FCC’s social and environmental responsibi-
lity strategy has once again attained interna-
tional recognition. FTSE4Good, the socially

renewed twice a year, rates environmental
aspects, worker rights, and environmental
and climate change management, among
other factors.
Recognition by FTSE4Good, one of the
leading global indices for sustainability and
corporate responsibility, further strengthens

menting social responsibility features within
its business strategy. Those features inclu-
de environmental management, adaptation
to and mitigation of climate change, com-
bating corruption, defence of human and

of 5), environmental and climate change
management, corporate governance and
countering bribery. The Citizen Services
Group obtained 88 points out of a possible
total of 100.
The most sustainable company
The consolidation of FCC’s position among
the world’s most sustainable companies
reflects a series of specific actions and
achievements in the area of social respon-
sibility by the Group, whose main sharehol-
der is Esther Koplowitz. These include the
promotion of integrity through awareness-
raising and training tools, which facilitate
compliance with the Code of Ethics, the
equality and harassment prevention poli-
cies, and the creation of the Procurement
Department, which applies social responsi-
bility criteria when selecting and evaluating
suppliers.
The Board of Directors’ involvement in
these policies reflects its commitment to
this issue. FCC’s Board has approved the
3rd Corporate Responsibility Master Plan
2012-14. This 3rd plan represents signifi-
cant progress with respect to the previous
two, and entails placing CSR policies at the
service of the business strategy. In short,
these policies should serve to achieve busi-
ness objectives. The 3rd Plan is defined by
three vectors: connecting with citizens, in-
telligent services, and exemplary behaviour.

FCC maintained its position in the Dow Jo-
nes Sustainability Indices for the World and

tion is further recognition of the Citizen Ser-
vices company’s commitment to social and
environmental responsibility.
