These awards seek to recognise the mu- nicipalities and supra-municipal local authorities that have made a commitment to projects and actions aimed at promoting sustainability. FCC Medio Ambiente was a finalist ex aequo together with two other companies in the Public-Private Collaboration category for its Cul- tural Shift Plan in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, for workers in the Was- te Collection and Street Cleansing services. This programme aims, through coaching and empower- ment, to stimulate the sense of Cor- porate Social Responsibility (CSR) and relational ecology of the work- force at all levels (from blue collar workers to service managers) and to encourage debate and proactive participation in all actions and pro- posals for service improvement. Workers themselves become true ambassadors of the services to the administration and citizens and be- come a transmission belt of their concerns for the optimisation of these services and thus advancing in the improvement of the sustaina- bility of the cities. This award means a recognition of the company’s efforts dedicated to training and innovation in relations between its people and will be used to promote new programmes to rai- se awareness and promote sus- tainability among workers in other municipalities. By doing so, FCC Medio Ambiente continues to con- tribute to turning cities into sustai- nable and environmentally friendly spaces.
