The Sustainable Supplier Training Program of the UN Global Compact Spain, ICEX and Fundación ICO has facilitated the training of more than 2,300 SME suppliers from more than 72 countries.
This program provides them with knowledge and resources on corporate sustainability, as well as help in complying with the requirements of the national, European and international regulatory frameworks on the subject.
In the latest edition, this year, 40% of our suppliers have completed the training, joining the other 48 large companies that have promoted sustainability training in their respective supply chains.
This initiative was launched in 2023 with the aim of training SME suppliers of large companies in the key principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since its inception, the program has managed to train more than 5,000 supplier companies in the integration of sustainable practices into their business models.
This edition has stood out for the high level of satisfaction among the participating SMEs, as 91% of them consider that the training has been useful for their company, which underlines the confidence and effectiveness of the initiative.
For Sacyr, the impact of responsible management in its supply chain is very relevant, as it is the main barrier that large companies encounter when promoting sustainability.
2nd Edition of Business & Human Rights
The Sacyr Foundation also participated in the 2nd Edition of the Business & Human Rights Accelerator, along with 56 other companies in Spain.
This innovative six-month program is designed to train companies from all sectors and regions in the implementation of effective human rights due diligence processes.
Through practical tools and expertise, companies can ensure that their operations respect and promote human rights, contributing to the development of a more ethical and sustainable business environment.
The Business and Human Rights Accelerator program is part of the pioneering international outreach programs that the UN Global Compact offers companies to achieve real and effective action on key aspects of the 2030 Agenda and the Ten Principles of the Global Compact.
