Innovation and efficiency, , levers of value creation for FCC In a context of progress and read- justment after the health crisis, the FCC Group will continue to contri- bute to the sustainable and efficient development of cities, staying true to its values and principles, promoting peace and bringing science closer to the communities in which it opera- tes, trying to promote environmental sustainability with innovation and te- chnological research in the develop- ment of new tools and systems, as well as in resource management. On November 10, the company joi- ned the commemoration of World Science Day for Peace and Develo- pment, which UNESCO decided to proclaim at its General Conference in 2001, with the aim of highlighting the role of science in society with the renewal of those tools that allow hu- man beings to understand the world around them and apply them to their benefit. Keeping citizens informed about scientific advances and the fragility of the planet we live on is es- sential to understanding the relevan- ce of this day in our daily lives. Sustainable and innovative This year, the focus attributed by the United Nations (UN) is “Science for and with society to face the glo- bal pandemic”, with which it aims to strengthen the scientific collabora - tion required and to find solutions to face current challenges in a sustai- nable way, through international coo- peration and world peace. FCC invests in innovation processes applied to its different business lines so that, through the management of its activities, it is contributing to the creation of the cities of the future. Along these lines, the FCC Group, throughout its 120-year history, has always understood economic, social and environmental challenges as tools to build a sustainable future, as this conference highlights. It has achieved this by creating a symbio- sis between its own business stra- tegy and social action, contributing to job creation, social and economic progress in the different communities in which it operates and encouraging the participation of its employees in charitable actions to provide social value and build trust. All of this is part of its CSR Policy and the Fourth 2020 CSR Master Plan, both appro- ved by the FCC Group’s Board of Di- rectors.
