There is a different way of doing business—one where each project is designed and implemented to promote sustainable development from all three perspectives: environmental, economic, and social.
Our goal: To make a positive contribution to society and the planet by providing sustainable solutions to the most urgent global issues, such as global warming and water scarcity.
We seek to raise social awareness about sustainability, engaging authorities, businesses, and society at large. Our goal is to lead, accelerate, and complete the transition towards a decarbonised economic model.
Our dream of making the planet a better place motivates us every day to work towards creating sustainable solutions to the major challenges that will shape humanity's future relationship with the Earth.
We are one of the few companies worldwide that belongs to a new sector addressing some of humanity’s greatest challenges—such as the growing demand for energy, water scarcity, and urbanisation—while contributing to the transformation and development of society in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

We support the achievement United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, which address the greatest challenges facing humanity.
Developing quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure to support economic development and human well-being is vital in our fight against climate change. It is important that companies that are delivering our infrastructure have a sustainable and innovative mind.
In Australia, ACCIONA’s recent transport infrastructure projects have included two highways, the Sydney Light Rail. Local outcomes from these projects resulted in nearly $1 million AUD investment in innovation, 60.5km of new and upgraded roads and 12km of light rail.
13% of the global population still lacks access to safe and reliable sources of electricity. ACCIONA is contributing to SDG 7 through generating clean energy from our renewable assets. Our projects will supply clean energy that will go towards the 2030 goals related to increasing renewable energy into the global energy mix, providing access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services and improving energy efficiency.
Currently, cities represent 3% of the earth’s land, however they contain over 50% of the population! This figure is expected to increase to 70% in 2050. That’s why, it is so important that we are building sustainable cities and communities so that we can thrive.
Climate change is the main challenge facing our future. With the rise of temperature, sea levels, land diversification and water scarcity, it is important that companies take action against climate change by investing in sustainability through things like composite materials, reducing emissions and creating a circular economy through renewable energy and waste-to-energy projects.
In Australia, ACCIONA avoided 15 tonnes of CO2 emissions per capita. This was measured from 3 of our wind farms. As a result, our local operations avoided 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (2019).
