Supporting local communities

The community

FCC Construcción applies the same approach to ethical behaviour in all areas of the company which strengthens our corporate culture and our commitment to society.
Respecting human rights and workers' rights, the environment and ethics all form part of the principles of the company and of the people linked to FCC. We comply with our obligations and act in a fair, honest and transparent manner.

Co-operation with the community

FCC Construcción cooperates with the communities where it is operating and works in different projects for the most underprivileged members of the community. It supports projects involving children, young people, culture, sport and the local economy. In 2009, nearly one million euros were allocated to social actions.
