FCC Construcción joined a new initiative today to accelerate private sector action at the pace and scale needed to deliver on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and meet the 2030 Agenda. The UN Global Compact Forward Faster initiative calls on business leaders everywhere to take measurable, credible and ambitious action in areas that have the power to accelerate progress across all 17 Sustainable Development Goals where the private sector can collectively make the biggest, fastest impact by 2030.

The SDG Progress Report released earlier this year by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, showed that just 15 per cent of the Sustainable Development Goal targets are on track, progress on 48 per cent is weak and insufficient and progress has stalled or gone into reverse on 37 per cent of the SDGs.

FCC Construcción is committed, within the area of action of Finance and investments, to these two objectives:

Finance and Investments 

• Align corporate investment, to the greatest extent possible, with SDG policies and strategies, and set targets, track and report on the amount and proportion of such investments in the SDGs. 
• Establish a corporate financing strategy that is linked to SDG investments and performance, and report on financing and the proportion of such financing to the SDGs.
