Living Wage Employer

Sacyr UK&I is a Living Wage Employer. This certification attests to our Living Wage commitment seeing to that every Sacyr employee in the UK and Ireland makes at least a minimum hourly wage of £13.15.

The Living Wage rate is calculated and updated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that choose to ensure their staff earn a wage that meets the costs and pressures they face in their everyday lives. 

Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Sacyr has joined the movement of over 14,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.

By adhering to this commitment, we recognize that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer.

Innovating to improve people's lives

We laid the first road surface in Chile that incorporates pre-treated pulverized rubber (RARx). This innovation allows us to repair and build roads with a lower environmental impact. The reason is that this material uses mixtures of polymers from scrapped tires. We estimate that, for every kilometer of road built using this technology, it’s possible to prevent approximately 100 bus and truck tires from ending up in landfills.

To develop and validate this technique, various trial sections had to be build at different sites managed by Sacyr within the Metropolitan region. 

These kinds of composite materials have already proven their functional and structural advantages, from a social, economic, and environmental perspective, in other countries. They reduce noise pollution, dampening down traffic noise by up to 5 decibels. They also increase the service life of the road surface and give a new lease of life to industrial waste such as scrapped tires, which can be reused to build and repair roads.
