The Community of Madrid, through Madrid Excelente, has awarded its seal of quality to FCC Construcción, a company with 125 years of experience in the design and construction of infrastructures that undoubtedly improve the quality of life of citizens.

This recognition comes after an evaluation process, carried out by independent experts, who have analysed FCC Construcción's commitment in the 10 dimensions that make up the four foundations of the Madrid Excelente model (purpose, people, planet and progress): strategy, ethics and transparency, results, environment, society, employees, clients, suppliers, innovation and, finally, management and transformation.

Following this evaluation, the Quality Committee and the Governing Board of Madrid Excelente have approved the award of the seal to FCC Construcción for a period of three years.

During the award ceremony, held at the Madrid Excelente headquarters, general manager Elena Mantilla highlighted the awarding of the seal of quality to FCC Construcción, underlining its commitment to excellence in the infrastructure construction sector worldwide. Mantilla pointed out that ‘FCC Construcción stands out for excellence in the truest sense of the word, which is why it has been awarded the Madrid Excelente seal of quality’. He also emphasised the importance of public-private collaboration in the region, stating that ‘that's what works and the Community of Madrid favours that climate’.

Among the aspects valued for the awarding of this distinction are the company's contribution to innovation and its environmental protection strategy.
FCC Construcción is one of Spain's leading construction companies, ranked tenth in Europe and twenty-ninth in the world. For more than 125 years it has been transforming our cities, crossing borders and continents and improving people's quality of life through complex infrastructures and executing the most emblematic construction projects on the planet: bridges that connect cultures, football stadiums that define cities, tunnels that cross mountains, underground and railway projects that connect people and museums that house historical art.

The progress and development of FCC Construcción's projects has also marked the progress of the cities and countries where its projects are carried out. In addition, the company is committed to digitalisation and the positioning of its projects as levers of social, economic and environmental transformation.

"At FCC Construcción we improve people's quality of life through the design and construction of the infrastructures we build. By obtaining this seal, we are moving towards new-generation projects that mark the future of infrastructure, demonstrating our ability to anticipate and meet the demands of the modern world," said David Garcia Núñez, director of communications for the FCC Group's construction and concessions division. He also said that the Madrid Excelente seal is a new incentive to continue reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and excellence.
