A few years ago, the descriptor of the Aqua-
lia brand clearly defined our glocal concept
that I try to transmit: “a global and very local
management”.
Another distinguishing trait is that, by
being a member of a great Citizen Services
Group, we can take advantage of synergies
from other areas, such as Infrastructures
and the Environment.
Can you point out some of the relevant
facts about FCC Aqualia?
I’m happy to say that FCC Aqualia’s firm
commitment to branching out in internatio-
nal markets is bearing fruit. I would mention
the most recent contract awarded in Tuni-
sia for the design and construction of the
Djerba desalination plant. FCC Aqualia’s
potential in foreign markets is enormous
and, to speed this up, we are preparing an
Action Plan to boost this international de-
velopment.
Furthermore, the ability to fund projects is
greater and investment funds are increasin-
gly interested in companies in our sector.
Worth mentioning is the finance agreement
with The Children Investment Fund (TCI)
which have placed their trust in us by awar-
ding even small projects that have given us
an important competitive edge.
Internally, we have also been able to re-
duce structural costs by 30%. We have
implemented various measures, including
the merger of Aqualia Infraestructuras
and Aqualia Industrial in Aqualia Intech in
order to generate technical and commer-
cial synergies.
At FCC Aqualia we remain committed to
facilitating women’s access to manage-
ment jobs by implementing specific mea-
sures, such as our first mentoring program
for women in order to promote this talent,
contributing to a cultural change commit-
ted to gender equality. We have also been
able to renew our Seal of Equality. The Ad-
ministration has shown that it appreciates
the increase of women in certain posts,
such as in the Steering Committee, as well
as the equality measures implemented in
the Company’s recruitment policies and its
stance against gender violence
Lastly, I would also mention FCC Aqualia’s
commitment to innovation and its signifi-
cant work in R+D+i and in the fight against
climate change. We decided to measure
on a regular basis the direct and indirect
We should probably make
a greater effort in transparency and local and
regional communications so that citizens are
able to have a better understanding of our work
wherever we provide services
