(Ferrovial) Resource Conservation

Ferrovial believes that the most important impact of its activity is the emission of greenhouse gases and the effect on natural systems and biodiversity.

The Construction Division has 24 construction sites located in protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value in Spain (less than 100 meters away). They all meet the regulation requirements. When an environmentally protected area is identifi ed (State or region) the operating procedure of environmental risk identification and prevention is applied. When work starts, the environmental risks of the different units of the project are identified in order to be executed within the protected area or its inmediate surrondings. Once risks are identified, preventive measures are planned to minimize these risks. The monitoring of the degree of implementation and effectiveness of the preventive measures planned is carried out periodically by Quality and Environmental Advisors.

Ferrovial supports initiatives designed to improve some specific ecosystems in the areas influenced by its construction, concession or operational activity and considers that the best way of carrying out these projects is in partnership with the specialists in each specific area.
