Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Many more initiatives are needed to completely eradicate a wide range of diseases and to address many and varied persistent and emerging health issues.

By focusing on providing more efficient financing for health systems, improving sanitation and hygiene, increasing access to medical services and providing more advice on reducing environmental pollution, we will make significant progress in helping to save the lives of millions of people.

Ensuring inclusive, equitable and quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all

Education is the basis for improving our lives and sustainable development. In addition to improving people's quality of life, access to inclusive and equitable education can help provide local people with the tools to develop innovative solutions to the world's greatest problems.

The reasons for the lack of quality education are the shortage of trained teachers and poor school conditions in many areas of the world and equity issues related to opportunities for children in rural areas. To provide quality education to children from impoverished families, investment is needed in educational scholarships, teacher training workshops, school construction and improved access to water and electricity in schools.

Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all

The continuing lack of decent work opportunities, insufficient investment and low consumption lead to an erosion of the basic social contract underlying democratic societies: the right of all to share in progress. The creation of quality jobs remains a major challenge for almost all economies.

To achieve sustainable economic development, societies must create the conditions for people to have access to quality jobs, stimulating the economy without damaging the environment. There must also be employment opportunities for the entire working-age population, with decent working conditions.

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.
