FCC Construcción, a leading com - pany in the sector, recognised for its extensive experience in the market and its firm commitment to sustai - nability, has recently approved its sustainability strategy for the next four years, with its sights set on the 2050 horizon. Like sustainabi - lity itself, the sustainability strate - gy hinges on three pillars: social, environmental and governance. In this article, we will focus on the company’s environmental strategy and some of the measures it has implemented to reduce its impact on the environment. The environmental dimension is always one of the fundamental pi - llars of sustainability and, therefore, of FCC Construcción’s Sustainabili - ty Strategy. Construction can have a significant impact on the environ - ment and, therefore, the company has established a series of ambi - tious objectives to reduce its ecolo - gical footprint. Greenhouse gas reduction One of the main environmental cha - llenges facing FCC Construcción is the emission of greenhouse ga - ses. According to data from the In - tergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), construction is res - ponsible for 39% of total emissions worldwide. To tackle this problem, FCC Construcción has set a clear objective: to reduce its direct and indirect emissions by 30% by 2030 and to join the European objective that commits us to zero emissions by 2050. To achieve this goal, the company has implemented a number of con - crete measures. Firstly, it is working on improving the energy efficiency of processes at its construction sites and fixed sites. This involves the use of more efficient technologies and the optimisation of energy consump - tion in all phases of the project. By reducing energy consumption, FCC Construcción not only reduces its environmental impact and contributes to the mitigation of climate change, but also obtains economic benefits throu - gh the reduction of operating costs. Use of renewable energies Another important measure is the promotion of the use of renewable energy and the reduction of its de - pendence on fossil fuels. By gradua - lly incorporating renewable energy sources into its operations, the com - pany contributes to the decarbonisa - tion of the construction sector and encourages the transition to a more sustainable energy model. In addition, FCC Construcción is working with its suppliers to ensure that the materials and equipment used in its works are more sustai - nable and efficient, with a focus on circularity. This collaboration with the supply chain is essential to pro - mote responsible practices throu - Antonio Burgueño Director of Quality, Sustainability, Innovation and CSR of FCC Construcción S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y 41 S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y
