FCC Medio Ambiente
and
Down Madrid
enter into a collaboration agreement to improve
the social and job integration of people with different
capabilities
FCC, through its Environment Division and
the Madrid Down Foundation, entered into
a framework agreement to promote different
measures aimed at improving the quality
of life of people with Down syndrome and
other types of intellectual disabilities so as to
achieve their full integration, socially and in
the workforce.
The event, held at FCC’s headquarters in
Madrid, counted with the presence of re-
presentatives of both entities and the agree-
ment was signed by Luis Suárez, manager of
Human Resources at FCC Medio Ambiente,
and Elena Escalona, managing director of
Down Madrid.
Luis Suárez stressed the responsibility of
companies when incorporating people with
different capabilities for their correct integra-
tion in society. He also pointed out that FCC
does not simply comply with the Law on the
Social Integration of the Disabled, part of the
General Disability Law, but goes beyond far
beyond this and more than complies with
the 2% minimum quota. A video was shown
after his speech describing what FCC is
doing in this respect, showing workers with
intellectual or physical disabilities performing
their jobs and fully integrated in their work
teams.
Elena Escalona was impressed with the
Company’s real commitment to integrating
people with special characteristics in their
teams and said that this was the first agre-
ement of its kind that the Foundation had
signed with a company listed in the Ibex35
stock market index.
The aim of the agreement is the incorpora-
tion of participants in Down Madrid’s Stela
Service at FCC, the collaboration of this en-
tity in training participants and the possibility
that those who participate in Down Madrid’s
Job Training programs for internship work at
the Environment Division of the Citizen Ser-
vices Group.
