The Company achieved the highest rating and joins the CDP Water A list 2016, which contains only 24 companies out of the 2,500 worldwide that were surveyed.

ACCIONA is the only Spanish company —  and one of only two utilities — in this prestigious list.

The results, announced today in Marrakech in the framework of COP22, focus on the Company's use of best practices in sustainable water management, rating aspects such as responsible water use, improvement goals, and the strategy and approach to managing water-related risks and opportunities.

ACCIONA views water as a limited and irreplaceable natural resource; accordingly, its water management strategy takes account of water availability and quality and the potential impact on ecosystem balance. The Company will continue to step up its efforts in this area through the commitments made in its Sustainability Master Plan 2020. Through 2020, ACCIONA  plans to develop and operate infrastructure that will provide water to another 9 million people and treat wastewater for another 12 million people, with the result that it will have over 110 million users.

CDPopens in a new tab is an international non-profit organisation that works with 827 institutional investors, with a total portfolio worth 100 trillion dollars, to provide a global system under which companies and cities can measure, report, manage and share meaningful environmental information.
