Concern for sustainable development has gathered enormous momentum in the last decade.  Even though it is a fashionable term, few have a real understanding of its meaning.

Real sustainable development should integrate three factors: economic development, protection of the environment and social responsibility. According to the Brundtland Report, sustainable development is that which satisfies the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

With the launch of the SOStenibilidad.com campaign in June 2006 ACCIONA joined forces with the Spanish authorities and the European Union to promote Sustainable Development. 
The aim being to make SOStenibilidad.com one of the major online reference points for sustainability.

In addition, with the help of other leading organisations in sustainability, we will try to disseminate and promote advice, environmental good practice and provide a public arena for discussion.

More than 21 million people have visited SOStenibilidad.com and we have received almost 20 million messages.  The creation of this space is a key element in the corporate policy of ACCIONA.  Its contents and proposals will be enhanced and updated to achieve its consolidation as a major resource.

ACCIONA itself demonstrates in all the activities of its lines of business, that it is possible to combine economic and social progress with a respect for the environment.
