FCC has been awarded the “Business Best Practices” prize by
on-line newspaper El Confidencial in partnership with KPMG.
FCC, the Citizen Services Group, received
the award in the Eco-efficiency category for
its Ekostone project, which recovers steel
mill slag and whose environmental advan-
tages lie mainly in the high level of recycling
and reuse of black slag, which has traditio-
nally been disposed of in landfills.
The project is both profitable and environ-
mentally beneficial for the steel industry,
the construction industry and society as a
whole since it is replicable and reproducible
at electric furnaces worldwide.
Recovering black slag also rationalizes
steel production costs, minimises waste
production and recovers scrap metal that

can be reused as raw material, and it trans-
forms slag into a product that can be used
as aggregate for concrete and other pur-
poses such as road surfacing, airport run-
ways, etc.
Juan Béjar, Vice-Chairman and CEO, co-
llected the award from John Scott, Chair-
man of KPMG in Spain. Also present on
