“Ferrovial delivers road, airport, and energy infrastructure that creates high value for the communities where they are located, contributing to their well-being and socio-economic growth. Our consistent inclusion in DJSI World for more than two decades confirms our unwavering commitment to sustainability, our long-term approach, and the innovative efforts of our teams to increase the positive impact of our operations,” said Ignacio Madridejos, Ferrovial CEO.
This year, Ferrovial has been ranked in second position in the DJSI World, following a comprehensive analysis of its performance across the environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The company has been continuously listed in this index for the past 23 years.
S&P Global highlighted Ferrovial’s risk management practices and internal mechanisms that ensure effective implementation of its code of conduct. Additionally, the company’s policy on promoting and defending human rights was recognized.
Sustainability as a Pillar
