Once again, we publish our Sustainability Report, setting out the main milestones, progress and commitments that defined our performance during 2025 and will guide our steps over the coming years. Our management approach is guided by three strategic lines: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), complemented by a fourth cross-cutting line that integrates, strengthens and enhances them. Together, they form the reference framework for our 2023-2026 Sustainability Strategy, whose cycle comes to an end this year and lays the foundations for a new stage in defining our sustainability challenges.

2025 is also a particularly significant year for us, as we celebrate 125 years of building history. This legacy inspires us to continue creating sustainable value over time, promoting solutions that contribute to the wellbeing of communities and to the development of a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable society. All of this is made possible by people: those who are part of our organisation and those who place their trust in us to bring their projects and objectives to life.

Through this Report, we once again reaffirm our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and to embedding its Ten Principles into our business management. In the same way, we renew our commitment to continue making progress in their implementation and to contribute actively to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), generating shared value for our stakeholders and for society as a whole.
