    \n Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) <\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/m-final-content-header>\n\n \n\n\n

    Ferrovial recognizes the key role that biodiversity plays in providing services that support the economy and social well-being. We understand our responsibility to the natural environment and are committed to the protection and conservation of nature.<\/p>\n \n\n\n

    To this end, Ferrovial has become an Early adopter<\/a>, working to implement the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)<\/strong><\/a> in 2024, aligning our strategy and integrating natural capital into decision-making processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the application of these recommendations, our methodology is based on different international standards and guidance \u2013Natural Capital Protocol<\/a>, Science-Based Targets for Nature (SBTN)<\/a>, GRI 101 Biodiversit<\/a>y<\/a>, ESRS E4 Biodiversity and ecosystems<\/a>, Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES)<\/a> and Global Biodiversity Framework (Kunming-Montreal)<\/a>-and uses software tools to facilitate environmental management \u2013ENCORE<\/a>, o WWF Biodiversity Risk Filter<\/a>-.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess and Prepare) approach is used, having a broad scope and following the following steps: location of priority areas and activities that interact with nature; identification, evaluation and prioritization of impacts and dependencies; identification and evaluation of risks and opportunities; establishment of metrics for the management of these issues and integration of nature into the company’s strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Priority locations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Priority locations are defined by different and recognized standards as those that are located in or near sensitive areas. These sensitive areas are places of importance for biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, areas of water stress, areas important for the provision of ecosystem services (indigenous communities and FAO World Agricultural Heritage systems). Priority locations are those infrastructures where Ferrovial is the concessionaire and long-term owner and interacts with nature in sensitive areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dependencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Ferrovial seeks to manage the ecosystem services on which it depends to carry out its activities. An initial exercise has been carried out to identify and evaluate dependencies based on ecosystem services on which different Ferrovial businesses depend to a greater or lesser degree to carry out their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is taken into account for decision-making processes and the development of different management and action plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main dependencies of the company\u2019s activities are the provision of natural resources, such as water, and regulating services, mainly climate regulation and proper soil structure (no erosion or landslide problems). These dependencies could potentially lead to physical risks (extreme events) and technological risks related to the adaptation of design or materials to offer greater resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Impacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The company aims to minimize the impact on the environment and integrate its infrastructures with the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ferrovial has identified, evaluated and prioritized its main impacts taking into account their magnitude, extent, irremediability, frequency and probability of occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main impacts that the company’s activities could generate are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
