In a global context marked by the climate emergency and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Abertis has managed to reduce its direct emissions by 25% (Scope 1, which includes fuel combustion and the transport of its own fleet) and indirect emissions (Scope 2, which refers to greenhouse gases). This objective has been achieved in just five years and now, the company has set itself a new, even more ambitious challenge: to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030. This is how the group specialized in infrastructure and mobility management successfully completes its first ESG Plan (in English, environmental, social and governance) 2022-2024.

A year ago, none of the nine young people had any idea about circuits or voltages, and today, under the guidance of a teacher, they have been able to assemble photovoltaic panels and electric charging stations for vehicles. By the end of May, and after 930 hours of training and practice, they will be able to work as assistants in the renewable energy sector. And if they pass the exam for the green certificate, they will even be qualified to sign electrical reports. Dayana González, 28 and the mother of a two-year-old, is the only woman on the team. With a safety helmet in hand, she explains that she already dreams of starting her own company and being its leader.
