FCC Industrial and Fundación Seur sign the
agreement
“Caps for a new life”
FCC Industrial and Fundación Seur signed
a collaboration agreement to promote the
protection of the neediest children. The pro-
ceeds obtained by recycling caps will make
it possible to help and support minors who
are in need due to diseases that are not co-
vered by ordinary healthcare systems.
The project, known as “Caps for a new life”
is designed as an instrument to protect
the neediest or socially isolated children in
Spain and Portugal.
Pursuant to this agreement, FCC Indus-
trial as a socially responsible company has
installed two different points for collecting
caps in its Federico Salmón headquarters
in Madrid so that all employees and inter-
ested parties can contribute to this positive
initiative.
Other initiatives
This initiative is part of the other actions
being carried out by FCC Industrial. Last
October, the “16 days of activism against
violence towards women and girls” was im-
plemented in Mexico to eradicate all types
of violence against woman and to have all
companies who operate with FCC Indus-
trial transmit to its employees the need to
achieve gender equality.
It is also worth noting that the Company
was awarded the equality seal last year, a
mark of excellence that stimulates and re-
cognises companies that are committed to
equality and which have implemented po-
licies aimed at promoting it throughout all
the corporate areas.
All of these actions, jointly with the re-
cently signed agreement, are in keeping
with the various elements comprising the
Company’s equality, diversity and social
responsibility policies.
Solidarity project
“Caps for a new life” is a solidarity project. It is also an environmen-
tal recycling project aimed at providing disadvantaged children medical
treatment not covered by the health system o materials to mitigate their
physical problems that they could not obtain by other means.
All began in 2011 when the family of Iker, a boy from Bilbao, went to Fun-
dación SEUR to transport the plastic caps that they had been collecting
locally and which, after delivering them to a recycling firm, would pay for
the children’s standing firm that Iker needed. Fundación SEUR achieved
its objective earlier than anticipated and was able to help this family. This
gave rise to the “Caps for a new life”
®
campaign which spread throughout
Spain and Portugal.
