FCC selects the six finalist projects for the second edition of the roota Programme

Roota, the FCC Group's intrapreneurship programme, has announced its finalists. After an exhaustive selection process, six innovative ideas have made it through to the final stage. This year's programme has been very well received, with a total of 121 proposals submitted from countries including Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Romania, the UK, Australia, Canada and Saudi Arabia, covering all of the company's business areas and corporate services.

Throughout Phase 2, a total of 17 teams worked intensively on developing their concepts, refining their value proposition and defining the resources needed to validate the identified problem with users.

These proposals were validated in a presentation to an evaluation committee made up of senior management from the FCC Group and its various business areas. After analysing the quality, viability and progress of each team, the committee selected the six projects that will move on to Phase 3:

Aqualiber-N (Aqualia)
Rare Earth Rescue – A Second Life for Waste (FCCenviro)
Laboratorio móvil acreditado para análisis de agua (Aqualia)
GreenScore Plug-In / Sustainability-Integrated Investment Decision Framework (FCCenviro)
AqualiaRe (Aqualia)
Con_FIA: Modelo Operativo Inteligente (Corporate Services)

The final phase of roota will conclude with Demo Day, when the winning proposal for this edition will be chosen.

In recognition of their talent, the winning team will receive advanced training in innovation methodologies and enjoy a trip to visit an innovative FCC Group project in a location to be determined by the evaluation committee.

About the Roota Programme

Roota was created as an international intrapreneurship programme open to all employees of the entities that make up the FCC Group. It aims to harness internal talent to promote the generation of ideas and the creation of solutions in their work and professional environment.

This programme is designed to solve strategic challenges through the collaboration of multidisciplinary teams. Through a process based on innovation methodologies and with the support of experts, professionals develop tangible solutions that bring direct value to FCC. The initiative allows, on the one hand, to promote proposals aligned with the company's operational challenges and, on the other, to ensure the sustainability and viability of each project so that it can be successfully implemented in today's demanding business environment.

FCC highlights its work for equality on International Women's Day

FCC highlights its work for equality on International Women's Day

The FCC Group commemorates International Women's Day once again, with the aim of highlighting its commitment to equality, the promotion of female leadership and diversity, values that are essential to the company. This date has become an opportunity to assess the progress made in terms of gender equality and to reflect on the challenges that still remain to be overcome in our society.

The event, held at the corporate headquarters in Las Tablas, Madrid, was opened by Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, chairwoman of the FCC Group. During her speech, she emphasised that ‘the evolution of equality is not just a declaration of intent, it is a tangible reality, day after day, in our workplaces’. In this vein, she also stressed the importance of continuing to promote initiatives that encourage the presence of women in all professional fields. She also commented that ‘in recent years, the increase in women in technical roles has followed an unstoppable upward trend at FCC.’

The event took the form of a round table discussion entitled ‘Talking about equality’, with the participation of Celia Parrilla Salcedo, Technical Architect for General Services at FCC; Izaskun Vázquez Larrea, Head of Production at FCC Medio Ambiente's Guipúzcoa-Navarra Branch; Ana Colón Guerrero, Head of the Customer Control and Logistics Department at Aqualia; María Jesús Mora Huelves, Administrative Management Control Technician and Chair of the Madrid Central Services Works Council at FCC Construcción; Alicia Morante Muñoz, Human Resources Manager at FCC Concesiones; Raquel Álvarez Santos, Environmental Technician at the El Alto Factory of Cementos Portland Valderrivas; and María Belén Valero Gómez, Director of the Centro II Delegation of Realia.

During the conversation, topics such as the transformation of the company's Equality Plans and the importance of combating unconscious biases and breaking stereotypes in traditionally male-dominated technical positions were addressed, emphasising that talent must be promoted ‘without labels’. Likewise, emphasis was placed on real co-responsibility, understood as a shared commitment between men and women. Finally, the dialogue highlighted the strategic role of continuous training and the creation of safe environments as fundamental pillars for making equality a daily reality and an opportunity for growth for the entire organisation.

Our commitment to equality, female leadership and diversity

FCC is committed to the fundamental principles of equality, non-discrimination in the workplace, support for diversity in the company and respect for the heterogeneity of people. This work, which the company has been engaged in for years, has already yielded significant results and values, thanks to which a fair and increasingly diverse working environment is being consolidated.

FCC increases its turnover by 6.9% in 2025 business year, reaching €9.7 billion

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:14:00 GMT

FCC increases its turnover by 6.9% in 2025 business year, reaching €9.7 billions

FCC Group's turnover stood at €9,700.1 million at the end of 2025, up by 6.9% YoY. This growth is due to the balanced contribution of acquisitions in the UK, USA and France in the Environment Area, as well as organic growth in all the Group's business areas, namely Concessions – which grew by 45.5%, driven by the initial operation of new contracts and the increase in traffic – followed by the Water business, with progress in its lines of activity.

EBITDA was €1,419.1 million in the year, which represents a slight decrease of 1.1% compared to the previous year. This change is primarily explained by the adjustment made in the Construction Area during the last quarter, resulting from the development of international projects, their revenue performance depending on their progress and the revised estimated costs to complete them.

The profit attributable to the parent company has decreased by 62%, to €164.4 million in the business year, compared to €432.1 million in the previous year. This was the result of some extraordinary factors, such as the financial spin-off of the Cement and Real Estate areas in November 2024; exchange rate differences; the allocation of provisions in certain activities; and investment adjustments in waste treatment assets in the Environment Area, in the United Kingdom.

As for its balance sheet, FCC Group closed 2025 with a significant reduction in net financial debt. Compared to December 2024, it shrunk by 23%, to €2,301.8 million. This result was achieved despite net investments of €1.2 billion, including renewals, the development of new contracts in different business areas and acquisitions in the Environmental Services Area. The main mitigating factor is explained primarily by the sale of a 25% stake of the Environmental Services holding company for €1 billion.

Equity recorded a notable increase of 26.9%, reaching €4,743.2 million, driven by the adjustment to the valuation arising from the sale price of the non-controlling stake in the Environmental Services holding company.

At year-end, FCC Group’s income portfolio grew by 11.4% YoY, to €51,606.8 million. A significant contributor to this growth was the Construction Area, supported in large part by the increase in international large infrastructure contracts.

Key milestones in 2025

New brand for the Environmental Services Area of the FCC Group

In 2025, and in response to its broader footprint, the environmental services subsidiary adopted the name FCC Enviro, which is easily recognisable on a global scale. It is closely aligned with environmental activities, while also establishing a link with the various brands across the area’s four geographic platforms, which remain unchanged (FCC Medio Ambiente, FCC Environment, FCC Environmental Services, FCC Environnement, …).

FCC Enviro expands its backlog and footprint, particularly at Atlantic, in the United States and the United Kingdom

Below are the main contracts and renewals secured, notably including those in Spain on the Atlantic platform:

On 30 September, the municipality of Granada signed a new street cleaning and waste collection contract, which will be managed by FCC Medio Ambiente for the first time. It has a value of €740 million and will run for 15 years.
Rollover of the contract for the city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, which includes the management of clean points and sewerage maintenance, with a backlog worth close to €400 million over the next 10 years.
Oviedo City Council awarded the new waste collection and street cleaning contract to FCC Medio Ambiente, which has been providing these services without interruption since 1967. The backlog amounts to €246.2 million over the next nine years, with a possible one-year extension.
Contract for street cleaning, MSW collection and transport and the management of clean points in El Puerto de Santa María, worth €169 million.
Contract for MSW collection, and street and beach cleaning for the Motril ecopark, running for 12 years and worth €123 million.
Street cleaning contract for the city of Pamplona, running for eight years and with a backlog of €100 million.
And a cleaning contract running the next eight years for the 27 municipalities of the Mancomunitat Penedès-Garraf, with a backlog worth €90 million.
In the treatment segment, highlights in the period included the renewal of the contract for the management and operation of the Waste Treatment Centre and landfill serving the Mancomunidad de la Ribera (Navarre), with a backlog of €71.3 million over a 10-year term, covering a total of 19 municipalities.

Highlights in the United States:

In July, the United States platform expanded its footprint by acquiring Wheelabrator South Broward Inc., which owns the South Broward waste energy recovery plant (Fort Lauderdale, Florida). The acquisition value was $285 million. This addition will act as a platform to consolidate the company's entry into the Treatment business in Florida, as well as to develop synergies with the waste collection operations already underway in its extensive area of influence.
Last October, the contract for the operation and maintenance of the energy recovery plant in Pinellas County (Florida) was signed for the next 10 years, with a backlog of close to €610 million.
Two of the earliest contracts secured in this market over the past decade were renewed. Firstly, the Company successfully renewed the contract for Houston, for the management of biowaste from the city's wastewater treatment system; the contract has a five-year term and a backlog worth $50 million. Meanwhile, Orange County (Florida) extended its MSW contract covering Zones 4 and 5, securing a seven-year agreement with a backlog worth $170 million.
In the treatment segment, the company was awarded the contract to operate the municipal solid waste transfer station in south Minneapolis, its second contract in the state of Minnesota.

Highlights in the United Kingdom:

Last October, Cumbria Waste Group was acquired in the Cumbria region for £76 million. Its activities include waste collection and recycling operations for municipal and commercial clients. Its location will make it possible to leverage synergies both with the activities currently carried out in the region and with those under development in waste treatment and energy recovery.
Progress has been made in the development of a renewable energy project in partnership with Downing Renewable Developments, aimed at rolling out a significant portfolio of facilities to give closed landfills a second life and an environmentally beneficial use. This project includes the energy park near Rowley Regis (West Midlands), featuring a battery energy storage facility with a capacity of up to 100 MW, capable of storing energy to supply, at certain times, up to 300,000 homes.

Sale by FCC Enviro of its paper, cardboard and other non-hazardous waste business for €40.9 million

FCC Ámbito, FCC Enviro’s subsidiary specialising in industrial waste treatment, completed in December the sale of its paper and cardboard recovery business, as well as other non-hazardous waste from industrial and commercial sources, for €40.9 million. The business generated revenue of over €30 million in 2024.

FCC completed the sale of a 25% stake in FCC Enviro to CPP Investments for €1,000 million

Last October, FCC entered into an agreement with CPP Investments for the sale of an additional 25% stake in the share capital of its subsidiary FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente Holding, S.A. (FCC Enviro), in exchange for €1,000 million. The transaction was completed on 19 December. FCC retains a majority stake and control of FCC Enviro with 50.01%, while CPP Investments increases its holding to 49.99%.

Aqualia expands its international activity, which accounts for 71.8% of its revenue backlog

At the start of the year, the extension of the contract for the comprehensive water supply management of Vigo (Pontevedra), provided by the FCC Aqualia joint venture, came into force. The associated backlog amounts to €272.7 million over a five-year period.

In December 2025, it was awarded the concession for public drinking water supply and sanitation services by the SIAEP (municipal association) of Questembert, in Brittany (France). The contract, valued at €47.8 million and running for a 12-year term, covers 15 municipalities and includes the establishment of an agency in Questembert, along with upgrades to wastewater treatment plants.

In Colombia, the contract managed by Aguas de Aracataca was extended for a further 15 years, covering the concession for the water supply, household services and sewerage of the municipality of Aracataca. The backlog is worth €42.6 million. Likewise, last August the assets related to the provision of water supply, sewerage and waste collection services in Villa Olímpica (north of the municipality of Galapa) were acquired for a 50-year term, with a revenue backlog of €91.4 million.

In the Americas market, the first contract was secured in Peru, under a design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance (DFCOM) model, for a wastewater treatment system in Chincha. The project will directly benefit 345,000 people and involves an investment of €78 million, with an associated backlog of €356.7 million and a 24-year term.

In Spain, characterised by a very high degree of granularity and recurring contract renewals, a notable award during the period was the 25-year contract granted by the town council of La Llagosta for the municipal drinking water supply service, representing a revenue backlog of €39 million.
Further highlights in relation to renewals and extensions include the contract for the management of the water supply and sanitation service in Candelaria, on the island of Tenerife. The extended backlog amounts to €48.6 million.

FCC Construcción reported a notable 50.5% increase in its project backlog

In a year marked by strong backlog growth, with an increase of €3,213 million, the following contracts stand out:

• In Canada, the consortium led 50% by FCC Construcción began the development phase (following completion of the definition phase) of the Scarborough Transit Connect project in Toronto, the country’s largest city. This contract, awarded in 2022, involves extending the existing Line 2 subway network (Bloor–Danforth section) by nearly 8 kilometres and represents attributable backlog of €1,705.8 million as at year-end.
• Also in Canada, and in the final quarter of the year, the North End Connectors consortium, in which FCC Construcción holds a 33.3% stake, secured financing for the Yonge North Subway Extension Advance Tunnel in Ontario. The design, construction and financing contract is valued at $1.4 billion, of which €285 million corresponds to FCC Construcción in the current phase. It includes the design and construction of a 6.3-kilometre tunnel, as well as a section of the existing rail corridor. The scope of works also includes the supply of tunnel boring machines, the installation of tunnel linings and ancillary activities.

In the United States, last August the Connect Plus Partners consortium (formed by FCC Construcción and Halmar International) won the contract for the design and construction of Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway in New York City, valued at €1,686 million (€859.4 million attributable to FCC). The contract was signed in September.
In Mexico, the consortium formed by FCC Construcción and CICSA (50%/50%) was awarded the design and construction of 111 kilometres of the Tren del Norte, on the section between Saltillo and Santa Catarina. The project is worth €630 million, with an execution period of 31 months.
In Saudi Arabia (August), the contract for the first construction phase of the Qiddiya Stadium was awarded, with a 55% stake held by FCC Construcción and 45% by Nesma Holding Co. This phase follows the early phase, under a design and build contract valued at €366.4 million.
Highlights in Spain: the award to the consortium led by FCC Construcción of the extension of Line 5 of the Madrid Metro to its international airport, with an attributable value of €62.8 million and an expected execution timeline of 36 months. Similarly, in May a consortium featuring several companies from the industry secured one of the year’s most significant rail infrastructure contracts, involving the initial segment of the high-speed rail link between Castile and León and the Basque Country. The project spans 8.4 kilometres and the value attributable to the Group is worth €121.1 million. The award of the contract to complete the Nou Mestalla (Valencia), one of the country’s major sports infrastructures. Meanwhile, the area’s industrial division, heading up a consortium, has been tasked with building the infrastructure for the Volkswagen Group’s electric vehicle battery plant in Sagunto. The contract includes medium- and low-voltage lines for battery production, as well as other electromechanical installations, for an amount in excess of €90 million.

FCC Concesiones brings its first road concession in the United Kingdom fully into service

In the second quarter of the year, the final two sections of the A465 dual carriageway between Hirwaun and Dowlais came into operation in Wales (co-managed by FCC Concesiones, with a 42.5% stake), adding to the other sections that had already entered into operation at the start of the year. This milestone marks the completion of the contract's construction phase, which began in October 2020.

Over the year as a whole, user numbers across the tramway concessions managed by the area increased by an average of 2.2% compared with the previous year. Meanwhile, traffic levels (AADT) across the road concessions as a whole recorded an average increase of 2.9% (Auconsa, Ibisan and Cotuco).

Esther Alcocer Koplowitz collects the Excellence Award granted to FCC by the Community of Madrid

Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, Chairwoman of the FCC Group, has received the Excellence Award from the Community of Madrid, as part of the prestigious Madrid Excelente awards, in recognition of the exemplary management of the company she chairs; its solid and recognised business track record; and the value of its 125-year history, which reaffirms its leadership and its sustained contribution to the economic and social development of the region.

The Minister of Economy, Finance and Employment, Rocío Albert, presented the award during an official ceremony held at the Real Casa de Correos, which highlighted the significant role of Madrid-based companies that are committed to excellence, competitiveness and the creation of opportunities. Madrid Excelente also presented awards for best practices and achievements in the categories of Purpose, Planet, Progress and People, in accordance with the evaluation criteria established by the jury.

In her speech, the Chairwoman of FCC said in a very personal tone that ‘it is an honour for me to accept the “Best Company” award on behalf of each and every one of FCC's employees’. She also wanted to emphasise that "it would be difficult to understand Madrid's most outstanding works without the presence of our Group. That is precisely why we feel very connected to Madrid and very proud to continue being part of its history, 125 years after it began."

Looking back over the company's history, Esther Alcocer Koplowitz wanted to dedicate a few words in her speech to the people who have made this journey possible: "In 2025, we will celebrate our 125th anniversary. It was my grandfather, Ernesto Koplowitz, who laid the foundations by founding Construcciones y Contratas here in Madrid in 1944, which would later merge with Fomento de Obras y Construcciones, created in Barcelona in 1900. After him, it was my mother, Esther Koplowitz, who would drive the development of the FCC Group, currently led by engineer Carlos Slim. And I would not want to fail to mention the exceptional team that has made this journey possible, the professionals at FCC: today, more than 72,000 people are part of this great family, whose effort, talent and commitment are vital to continue building, day by day, the history of this Group," concluded the president of FCC.

The Madrid Excelente Awards reaffirm their purpose of recognising and highlighting excellence in the business world, distinguishing those organisations that have a positive impact on society and are established as benchmarks in innovation, sustainability and development.

AENOR renews FCC's tax risk management system certification

The Spanish Association for Standardisation and Certification (AENOR) has carried out the second follow-up audit, verifying the System's compliance with the requirements specified in the reference standard UNE 19602:2019.

FCC celebrates the fourth edition of Innovation Day, an innovation event promoted by its Digital Innovation Lab.

FCC celebrates the fourth edition of Innovation Day, an innovation event promoted by its Digital Innovation Lab

For the fourth consecutive year, the FCC Group has held its Innovation Day, an event promoted by the company's Digital Innovation Lab (DLab), which highlights the strategic role of innovation not only as an internal strength, but also as a fundamental lever in creating value for the Group.

The event was opened by Alfredo García, Director of Systems and IT at the FCC Group, and Manel Miranda, Director of IT for Innovation and Business Relations at the FCC Group, who highlighted the firm commitment of FCC and Inmocemento to innovation, pointing out that Innovation Day is an event that showcases a small part of the advances, ideas and initiatives that have been launched to drive the company's future. In addition, on the occasion of the company's 125th anniversary, they recalled that innovation has been a fundamental pillar of the Group since its inception.

Throughout the day, presentations were given by FCC Construcción, Aqualia, FCC enviro and Cementos Portland Valderrivas. In this way, each business area of the FCC Group and the Inmocemento Group had the opportunity to present the latest developments and strategic advances in their respective fields of operation.

These presentations began with a round table discussion featuring Antonio Bravo from FCC enviro, Antonio Burgueño from FCC Construcción, and Pedro Rodríguez from Aqualia, which addressed the FCC Group's innovation throughout its 125-year history. Next, Carlos Bouhaben, from FCC enviro, presented PLAUSU, an Autonomous Platform for Urban Services. Marina Navarro, also from FCC enviro, then presented the ‘Circular Bioeconomy in Action’ initiative, focusing on the I+Dehesas projects. For his part, Luis Herreras, from Cementos Portland Valderrivas, explained how they are redefining the “C” in cement: Quality, Colour... and Commitment to CO₂. Later, Silvia Tavera, from Microsoft, detailed how AI agents can enhance everyday life. Marcelino Ortega, from Aqualia, presented ‘The Virtual Operator: Innovation in Knowledge Management’, while Iván Arbós, from FCC Construcción, unveiled the EDIFICTECH project. Finally, Pilar de Vicente and Manel Miranda, from the FCC Group's Systems and Technology Division, closed the presentations by highlighting the role that AI will play in the company's future.

These exhibitions have not only enabled the sharing of knowledge and initiatives, but have also highlighted how technological innovation is being applied to generate efficiencies and new solutions in key sectors such as construction, integrated water management, the environment and cement.

In addition to the presentations, the event featured an exhibitor area that served as a strategic meeting point. In this space, the different business areas of the FCC Group showcased some of their innovation projects. Furthermore, the presence of technology companies such as Microsoft, GalamCam and Casual Robots highlighted the importance of external collaboration in the Group's innovation ecosystem, allowing for the exploration of joint solutions and new digital transformation tools.

At the same time, Aqualia and FCC have inaugurated their NICE project at the Las Tablas Corporate Headquarters, a plant for the recovery, regeneration and reuse of grey water from the building itself. This initiative contributes directly to reducing the water footprint of the facilities, demonstrating the FCC Group's environmental commitment.

Innovation Day x DLab

Innovation Day is a laboratory of ideas focused on improving the efficiency of business processes through digital transformation, adding value to businesses and improving agility in identifying and understanding the current and future challenges of the digital world.

The main objective of this meeting is to generate knowledge synergies to drive innovation, technology and digitalisation, and to implement feasible and viable solutions to facilitate the adoption of innovative digital processes that solve challenges and, consequently, improve the company's products and services; and also to promote an innovation ecosystem open to institutional actors and external collaborators.

FCC joins forces with Fundación ONCE to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

Once again this year, the FCC Group commemorates the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with an event focusing on women with disabilities who are victims of gender-based violence and the importance of their inclusion in the workplace through the ONCE Foundation's Mujeres en Modo ON VG (Women in ON VG Mode) programme.

The event was opened by Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, chairwoman of the FCC Group, who highlighted the work and actions carried out by Fundación ONCE and Inserta Empleo, an organisation co-financed by the European Union, in relation to equality and gender violence, as well as the ongoing collaboration with FCC, highlighting that "our Group actively collaborates with Fundación ONCE in promoting more inclusive and sustainable work environments. Proof of this is the recent signing of the VI Inserta Agreement, with which we have exceeded 1,200 hires of talented individuals with disabilities. This is yet another example of our commitment to building a future with equality and without violence."

‘Let's switch ON for equality and against violence’ was the slogan of the round table discussion that brought together representatives from the ONCE Foundation committed to inclusion and the fight against violence against women. The debate was attended by Mar Medeiros, Director of Companies, Alliances, CSR-D and Social Marketing at Inserta Empleo and Head of Social Marketing and Agreements at Fundación ONCE, who highlighted the collaboration between FCC and Fundación ONCE, emphasising the role of strategic alliances in promoting equality and diversity; Paloma Lapeña, Compass Technician at Inserta Empleo Madrid, who explained the Women in ON-VG Mode Programme, an initiative that promotes labour inclusion and diversity, offering women with disabilities the opportunity to demonstrate their talent and access decent employment; and Esther Peñas, member of the Communications Department at Inserta Empleo and author of the book La voz del coraje (The Voice of Courage), which recounts the harrowing experiences of 14 women who have been victims of violence, bringing their stories and the transformative power of courage to light.

In addition, Alberto Durán, Vice-President of Fundación ONCE, made an institutional statement in which he expressed his gratitude to FCC and highlighted the importance of maintaining links with the business community in order to raise awareness of the work being done to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities, thereby contributing to their full and effective social inclusion.

The event concluded with the presentation of the 8th edition of the awards established by FCC to recognise the work carried out by organisations and associations fighting against gender violence. Esther Alcocer Koplowitz, chairwoman of the FCC Group, presented the award to Fundación ONCE, whose vice-chairman, Alberto Durán, and the director of Companies, Alliances, CSR-D and Social Marketing at Inserta Empleo and head of Social Marketing and Agreements at Fundación ONCE, Mar Medeiros, accepted it with great affection on behalf of the organisation.

This event reaffirms the participating organisations' commitment to equal opportunities and the eradication of violence, promoting actions that contribute to a more just and inclusive society. It is a day aimed at building a working environment where equality and safety are unshakeable pillars, providing an essential space for reflection on the progress made and, above all, on the urgent needs that still persist in this area.
