(Ferrovial) Social Action

Ferrovial perceives investment in the Community as a strategic instrument for developing society and the area and surroundings where it carries out its corporate activity. For this reason it chooses to develop social action projects consistent with its social responsibility for the areas and environments where it does business.

Ferrovial is more than just a simple donor and takes an active part in its social activities, providing not only funds but also technical assistance, technology and specialist help in developing projects.

At the invitation of the United Nations, the company has focused one facet of its activities on Millennium Development Goals. Ferrovial sees itself as a particular reference for Goal no. 8: “Develop a global partnership for development”. For this purpose Ferrovial has been holding a number of meetings with Spanish Government representatives, the United Nations and various NGOs in order to disseminate its model of public-private partnership. Furthermore, all the development cooperation projects in which the company takes part respond to several of these goals.

Ferrovial’s new Corporate Responsibility strategy, the 20.13 Plan, establishes lines of social action, with specific programs, in accordance with the company's corporate activity:

• Environment: Carbon footprint, water footprint and energy efficiency.
• Community: Social Infrastructures, Accessibility to public spaces, Rehabilitation of Buildings.
• Innovation: Research and Disclosure.

Ferrovial works with organizations such as Fundación Lealtad in order to ensure that the company’s standards of good governance and transparency are matched by the counterparts with which it has chosen to collaborate.
