Sacyr makes CDP´S "Double A" list for transparency in climate change and water security leadership

  •  Sacyr is among the top 4% of best scored companies by CDP, the world's leading independent environmental disclosure platform.

Sacyr has made it into CDP's prestigious 'Double A List', recognizing the company's leadership in both climate change and water security. CDP is a non-profit organization running the world's largest environmental disclosure system.

Inclusion on the 'Double A List' demonstrates Sacyr's commitment to addressing today’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Sacyr achieved an "A" score for climate for the fourth consecutive year, driven by its comprehensive decarbonization strategy and proactive climate risk management. In water security, the company has maintained its leadership position for the third year, earning an "A" grade that highlights its dedication to protecting vital water resources.

CDP assesses and scores over 24,800 companies, maintaining the world's largest environmental database, aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). CDP data is a catalyst for change, enabling harmonization of climate and nature with economic imperatives. Disclosed information is a critical resource used by policymakers, governments, investors, purchasers, and financial institutions.

CDP's scoring is based on voluntary and comprehensive disclosure of environmental data, providing a robust assessment of how companies manage climate change and water-related risks and opportunities. Inclusion on CDP’s ‘A List’ recognizes those companies leading the transition to a more sustainable and resilient economy.

Patricia Martínez Íñigo, Sacyr's Chief Sustainability, Environment and Innovation Officer, stated: "Our fourth consecutive year in the leadership band of CDP's rigorous environmental disclosure process confirms the strength and consistency of our strategy. By reducing emissions and managing water resources responsibly, we are creating long-term value for our customers, investors, and the communities we serve."

Advancing Decarbonization

This year, Sacyr reinforced its climate leadership by revalidating its science-based targets. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has rigorously reviewed Sacyr's targets and affirmed that they are aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, the most ambitious designation available.

Specifically, Sacyr has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2020 base year, and to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions – covering purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, and waste generated in operations – by 25% within the same timeframe.

Sacyr's Decarbonization Plan comprises more than 300 projects implemented across its business lines and locations.

Water Positive

Sacyr was the first Ibex 35 company to have its water footprint verified according to the ISO 14046 standard. In 2025, AENOR has certified this verification for the fourth consecutive year, demonstrating Sacyr's leading role in water resource protection within the infrastructure sector.

Sacyr aims to reduce its own water consumption by at least 5% by 2027 across all its activities, in both high and low water stress areas. To achieve this, the company assesses its water footprint to understand, identify, and evaluate the actual and potential impacts related to freshwater and marine environments.

Sacyr's wastewater treatment activities significantly improve water quality.

Additionally, the desalination plants managed by Sacyr Water provide fresh water to regions facing high water stress, creating a positive impact on the environment.

Artificial Intelligence for Predicting Road Condition

The Apromac project allows us to estimate key road surface indicators. By integrating these indicators with external factors such as weather conditions, we obtain an accurate view of the actual condition of the roads, both in the short and long term.

At Sacyr we build and maintain thousands of kilometers of road infrastructure around the world. Knowing its condition and anticipating its evolution is vital to guarantee its functionality and safety.

The Report on Investment Needs in Conservation 2025 of the Spanish Road Association estimates that the required amount to fine-tune the national road network is €13.5 Bn. This all-time record figure represents a 43% increase compared to 2022.

Recognizing this need, Sacyr is developing Apromac, a tool that predicts the state of road surfaces. To do this, we apply technologies such as Big Data and artificial intelligence to predict the evolution of the main parameters of the condition of road infrastructure.

"Not only do we use data from the infrastructure itself, but in the analysis we also incorporate standardized information from other Sacyr Concesiones roads and studies on the influence of factors like temperature and rainfall," explains Sergio Campos, project manager.

This tool allows us to improve planning through predictive models for deterioration indicators such as macrotexture, ruts (depressions in the wheel path), and the transverse friction coefficient (TFC), an indicator of skid resistance. In addition, various types of models have been trained and validated to identify which one offers greater accuracy in predictions.

The first project milestone was reached at the end of 2023 and the second is planned for the end of 2025.

 

 
 

Apromac was developed using data from several roads managed by Sacyr: Ruta del Desierto and Limarí (Chile); Turia, Pamasa, Eresma and Aunor (Spain); Pamplona-Cúcuta (Colombia); and Pirámides-Tulancingo-Pachuca (Mexico).

This project has a €500,000 budget and will run until December 31, 2025. Once completed, Sacyr Concesiones will have an advanced tool for long-term prediction of road behavior.

Apromac is co-financed by the European Union, with funding from European Funds, the Spanish Ministry of Finance, and CDTI through the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

In the future, this tool will have two major impacts: it will allow for better-informed reinvestment strategies in road tenders, considering factors such as project year and financial impact; and it will facilitate monitoring in the operation phase, enabling more efficient planning and execution of necessary road maintenance based on predicted degradation.
