Our dedication to sustainability aligns with our core purpose. We believe that social advancement, environmental balance, and economic growth must coexist harmoniously. For this reason, we actively contribute to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 17 global goals outlined by the United Nations address humanity’s most pressing challenges through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Only through the collective efforts of governments, businesses, and individuals can we tackle these critical issues.
Key challenges include addressing water and sanitation scarcity, decarbonising the energy sector, developing resilient infrastructure, and fostering sustainable urban growth. Overarching all of these is the urgent fight against climate change.
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.
Over 844 million people worldwide lack access to basic drinking water, and 2.3 billion are without basic sanitation services, leading to avoidable deaths, chronic illness, diminished education, and low productivity.
ACCIONA is a leader in the water treatment sector, employing innovative management solutions to address water resource challenges.
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.
One in eight people still lack access to electricity. Increasing the share of renewable energy to 38% by 2025 is vital for ensuring universal access to clean energy.
ACCIONA is at the forefront of efforts to mitigate the climate crisis, accelerating the transition to a decarbonised energy model. As the world’s largest 100% clean energy company, we are setting a global benchmark.
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Economic prosperity, social advancement, and climate action rely on robust infrastructure, sustainable industrial development, and technological progress. Today, one billion people live over two kilometres from an accessible road, 940 million are without electricity, and 663 million lack clean drinking water.
ACCIONA operates across the entire infrastructure value chain—from identifying opportunities and design to execution and maintenance—utilising advanced and innovative techniques.
Our focus on quality and safety enhances our value proposition, distinguishing us in the competitive field of large-scale infrastructure projects.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Currently, cities account for just 3% of the Earth’s surface but house over 50% of the global population, a figure set to reach 70% by 2050. Urban areas generate over 80% of global GDP.
ACCIONA supports the development of cities as centres of sustainable prosperity by facilitating access to essential resources like water and energy while fostering socio-economic growth and well-being.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Energy use accounts for 74% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributor to global warming. Investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other low-carbon solutions are crucial to addressing humanity’s evolving needs while mitigating environmental harm.
For ACCIONA, combating climate change is a strategic priority. We actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support societal progress by addressing challenges in infrastructure, water, and energy.
We support the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which address the greatest challenges facing humanity.
Sustainable development is about meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. This involves balancing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social welfare.
