FCC has been recognised as one of the companies most highly rated by its workforce in the fifth edition of the InfoJobs Awards, whose awards ceremony took place yesterday, 15 October.

The Group achieved 22nd place among more than 120,000 companies analysed, positioning FCC among the 50 best-rated employers in Spain.

This result is based on feedback shared by people who currently work, or have previously worked, at FCC, giving this recognition particular significance as it stems directly from the experience of its teams.

The InfoJobs Awards aim to highlight and recognise companies that nurture and develop talent. To compile the ranking, InfoJobs considers both the number of reviews received by each company and the average rating awarded by current and former employees.

This fifth edition also reflects InfoJobs’ commitment to giving employees a voice and ensuring that their experience remains at the heart of how companies are recognised.

For FCC, this achievement reflects the commitment, dedication and culture that are built every day by everyone who forms part of the Group. The recognition reinforces FCC’s determination to continue fostering working environments based on listening, respect and opportunities for professional growth, where every individual can contribute their very best.

FCC and all its business areas view this recognition as an encouragement to continue moving forward and strengthening a shared business project.

FCC Group has internally announced the winners of the 4th edition of its international photography contest, Do you watch or Take part?, an initiative launched in celebration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Week to promote awareness and understanding of the SDGs among the company's employees.

This awareness-raising and engagement campaign invited employees to capture, through their photographs, the values represented by the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, bringing together FCC Group’s workforce around sustainability, innovation, and respect for the environment.

Following the final count of likes received on the featured stories published on FCC’s official Instagram profile, the three winners of this edition have been announced:

• First Prize: Iván Molina Vázquez, for the photograph “Where Water Gives Life.” The image portrays water as the backbone of a community, a landscape, and a way of life, reflecting the close relationship between aquatic ecosystems and cultural heritage. The photograph reminds us that protecting water also means preserving the communities, traditions, and environments that thrive around it. This image is linked to SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
• Second Prize: Kennedy Lenis Castañeda, for the photograph “This Golden Moment Reminds Me That Beauty Emerges When We Care for What Sustains Us.” The image explores the boundary between the city and the sea, where light seems to preserve memories. That golden moment, suspended above the water, serves as a reminder that cities are not built solely with stone, but also with responsibility. Every resting vessel, every enduring façade, and every reflection shimmering across the harbour speaks of a fragile balance: living without forgetting the place that sustains us. This entry represents SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 14: Life Below Water.
• Third Prize: Elisa Otero Blanco, for the photograph “Life in Nature.” The image depicts a green space rich in vegetation and flowers, where an animal interacts with its natural habitat, highlighting the vital importance of conserving biodiversity and protecting the natural lungs of our environment. The composition focuses on SDG 15: Life on Land.

Thank you very much to everyone who took part!

The Board of Directors of Cementos Portland Valderrivas, S.A. yesterday agreed to name Esther Koplowitz, the majority shareholder of the FCC Group, as a Director and Vice President.

Other appointments to the Board included Rafael Montes, as Managing Director and CEO of Fomento de Construcciones y Construcciones y Contratas, S.A. (FCC); José Manuel Revuelta, Deputy Managing Director of Cementos Portland Valderrivas and the company Cartera Deva, S.A., represented by Jaime Llantada.

With the addition of these four new directors, the Board of Directors is composed of a total of 18 members, which is the number agreed at the last General Meeting of Shareholders held in Pamplona on 29 June of last year.

There were also changes to the Executive Committee: Fernando Ferreras and Antonio Pérez Colmenero resigned and were replaced by Rafael Montes and José Manuel Revuelta.

• Marcelino Oreja will continue as a director of the company.

The Board of Directors of FCC, in response to a proposal by the company's principal shareholder, Esther Koplowitz, has unanimously agreed to appoint Baldomero Falcones Jaquotot as CEO and Executive Vice-Chairman of the company. Baldomero Falcones is replacing Rafael Montes, who has been appointed as Non-Executive Chairman of the Group.

FCC's new chief executive, Baldomero Falcones, was born in Mallorca in 1946; he holds a degree in engineering and an MBA from IESE.

Baldomero Falcones joins FCC after a lengthy career in executive positions at Spanish and international companies. He was a founding partner of Magnum Industrial Partners, Chairman of Mastercard International Worldwide and of Santander Seguros, director of Unión Fenosa and director for Spain at RWE; he is also a former general manager and member of the Executive Committee at Banco Santander Central Hispano. He is Chairman of the Plan Foundation in Spain and a member of the Economic Committee of Fundación Albéniz.

Speaking after his designation, Baldomero Falcones thanked the Board for his appointment and "very particularly for the trust it has placed in me to direct FCC, a superbly-managed company which is in an unbeatable position to continue growing and to take advantage of opportunities arising in its various business areas. The diversification process implemented by FCC's top-rank executive team has served as a template for the industry."

The Board of Directors of FCC expressly acknowledged the work of Marcelino Oreja over the last nine years in which he has been at the helm (as Chairman from 1998 to 2004, and as Non-Executive Chairman since then), particularly since this is the period in which Vivendi (later Veolia) was the company's second-largest shareholder and is considered to be one of the most important stages in the company's century-long history.

Marcelino Oreja will maintain a link to FCC since he will continue to be a member of the Board of Directors.

After forty years at the company, during which he has held the most senior executive positions, Rafael Montes will take the place of Marcelino Oreja, who announced his intention to resign at the last Shareholders' Meeting.

The company's principal shareholder, Esther Koplowitz, said: "it is very important for FCC to retain the experience of Rafael Montes, not only because of his proven skill but also because he is part of this company's history and has contributed to making it a leader in all the sectors in which it operates. His appointment as Chairman, the culmination of his long career at the company, is further assurance of FCC's future success. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Marcelino Oreja for his outstanding work in his years with FCC, a contribution only exceeded by his qualities as a person."

The Board accepted the resignation of Francisco Mas Sardá and thanked him for his over 40 years' service at the company. He will be proposed for appointment as a member of the Board of Directors of Uniland.

Additionally, the directors EAC Inversiones Corporativas, S.L., represented by Carmen Alcocer Koplowitz, and Gonzalo Anes y Álvarez de Castrillón were appointed to the Audit and Control Committee.

The Board of Directors thanked Rafael Montes for his excellent performance as CEO; on his watch, revenues and EBITDA doubled as a result of the Strategic Plan and the company expanded internationally to balance it strategic businesses (36% of revenues are obtained outside Spain, up from 9% originally).
