Climate Strategy

At Ferrovial, we focus on delivering solutions that address some of today’s most pressing challenges, including the climate and energy transition, efficient resource management, and the protection of the natural environment.

Our goal is clear: to create sustainable, long-term value. To this end, we apply operational efficiency criteria across all our activities, enabling us to optimize the use of energy and natural resources, reduce emissions, and minimize environmental impact. This disciplined approach not only strengthens our performance but also drives innovation—allowing us to develop advanced solutions that we bring to our clients and users. In doing so, we generate lasting value for society, our customers, and our investors.

The main global climate agreements have set a shared ambition to limit warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to cap the increase at 1.5°C. This framework underscores a growing commitment among governments, businesses, and communities worldwide to cut greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the transition toward a low-carbon economy.

Mindful of our responsibility, Ferrovial is firmly committed to the efficient use of energy resources and to reducing both our carbon footprint and the environmental impact of our operations. At the same time, we actively foster innovation, new ideas, and forward-looking business models that enable us to deliver infrastructure that is more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. These efforts are closely aligned with the expectations of our stakeholders and with global climate objectives.

Our climate strategy integrates the risks and opportunities associated with energy transition across all our activities. Within this framework, we have established two core priorities:

1. Responsibly manage the environmental impacts of our operations through a preventive approach. This includes advancing initiatives that promote more efficient and alternative energy use, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Leverage our capabilities and expertise in infrastructure development to support the transition to a low-emissions economy.

How are we improving operational efficiency to reduce emissions?

At Ferrovial, we have developed and implemented a range of emissions reduction initiatives, combining company-wide measures with actions tailored to each business line:

• Integrating energy efficiency and environmental performance criteria into procurement and subcontracting processes.
• Continuously improving energy efficiency and progressively renewing our vehicle fleets, including both industrial and passenger vehicles.
• Expanding the use of alternative fuels and lower-carbon solutions.
• Implementing energy efficiency measures across our corporate buildings.
• Increasing the share of electricity consumption sourced from renewable energy.

Adaptation Plan

Climate change adaptation is a key pillar of Ferrovial’s climate strategy. We work to limit the risks and impacts associated with extreme weather events, reduce vulnerabilities, and strengthen the resilience of the infrastructure we develop and operate.

To this end, we collaborate with a team of experts from the University of Cantabria, led by a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in developing a methodology and an internal tool that enable us to identify, assess, and quantify the physical risks associated with climate change, as well as to define specific adaptation measures.

This methodology incorporates multiple time horizons (short, medium, and long term), climate scenarios aligned with IPCC projections, infrastructure typologies, and location-specific climate variables. As a result, Ferrovial develops tailored adaptation plans for each project, which may include:

• Insurance coverage to protect against repair costs and potential losses resulting from operational disruptions.
• Preventive measures, such as integrating climate risks into project design and implementing preventive maintenance programs.
• Emergency response plans linked to the identified climate risks.

This approach enables a standardized framework for climate risk management, strengthens the resilience of our assets, and ensures that climate adaptation is embedded from the earliest stages of project design and development.
