Why is the ATHOS initiative important
for FCC Medio Ambiente?
Firstly, the ATHOS project has enabled FCC
Medio Ambiente to demonstrate its interest
in backing a European awareness initiative
focused on the future of waste manage-
ment. This involves all players in the com-
munity with the corresponding incidences
on the evolution of our businesses towards
a circular economy. It is important that the
changes that were announced, which are
part of the national programs and regula-
tions and in the transposition phase, are
perceived from within our organization. To
this end, the implementation of a partici-
pative initiative enabling the voluntary and
direct involvement of all and of each of our
collaborators, from our branch managers
to operators, seemed a good step towards
creating awareness on the changes that are
about to take place.
The ATHOS Initiative has also served to
highlight the collaboration opportunities
that could arise through the integration of
these objectives and social and environ-
mental objectives among a major company,
its employees, and the charitable entities
associated with the project.
Why is this initiative important for so-
ciety?
ATHOS is an enriching initiative thanks to
its contributions to the European Week for
Waste Reduction (EWWR), informing our
stakeholders on how a major company in
the sector can have its personnel involved in
a different way to tackle routine tasks such
as daily waste collection and recycling. Our
employees can become ambassadors of
good practices and show the community
how a change in our behaviour can give
waste a second opportunity, with all the so-
cial and environmental repercussions that
this can have. Such as, an example, playing
the role of committed companies by facili-
tating the re-integration in the workforce of
people at risk of social exclusion; or through
more intensive sorting of waste at its origin
to facilitate its recovery, reuse, or recycling,
thereby minimising the depletion of natural
resources and the contaminant effects of its
transformation for its consumption. .
Assessment of the results of the cam-
paign
The results are both tangible and intangi-
ble. On one hand, the effective involvement
of our employees through the voluntary
contribution of nearly 700 kg of clothing
and small electrical and electronic applian-
ces for their reuse and recycling in the 50
containers provided for this purpose at the
work sites, benefitted the environment by
preventing the emissions of 4.5 tonnes of
CO2 emissions and saving of 72.4 m3 of
water by reusing 506 kg of clothing. On the
other hand, there was a space for dialogue
and coming together, giving rise to talks by
charitable companies, paving the way for
new forms of collaboration based on soli-
darity.
What has FCC contributed to this Euro-
pean week?
EWWR offers the opportunity of bringing
together, for a defined period, numerous
public and private organizations and asso-
ciations working towards the same goal.
This results in the promotion and sharing,
on an EU scale, the experiences and initia-
tives that open new roads. For this reason,
the mere fact that we participated is in itself
a very positive contribution. Moreover, the
benefits achieved through this initiative can
be replicated and re-channelled.
