FCC Construcción has published its 2025 Water Footprint Assessment Report, consolidating, for the second consecutive year, the independent calculation of this indicator in line with the guidelines of the Water Footprint Network (WFN). The report, covering the company’s activities at both national and international level, reinforces its commitment to responsible water management. It has also been independently verified by AENOR, ensuring the reliability of the data and transparency towards stakeholders.

The Water Footprint measures the volume of freshwater used directly and indirectly in business activities, enabling the identification of impacts and the implementation of measures to improve efficiency and reduce pressure on water resources.

In 2025, FCC Construcción has enhanced the quality and representativeness of the calculation by updating methodological criteria and expanding its scope. Key improvements include the incorporation of new relevant materials, such as wood, the optimization of calculation factors, and strengthened control of discharges, resulting in more accurate outcomes aligned with actual operations.

The analysis covers water consumption across more than 20 countries and highlights the concentration of impacts in markets with higher levels of activity. It also underscores the significant contribution of construction materials to the overall water footprint, compared to other sources such as energy consumption.

The report also includes a sustainability analysis that integrates environmental, social, and economic dimensions, allowing water use to be assessed in relation to the geographic context of operations. In this regard, around 76.9% of the Water Footprint is generated in water-stressed areas, while approximately 31.8% is in regions with social fragility, highlighting the need to integrate these factors into water management practices.

In line with its continuous improvement approach, FCC Construcción has strengthened discharge control, data quality, and analytical processes in 2025, while also promoting internal training initiatives to encourage more efficient and responsible water management.
