ACCIONA recognises its responsibility to take an active role in contributing to the sustainable development of the communities in the countries where it operates, working to improve the quality of life for the people living there.
To achieve this, ACCIONA aligns social collaboration with its business activities through sustainable, long-term projects that build trust between the company and the communities it serves. These projects are designed to enhance the company’s positive contributions, in accordance with the OECD’s Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Designing a better planet means contributing to the sustainable development of the communities where we operate. Through our Social Action Plan, ACCIONA responds to the needs and expectations of local communities, in alignment with our business objectives, while promoting the United Nations’ Agenda 2030.
ACCIONA believes that evaluating and managing the social impact of its projects is essential—not only developing social initiatives but also enabling the company to make a meaningful contribution to sustainability in the communities where it operates. This belief is integrated across all of ACCIONA’s business lines in the countries where it is present.
Our objective is to implement specific actions for disadvantaged communities, especially in isolated rural areas, in territories where ACCIONA operates or plans to operate, enhancing access to essential services.
