FCC Construction and GHGs
FCC Construcción materialized its commitment in 2010, with the design and implementation of a protocol for the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions under construction. Since then, the company prepares and verifies annually its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions report, being the first Spanish construction company to have verified it by AENOR and, since 2012, with the Carbon Footprint certificate "Environment" CO2 verified. " This initiative was awarded in 2012 with an accésit in the category "Management for sustainable development" of the European Environment Awards, granted by the Entorno Foundation.
The company has registered its carbon footprints from 2012 to 2016 in the carbon footprint registry, compensation and absorption projects, created in 2014 by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, being the first construction company that appeared in said public list.
Additionally, for the carbon footprints of 2015 and 2016, we have obtained the "calculate and reduce" stamp, which, in addition to recognizing the implication and the fact of being able to quantify and verify our emissions of greenhouse gases, distinguishes the company as one of the organizations that reduce their carbon footprint effectively. Specifically, FCC Construcción has achieved the distinction, after proving the reduction of 26.35% of the average of the emission intensity in the 2014-2016 triennium with respect to the 2013-2015 triennium, for the total of its carbon footprint (scope 1). , 2 and 3).
