The SA8000 standard, endorsed by the United Nations Global Compact, International Labor Organization standards, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and national legislation, establishes the conditions necessary to ensure a safe and healthy working environment, freedom of association and collective bargaining, and socially responsible business management.
To renew the certification, we have updated the training on the standard, available through Explora, in order to further strengthen our ethical culture and prepare for future challenges.
The renewal process has been demanding, but thanks to the effort and collaboration of professionals from different areas of the company, we have successfully passed all external audits. We would like to highlight the work of the Social Performance Team (EDS), the group in charge of complying with this standard, made up of representatives of the company and its employees.
What's new
Among the new developments, the SA8000 standard is in the process of being updated and Sacyr is already preparing to assume its new requirements, which will come into force in 2026. This work will allow us to reinforce our management systems and advance in continuous improvement.
With this renewed certification, we strengthen our position in the international market, improve the management of our value chain and demonstrate our responsibility in participating in global contracts. Another challenge met by working as a team.
