From Sustainability Report 2007
At the request of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp, we have reviewed the sustainability reporting of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp consisting of the economic, social and environmental data and statements from the year 2007. We have reviewed the systems and methodologies behind the data. The data according to the GRI content index are presented in the Annual Report of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp for the year 2007, and the part concerning the product performance is presented in the section of sustainability issues on Wärtsilä Oyj Abp’s home page on the internet. The presented data are the responsibility of and has been approved by the Board of Management of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp. The inherent limitations of completeness, consistency and accuracy of the data and statements are set out in the Annual Report of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp. We have undertaken the engagement work in accordance with the assurance standard (ISAE 3000) “Assurance engagements other than audits or review of historical financial information” -principles. We have planned and carried out our work in order to be able to obtain reasonable assurance on the reliability of the data to be assured.
Our review has consisted of the following procedures:
• a discussion with management responsible for compiling the report;
• an interview with the two members of the Board of Management;
• an examination of relevant background information for sustainability data presented;
• a more detailed review of the systems for gathering and processing data at operating level at two sites in China and two sites in the Netherlands, selected by us.
The Wärtsilä Oyj Abp sustainability reporting for the year 2007 has been prepared in accordance with the 2006 GRI G3 Guidelines. Based on the procedures undertaken, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the sustainability information, data and statements presented according to the GRI content index for the year 2007 would not have been prepared according to the internal reporting guidelines of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp, and would not describe correctly the present state and progress of the sustainability issues of Wärtsilä Oyj Abp for the year 2007.
