Pioneers in development + sustainability

In 2005, ACCIONA announced its commitment to sustainability. Our goal to be a leading company in the management of infrastructures, services and energy is to be true to the three cornerstones of sustainability: the generation of shareholder value, protection of the environment and contribution to social wellbeing.

Focusing on our core businesses, we aspire to create solutions for a better future.

Corporate responsibility is the tool that allows us to maximize our contribution to society in all our areas of business. A specific team creates and coordinates the strategy and action in this area. This team is in charge of maintaining constant contact with stakeholder groups and coordinating in-house activities that call for the involvement of all of the company’s departments.

Our management, as pioneers in development and sustainability, is focused on:

• Human development: The people who work at ACCIONA are our guarantee for future success. That is why meeting their job expectations and ensuring their security is our goal. We aim to be an employer of choice, a company that generates knowledge, attracts new talent and creates a “pride to belong.”
• Know and improve our relationship with the community: Our activities are intimately linked to the communities in which we work, and their opinions and acceptance are fundamental to us. Our contribution to a sustainable economy is based on understanding and satisfying the demands of the societies in which we work.
• Protect the environment: At ACCIONA, not only do we work at correcting the environmental impact of our actions and protecting our environment, but we also seek innovative business solutions: eco-efficient construction, waste management, renewable energy, water treatment, maritime highways and more.
• Create management models that incorporate sustainable practices: Inherent in our management systems are the variables that allow us to quantify the impact of our actions and, therefore, measure our progress.
• Communicate our achievements and future plans in a transparent way: Society must be aware of how we manage our business and what our commitments are.

“Corporate Social Responsibility is the commitment of the business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, their families, the local community and society as a whole to improve their quality of life.”
