Communities
We believe that business success goes beyond financial results; it also lies in the positive impact we make in the communities where we operate.
Each initiative is grounded in our Social and Environmental Sustainability Standard, which is aligned with our Sustainability Policy.
This policy sets the general guidelines for designing and prioritising our impact projects:
01
Alignment
02
Prevention and mitigation
03
Compliance
04
Creating value
For the business and our stakeholders.
05
Requirements
Our goal with the communities surrounding our operations is to be seen as partners who drive positive and lasting change, addressing the essential needs that foster community development.
Our Business Units have the potential to improve mobility, reduce geographical barriers and facilitate access to essential services;
however, we also recognise that they can have social impacts that require active and responsible management. That is why we work every day to strengthen our methodologies, ensuring that we contribute positively to communities and establish ourselves as a Good Neighbour.
In 2025, we took decisive steps towards further professionalising our social work. In line with our Social and Environmental Sustainability Standard, which operates within the framework of the Sustainability Policy, we are increasing the rigour with which we design and evaluate social impact projects, starting with the introduction of an impact measurement methodology.
Social strategy:
Two essential pillars
Education in motion
We Are All Road Safety
Formulation procedure for impact measurement
In 2025, we strengthened the capabilities of our global sustainability teams through three social impact workshops and by providing support as they launched their social initiatives. In 2025, 17% of social projects implemented the new impact measurement methodology, with the goal of reaching at least 30% of projects by 2026.
The stages of the procedure are:
1
Defining the social issue
2
Identifying stakeholders
3
Defining variables
4
Defining resources
5
Planning activities
6
Defining outputs
7
Defining outcomes
8
Describing the impact
Areas of focus for social impact
Year after year, we contribute to the implementation of impactful projects that benefit the surrounding communities, categorised into the following areas:
Educational Impact
Impact on Road Safety
Community Impact
Local Economic Impact
Environmental Impact

AUNOR, Peru
Sembrando desarrollo (sowing development)
The Sembrando Desarrollo project aimed to strengthen the agricultural production capabilities of the communities within the Huambacho Peasant Community. To this end, technical and practical training was provided to improve asparagus crop management techniques, standardise production processes, and increase agricultural yields. Additionally, technical support was provided through a pilot plot that was used as a hands-on learning space. Efforts were also made to strengthen organisational and community management capacities.
Through this project:
community members took part in 13 training sessions.
Two hectares of asparagus were successfully cultivated on the pilot plot, yielding 3,000 kg
and generating an income of around €3,100 from the initial harvest.
An investment of over
was made to bring the three-year project (2023–2025) to life.
This covered technical resources, specialised training and ongoing field support to ensure sustainable results
A35 Brebemi, Italy
Road safety education project
This initiative was developed by the Italian Traffic Police Service and A35 Brebemi as part of Autostradafacendo, a road safety program run by motorway operators.
The main goal is to raise awareness among children and young people aged 11 to 19 about the importance of safe behaviour on the road.
This includes topics such as wearing seat belts, distracted driving, active mobility, and the risks associated with alcohol and drug use.
All of this was made possible thanks to the active involvement of schools and institutional collaboration between the police and road operators, in line with the European Vision Zero goal to reduce road accidents.
ARM, Colombia
Del rosa al amarillo (from pink to yellow)
It began as an initiative to promote women’s inclusion in a sector that has historically been male dominated: road construction and infrastructure. In the Antioquia and Santander subregions where the project operates, women’s participation in roles such as machinery operation and road construction stands at just 0.83%.
In light of this situation, the strategy aims to create opportunities for training, technical skills development and employment connections for women in the seven municipalities within the project’s direct area of influence: Puerto Berrío, Maceo, Vegachí, Yalí, Yolombó, Remedios and Cimitarra.
This program positively impacted 235 families and a total of 705 people.
Following this success, a new call for applications was launched for training in light and heavy vehicle driving, including courses in defensive driving, first aid, road safety, and basic mechanics.
NP and PI, Chile
Fondos concursables (grant funds)
This program aims to drive local projects with a social impact, encourage participation, and strengthen organisational capabilities, thereby contributing to sustainable development and the strengthening of the social fabric. Through open calls, organisations can submit their projects to receive technical support throughout the process.
The selected projects are funded, implemented, and subsequently evaluated with a focus on transparency and accountability.
In Nogales-Puchuncaví,
the fund was implemented in partnership with Fundación La Semilla, and the call for proposals attracted participation from 29 community organisations.
In the 2025 financial year, two projects were selected and received an investment of approximately
In Puente Industrial,
the “Somos Puente” fund was developed in partnership with Fundación Trascender and targeted six schools in San Pedro de la Paz and Hualpeén. What made it unique was that the students themselves took the lead, identifying the needs of their school communities and proposing initiatives for funding in areas such as social development, culture, sports, the environment, and infrastructure.
In total, the program reached over 200 beneficiaries.
Success story:
The Santa Ana Jilotzingo Community Greenhouse, fostering social development through sustainable infrastructure
As part of the construction of the Atizapán-Atlacomulco motorway (AT-AT), we have been driving the community greenhouse project in Santa Ana Jilotzingo.
- Our vision extends beyond simply building 77 kilometres of road.
- We aim to promote food sovereignty and the local economy.
- The Santa Ana Jilotzingo greenhouse is one of the 17 sustainable production projects we are currently supporting.
- Covering 1,360 m2, this facility features drip irrigation technology and efficient water management systems, enabling an estimated annual production of 20 tonnes of tomatoes.
This project was co-created with the community, which recognised this crop's high profitability and a genuine opportunity for growth.
We provided specialised technical training through the Agroforesta organisation, ensuring participants gained advanced knowledge in sustainable agriculture.
The true success of this initiative is not just measured by the tonnes harvested, but by its ability to transform lives.
Local roots and employment opportunities:
Strengthening the social fabric:
The project is managed by a committee made up of community members. The daily work in the greenhouse has strengthened the bonds between neighbours, bringing families together and fostering a community spirit based on the value of shared effort.
Self-management and the future:
All profits from sales remain entirely within the community. This allows profits to be reinvested in new production, ensuring the project’s long-term viability and enabling it to scale.
