Community Involvement
Through our social programs, we view investment in the community as a strategic tool for the development of society and the environment in which we operate.
Our main social action programs reflect our commitment to our employees and our desire to be a driving force for development. We focus our efforts on the most vulnerable groups to ensure that the development and growth of the communities where we operate are sustainable and inclusive.

Our efforts focus on three main areas
Infrastructure for Disadvantaged Communities
We align our social initiatives with our global strategy to promote sustainable infrastructure. This enables us to develop infrastructure that provides disadvantaged people with access to basic rights such as water, healthcare, and food. Since 2011, Ferrovial has been committed, through our water and sanitation program Social Infrastructure, to improving and expanding access to water in vulnerable communities in Africa and Latin America. Additionally, in Spain, we have supported the improvement of infrastructure for soup kitchens since 2009.
Access to Education
Access to education, with a special focus on career guidance for young people and the promotion of STEM careers, while highlighting the role of women in this field to prevent discrimination. Our main projects in this area in Spain include the Orienta-T Program of the Junior Achievement Foundation and our partnership with the Princess of Girona Foundation.
Engaging Employees
We make employees active participants in Ferrovial’s commitment to the community, both in supporting projects focused on vulnerable groups and in responding to humanitarian crises. The Juntos Sumamos program, which has been in place since 2005, mobilizes employees for projects in both Spain and developing countries. Since its launch, 16 projects have been carried out in Spain, impacting more than 5,100 people; recent examples include the “Habita Tierra” project with the Altius Foundation and the “Una cuestión de Urgencia: el bienestar de nuestros mayores” project with the Gil Gayarre Foundation.
Furthermore, Ferrovial’s commitment to responding to humanitarian crises dates back to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Unfortunately, our capacity to respond and mobilize has been challenged in recent years by the social and health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. The company collects donations from its employees and other stakeholders and matches the amount raised.
