FCC Construcción
publishes 2011
Environmental Report
This is the seventh report
published since 2000, a trailblazing
initiative in the sector
One of the most relevant achievements this
year is the system that is used to gather and
analyse environmental data. Information on
the company’s projects is now available
in real time and reports can be generated
by type of project, geographical location,
hierarchical structure or type of client. The
print version of the document, in Spanish
FCC Construcción has made a permanent commitment to the environment by imple-
menting a business model that is focused on sustainable construction. The environ-
mental is a priority for the entire Group, starting with management, which has been
concerned with this issue for many years.
FCC Construcción is an active player rather than a mere side-line spectator in the
configuration of development that is sustainable over time.
This is the reason why the Company participates in different working groups in the
sustainable construction area at the international, European and national levels. For
example, FCC Construcción coordinates the “WG5 - Sustainability in Civil Works”
group of the ISO/TC-59/SC17 international technical committee for sustainable de-
velopment.
At the European level, the company is a member of the CEN/TC-350 committee for
“Sustainability in Construction Work”. The Company is also an active participant in the
working groups of the Spanish Committee, AEN/CTN 198, on “Sustainable Develop-
ment” of which it is the Vice President, and AEN/CTN 198/SC2, “Sustainability in Civil
Works” which it chairs.
Construction that is sustainable and more respectful of the environment can only be
achieved with clear guidelines and the active participation of construction companies,
making suggestions, getting involved in the process, providing solutions from the in-
side and making them available to society in order to make this a better place for
everyone to live.
FCC Construcción’s commitment
to the environment
and English, contains environmental infor-
mation on all FCC Construcción projects in
Spain in 2010. With the web version in Spa-
nish only, users can consult the information
by Autonomous Community.
Another objective that has been met refers
to the commitment made by FCC Cons-
trucción to combat climate change. In this
area, the Company has designed and im-
plemented a protocol for measuring green-
house gases, making it the first company in
the construction sector to verify the GHGs
according to the ISO 14064 standard.
FCC Construcción publishes this re-
port every two years to summarise the
company’s environmental actions and sha-
re its environmental management expe-
riences with others. The implementation of
good environmental practices goes beyond
the legal requirements and results in more
eco-efficient management.
This initiative of FCC Construcción was
recognised in 2007 by Garrigues-Expan-
sión-CIIS with an award in the category of
sustainability and social responsibility for its
commitment to sustainable development.
