Our sustainability report has been written in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

This sustainability report encompasses the performance of operating subsidiaries that generate sustainability impacts and over whose operating policies and practices Murray & Roberts exercises control or significant influence. Clough was consolidated into the Group's accounts from 1 July 2007 and although Murray & Roberts holds 59% of its shares, the company has an independent board of directors. Information on Clough's sustainability approach can be obtained from www.clough.com.au.

Statistics in this report cover the 12 month period to 30 June 2009. Past sustainability reports are contained in previous annual reports available on www.murrob.com.

Continuous improvement in reporting systems and measures is undertaken to present useful and accurate information. The data provided is derived from the Group's many operations around the world, and in some cases, grouped data is not strictly comparable. To further improve the data collection process and ensure comparability year-on-year, the Group will employ external assurance for future sustainability reports.

A GRI index is included at the end the sustainability report for ease of reference. The Group assesses the financial performance of operating companies as part of its three year business planning process and measures compliance with enterprise risk, health, safety & environment (HSE) and broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) metrics
