Over recent decades, ACCIONA has established itself as a global leader in underground rail delivery. Its role extends well beyond boring tunnels, covering the entire lifecycle from geotechnical investigations through to station commissioning.

The ambitious rail line being built by ACCIONA will help connect Clark International Airport with Metro Manila as part of the North–South Commuter Railway, but it is also generating social and human connections that transcend the usual impact of an infrastructure project.

In Peru, building electricity transmission lines can mean working 4,000 metres above sea level, cutting through dense rainforest, or navigating harsh desert. This engineering feat demands, at the same time, listening to local communities, respecting the environment, and preserving an ancient, millennia-old archaeological heritage.

ACCIONA’s recent collaboration with an Australian surfboard manufacturer highlights that there is plenty of life for wind turbines after they complete their operational cycle, all thanks to the circular economy.

The complete overhaul of the Tahivilla wind farm in Southern Spain provides a roadmap for the future of the wind industry; one defined by peak efficiency, a minimal environmental footprint, total circularity, and AI-driven wildlife protection.

Can a piece of music capture a commitment to progress and sustainability? In this feature, we explore how Lucas Vidal—Emmy and double Goya award-winner—composed a musical theme to accompany ACCIONA’s work. Performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, it is a sound journey that fuses emotion, innovation and collective effort. 

Europe now faces a critical test: proving that the green transition can only succeed if backed by a more innovative, productive, and resilient economy.

Identity, a sense of belonging, historical insight, traditional skills, education, culture—these are just a few of the benefits that come from understanding our heritage. Various initiatives are stepping up to protect it, proving that the relationship between human progress and cultural preservation can go hand in hand.

Climate change is pushing wildlife toward cooler latitudes and altitudes, driving a slow-motion migration that ecological corridors can help facilitate.

When we speak of cities threatened by water shortages, the names are usually the same. Cape Town, Los Angeles, Sao Paulo. However, while global attention is focused on these cities, there are others in Latin America that have been subject to ongoing water stress for years.

Recent geopolitical developments have represented a major stimulus for the European Union to develop a new Circular Economy Act. The aim is to achieve strategic energy sovereignty and climate neutrality by 2050. The key to this new economic circularity involves, among other things, transforming waste into secondary raw materials. Let’s take a look at the core themes behind this aim.

Machine learning models identify the reefs with the best chance of survival and the mechanisms that could keep them alive. There is hope.

An interview with the former Dean of Engineering at Columbia University and current Dean of the School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on resilient infrastructure.

Repurposed as building components for a Danish high-rise, street benches, canopies, and even surfboards, wind turbine blades are enjoying a second lease of life within the circular economy.

Capable of pulling up to 900 millilitres of clean drinking water a day from ambient humidity, this garment relies on a sustainable fibre derived from biomass.

A cement that cools buildings using microstructures inspired by pachyderm skin joins Egyptian blue pigment and pinecone-inspired designs in the push for passive cooling.

From bacteria and light-manipulated proteins to gas fermentation, secret thermal processes, rice straw, and South Korean kimchi: innovation in biomaterials is reinventing industry for the circular economy era.

In a new era of increasingly autonomous robotics, solutions combining diverse technological fields are emerging, shifting from AI-assisted operators to intelligence acting as the operator, while humanoids become a mass phenomenon.

Wellbeing provides the common ground that brings diverse profiles together across an organisation, aligning individual differences around a shared purpose.

Work is a space to grow and develop what drives us. Values and a sense of purpose are therefore playing an increasingly central role in job satisfaction.

Planning, prioritizing, and wrapping up pending tasks reduces cognitive load and paves the way for a smoother transition into our holiday. 

The Pygmalion effect, the Golem effect, and Expectancy Theory show how expectations shape our professional development, either propelling us forward or holding us back.

The origin of the figure of the mentor goes back to “The Odyssey”, an epic poem work that shows us that behind any challenge successfully overcome, important decision, or new leadership skills acquired, there is usually someone who inspired us and helped us along the way. 

Six Sigma uses statistics and rigorous process observation to cut errors, boost quality, and streamline production across the business.
