Without going any fur- ther, of the 17 Sustainable Develop- ment Goals that the United Nations has defined for Sustainable Deve - lopment, SDG9 speaks of “Industry, innovation and infrastructure”. The- refore, this type of infrastructure is a key element in addressing the sustai- nable growth of societies, and at the same time contributes to improving people’s quality of life and well-being. Inclusive growth In order to generate an efficient impact that complies with the com- pany’s commitment to sustainability, the development of the project, as a characteristic feature of today’s large infrastructures, aims to be res- pectful of the environment of which it forms part, in order to achieve in- clusive growth. Sustainability is also a priority in large engineering and construction projects that aim to res- pect the environment and improve the quality of life of citizens. Through sustainable infrastructures, environmental protection is achie- ved, as well as the promotion of community development and cons- tant innovation. The development of these constructions has a positive impact on the environment and who- se projection brings social benefits. All of them bear the FCC seal.
