FCC Construcción publishes its Sustainability Report 2023-2024
FCC Construcción, once again, as part of its commitment to sustainability, has published its Sustainability Report for the years 2023-2024. In an exercise of transparency towards its stakeholders, it shows the organisation's behaviour and performance in terms of corporate social responsibility, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals included in the 2030 Agenda.
The Report, verified by AENOR and prepared in accordance with the international standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), reflects the continuous effort made by the company to incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria in the normal development of its activity.
Likewise, as a novelty, the Sustainability Report has been articulated in accordance with the result obtained from the 2023 Dual Materiality Analysis, reflecting the new European requirements (European Sustainability Reporting Standards, ESRS) up to the point known in its draft. From this analysis, carried out based on the study of impacts, risks and opportunities, the most relevant and outstanding sustainability issues are obtained. Dual materiality is a crucial concept in the field of sustainability and corporate responsibility that arises from the need to consider both financial and non-financial aspects in decision-making.
Likewise, through 17 case studies carried out in various works and R&D&I projects, it reaffirms its commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and the integration of its ten principles within the organisation.
Some of the highlights in the area of sustainability:

In addition, thanks to the application of Good Practices, the emission of more than 5,000 tonnes of dust particles into the atmosphere was avoided.
