Zero emissions is no longer enough. We need to create a positive impact on natural capital by focusing on 4 core areas:

Planet Positive 2022
PRINCIPAL TRANSFORMATION LEVERS Translate climate ambition and neutrality into projects. Develop a Scope 3 decarbonisation strategy with a special focus on suppliers. Incorporate Science-Based targets for Nature as the metric for designing achievable, proportional targets. Incorporate Science-Based targets for Nature as the metric for designing achievable, proportional targets. Incorporate Science-Based targets for Nature as the metric for designing achievable, proportional targets. Develop solutions for the base of the water supply and sanitation pyramid in places with difficult access to water.
PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES Alignment of over 90% of CAPEX exposed to activities listed in the taxonomy. Identify zero-carbon options in all procurement categories. Use of renewable energy in 100% of projects where available (via greenchain). Apply Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) that are equal or equivalent to planting and monitoring the growth of 1 million trees in 5 years, capable of neutralising ACCIONA's carbon footprint in 2025. Double the consumption of renewable and recycled resources and halve the amount of waste to landfill. Water-positive projects in 100% of projects in water-stressed areas.
Climate emergency

To be at the core of the transition to a decarbonised economy, we provide solutions that contribute to a zero-emissions world

Starting with a positive contribution to the climate from our business and with a public commitment to reduce emissions under the 1.5ºC scenario, the most demanding scenario validated by science. We want this commitment to become a business driver.

  • CapEx: 97.96% alignment with eligible figure.

  • Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions reduced by 36% compared to the base year, 2017, and by 8% for Scope 3.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES REPORT ACCORDING TO THE TCFD Climate Change Policy Eu low carbon taxonomy case study: assurance report fy2020 Climate

We want to generate net positive natural capital

Increasing the natural capital we share, by investing in the protection, conservation and regeneration of natural ecosystems. Renewable energy and green infrastructure are part of the equation.

  • 223,753 additional trees planted between 2021 and 2022.

  • First pilot phase implemented for the quantification of nature related risks – TNFD.

Biodiversity Policy Biodiversity management Biodiversity report Biodiversity and ecosystems management 2023

We’ll have the ability to develop zero-waste projects

Prioritising the reduction of waste production to zero using renewable and recycled materials, and giving resources a new lease of life.

  • 9% of renewed or recycled resources consumed.

  • 77% of waste produced sent for recovery.

Circular Economy Policy Resource use and Circular Economy 2023

We want significantly increase the supply and sustainable use of quality water

To ensure sustainable water management and universal access to this resource.

  • Reduced the use of freshwater (surface water, groundwater and local water) in waterstressed areas by 12%.
