FCC Medio Ambiente obtains the triple ‘Calculate-Reduce-Offset’ seal awarded by the OECC for the fifth consecutive year
- For the fifth consecutive year, the company has renewed its highest rating in the official carbon footprint registry of the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.
- FCC Medio Ambiente has participated continuously since 2013 in the ‘Carbon Footprint, Offsetting and CO₂ Absorption Projects Registry’.
FCC Medio Ambiente has renewed its “Calculate-Reduce-Offset” seal for 2024, the latest verified period, the highest level awarded by the Spanish Office for Climate Change (OECC in Spanish) in the carbon footprint registry, and has presented its 2024-2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Plan.
The triple seal certifies the calculation, reduction and offsetting of emissions from activities such as electricity and fuel consumption, landfill operation, composting, biomethanisation, waste-to-energy conversion and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) leaks. In this edition, FCC Medio Ambiente has reduced the average emission intensity for the period 2022-2024 by 4.21% compared to the previous three-year period.
Obtaining the ‘Compenso’ seal has been possible thanks to participation in the ‘VIVEROS YANGUAS III – RÁBANO’ project, located in Valladolid, aimed at forest restoration and CO₂ absorption, developed in collaboration with RETREE & SPACE SOLUTIONS S.L.
The ‘Calculate, Reduce, Offset’ seal recognises organisations that measure and record their carbon footprint, implement effective plans to reduce their emissions and participate in certified absorption projects. With this renewal, FCC Medio Ambiente reinforces the environmental focus of its 2050 Sustainability Strategy, a long-term roadmap that sets demanding and high-value goals for the company and for society, articulated in four priority areas: environmental, social, excellence and governance.
The company's commitment to sustainability goes even further, as evidenced by the launch of its 2024-2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Plan, which sets out the company's strategy to substantially reduce its climate impact, in line with the Paris Agreement, SDG 13, the Climate Change Act and the 2030 Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan. The document sets out the roadmap to climate neutrality by 2050 and incorporates a comprehensive set of technical, operational and organisational measures, including the progressive decarbonisation of the vehicle fleet, the improvement of waste treatment facilities and the promotion of renewable energy generation.
