ACCIONA has a Corporate Donations and Sponsorship Standard. This standard aims to establish a framework that ensures that donations and sponsorships to charity or non-profit organisations are not used as a front for illegal payments to civil servants or others, which would violate the company’s Anti-corruption Regulations. Any such contributions made by ACCIONA must be appropriate and comply with all applicable laws. These rules apply to all companies and employees of the group, as well as any third parties acting on their behalf. Furthermore, ACCIONA does not make donations to any political party or candidate, nor any foundation that could be considered a political contribution under the terms of the Code of Conduct.
Contributions to foundations and non-profit organisations are made following a thorough evaluation of the receiving institutions, ensuring their reputation and financial transparency.
