(Ferrovial) Performance Index

Environment Performance Index (EPI)

In order to evaluate the environmental performance of the construction sector in real time, Ferrovial created the Environmental Performance Index (EPI). This clear, concise graphic index compiles all information regarding the companys environmental management since late 1996.

The EPI concept is unprecedented in the construction industry. The quantitative information provided makes it possible to analyze the causes of variations and make informed decisions in the area of environmental management.

The index has been validated by the Rey Juan Carlos University and officially recognized by the Alfonso Martín Escudero UNESCO Chair for the Environment.

EPI project in Services division

In 2008, the final phase of the EPI project was launched in the services division. This project is currently at the operational testing stage following the data upload prior to production launch, which is scheduled for the first trimester of 2009. Once it is up and running, this EPI will compile all environmental data from the different business areas, making it a highly effective management tool.
