We are FCC - Nº4

R E S P O N S A B I L I T Y jor European companies are working along these lines. What are the benefits of this agree- ment for both parties? For Norte Joven it supports the achie- vement of labour integration and helps to create awareness among society on the difficulties encountered by the disadvantage of finding a job. For FCC it is a way of implementing a CSR on the basis of solidarity in si- tuations where someone is at a disad- vantage and of increasing the efficacy of their business. In the specific case of hiring people who are socially di- sadvantage in services such as street cleaning, the efficacy of management makes us focus not just on economic aspects but also on the possibility of promoting changes and improving society. What are the actions that you are currently promoting? We have promoted the collaboration of several FCC departments with the em- ployment office of Norte Joven where we make the first recruitment for open hiring processes for street cleaning and for professional trade fairs. If so- meone is hired, we monitor jointly the person’s adaptation to their job. We have considered other collabo- ration possibilities relating to training and building maintenance jobs. Dissemination of the Norte Joven project has been an ongoing con- cern. Of what are you most proud? We are very happy of having the opportunity of witnessing how a major company such as FCC has become more aware of its social commitment and we also enjoy the complicity of the teams in their staff in the different business units. And, of course, we are proud of every young man and woman who work and make efforts to give the best of themselves.
