Application of innovations in the latest contracts
FCC Medio Ambiente has recently been awarded a new contract for the maintenance of parks and grounds in the northern area of Valencia, a city where the company has been present since 1957. It boasts a workforce of around 140 people and the entire fleet has ECO or ZERO EMISSIONS environmental labels. There are also plans to gradually integrate personnel at risk of exclusion through FCC Equal, Special Employment Centre for the social and occupational integration of people with disabilities promoted by FCC Medio Ambiente.
In this new stage, an improvement plan for the landscaped areas and trees is being implemented based on the "PDCA" logic (Plan, Develop, Control and Act), which makes it possible not only to carry out a diagnosis, but establishing strong points and areas for improvement and also to associate concrete and specific actions to promote continuous improvement and to plan future lines of action. FCC Medio Ambiente runs the operations based on a tailor-made maintenance plan under criteria of sustainability, biodiversity and functionality, including efficient management of irrigation and fountains, reduction of emissions through the use of electrical machinery, reduction of the use of phytosanitary products and chemical fertilisers and an increase in the variety of tree species adapted to the climate and with low water requirements.
