalization / discount rate, the fair value of the real estate properties will increase. On the other hand, if a decrease occurs in the sale price per square meter, in the rent price per square meter / month or an increase occurs in the capitalization / discount rate, the fair value of the real estate properties will decrease.
Although the above-mentioned appraisals were carried out based on market data and transactions (essentially released by real estate agencies), their reduced liquidity and the different characteristics of each property do not allow to qualify the market as active. Thus, the determination of the fair value of the Group's real estate properties falls under the level 3 of IFRS 13.
The fair value of the heavy equipment´s is determined individually, through the market comparative method or through the depreciation replacement cost method.
The market comparative method consists in determining the market value of the equipments by consulting the prices used in traded assets, with the same or similar characteristics and traded in the local and international markets in the last six months. For that, several sources were consulted namely in the concrete, transports, cargo handling, pavements, ore, and construction sectors.
The depreciation replacement cost method consists in determining the value of replacing the equipment under analysis taking into consideration the cost of acquiring another with similar functions, deducted from the amount of the functional, physical and economic depreciation / obsolescence verified.
The most relevant inputs used in the appraisals of heavy equipment´s were as follows:
The appraisals performed to the heavy equipment´s were essentially based on the market comparative method and, although they were based in data and market transactions, their liquidity and the distinct characteristics of each equipment do not allow for the qualification of the market as active. Thus, the determination of the fair value of the Group´s heavy equipment´s falls under the level 3 of IFRS 13.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023,the carrying amount which would have been recognised if the tangible assets of the Group had been recorded pursuant to the cost model, would be as follows:

As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group held approximately, 21 million euros and 124 million euros, respectively, of sovereign bonds of Angola (only in 2023), Mozambique (2024 and 2023) and Ivory Coast (only in 2023), having these ones been given to the Group, and not acquired, in order to settle accounts receivable generated in the past with the construction and waste management services rendered to public entities in Angola, Mozambique and Ivory Coast.
In previous years, the Group purchased a financial investment of 3% in BAI – Banco Angolano de Investimentos, S.A..
With reference to 31 December 2024 and 2023, following its listing on the stock exchange in June 2022, the Group began to determine the fair value of that financial investment through the market price available on BODIVA, adjusted, given the scarce number of transactions and the very significant dispersion of prices, by market multiples arising from transactions that took place in recent years in Angola and on the African continent (Price-to-Book Value and Price to Earnings), using 44 transactions that took place in markets with foreign capital restrictions (37 in the year of 2023). The price adjustment corresponded to the simple average of the two multiples previously mentioned, each of them being also determined by the simple average between the maximum and minimum values of the observed transactions.
As a result of the above calculations, the Group, in 2024 and 2023, increased the fair value of the above-mentioned investment by, approximately, 7,500 thousand euros and reduced it by, approximately, 5,100 thousand euros, respectively.
As of 31 December 2024, in case the average Price-to-Book Value and the Price to Earnings were higher or lower than 10%, the fair value of the financial investment in BAI would increase or decrease by, approximately, 4,300 thousand euros (approximately, 3,500 thousand euros on 31 December 2023), respectively.

If an increase occurs in the sale price per square meter, in the rent per square meter / month or a decrease occurs in the capitalization / discount rate, the fair value of the investment properties will increase. On the other hand, if a decrease occurs in the sale price per square meter, in the rent per square meter / month or an increase occurs in the capitalization / discount rate, the fair value of the investment properties will decrease.
Although the above mentioned appraisals were carried out based on market data and transactions (essentially disclosed by real estate agencies), their reduced liquidity and the different characteristics of each real estate property do not allow to qualify the market as active. Therefore, the determination of the fair value of the Group's investment properties falls under the level 3 of IFRS 13.

As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, expected credit impairment losses were recorded for accounts receivable, which were determined taking in consideration a collectability matrix based on the credit history of the debtors of the Group over the last five years, adjusted by specific factors attributable to the debtors, as well as, by the forecasted macroeconomic conditions for the future. Furthermore, on those dates, adjustments to accounts receivable were also recorded for impairment losses incurred when there was objective evidence that the Group would not collect the full amounts to which it was entitled pursuant to the original terms of the established contracts. The adjustments are determined considering the age of the accounts receivable, the risk profile of the debtor, as well as its economic-financial condition. On the other hand, for the accounts receivable whose expected time of collection exceeds one year, the Group proceeded to the financial discount of those balances to its present value (considering an additional term between one and two years to recover the credit) and discount rates between 4.4% and 34.1% in the Africa – E&C segment (4.4% and 34.1% in the year of 2023).
The exposure of the Group to credit risk is attributable, mostly, to the accounts receivable generated by its operating activity.
It is the Group's Board of Directors belief that the amount at which those assets are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position is near to its fair value.

In the year ended 31 December 2023, following a reorganisation of its concession portfolio, Mota-Engil Group entered into an agreement with its business partner in Mexico whereby it undertook to partially divest (with loss of control) a set of financial interests it holds in Mexican concessionaire companies (Concesionária Tultepec, Aifa Pirámides, CMRO Nayarit, Azpau Entretenimiento and Mota-Engil Aeropuertos) during the year 2024. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the abovementioned companies were reclassified on 31 December 2023 to these captions.
Following the above-mentioned, during the first half of 2024, that reorganization was mostly completed, and so the above mentioned investments started to be recorded under the caption "Financial investments in joint ventures" and started to be consolidated using the equity method, with the exception of Concesionária Tultepec, which is still classified as available for sale (Note 42).

On the other hand, in December 2023, Mota-Engil Group entered into a promissory purchase and sale agreement, with a third party, regarding the construction and real estate development operations it had been developing in Poland, and so it classified the assets and liabilities of the companies involved under these captions. This transaction was concluded during September 2024 (Notes 11 and 42).

The "Fair value reserve – Financial investments" reflects the changes in the fair value of financial assets recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.
The "Fair value reserve – Fixed assets" cannot be distributed to shareholders unless it has been fully amortised or if the respective revalued assets have been disposed off.

Mota-Engil Group periodically monitors its capital structure, identifying risks, opportunities and the necessary adjustment measures to achieve the above referred goals.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, Mota-Engil Group presented an accounting gearing of 49% and 63%, respectively.

The determination of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments entered by the Group was carried out by the respective counterparties, which are considered to be respectable / independent financial entities of recognised merit. The valuation models employed were based on the discounted cash flow method, using par rates of swaps, listed on the interbank market and available on Reuters and Bloomberg pages for the relevant periods, being calculated the respective forward rates and discount factors which were used to discount the fixed cash flows (fixed leg) and variable cash flows (floating leg). The sum of the two legs determines the net present value (NPV). Regarding options, the Black-Scholes model and the volatility data available on Reuters and Bloomberg pages were used.
Following the above-mentioned, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments entered by the Group was determined based on valuation techniques whose main inputs can be observed in the market, and so it can be included in level 2 of IFRS 13.

As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, there were no agreements or protective rights established with minority shareholders that limit the use or realization of the assets listed above by the Group.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group assumed responsibilities related to pension plans with defined benefits towards some former employees and towards current and former management founding shareholders. These last ones are beneficiaries of a pension plan with defined benefits which broadly allow them to receive a pension equivalent to 80% of their salary on their retirement date (or 80% of the salary of the Chairman of the Board of Directors or of another board member of the Group, if higher).

| Actuarial losses / (gains) | 1,787 | (857) |
| Liabilities at year end | 19,828 | 19,099 |
In the year ended 31 December 2024, the actuarial losses / (gains) incurred were justified, essentially, by the change in the expected retirement age of a beneficiary.
In the year ended 31 December 2023, the actuarial losses / (gains) incurred were justified, essentially, by the change in the expected retirement age of a beneficiary.
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the amounts recognised in the consolidated income statement regarding pension plans with defined benefits amounted to 653 thousand euros and 852 thousand euros, respectively. In addition, in those years, gross of deferred tax, were recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income the amounts of 1,787 thousand euros and -857 thousand euros, respectively, regarding to the actuarial and financial deviations verified.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the actuarial valuations prepared to quantify the responsibilities with the pension plans were prepared by an independent actuary expert accredited by the Supervisory Authority for Insurance and Pension Funds (Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Fundos de Pensões - ASF) and considered the following assumptions:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mortality table | TV 73/77 | TV 73/77 |
| Invalidity table | EKV80 | EKV80 |
| Discount rate | 3.00% | 3.00% |
| Expected salary increase rate | 0.0% | 1.0% |
| Pensions discount rate | 3.00% | 3.00% |
| Pensions growth rate | 0%/1,5% | 0%/1,5% |
| Number of payments of the benefit | 12/13/14 | 12/13/14 |
The liabilities arising from pension plans with defined benefits were determined in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method, based on the most suitable actuarial and financial assumptions for the established plan.
The discount rate used in the determination of the liabilities was established by reference to market rates of bonds issued by companies with low risk and with a duration similar to the one of the settlements of the liabilities.

As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the amount of guarantees provided by the Group to the Portuguese tax authorities associated with tax proceedings higher than to 500 thousand euros amounted to, approximately, 68,600 thousand euros (82,200 thousand euros in 2023), ascending the corresponding open tax lawsuits to, approximately, 82,400 thousand euros (81,700 thousand euros in 2023). Additionally, as of 31 December 2024, considering only the lawsuits higher than 500 thousand euros, there were open tax lawsuits from other countries amounting to, approximately, 24,500 thousand euros (13,500 thousand euros in 2023). Nevertheless, the Group proceeded with the judicial challenge of the respective tax additional assessments, being the understanding of its Board of Directors, based on the opinion of its legal / tax advisors, that the referred judicial challenges will be precedent, reason why no provisions were recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In adition, as of 31 December 2024, the Group was involved in several legal proceedings, both as defendant and claimant, which, considering only the proceedings higher than 500 thousand euros, arose to approximately 72,700 thousand euros in the quality of defendant (141,000 thousand euros in 2023). In this regard, it should be highlighted that, as of 31 December 2024, out of the amount above-mentioned 36,600 thousand euros are concentrated in one proceeding in Portugal which goes on for more than ten years.
Regarding the proceeding above referred, the fact that the counterpart did not manage to prove in court over the last 17 years any facts or rights concerning its claim (for which it claims lost profits of, approximately, 36,600 thousand euros) supports the belief of the Board of Directors that the outcome of that proceeding will be favorable to the Group.
On the other hand, regarding the proceeding of 2021 raised against a ACE in which the Group participated, where it was claimed an amount of approximately, 68,200 thousand euros, related to a dispute with a client about the responsibility for the suspension/ lack of conclusion of a construction project, the respective court absolved, in 2024, the Group from such proceeding, having even convicted the client to pay a compensation, including penalty interest, of approximately, 23,650 thousand euros (10,050 thousand euros attributable to the Group).
Lastly, from 2018, two former employees of Mota-Engil Group are being investigated by the Peruvian Public Ministry following its alleged involvement in a set of practices performed, between 2011 and 2014, by some construction companies operating in Peru that would not be fully compliant with the legislation in force. Additionally, following that investigation, Mota-Engil Peru was involved in that process, having, acting in its interest, adhered to a self-pledge regime of assets amounting to, approximately, 300 thousand euros. Furthermore, in 2022, the Group adhere to the proceduresto the Special Volunteer Regime provided for in Law No. 30737, which allows it to activate the mechanisms that the referred law establishes to limit the amount of the potential liability that may be imposed in the event of a conviction (maximum of 3,605 thousand euros at the exchange rate of 31 December 2024). However, at the date of this report, as the preparatory investigation stage of the above-mentioned process was only completed recently, any potential contingencies associated with the evolution of that investigation are not currently possible to measure and quantify.

Mota-Engil Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks with special focus given to the interest rate, exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks.
The risk management process is an integral part of the internal control system which consists in the development of management policies and procedures focus on ensuring the creation of value, protection of its assets, compliance of laws and regulations, and a controlled environment that ensures the fulfilment of the Group's ethical principles and the reliability of the information reported.
Therefore, risk management at Mota-Engil SGPS and its subsidiaries is based on a process intended to be evolutionary regarding the constant identification and monitoring of exposures to the different types of risks inherent to its business, considering the various regions and geographies in which it operates, promoting the study and implementation of strategies for the mitigation of the main risks.
The overall risk management of the Mota-Engil Group is the responsibility of the Executive Committee of Mota-Engil SGPS and of the Management and Supervisory Boards of the companies integrating the Group. At the level of the Executive Committee, the Corporate Risk area of responsibility is assigned to an executive director.
The Mota-Engil Group, due to its geographical diversification, operating in 3 continents and 21 countries, is exposed to a variety of financial risks. The roup's financial risk management policy aims the reduction of impacts and adverse effects deriving from the uncertainty that characterizes the financial markets. This uncertainty, reflected in various ways, demands special attention and concrete and effective management measures.
The financial risk management activity is coordinated by the Corporate Treasury area, who coordinates and monitors the treasury and the debt portfolio, with the aid and support of the Corporate Management Control area, and is carried out according to the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, with the consultative interventions of the Internal Audit and Risk Committee, without ever ceasing to be the responsibility of the board of directors of each of the business units of the Group.
The Group's position as to the management of financial risks is cautious and conservative, using, when advisable, hedge instruments, always considering that these are related to its normal and current activity, never taking positions in derivatives or other financial instruments of a speculative nature.
The different types of financial risk are inter-related and the different management measures are aimed to ensure the pursuance of the same goal, that is, the protection of its assets and the reduction of cash-flow volatility and expected profitability.
The interest rate risk management policy aims to optimize the cost of debt and obtaining a reduced level of volatility in financial charges, that is, it intends to control and mitigate the risk of losses arising from variations in the interest rate on which the roup's financial debt, mainly denominated in Euros, is indexed. It should be noted that the strategy of allocation of debt to local markets, close to cash flow generation, has contributed to a diversification of currencies in terms of debt.
In addition, the Group continues to analyse and evaluate in due course the contracting of hedging instruments that ensure future changes in interest rates.

Mota-Engil Group operationalises its business on an international level through several companies in different jurisdictions and so it is exposed to exchange rate risk.
It should be noted that regarding the analysis of the exchange rate risk, there is a continuous and systematic monitoring of the variations to which the Group is exposed. This monitoring is performed by the Corporate Treasury and Business Control areas, consolidating and reporting information from all companies operating in different geographies, in terms of cash flows, balances and debt.
The Group's exposure to exchange rate risk results mainly from the presence of several of its subsidiaries in different markets, namely in Africa and Latin America, which bring new challenges with the exposure to new currencies and new economic and financial realities.
The exchange rate risk management policy aims to reduce the volatility in investments and operations expressed in foreign currency (other than Euro), contributing to a smaller sensitivity to the exchange rate fluctuations.
The exchange rate risk in Mota-Engil Group is summarized in two ways:
In terms of exchange rate risk management, the Group try, where possible or advisable, to perform natural hedges to manage its exposure through the establishment of financial debt denominated in the foreign currency in which the values at risk are expressed. Whenever such is not possible or advisable, the contracting or performance of operations based on derivative is promoted, structured aiming at reducing their cost, namely for covering risks in future exchange transactions, with a large level of certainty as to the amount and date of performance.
Moreover, and mainly in the African markets, a significant portion of the contracts executed by the Group are denominated in Euro or US Dollar, and the exchange rate is, whenever possible, indexed to the contract value recorded in national currency with the purpose to eliminate any volatility risk with value loss.
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Group expressed in accordance with the functional currency of the country in which each affiliate operates, were as follows:

Liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of an adequate level of cash, as well as, negotiating credit limits that ensure the funds needed to meet commitments when they become due.
The Mota-Engil Group's policy for managing liquidity risk seeks to guarantee that there are funds available (balances and financial revenue flows) at every moment in the Group sufficient to meet, in a timely manner, all the financial obligations assumed (financial expenditure flows).
Obtaining high levels of financial flexibility, fundamental for managing this risk, has been achieved by using the following management measures:
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the liquidity position of the Group (including capital and interests) is detailed as follows:

In accordance with the liquidity management policy defined by the Group, and in order to mitigate the liquidity gap presented above, on 31 December 2024, the Group maintained unused credit lines of, approximately, 570 million euros (504 million euros on 31 December 2023). Furthermore, after 31 December 2024, the Group has already refinanced or is in the process of refinancing, approximately, 593 million euros of bank debt (approximately, 236 million euros on 31 December 2023).
The credit risk management policy seeks to guarantee that the Group's affiliates promote the effective collection and receipt of their credits over third parties within the terms established and / or negotiated for the purpose.
The mitigation of this risk is achieved preventively, before the exposure to risk, through the use of entities that provide information and credit risk profiles that allow a substantiated decision to grant credit.
Subsequently, after the credit is granted, the Group promotes the maintenance of credit and collection control structures implemented at the level of each market, and in some more particular cases, it is promoted the use of credit insurance with reputable specialized insurance companies. These measures contribute to the maintenance of credits over customers within levels not likely to affect the financial health of the Group 'affiliates.
In addition, the significant development of the roup's activity in Africa and Latin America was in part promoted by the development of a close business strategy, focused on a large and growing number of customers, spread across several business areas and geographic poles, which allowed to mitigate the risk.
Furthermore, it should be noted that some of the largest projects that the Group has in progress are promoted by some of the largest private conglomerates in the world, which gives additional security in terms of financial strength and credit coverage.
The growing number of infrastructure projects in the Africa and Latin America regions, supported by multi-lateral entities acting as project financiers that promote the economic and social development in areas such as Environment, Energy and Logistics, ensures additional comfort in terms of credit risk.
Lastly, despite the trend strengthened in recent years towards the development of larger projects and despite in 2024 a customer represented more than 10% of sales and services rendered (associated with the Tren Maya project), the Group has significantly widespread commercial relationships, often relying in these projects on the receipt of advances that allow a significant reduction in credit risk.

|---|---|---|
| Overdue amounts | ||
| ] 0 ; 3 ] months | 621,416 | 361,456 |

| Non overdue amounts | 1,060,532 | 766,704 |
| Total | 1,999,141 | 1,567,200 |
As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Group's exposure to current balances older than one year, net of accumulated impairment losses and credit balances maintained with the respective third parties, resulted, essentially, from confirmed debts of African public organisms, from accounts receivable from Group partners, namely the ones from Mota-Engil México, and from accounts receivable of associated companies.
The Group's credit risk arises essentially from: i) the risk of recovery of the monetary items delivered to the custody of third parties, and ii) the risk of recovery of the credit granted to entities outside the Group. The credit risk is assessed in its initial recognition and throughout time, in order to monitor its evolution.
A significant part of the accounts receivable from customers and other debtors is widespread among a high number of entities, with the exception of two customers (one Mexican and one Nigerian), which contributes to the reduction of the credit risk concentration. Generally, a significant portion of the Group's customers have not a credit rating attributed.
For financial assets other than those recorded under the captions "Customers and other debtors" and "Contract assets", the Group considers the probability of default at the initial recognition of the asset and depending upon the occurrence of a significant increase in the credit risk on each reporting period.
In order to assess whether there was a significant increase in the credit risk, the Group takes in consideration, among others, the following indicators:
• Internal credit risk;
With regard to public debt securities held by the Group, recorded under the captions " ther financial investments recorded at amortized cost", it is assumed that there is a significant increase in credit risk (and the determination of impairment for all contractual cash flows of the assets until its maturity date) if the debtor's external rating falls by 3 notch's (calculated taking into account the ratings assigned by at least two of the three main rating agencies - Moody's, Standard & oor's and Fitch) and provided that the final rating is below the Caa2 or CCC level. In general, the impairment loss determined results from the application of the following formula: exposure to risk x probability of default x loss given default.
On the other hand, regardless of the analysis above, and regarding the remaining cases, a significant increase in the credit risk is presumed if a debtor delays its payments for more than 90 days counted from the payment date established in the respective contract.
For financial assets recorded under the captions "Customers and other debtors" and "Contract assets", the Group applies the simplified approach in order to determine and record the expected credit losses required by IFRS 9 (Note 1.3 i)).
In the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the main information used to determine the expected impairment losses (average rates) was as follows:

According to the legislation, the Statutory Audit Board is responsible for accurately assessing threats to the independence of the statutory auditor arising from the provision of services other than those of audit. These services, which are not prohibited by law, must still always be subject to a duly substantiated preliminary opinion.
Under these terms, the possibility of Mota- ngil's statutory auditor or auditor being able to provide any service other than auditing was submitted to the Statutory Audit Board. This way, for each service provision request, a duly substantiated opinion was issued on the possibility of its execution .
Moreover, the Statutory Audit Board also receives, on an annual basis, under article 62-B of Decree-Law 487/99 of 16 November (amended by Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November), the statement of the statutory auditor's independence, describing the services provided by the statutory auditor and other entities in the same network, the respective fees paid, any threats to their independence and the measures adopted for its safeguarding. All threats to the independence of the statutory auditor were assessed and discussed with the statutory auditor, along with the respective safeguarding measures adopted.
For additional information on this matter, please refer to paragraph 46.
The Statutory Audit Board is responsible for the following, under the law and the respective operating regulation:
− to monitor compliance with the policy of transactions with related parties, specifically by analysing the recording of potential transactions from related parties.
For purposes of selection of the Statutory Auditor to be hired by the Company, the Statutory Audit Board adopts the following methodology: (1) pre-assessment of entities with potential to take on such responsibilities; (2) preparation and submission to the selected entities of the request for submitting a proposal with indication of the scope and type of services to be globally provided to the Group companies, criteria of selection and respective schedule; (3) reception of proposals from the selected companies; (4) analysis of the proposals and assessment according to objective criteria; (5) selection and proposal of a contract.
On the other hand, the Statutory Audit Board also needs to come to a decision on the general guidelines of the Company's strategy, as well as on its corporate risk policy, prior to its final approval by the Board of Directors, and recommend the implementation of mechanisms and internal control procedures with a view to ensuring that the risks actually incurred by the Group are consistent with the risk-related goals established by the Board of Directors.
Additionally, the Statutory Audit Board is responsible for issuing a statement, every four months, on the monitoring of the execution of the roup's Strategic lan.
Lastly, among other responsibilities, the roup's Statutory Audit Board also is also responsible for monitoring and assessing the performance of duties by the Compliance, Risk and Internal Audit areas. As such, and within the scope of the respective supervisory function, the Statutory Audit Board monitors the work plans and resources allocated to those departments and is the recipient of periodical reports issued by those functions as well as of information on matters related to accountability, identification, or settlement of conflicts of interest and detection of possible irregularities.
The position of Statutory Auditor of the Company is performed by the Audit Firm PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – SROC Lda., represented by Catarina Isabel Vieira Pereira.
The position of Statutory Auditor has been performed since 2017 (eight years) by PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – SROC, Lda..
Please refer to paragraph 46 below for information regarding this matter.
The Statutory Auditor of the Company's, as per article 8, paragraph 2, of the ortuguese Securities Code, is PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – SROC, Lda., represented by Catarina Isabel Vieira Pereira, and is registered with CMVM under number 20161485.
PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – SROC, Lda. started providing auditing services to the Company in 2017 (eight years ago), with its representative only performing those duties since 2024.
The Company's policy in terms of rotation of the external auditor is to carry out a consultation process regularly to select the external auditor every three years. However, in 2016, as part of the legal requirement on the need of rotation of the auditors, the Statutory Audit Board of the Company promoted the launch of a new consultation process for the period between 2017 and 2022 and invited three out of the four large audit firms of international reputation to submit a proposal for the supplying of audit services to the Mota-Engil Group. As a result of said consultation process, the Statutory Audit Board of the Company suggested the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados, SROC, Lda.. Additionally, during 2023, given the auditor's performance and the possibility that they could still serve a new term, the Statutory Audit Board decided to propose that the auditor be reappointed to the three-year period 2023/2025 and that a new consultation process with the market be initiated after the end of this term. Furthermore, the policy of the Company and of the Auditor regarding the frequency of rotation of the Statutory Auditor representing the Company in the performance of these duties is in accordance with applicable legal requirements, i.e., two or three terms of office, depending on whether it is four or three years, respectively.
The Statutory Audit Board annually assesses the Auditor, being in charge of supervising the respective qualifications and independence and additionally ensures that the appropriate conditions for the provision of services are met within the Company. The Statutory Audit Board is also the Company's point of contact and the first recipient of their reports.
Although this is not a specific or exclusive competence of the General Meeting, nothing prevents it from being called upon to decide, on demand by the Statutory Audit Board, on the removal of the Auditor, where there are reasonable grounds for their removal. In any case, and to date, the Statutory Audit Board of Mota-Engil has found no reason to consider taking steps towards removing for just cause an entity that has performed the functions of Auditor of the Company.
The services other than auditing rendered by the Auditor and the Statutory Auditor in the financial year of 2024 are detailed below:
As mentioned in paragraph 37 above, the Statutory Audit Board is responsible for supervising the independence of the Auditor and, as such, assess and issue an opinion on the provision by the Auditor of additional services to the Company (other than audit) or to companies controlled by it. In this way, a duly substantiated opinion was issued on the possibility of its execution.
All threats to the independence of the Auditor were assessed and discussed with the Auditor together with the respective safeguarding measures. Considering that: (i) the services referred to above are not prohibited; (ii) a significant part of said services correspond to reasonable reliability assurance services; (iii) a part of the services should be preferably (for time efficiency reasons) or mandatorily (due to legal requirement) executed by the Statutory Auditor/Auditor of the Company and (iv) on the whole, the global fees for services other than audit or reasonable reliability assurance services are negligible, the Statutory Audit Board considered that the independence of the Auditor was not affected by the delivery of such services.
Lastly, within the scope of its work, the Auditor checks the application of the remuneration policies and systems as well as analyses the efficiency and operation of the internal control mechanisms. If any deficiency or irregularity arises, it is reported to the Statutory Audit Board.
In 2024, the annual remuneration supported by the Company, and by other companies in a control or group relationship, with the external auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – SROC, Lda.), including other entities forming part of the same network, was 2,841,145 Euro, which was distributed among the following services:
| Nature of Service | By the Company | By other Group entities | TOTAL | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audit and statutory audit of accounts | 227,952 | 48% | 2,117,342 | 90% | 2,345,294 | 83% |
| Other reliability assurance services | 248,500 | 52% | 229,256 | 10% | 477,756 | 17% |
| Services other than statutory audit of accounts | 750 | 0% | 17,345 | 1% | 18,095 | 1% |
| TOTAL | 477,202 | 100% | 2,363,943 | 100% | 2,841,145 | 100% |
Amendments to the articles of association of the Company must be approved by a qualified majority of at least 70.01% of votes cast.
The Company has in place a procedure which establishes the mechanisms to adopt for reporting irregularities. The procedure considers that irregularities are all acts or omissions, wilful or negligent, practised by employees of the Company during the exercise of their duties, which breach: i) the law, standards or regulations in force; ii) the "Code of thics and Business Conduct"; and iii) best management practices; in all cases, this regards accounting, internal controls, audit, fight against corruption and financial crimes. Reports received which fall beyond this scope will not be handled by the referred procedure.
This procedure covers the following aspects:
The reporting of irregularities must be performed in writing, via email or letter, to at least one of the following addresses:
Under the terms of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board delegates the responsibility for receiving reports of irregularities and forwarding concerns or information about infringements to the Internal Audit area. Some cases, due to their nature, may be forwarded to the corresponding functional areas of the company.
The stages in the whistleblowing process include: receipt and registration; preliminary examination and confirmation of the alleged information; notice; investigation; and final report, with corrective measures and conclusion/opinion on the reported situation, transmitted to the Statutory Audit Board.
Every six months, a report is produced in which the most recurring situations reported are systematised, as well as relevant indicators on the results obtained. This report among other, is aimed at helping to detect any weaknesses or opportunities for improvement in the process controls, contributing to their proposed review and/or that of the whistleblowing mechanism.
As the ultimate independent body to ensure compliance with processes and procedures, and reporting to the Board of Directors, the Risk and Internal Audit Committee's mission is to support the management of the Mota-Engil Group, strengthening the means and methods of operation as regards internal control and business risk monitoring. Additionally, this Committee is also responsible for monitoring the evolution of the global risk levels and evaluating, together with the Executive Committee, the risk monitoring and control measures.
The Risk and Internal Audit Committee has under its functional dependence the Internal Audit corporate team, whose mission is to support the achievement of strategic objectives, assessing compliance and continuous improvement and internal control of the management processes of the Group.
This way, the Internal Audit area has a structure of resources specifically allocated to perform the following functions:
In addition, the Statutory Audit Board is responsible, among other duties, for assessing the operation of the internal control system of the Group and proposing the respective adjustment to the roup's needs. In this regard, it should be noted that, as stipulated in Article 420, paragraph 1, subparagraph i) of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, it is the responsibility of the Statutory Audit Board to check the effectiveness of the risk management system, the internal control system and the internal audit practice.
Additionally, the Statutory Audit Board accesses the reports and opinions issued by the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, supervises the implementation of the principles and policies on the identification and management of the main financial and operating risks, as well as oversees the measures aimed at risk monitoring, controlling and dissemination.
The Board of Directors and the Statutory Audit Board recognise the importance that the risk management and internal control systems have to the Group, thus encouraging the human and technological conditions conducive to an environment of control that is proportionate and suitable to the risks of the activity.
The Executive Committee is also responsible for ensuring the creation and operation of internal control and risk management systems.
Furthermore, with the growth of international activity and consequent geographic and business diversification, the roup's organisational structure now has a higher and more complex dimension. Ensuring the proper operational autonomy to business, Mota-Engil, with its strategic and financial aspects, has a governance model which includes a structure named Corporate Centre, encompassing all corporate functions supporting the Executive Committee, which work as a control instrument for business performance and for a more robust and better structured risk management, in accordance with the roup's policies, procedures and strategic vision.
The risk management activities and their coordination by a specific area, the Corporate Risk area, are under the responsibility of an executive director, to reinforce risk assessment in a more systematic and efficient manner and with an appropriate communication interface with the various business areas in different markets and regions.
The risk management policy is an integral part of the internal control system which consists of the development of management policies and procedures with a view to ensuring the creation of value, protection of its assets, compliance with laws and regulations and a controlled environment that ensures compliance with Mota- ngil's ethical principles and the reliability of information reported.
The organisation and governance model of Mota-Engil is based on the implementation of international best practices regarding corporate governance, which ensures full transparent processes and procedures and an autonomy and independence of action set out in the "three lines of defence" model, as shown in the organisational chart below, in compliance with the guidelines of the position statement of the "Institute of Internal Auditors" for an efficient management of an organisation's risks and controls.

• The first line of defence is carried out by the Business Units, markets, companies and projects, which are responsible for managing the risk on the frontline, playing a key role in managing them, as they are usually closer to most of them and are therefore continuously confronted to evaluate the risks, with the amount of risk to be taken and to define the options for dealing with the risks. This decision-making is accompanied by a conscious consideration of the risks involved not only for the Business Unit, market, company or project, but also balancing the wider impact of the Group as a whole.
The Business Units are responsible for the identification, assessment, reporting and mitigation of risks, in order to facilitate, standardise and streamline the risk management process. Risk managers, known as Risk Owners, are defined in Operational management , being responsible for identifying risks in their business area and act as focal points in the relationship with the Corporate Risk area.
The Internal Audit area reports to the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, an independent body which in turn reports directly to the Board of Directors, and which is composed of three permanent members.
The CMVM (regulating entity), the Auditor and the Statutory Audit Board are outside the Company's executive body , but also play an important role in the overall structure of governance and control, in particular by:
Risk management at the Company and its subsidiaries is an integral element of all organisational processes and decisions, rather than an isolated activity removed from the roup's main activities.
Management and risk control are monitored by the Board of Directors, the heads of the Business Units and the Company's corporate areas.
The Corporate Risk area, which is also part of the second line of defence, is responsible for defining the risk management policy and for ensuring its proper functioning, guaranteeing that the Company is aware of the main risks, supporting the risk appetite analysis and the respective definition of limits, as well as the process of cascading risk management across the organisation through the structure defined in order to promote good implementation, accountability and culture in terms of risk.
Furthermore, this area is also responsible for producing reports detailing the levels of exposure to each of the main risks, through Key Performance / Risk Indicators (KPI/ KRI) identified throughout the year, as well as selecting and implementing the risk management options. Those reports are subsequently analysed by the Executive Committee, enabling a reflection on the main recommendations and a decision on the risk management options to be adopted, which are also shared with the Risk and Internal Audit Committee.
Finally, cybersecurity and information security risks are managed and monitored by the roup's Chief Information Officer, who reports directly to a member of the Executive Committee and the Privacy Committee.
Risk management in the Mota-Engil Group is based on the continuous identification and analysis of the different types of risks inherent to its activity, in the different countries where it operates, that are cut across the entire Company – cyclical risks, financial risks, interest rate risks, exchange rate risks, liquidity risks, credit risks, operating risks, legal risks, regulatory risks, among others – and the adoption of profitability maximization strategies.
A separate chapter of the Management Report, which is considered an integral part of this report by reference, contains the detailed description of the main risks to which the Group is exposed in its business (chapter 1.2.5 of the Management Report).
Risk management is incorporated throughout the Mota-Engil Group, and its main objective is to identify, assess and manage the opportunities and threats that the different businesses in different locations face in the fulfilment of the objectives of value creation.
Mota-Engil applies the best practices defined for Internal Control and Risk Management and, as such, its management incorporates an internal control system based on the international guidelines of COSO (The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), more specifically regarding the assessment and attribution of degrees of criticalness and priority to risks according to their impact on business objectives and the probability of occurrence.
Risk management is an across-the-board responsibility, particularly of business management units, the different corporate functions, with a special emphasis on the Corporate Risk area - which coordinates the different risk information and monitors based on an overall perspective and for the Internal Audit area.
The cyclical and consecutive cluster of risk identification stages of the Group is described as follows:
Each year, according to a plan defined and approved by the Risk and Internal Audit Committee, compliance and financial operational audits are carried out aimed at testing the effectiveness of the internal controls implemented by the Group.
The Corporate Risk area ensures the effective implementation of risk management through continuous monitoring of the respective adequacy and effectiveness, monitoring of any mitigation measures regarding deficiencies in internal control and permanent monitoring of risk levels and implementation of control measures.
The evaluation of the internal control and risk management system allows the assessment of its efficacy, notwithstanding the reference of improvement measures to be implemented in the short and medium term, within a process that intends to achieve an evolution and continuous improvement, as adequate to the development of the company organization and its strategic challenges.
Accordingly, the strategy and main policies defined by the Board of Directors are permanently monitored through the internal control system implemented by the Group, the efficiency of which helpsin part to ensure the long-term success of the Company.
Finally, the implementation of the main policies defined by the Board of Directors (described in greater detail in the attached report on non-financial information) in numerous fields - environmental, social, human rights, gender equality, nondiscrimination among workers, fight against corruption and attempts at bribery, among others - are the example of the positive contribute that the Group has made and intends to continue to offer in the long term to the community at large.
The existence of an effective internal control environment, particularly in the financial reporting process, is a commitment of the Management and supervisory bodies, as well as different Business Units and the corporate centre, which are for producing financial information.
On the other hand, the Board of Directors is continually committed to ensuring that appropriate policies are implemented, ensuring that the financial statements are reported in accordance with the accounting principles adopted.
The documents for presenting financial and non-financial information to the market are prepared by the Business Control, Sustainability and Investor Relations areas, based on information provided by the Business Units, and presented to the capital market by the representative for Market Relations.
All financial and non-financial information documents to be submitted to the market are previously sent to the management and supervisory bodies and are only released after being analysed and approved by them.
The consolidated financial and non-financial information disclosure process involves a limited number of Mota-Engil employees. Additionally, through the processes and controls implemented, some of which are referred to in paragraphs 50 to 54 below, Mota-Engil prepares and discloses in an appropriate and thoroughly manner, to its various stakeholders (governing bodies, shareholders, investors, financial analysis, among others) and within the terms internally (monthly) defined or the terms established by law, the financial and non-financial information necessary to the analysis and to the assessment of the roup's activity.
To this end, and in accordance with the provisions in Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and Council, Mota-Engil drafted a list - constantly updated - of all collaborators, whether employed by the Company or not, who have regular or occasional access to privileged information. Each employee was informed of their inclusion in the corresponding list and provided with an explanation on: (i) the reasons that led to their inclusion in such list; (ii) the rights and obligations set forth in the law; (iii) the consequences resulting from the dissemination or abusive disclosure or use of privileged information; and the respective workers confirmed they were made aware of their inclusion in said list and of their obligations arising therefrom.

In accordance with the articles of association, the duties of the Remuneration Committee, appointed by the shareholders at a General Meeting, with the support of the Appraisal and Nominations Committee, are to define the policy for the remuneration of the corporate officers and setting the applicable remuneration considering the duties performed, their performance and the Company's economic situation.
The remuneration of officers of the Company is determined by the respective Body of Directors, according with the principles of the remuneration policy submitted by the Remuneration Committee for evaluation of the General Meeting.
Lastly, it is also up to this Committee, with the support of the Appraisal and Nominations Committee, to annually confirm the correct implementation of the (fixed and variable) remuneration policy, which was adopted for the managing bodies' members, as well as for the members of the different committees.
The Remuneration Committee elected for the three-year period 2024-2026 is composed of the following members: Carlos António Vasconcelos Mota dos Santos and Jingchun Wang, both non-independent members of the Board of Directors.
Carlos António Vasconcelos Mota dos Santos (Chairman of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee) and Jingchun Wang (non-executive member of the Board of Directors) form the Remuneration Committee, having been appointed for these duties by the General Meeting, on a proposal from the majority shareholder Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, S.A.. Their participation on the Remuneration Committee is limited exclusively to the representation of the interests of the shareholders, intervening there in that capacity and not as members of the management body. To ensure their independence in the performance of these duties, these members do not take part in any discussion or deliberation in which there is or there may be a conflict of interest, specifically when it comes to the setting of their relatives' remuneration as members of the management body. Additionally, it is generally believed, namely by the General Meeting of Shareholders that elected them to their respective positions, that the members of the Remuneration Committee accumulate an experience, a weight and the ethics that allow them to fully protect the interests conferred upon them.
In 2024, no individual or company was hired to support the Remuneration Committee in its duties. However, it is exclusively up to this Committee, within the budgetary limitations of the Company, to decide on the potential hiring of external consultancy services necessary or convenient to the performance of its duties.
Furthermore, the Remuneration Committee is responsible for ensuring that any consultancy services hired are independently provided and that the respective providers are not hired by the Group for execution of other services without its express authorisation.
Lastly, to provide information or clarifications to the shareholders, the Chairman or, in the Chairman's absence, another member of the Remuneration Committee attends the annual General Meetings or those whose agenda includes items related to the remuneration of the members of the managing bodies and of the various Committees of the Company.
It is considered that, by virtue of their respective curricula and/or career paths, (see paragraph 4.7 of chapter 4 - Annexes "List of positions held by the members of the Board of Directors in the last five years"), the members of the emuneration Committee have knowledge and experience in matters of remuneration policy. Additionally, and whenever necessary, the Remuneration Committee is assisted by expert internal or external resources to support its decisions regarding remuneration policy.
As stipulated in Law no. 28/2009, of June 19, a statement on the remuneration policy for members of the management and supervisory bodies should be submitted annually to the Annual General Meeting.
However, with the entry into force of Law n.º 5/2020, the remuneration policy proposal will have to be submitted for approval of the General Meeting at least every four years, and whenever there is a relevant change in the policy in force. However, as the articles of association of the Company stipulate, the roup's remuneration policy is submitted annually to the Shareholders' General Meeting.
In the financial year of 2024, and in accordance with the remuneration policy proposal adopted at the Shareholders' General Meeting of 18 April 2024, the general principles observed in setting the remuneration were essentially as follows:
The functions performed by each member should be considered in the broadest sense of the activity effectively carried out and the related responsibilities and not solely in a formal sense. The directors, executive directors or the members of the Statutory Audit Board shall not be in the same position. Consideration of the functions should be made in the broadest sense with the requirement that criteria such as responsibility, time spent or value added for the Group, which result from a specific type of activity or institutional representation. Likewise, the existence of functions performed in other controlled companies cannot be excluded from this reflection, which means both an increase in responsibility and a cumulative source of income.
In line with the principle stated above, the Group has defined a remuneration policy that covers, in a segmented way, members of management and employees based on the international Korn Ferry model for the marking of functions.
In accordance with the current methodology, functions are assessed based on knowledge, complexity and responsibility/autonomy required and subsequently fitting into predefined functional groups, which constitutes the benchmark vector for the determining of conditions in matters of remuneration.
The financial position of the Company, its interests from a longer-term perspective and its growth and the creation of stakeholder value should be taken into consideration.
In this context, the Group has been supporting its development through short and medium-term planning (Strategic Plan of the Group), establishing goals and defining initiatives, the execution of which is subject to periodic evaluation through a set of key performance indicators (KPIs), guiding the performance along five strategic axes:
As the Group's Strategic Plan is the instrument guiding its strategy, the KPIs comprise one of the key components for the assessment of members of the roup's management and for the determination of their remuneration, driving the incentive mechanisms toward the effective creation of value with a long-term horizon.
The establishment of any remuneration cannot avoid the laws of supply and demand, and the members of governing bodies are no exception. Respect for market practises allows professionals to be maintained with a level of performance which is adequate to the complexity of their functions and their responsibilities. It is important that the remuneration is aligned with the market and stimulating as a means for achieving a high level of individual and collective performance assuring not only their own interests but essentially those of the Company and the creation of shareholder value.
Considering the principle mentioned above , the periodic auditing of compensation practice, as well as their comparison with the market, falls within the remuneration policy of the Group. To this end, the international Korn Ferry methodology for the marking of functions is adopted along with Korn Ferry salary studies, aimed at the comparative functional group, thus ensuring competitive rationales of adjustments to the strategy for the development of human capital and the evolution of the salary market.
The main aspects of the Remuneration Policy approved can be summarised as follows:
The remuneration policy embodies two fundamental aspects in the compensation of all members of the roup's management and employees: first, the equity/competitiveness of salaries, which is safeguarded by internal analysis and external comparison of the proportion of fixed payments in relation to the function exercised by the post holders (using the Korn Ferry methodology as support); and, secondly, meritocracy, complementing the fixed salary with a variable component dependent on assessment of performance.
Under the remuneration policy defined for the Group, the variable remuneration is dependent on the assessment of performance, the general principles of which and respective mode of application are to be found in the Corporate Management Performance Model.
The assessment of performance in the Group covers two components: quantitative evaluation, measured through the fulfilment of the K Is indexed to the roup's Strategic lan and expressed in annual targets, which are set in the beginning of each evaluation cycle; and qualitative evaluation which results from an individual assessment covering key skills for the Group.
The awarding of variable remuneration within the Group presupposes the observance of two cumulative conditions: achievement of barrier-targets, defined for each annual evaluation cycle and drawn from the roup's Strategic lan; and the satisfactory average achievement of the quantitative targets, weighed with the individual qualitative evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages.
In addition, preventive mechanisms are established which inhibit the payment of variable remuneration to minimise the incentive for unaligned results with a perspective of the creation of sustainable value in the long term.
Therefore, no variable remuneration will be allocated were any of the following conditions is found:
The roup's remuneration policy is extended to cover members of management and workers and is segmented into predefined functional groups (members of the Board of Directors being included in Top Executives), using the international Korn Ferry model for the scoring of functions. The roup's remuneration policy ensures that the remuneration set for each functional group (for both the fixed and the variable components) is based on internal equity and salary benchmarking for the reference market, which is carried out periodically.
The policy and remuneration practices of the groups of companies taken as comparative elements for the setting of remuneration, the Remuneration Committee takes into account , all Portuguese companies of an equivalent size, within the limits of accessible information, and specifically the PSI as well as companies in other international markets with characteristics equivalent to those of the Group.
No agreements for payments to be made by the Group are set by the Remuneration Committee for the dismissal or termination by agreement of directors.
As already mentioned, the remuneration of non-executive and non-independent members of the management body includes one variable component. The Company believes that, besides having the duty to reward the long-term strategy carried out by the entire Board of Directors, including the non-executive and non-independent directors, this does not deviate their nonexecutive function.
Apart from the articles of association, which determine that, overall, the variable remuneration of the Board of Directors may not exceed 5% of the profits for the financial year, there are mechanisms in the remuneration policy in force that aim, on the one hand, at rewarding the effective creation of value in the long term, whilst on the other hand seeking to discourage the assumption of excessive risks and behaviours that are not aligned with the strategy outlined for the Group.
In this way, the fixed and variable remuneration is delimited by remuneration place holders that are based on the function, the corresponding functional group, and the benchmarking in the market of reference. The fixed remuneration has an underlying predefined minimum and maximum value by functional group and the variable remuneration is dependent on performance evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum and maximum percentages. In aggregate terms, the mix of fixed and variable remuneration is balanced thought the setting of minimum and maximum limits, provided for within the scope of the remuneration policy.
The Remuneration Committee considers that the way the remuneration of directors is structured is appropriate and believes that it is unnecessary to set maximum potential, aggregate and/or individual remuneration limits for members of the administrative body, and also that the remuneration policy adopted is in line with the compensation practices in most peer companies in the PSI, bearing in mind the Company's characteristics.
The members of the administrative body do not enter into contracts with the Company or third parties whose purpose is to mitigate the inherent risk of variability of their remuneration that was set for them by the Company.
The roup's current emuneration olicy, as approved by the eneral Meeting seeks to promote the alignment of the interests of the directors, other governing bodies and managers with the interests of the Company in a medium and long term perspective, and is set on a fixed basis with a variable component (where applicable) based on the results of the activities carried out and the economic and financial situation of the Company.
As described in paragraph 69, the roup's remuneration policy has underlying variable remuneration instruments structured to promote the alignment of the interests of the Board of Directors with Company's longer-term interest, which act as a deterrent to the assumption of excessive risks, particularly by monitoring certain KPIs.
To this end, the remuneration policy defines indexation mechanisms for variable remuneration based on the assessment of performance which, in turn, is based on KPIs set by the Group's Strategic Plan, defined for the long term.
Under the quantitative component of the assessment of performance, at the start of each assessment cycle, targets are defined for each KPI.
The award of variable remuneration in the Group entails a satisfactory average achievement of the targets established, weighted by the individual qualitative assessment.
In addition, preventive mechanisms for the inhibition of the payment of the variable remuneration are established should any of the following conditions be met:
The remuneration policy for executive members of the Company's Board of Directors, as well as for non-executive and nonindependent members, follows a plan consisting of: (i) a fixed component defined in accordance with the function, the corresponding position within the functional groups predefined for the Group and market benchmarking (supported by the Korn Ferry international methodology for the scoring of functions), which includes the basic gross remuneration paid in reference to the period of one year; and (ii) a variable component paid as performance bonus, taking into consideration the progress of performance, based upon criteria defined and revised annually by the Remuneration Committee.
The criteria for allocating variable remuneration to members of the roup's management bodies are indexed to performance evaluation, which falls under the responsibility of the Remuneration Committee.
The assessment of performance is two-fold: quantitative evaluation, measured through the fulfilment of the KPIs indexed to the Group's Strategic Plan and expressed in annual targets, which are set at the beginning of each evaluation cycle; and qualitative evaluation that results from a discretionary individual evaluation, which contemplates, among others, the following aspects: (i) the effective availability shown in the follow-up of the activity, both on a geographic and business levels; (ii) the availability shown in the follow-up, training and assessment of the top managers of the Group, together with the Appraisal and Nominations Committee; (iii) the effective direct and indirect contribute, by encouraging and raising awareness of the top managers to meet the 5 strategic axes defined in the roup's Strategic lan; and (iv) the dissemination/promotion and the alignment with the compliance, risk management and sustainability policies defined by the Group.
The payment of the variable remuneration applicable to member of management within the Group presupposes the observance of two cumulative conditions: achievement of barrier-targets, defined at the beginning of each annual evaluation cycle, and drawn from the roup's Strategic lan, particularly the achievement of the estimated net income and the satisfactory average achievement of the quantitative targets, weighed with individual qualitative evaluation, which can result in a pay-out amount that varies between predefined minimum (0%) and maximum (5%) percentages of the annual net income for all members of the Board of Directors, as established in the articles of association of the Company.
Finally, in order to safeguard the long-term interests of the shareholders and the various stakeholders, the Mota-Engil Group has implemented a refund policy which, in the event of a restatement of the Company's accounts, provided for the possibility of refunding the remuneration paid as variable pay.
The time associated with the refunding mechanism shall into account the period of restatement of the Company's accounts, as well as the factors giving rise to it.
There is no deferral on the payment of variable remuneration. Nevertheless, the remuneration Committee structures the remuneration of the members of the management body in a way that allows for long-term continuous positive performance of the Company. Ex ante, monitoring of positive performance is carried out through the periodic assessment of KPIs drawn from the Group's Strategic Plan, which allows for monitoring the Company's performance evolution. Ex post, there are mechanisms defined in the remuneration policy that are aimed at inhibiting the payment of the variable remuneration when one of the following conditions is not met:
Additionally, with reference to paragraph 71, and in order to safeguard the long-term interests of the shareholders and stakeholders, the Mota-Engil Group has implemented a refund policy according to which, in case of a restatement of the Company's accounts, provides for the possibility of refunding remuneration paid as variable pay.
The timeline associated with the refunding mechanism shall take into account the restatement period of the Company's accounts, as well as the factors giving rise to it.
This way, the Remuneration Committee considers that the way the remuneration of the members of the managing bodies is structured, particularly the lack of any deferment mechanism for the variable component, weighted by the existence of drawback mechanisms and delimited by a qualitative assessment based on sustainable action parameters, is appropriate and allows for the alignment of their interests with the interests of the Company in the long run. For the same reason, the Remuneration Committee deems it unnecessary to set any possible maximum, aggregate and/or individual limits to the remuneration payable to the members of the governing bodies, especially considering that the adopted remuneration policy is in line with the remuneration practices of most of the similar companies included in the PSI, considering the characteristics of the Company.
The Company does not have, nor does it plan to have, any remuneration measure in force that includes the allocation of shares and/or any other incentive system with shares.
Presently, the Company does not have, nor plans to have, any remuneration measures in force that includes the awarding of the rights to acquire stock options.
The Company does not have any other annual bonus system or non-monetary benefits.
With the exception of the two current founding directors who are shareholders, the Company does not currently have complementary pension or early retirement schemes for other directors. The founding shareholders who are directors are also beneficiaries of a retirement plan with defined benefits, which will largely allow them to receive a pension equivalent to 80% of the salary on the date of retirement (see note 39 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). This plan was already in force prior to the date on which Mota- ngil's shares were listed.
As at 31 December 2024 and 2023, the accrued amounts of liabilities related to retirement plan benefits set for the above mentioned Board members were as follows:
| Amount in Euro | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | 2024 | 2023 | Variation | |
| António Manuel Queirós V. da Mota | 4,921,203 | 5,145,042 | -223,839 | |
| Maria Paula Queirós V. Mota de Meireles | 5,674,693 | 4,263,426 | 1,411,267 | |
| 10,595,896 | 9,408,468 | 1,187,428 |
The variation observed in the 2024 period to accrued liabilities was essentially due to the early retirement of one of the directors. As at 31 December 2024, the aforementioned directors were already retired.

In 2024, a set of significant changes related to the remuneration structure was observed, due to the change in governance and in the respective composition of the governing bodies.
The remuneration structure was therefore subject to a readjustment, always bearing in mind a concern to ensure its alignment with principles of fairness rooted into the liability of participants and with a long-term vision, that encourages the pursuance of the goals established in the Strategic Plan – Building 26 underway.
The alignment of the remuneration structure with the Remuneration Policy in force at Mota-Engil is also ensured.
The Mota-Engil Group displayed, in the last 5 years, a consistent performance, showcasing growing turnover and EBITDA. As such, it is possible to confirm that in 2024 the Group reached unprecedented levels of turnover and EBITDA.

* Turnover corresponds to the caption of the consolidated income statements by natures of "Sales and services rendered"; EBITDA corresponds to the algebraic sum of the following captions of the consolidated income statement by natures: "Sales and services rendered", "Cost of goods sold and materials consumed and changes in production", "Third-party supplies and services", "Wages and salaries", and "Other operating income / (expenses)"; Net profit / (loss) corresponds to the consolidated income statement by natures caption "Consolidated net profit of the year - Attributable to the Group".
** The concept of wage bill, contrary to the wages and salaries depicted in the Report and Accounts, only incorporates the fixed and permanent components of remuneration (excluding, among others, Social Security contributions, other similar welfare schemes in foreign countries, variable components of remuneration and other benefits, namely insurance schemes for accidents at work, health insurance schemes, insurance schemes for personal accidents, among others). As regards the managing and supervisory bodies, it corresponds to the fixed remuneration earned in the period of the term or as attendance fees.
Where the variation of the number of workers is concerned, 2024 was marked by a reduction of workforce, reaching 51,019 workers at the end of the year. The variation against 2023 was essentially explained by the conclusion of largescale projects, namely in Mexico, as well as by the transaction (disposal) involving Mota-Engil Central Europe in Poland.
In the comparison between the average remuneration by Business Units, the main differences stem from the heterogeneity of the markets where the Group operates, on an economic, social and labour level.
In fact, and in accordance with the Group's existing Remuneration Policy, the remuneration systems adopted seek to ensure, on the one hand, the competitiveness of remuneration regarding the wage conditions of the territory where it operates and, on the other hand, their fairness by comparison with comparable functional levels.




The average remuneration presented above is based on the concept of total amount of wages which, contrary to wages and salaries depicted in the Report and Accounts, only comprehends the fixed and permanent components of the workers' remuneration (excluding, namely, Social Security contributions, other similar pension schemes abroad, variable components of remuneration and other benefits, such as insurance schemes for accidents at work, health insurance, personal accident insurance, among others), constituting the aspect adopted for externally and internally comparing the remuneration and its evolution over time.
As stipulated in the Remuneration Policy of the Mota-Engil Group, there is a mechanism in place for reimbursing compensation paid as variable remuneration in case there is an unanticipated restatement of the roup's accounts. This mechanism seeks to safeguard the long-term interests of the stakeholders.
In the period to which this report refers, no such situations were observed, wherefore no mechanism for reimbursement was carried out.
Given the recorded levels of performance of the Group, the decision of rewarding some members of the managing bodies who were more directly involved in the performance achieved was taken.
The Group has no programme in place for share allotment or share options.
Nothing to report in the year ended on 31 December 2024.
This Remuneration Report shall be submitted for the approval of the General Meeting and shall be released on the institutional website of Mota-Engil (www.mota-engil.com) for a period no shorter than 10 years, so it can be available for public consultation, within the framework of the principles of transparency and disclosure of relevant information.

Summary of the Audit Approach
Disclosures related to construction contracts revenue presented in notes 1.31), 1.3 r), 2, 24 and 34 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group operates part of its activities in the construction industry, which is characterized by the existence of plurennial contracts. The amount of revenue related to the business unit of Engineering and Construction, which includes construction contracts and industrial engineering services, as of 31 December 2024, is Euros 4,559,221 thousand.
The Group recognizes revenue according to the guidelines of IFRS 15- Revenue from contracts with customers. In what regards the construction contracts, revenue and margins related to ongoing contracts are recognized overtime as the performance obligation is fulfilled, in accordance with the percentage of completion method, which corresponds to the proportion of incurred costs to the total estimated contract costs.
Determining the percentage of completion of the contracts requires significant estimates and judgements, namely the total contract income. expenditure to incur until completion and the impact of work to be performed differently from the agreed work, delays in execution and existent or future claims. Additional revenue amounts are estimated when established as contractual rights and assessed as highly probable. These estimates are reviewed in each reporting period, based on management's best knowledge, and material changes in recognized revenue and margins can arise from that review.
Due to the magnitude of the amounts and uncertainty and complexity of the judgements involved in the estimates, we consider this issue as a key audit matter.
The work performed over plurennial construction contracts revenue recognition included the following procedures:

| We have also revised the disclosures related to construction contracts presented in the consolidated financial statements. |
Disclosures related to impairment of concessions intangible assets presented in notes 1.3 e), 1.3 r) and 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
At 31 December 2024 the Group holds concessions intangible assets allocated to the following cash generating units (CGU), and for which impairment indicators were identified:
As prescribed in the Group's accounting policies, impairment tests were performed in order to estimate the recoverable amount of those assets.
The execution of the abovementioned CGU's impairment tests involve significant uncertainties and judgements, namely predictions of future profitability and investment amounts, growth rates and

| discount rates, as well as analysis of the documentation related to assets future use. Consequently, the analysis of the fair value of these assets was considered a key audit matter due to its complexity and judgement involved in management's estimation of its recoverable amount. |
We have also revised the disclosures presented in the consolidated financial statements related to the intangible assets in the mentioned concessions. |
|
| Accounts receivable valuation and Impairment recognition |
||
| Disclosures related to Accounts receivable presented in the notes 1.3 i), 1.3 r), 8 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements. At 31 December 2024, the Group presents accounts receivable from Customers and Other Debtors - Others amounting to Euros 1,999,141 thousand (net of cumulative impairment losses of Euros 212, 112 thousand, of which Euros 5,136 thousand were recognized, net of reversals, in the consolidated income statement). The Group assesses, in each reporting period, the amount of impairment losses to be recognized under IFRS 9- Financial instruments. For this purpose, impairment losses are recognized for the estimated non recoverable amount of aged receivables or receivables for which other impairment indicators exist (incurred losses), as well as potential expected impairment losses, using an uncollectibility matrix based on the credit history of the Group's debtors, over the past five years, adjusted for specific debtor issues, as well as for macroeconomic conditions that are estimated for the future. |
Work performed over recognition and measurement of accounts receivable impairment included the following procedures: · understanding and evaluating control activities related to recognition and measurement of accounts receivable impairment, and tests to the effectiveness of controls, when relevant; · obtaining the calculation of matrices of expected impairment loss rates by country, industry and customer segments at the reporting date, in case of existence of historical losses or credit risk; · discussion with the management of the main assumptions used in determining expected impairment losses, namely segmentation of matrices by different groups of credit risk profile, adjustments made to specific debtors, selection of historical periods and base information, as well as expectations of future macroeconomic conditions; · obtaining ageing accounts receivable reports and reconciling with recognized impairment sessol · testing the significant consolidation adjustments included in accounts receivable and impairment losses line items; |
|
| The identification of impaired accounts receivable, determining its recoverable amount, and the modelling of matrices for defermination of potential impairment losses |

| judgement, namely in regards to (i) the debtors ability to settle the debt, probability of default of agreed conditions and collection prospects; and (ii) the segmentation of the portfolio of customers and other debtors in different groups of credit risk profiles and subsequent determination of estimated impairment loss rates. The existence, in the many geographies the Group operates in, of significant accounts receivable from government entities, state or entities considered as public entities, raises an additional level of subjectivity and uncertainty to those judgements. Moreover, and as reported in 1.3 i), the Group estimates the present value of accounts receivable whenever it is expected that payment extends beyond 12 months. In this case, the estimates made by management require judgement, namely concerning the settlement date and the discount rate to use. Estimates of accounts receivable impairment and present value are a key audit matter because they require a high level of judgement by management. |

In what regards the calculation of the present value of accounts receivable, the procedures performed were manly as follows: · understanding and evaluation of control activities related to measurement of accounts receivable past due over one year and tests of the controls effectiveness, when relevant; · assessment of the completeness of accounts receivable with settlement conditions beyond normal terms considered by management for recognition at present value; and · testing the calculation of present value measurement impacts and assessing the reasonableness of management's assumptions regarding the expected settlement date and discount rate used. We have also revised disclosures related to the valuation and impairment of accounts receivable presented in the consolidated tinancial statements. |
Summary of the Audit Approach
Disclosures related to provisions and contingencies presented in Notes 1.3 o), 1.3 r), 8, 12, 37 and 40 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group recognizes provisions for contingencies, namely claims and other liabilities related to construction contracts, including construction guarantees. At 31 December 2024 provisions presented in the consolidated financial statements amount to Euros 187,342 thousand, of which Euros 66,922 thousand were recognized in the 2024 consolidated income statement, net of reversals.
Moreover, due to the dimension, structure and geographical dispersion of its operations, the Group is exposed to different tax and legal frameworks, which originate an increased complexity of the procedures of tax and legal nature. Consequently, the Group has a variety of open tax issues and ongoing legal proceedings, for which no liabilities were accounted for and that are contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities related to tax proceedings in favor of the Portuguese tax and in favor of other countries' tax authorities, both over Euros 500 thousand, individually, amount to approximately Euros 82,400 thousand and Euros 24,500 thousand, respectively. The contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings over Euros 500 thousand, individually, amount to Euros 72,700 thousand.
In accordance with IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and presented in note 37, the Group recognizes provisions whenever an unfavorable outcome is expected for the regarded contingency. The assessment of the outcome probability is based on management's judgement about those

Considering the level of judgement involved in the assessment of contingent liabilities and estimation of outflows amounts to settle the present obligation, and the high degree of uncertainty of the outcome of the proceedings, we consider this issue as a key audit matter. |
· analysis of tax or legal opinions obtained from external consultants or lawyers that support management's positions regarding potential contingencies or existing litigations, promoting meetings directly with those whenever necessary to debate the most significant judgments; · inquiry to management and to key personnel of tax and legal departments, with the support of our specialists, regarding the most significant estimates and judgements, aiming, whenever possible, to corroborate the assumptions in the classification and measurement of the amounts of provisions recognized and contingent liabilities disclosed; and · scanning of expenses incurred after the reporting date, in order to identify non- circularized lawyers or external consultants for which confirmation requests were not sent and or possible new tax proceedings or litigation. We have also revised the disclosures related to provisions and contingencies presented in the consolidated financial statements. |
Management is responsible for:
a) the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which present fairly the consolidated financial position, the consolidated financial performance and cash flows of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union,
b) the preparation of the consolidated Management report, the Report on corporate governance, the consolidated non-financial information and the remunerations report, in accordance with the applicable law and regulations;
c) the creation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error:

the assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as 0) applicable, events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue its activities.
The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and disclosure of the Group's financial information.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, a) whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control:
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control;
c) evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of d) accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial 0 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

g) communicate with those charged with governance, including the supervisory board, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit;

As set forth in paragraph 7 of article No. 451 of the Portuguese Company Law, this opinion is not applicable to the consolidated non-financial statement included in the consolidated Management's report.

To the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A.
Limited assurance conclusion
We have conducted a limited assurance engagement on the consolidated sustainability statement of Mota-Engil, SGPS, S.A. ("Mota-Engil" or "Group"), included in the "Sustainability Statement" of the Consolidated Management Report (the "Consolidated Sustainability Statement"), as at 31 December 2024 and for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Consolidated Sustainability Statement, with reference to 31 December 2024, is not prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with:
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information", issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board of the International Federation of Accountants and we have fulfilled other technical standards and recommendations issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors.
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the section "Auditor's responsibilities".
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
