Our response
We were one of the first Spanish companies to join the United Nations Global Compact. We did so in 2002, thus incorporating the principles of this compact into our corporate integrity, policy and sustainability strategy regulations.
In 2019, we attained the advanced level, the maximum category that is awarded to those companies who demonstrate a high level of sustainability performance and which adopt and report on a range of corporate sustainability governance and management practices.
We currently form part of and actively participate in the Executive Committee of the national platform in charge of promoting the principles in the Spanish business sector Spanish Global Compact Network.
Contigo somos +
We participate in the Contigo somos + initiative to make our collaborators aware of the Global Compact.
The goal is to help more and more companies join this global movement for sustainability. There are already more than 850 entities in our country that form part of the Global Compact.
