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.
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Over 2.000 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 3,6 billion have no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of education and low productivity.
ACCIONA has positioned itself as a key player in the water treatment sector. Its innovative management seeks to resolve the challenges with respect to the shortage of water resources.
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
One in eight people still lack access to electricity. To ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, the use of renewable energy has to increase from the current 25% to 38% by 2025.
ACCIONA is leading the corporate fight to mitigate the effects of the climate emergency and accelerate change towards a decarbonised energy model. We are the largest 100 % clean energy company in the world.
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Economic growth, social advancement and action against the climate emergency depend largely on investment in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress. Today, about 1 billion people live more than 2 km from a roadway, 940 million live without electricity, and 663 million lack improved drinking water sources.
ACCIONA participates in the entire infrastructure construction value chain, from the identification of opportunity, design and execution, to the operation and maintenance of the constructed works, using the most advanced and innovative techniques.
Performance quality and safety are two of the criteria that maximize the company's value proposal in the development of large infrastructure projects and that differentiate it from other competitors in the construction field.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Today, cities represent 3 % of the planet's surface and concentrate more than 50 % of the population. A figure that will rise to 70 % by 2050. In addition, cities generate more than 80 % of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).
In addition to facilitating access to essential services for life - such as energy and water - ACCIONA contributes to making cities places of productive well-being in which to live, favouring people's socio-economic development.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy accounts for 74 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low-carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the emerging needs of humanity and to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its effects to be a strategic priority. The company works to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
