Social responsibility
FCC
Wins CC.OO.
Award for
Employers’ Social
Responsibility
Esther Koplowitz, FCC’s core shareholder,
received an award from the Construction
and Woodworkers Foundation (FCM) of the
Comisiones Obreras Labour Union in the
“Commitment to the Community” category.
In the frst edition of this award, the panel
of judges noted FCC’s work in the area of
“creating a solidarity network which focu-
ses on the most disadvantaged groups.”
The Foundation lauded FCC’s efforts to
encourage its employees to volunteer in
its solidarity network. Fernando Serrano,
Chairman of the Foundation and General
Secretary of FECOMA CCOO, presented
the award to Esther Koplowitz, who ex-
pressed her thanks on behalf of all FCC
employees.
In his presentation, Serrano highlighted the
important role played by Esther Koplowitz
and her entrepreneurial efforts in making
FCC one of Spain’s leading companies.
Said Serrano: “In speaking about compa-
nies, we must also speak about their em-
ployees, who are the most valuable asset
when they are properly trained and their
work is recognised and valued.”
He continued: “We should applaud those
companies which take their greatest asset
and make it stronger, rather than weaker,
which maintain their workers despite the
crisis, rather than destroying jobs, and
which understand that social dialogue and
the role of unions in a company make it
stronger.”
The frst edition of the Foundation’s Cor-
porate Social Responsibility Awards also
recognised OHL in the “Commitment to
People” category, citing its “notable inter-
est in creating a stable framework for rela-
tions with employees while also promoting
training in human rights.” The award was
presented by Manual González Blanco,
head of the Madrid Regional Board of the
Construction Labour Foundation, and was
collected by Luis García-Linares, Corporate
General Manager of the OHL Group.
We have to applaud
companies when, far
from decapitalizsing
their primary asset,
they build it up; and
when, far from
destroying jobs, they
maintain them.
