People

ACCIONA implements programs, internal procedures and actions to create a working environment free from discrimination of any kind and to promote diversity.

ACCIONA also stresses sustainability in its employee training. We thus aim to improve our training and equip our team to meet the challenge of sustainability. ACCIONA's objective is that, from 2013, part of the management team's compensation be linked to the company-wide Sustainability targets.

Diversity and equality are the cornerstone of growth and social progress

At ACCIONA, people management models feature the differentiating factor of equal opportunities in the development of all professionals.

Diversity and fostering equality are core values in ACCIONA's people management models. The Company has implemented programs and internal procedures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination of any kind and openly encouraging diversity.

The application of these values is ensured through continuous dialogue with social partners. This joint effort has resulted in significant progress in female employment in positions where there are typically few women.

With regard to people with disabilities, we work with organizations like the ONCE Foundation, special employment centers and the main disability organizations.

Pioneers in sustainable training

ACCIONA wants its employees to grow with the company and find ways to develop their skills. Training is vital in this regard and sustainability is part of it.

Skills Training

Skills training features sustainability as an overarching element.

Online training

Virtual training is structured the same way. ACCIONA's Virtual Campus offers general sustainability content. However, training in sustainability issues is particularly intense in our executive training modules.

MBA in Sustainable Economics

ACCIONA has developed an MBA in Sustainable Economics for its managers and junior managers. With this degree, we want to train the management team on priority areas for 67 ACCIONA's business plans. Thus, the MBA is about sustainable growth patterns, encouraging quality employment, equal opportunities and social cohesion, respect for the environment and wise use of resources.

Safety, everyone's responsibility

As far as safety is concerned, ACCIONA wants to send a very clear message to its team: "No matter where we are, we are all ACCIONA. Safety is everyone's business and we are to help ensure it." Safety management in ACCIONA supports this assertion.

2010-2012 Plan for the Prevention of Occupational Hazards

ACCIONA has a 2010-2012 Plan for the Prevention of Occupational Hazards which seeks to reduce the accident rate in recent years with a special focus on the international area of the company and the promotion of occupational health.

89,674 hours of training in prevention of occupational hazards.

ACCIONA operates in industries that are highly susceptible to health issues and the company is well aware of the importance of raising the awareness of all its team on this issue. The company's Institute of Occupational Health and Safety in 2010 gave a total of 89,674 hours of training in prevention of occupational hazards.
