At the recent Plenary Meeting of the European CEN/TC 350 "Sustainability in Building Construction" Committee held in Stockholm, it was agreed to create a new working group on "Sustainability in Civil Engineering Works", headed by Antonio Burgueño, the Quality and Training Director of FCC Construcción, with the favorable vote of all of the member countries and one single abstention, the United Kingdom. This group was born out of the purpose of standardizing sustainability in civil engineering works and thus incorporating it into the work schedule of the European Committee which had been focusing its work exclusively on building construction until that time.

Through Antonio Burgueño, FCC Construcción is currently heading some of the main working groups in which the foundations are being laid regarding the definition and evaluation of Sustainability and the Environment in the Construction of Infrastructures. In particular, FCC has held the Chairmanship since 2007 of the International Working Group "ISO/TC59/SC17/WG5 - Sustainability in Buildings and Civil Engineering Works.", as well as the Chairmanship of the Spanish sub-committee "AEN/CTN198/SC2 - Sustainability in Construction. Civil Works", since 2008.

This new line of work enriches the universal nature of the new standard in ISO development with the immediate applicability of the European standard (European Committee for Standardization), on the part of the European Union member States.

The creation of the "Working group on civil works" under the leadership of FCC Construcción, is yet further recognition of the work and commitment to Sustainability on the part of this firm and its professionals.
