The deadline for submitting projects for the
Third Edition of the Eco-Efficiency Awards
was on 31 of January. The high interna-
tional participation in this edition is worthy
of mention. Proposals were received from
workers in Austria, Hungary and the United
States and, for the first time, employees
from different company areas were able to
submit joint projects thereby contributing to
the exchange of knowledge and synergies.
The Technical Committee, comprising spe-
cialists from various business areas, made
the first assessments of the candidate pro-
jects and selected among these, five pro-
jects that were included in the short-list.
•
Mentality Water App, submitted by
Bernabé Hinojosa, of Aqualia.
•
Plataforma S.E.D.R.U.S Sharing En-
vironmental Data to Reflect Urban
Sustainability, submitted by Catherine
Milhau, Patricia Ana Serrano, Isabel
Mañeru, Elena Minguez, Susana Cea
and Gabriel Morales, all FCC Medio
Ambiente employees, and Jaime Ra-
món Quintilla, a member of FCC.

short-listed
•

gates from recycled waste from stee-
lworks, submitted by Enrique Cordero,
Carlos Martín and Roberto Rivero from
FCC Ámbito.
•

and Miguel Hernández of FCC Cons-
trucción.
The projects were analysed by a panel of
judges made up of the senior executives of
the business and corporate areas who will
be meeting in April to announce the awards
and the names of the winners.
We want to thank all participants for their
interest and enthusiasm. The response this
year to this contest exceeded all expecta-
tions. The candidates have submitted very
attractive and high quality proposals that
underscore their interest in sustainable
development, the optimisation of natural
resources, and the implementation of new
technologies for the benefit of the environ-
ment. We wish them all the best of luck.
The objective of this contest is to encou-
rage eco-efficiency as a distinctive trait of
the Company. This edition has created a
concept that will go hand in hand with the
awards and which summarises the goal of
FCC when it launched this initiative three
years ago. “Ideas that change the world”
aims to encourage all employees to partici-
pate and become aware that all their ideas
and actions can change the world.
