FCC is a company that is socially and res-
ponsibly committed to sustainable develop-
ment in the communities where it conducts
operations. As a result of this commitment,
the citizen services companies in collabora-
tion with WWF-ESPAÑA, on 22 October the
Group organized a Reforestation Day at the
“Refuge for Birds of Prey” situated near the
township of Montejo de la Vega (Segovia).
FCC and WWF-ESPAÑA had previously en-
tered into a collaboration agreement to pro-
mote citizen and corporate commitment to
encourage sustainable development in our
plant. As a result of this agreement, Ce-
musa contributed advertising space for the
“The Hour of the Planet” campaign which s
organized each year to build awareness on
the need to take care of our planet Earth.
Sixty volunteers, including FCC workers,
family members and friends, volunteered to
help in the reforestation project.
Before carrying out this reforestation acti-
vity, the parties in charge at WWF-España
explained the current situation in respect of
the country’s forest resources. At present,
only 18% of the forests are left, mostly in
the north of the Iberian Peninsula. The or-
ganization also offered a tutorial on the spe-
cies that were going to be planted and on
the conditions of the terrain.
Seven hawthorns, 20 junipers, 50 savins, 1
almond tree, 6 Holm oaks, 22 buckthorns,
15 wild rose bushes, and 8 blueberry plants
(a total of 138 plants and bushes) were
planted in an area measuring approxima-
tely one-half hectare at the “Cerro de los
Ataques”.
Thanks to the enthusiasm and energy of
FCC employees, the autochthonous ve-
getation of this area was restored. This is
essential in order to create a nesting place
and refuge for various species, especially
vultures.
