These innovative solutions allow ACCIONA to make data-driven decisions and streamline operations in flagship projects such as the recently completed Site-C hydroelectric dam project in British Columbia.
In addition, as part of its efforts to speed up the digitalization of the company, ACCIONA has launched an internal search for digital transformation ideas that could be applied to the business and projects.
ACCIONA’s focus on sustainability was a key factor in the jury’s decision to recognize the company as one of the 25 most innovative construction companies in Canada. In 2016, ACCIONA became one of the first carbon-neutral infrastructure companies. Now, through its Sustainability Master Plan 2025, it has set a corporate goal of being climate-positive by developing regenerative infrastructure projects.
ACCIONA’s championing of social commitment was also a contributing factor to the award. The company works with a range of stakeholders, including its non-profit foundation, acciona.org, to develop innovative and sustainable water and energy solutions in vulnerable communities throughout the world.
