FCC observes World Science Day for Peace and Development, with innovation and efficiency as levers for creating value for the company

In a context of progress and readjustment after the health crisis, the FCC Group will continue to contribute 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 operates, trying to promote environmental sustainability with innovation and technological research in the development of new tools and systems, as well as in resource management. 

In this way, the company observes the World Science Day for Peace and Development, which UNESCO proclaimed at its General Conference in 2001, with the aim of highlighting the role of science in society with the renewal of the tools that allow human beings to understand the world around them, in order to apply them to their benefit. Keeping citizens informed about scientific advances and the fragility of the planet we live in is essential to understand the relevance of this day in our daily lives. 

This year, the focus attributed by the United Nations (UN) is "Science for and with society to face the global pandemic", with which it aims to strengthen the scientific collaboration required and to find solutions to face current challenges in a sustainable way, through international cooperation 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 symbiosis between its own business strategy 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 approved by the FCC Group's Board of Directors. 

The challenges posed by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), integrated in the 2030 Agenda, blend perfectly with the company's sustainable strategy. Therefore, a year on and as we have been doing for more than a decade, the FCC Group has renewed its commitment to the Principles of the United Nations' Global Compact.
