The IV Sacyr Foundation Week took place between November 15 and 22 with many activities in Spain, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and the U.S. with the focus on achieving a goal under the claim "Actions that add up". Well, our actions have added up to €3,000 that will go to Cris contra el Cáncer, to investigate treatments for childhood sarcoma.

We organized many events in the countries mentioned above, almost 40 international actions. You can consult the complete program of activities and volunteering that we organize in this calendar.

We held a solidarity raffle of three Christmas baskets(we sold 616 tickets) that went to Luis Azcona Rivera (first prize); Ana Sánchez Argudo (second prize), and Blanca Alonso (third prize).

Congratulations to all three and thank you for your solidarity!

In addition, María Ruiz-Casaux won the Real Madrid jersey signed by Kylian Mbappé in the solidarity auction as she made the highest bid: €525.

Congratulations María and thank you for your great contribution!

Our volunteers from the Sacyr Band gave a unique recital on Thursday at the Honky Tonk (Madrid), for which we sold 220 tickets. We also held charity flea markets at the Madrid offices of Condesa de Venadito, Martínez Villergas and Esplandiú .

We organized three webinars: Camino del Pacífico and Ecosistemas del Dique (Colombia) and an international weRSoCial with the participation of all the countries that participated in this week of solidarity.

Many volunteers

We always say that the heart of the Sacyr Foundation is its volunteers, so this week we carried out a wide variety of actions that all of you were able to join.

Thank you for your hours of solidarity!

During this week of solidarity, a group of eight Sacyr volunteers also visited the Turkana (Kenya) project of the Emalaikat Foundation, with which the Sacyr Foundation collaborates.

The director of the Sacyr Foundation, Pedro Alonso, received yesterday the solidarity award "Corazones que Ayudan, Personas que Transforman" (Hearts that Help, People that Transform), from the Fundación del Lesionado Medular (FLM) .

The award was presented by the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for the collaboration of the Sacyr Foundation with the FLM. The Sacyr Foundation collaborates with the neurorehabilitation program for children between six and 18 years of age in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability and/or family.

Families with disabled children in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability need the help of third parties to be able to cover the costs of a decent, adequate and effective rehabilitation for their children.

The project is divided into three phases:

-Selection the social work department together with administration will evaluate the applications for access to rehabilitation services.
Development, in which the beneficiary children will receive two individualized specialized rehabilitation sessions per week, with the aim of improving their personal autonomy, training the beneficiary in self-care and their families in assistance and support to ensure maximum efficiency of treatment inside and outside the center.
-Evaluation : a report will be drawn up to demonstrate the benefits of the treatment received.

After this phase, the minors and their families may choose to continue their treatment in the formula they best need, although they will be equipped with the tools to take care of their personal autonomy and maintain their health in a more domiciliary environment, always with the advice of the FLM.

The Sacyr Foundation has signed a collaboration agreement with the Sifu Foundation to collaborate in the SuperArte program, which will promote the social and labor inclusion of 100 people with disabilities in the world of music and dance.

The program seeks to enhance their artistic skills through quality training, provide them with greater visibility, and open up employment opportunities in the cultural sector, thus helping to break down prejudices and demonstrate that art has no limits. SuperArte was created in response to the lack of real opportunities for training, visibility and employment for artists with disabilities.

The program is divided into three main areas:

Training:

- Training scholarships: Scholarships to 20 people with disabilities so that they can train in schools and conservatories of reference.
- Guidance and advice: offers guidance and advice to 100 artists with masterclasses, mentoring and specialized technical support.

Job placement:

- Personalized itineraries: Designs paths adapted to the level, pace and needs of each participant.
- Real artistic employment: Creates job opportunities through galas, events and collaborations with companies in the cultural sector.

Innovation:

- Accessible technology: Incorporates accessible tools such as EyeHarp or Travel Sax so that anyone can make music.
- Visibility on major stages: Gives visibility to talent in top-level venues, demonstrating that disability does not limit art.

The beneficiaries will participate in the main SuperArte shows, including the one at the Teatro Real in Madrid, already held and in which we were present through our Foundation, and the one in Vigo.

The project started on September 1, 2025 and will run until October 1, 2026, during which time the training actions, orientation processes and individualized follow-up of the participants will be carried out.

Hoy se celebra el Dia Internacional de los Voluntarios. Por este motivo, os queremos dar las gracias a todos los que dedicais parte de vuestro tiempo a las actividades organizadas por la Fundación Sacyr.

En el video de la noticia, se muestran algunos de los voluntariados que organizamos con motivo de la celebración de la IV Semana de la Fundación Sacyr entre el 15 y el 22 de noviembre.

Según datos de 2024, la Fundación Sacyr ha llevado a cabo 78 actividades, de las que 46 son voluntariados con la participación de más de 750 voluntarios con 14.700 horas cargadas de solidaridad. Estas acciones de voluntariado se desarrollan a través de las 72 entidades con las que la Fundación Sacyr tiene acuerdos de colaboración.

Con un impacto directo en más de 60.000 personas y un alcance indirecto que supera las 670.000, durante 2024, nuestra Fundación ha consolidado su acción social en siete países: Colombia, Chile, Perú, Estados Unidos, Kenia, Paraguay y España, lo que refleja su compromiso con la creación de oportunidades y la mejora de la calidad de vida en las comunidades donde opera.

Club del Voluntariado

El Club del Voluntariado funciona en todos los países donde tenemos actividad y se centra en sus seis ejes de actuación: infancia, medioambiente, inclusión, emergencia, discapacidad, asistencia sanitaria con el voluntariado como eje transversal.

Este club es el corazón de la acción social de la Fundación, donde nuestros empleados dedican su tiempo y esfuerzo para ayudar a los más necesitados.

Estas iniciativas nos permiten avanzar en los ODS, especialmente en áreas críticas como la erradicación de la pobreza, la educación de calidad, la salud y el bienestar, y la reducción de las desigualdades.

Alejandro tiene discapacidad y es miembro de la Fundación A La Par. Le conocimos el pasado 3 de diciembre en la charla online que celebramos dentro de nuestro formato weRSocial con motivo del Día de las Personas con Discapacidad.

Fundación Sacyr, que trabaja con A La Par, nos acercó a esta entidad, que tanto aporta a la vida de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y a sus familias. .

La madre de Alejandro, María, nos explicó el calvario que habían pasado hasta llegar A La Par. “Allí hay una felicidad y alegría que no hay en ningún sitio, porque todos se quieren un montón", explica María.

“Allí me siento muy feliz. Mucha gente me quiere. Estoy trabajando en el taller de chuches”, explicó Alejandro en un encuentro emotivo que puedes ver en este link.

Educación enfocada en personas con discapacidad

Iciar Hermida, directora de Voluntariado Corporativo Fundación A la Par, nos explicó que cuentan con un colegio para personas con discapacidad de entre 12 y 21 años, con un total de 120 alumnos. También dan formación en comercio, hostelería y administración de empresas, entre otros. Un 80% de estos alumnos consiguen prácticas.

Uno de ellos es Paula, quien también participó en este webinar. Paula nos contó su experiencia trabajando como administrativa en empresas conocidas. “Lo único que pedimos es que nos escuchen. Nos comprendan y nos enseñen, y no nos juzguen”, contaba durante el encuentro.

Junto a ella, Yusenka Sordo, de la Oficina de Empleo A la Par, nos dió tips acerca del mundo laboral de personas con discapacidad. Funda Jobs, su servicio de empleo para personas con discapacidad intelectual y trastornos del espectro del autismo, ayuda a que estas personas consigan un empleo para que puedan ser autónomos y tener una vivienda. “Hemos atendido a 644 personas, con 233 inserciones laborales”, señaló.

Según Yusenka, una persona con discapacidad ayuda a tener equipos más inclusivos, genera un clima más empático, colaborador, con menos estrés, más creativo, ayuda a tener más satisfacción en el trabajo, y eso el equipo lo nota. 

María Notario, gerente de Diversidad, Equidad e Inclusión, cerró el encuentro. “A mí me gustaría lanzar un mensaje de reflexión, la inclusión empieza en lo más cotidiano, en una simple conversación, es importante dar visibilidad y reconocer estas historias y los logros conseguidos”, explica Notario.

“En Sacyr somos conscientes de que familias como la de Alejandro y la de Paula padecen un desgaste emocional y psicológico superior a otras familias. Por eso, en Sacyr lanzamos hace dos años Sacyr de la Mano, cuya finalidad es acompañar y cuidar a las personas y plantillas con discapacidad o enfermedad grave con un programa de medidas y ayudas”, explicó.

We have once again participated in the III edition of the Sustainable Suppliers program to collaborate in their transition to more sustainable business models. This year, 43% of our suppliers have completed the training, a percentage that adds to those of the other 48 large companies that have promoted sustainability training in their respective supply chains.

The Sustainable Supplier Training Program of the UN Global Compact Spain, ICEX and Fundación ICO has facilitated the training of more than 2,300 SME suppliers from more than 72 countries.

This initiative was launched in 2023 with the aim of training SMEs suppliers of large companies in the key principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since its inception, the program has managed to train more than 5,000 supplier companies in the integration of sustainable practices in their business models.

This edition has stood out for the high level of satisfaction among participating SMEs, with 91% of them considering the training to have been useful for their company, underscoring the confidence and effectiveness of the initiative.

The Sacyr Foundation has been recognized by the Food Bank Foundation of Madrid as one of the outstanding companies for its collaboration and solidarity, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the entity, celebrated in 2024.

The award was collected by our colleague Esther Moral on October 29th at the headquarters of this Madrid-based organization. The Food Bank highlighted the Foundation's commitment to this entity, mainly in its milk and olive oil collection campaigns, and Sacyr's commitment to the fight against hunger and support for the most vulnerable people.

On October 29, 2024, thousands of people were affected by the floods caused by the heavy rains and subsequent floods that affected Albacete and Valencia (Spain). Both Sacyr and the Sacyr Foundation have promoted initiatives, and we have joined others, to help the population and the reconstruction of this area.

Solidarity began with our professionals, who, in collaboration with the Sacyr Foundation, donated more than 52,000 euros to those affected. The Red Cross was responsible for transforming this money into work on the ground to alleviate the effects of the storm.

In addition, our colleagues in the UK, together with several contractors, donated three pumps to the Catarroja fire department to remove sewage, a pressing problem after the rains.

Sacyr Agua professionals worked to repair high-pressure equipment damaged by the storm and to restore the water supply to homes in the affected area. We also sent cleaning trucks to Paiporta, at ground zero of the disaster, to unblock the sewage network, which was flooded by mud.

Aid to five entities

The Board of Trustees of the Sacyr Foundation has attended to the existing needs in the disaster area during 2025 and has approved aid to five associations: Casa Caridad, Educo, Fundación Colisée, Red Acoge and FEVADIS.

We recently visited the Educo Foundation and the Colisée Foundation to see in situ the work they carry out. Educo provides a safe space for children, adolescents, their families and the entire community in the most affected areas to whom it offers psychological support, school reinforcement, training, and legal and social advice to facilitate their integral development.

The drought affected more than 163,000 schoolchildren and left 90 public schools directly impacted, 12 of which were in a critical situation. We also collaborated with the Colisée Foundation, which assists elderly people affected by the floods. It is working on the reconstruction of their homes and the acquisition of essential items to improve their quality of life.

During the visit, we had the opportunity to hear the moving testimony of Dolores, who lost everything that October 29: her home, her personal belongings, household goods, documentation, furniture.... "Thanks to the Sacyr Foundation I have been able to fix my house and now I will need time to make it mine. I have lost everything and now I need to rebuild my life", Dolores explained to our Foundation partner.

The Sacyr Foundation has cooperated with Colisée to rebuild her home.

Nuestra compañera Esther Moral ha participado en el 14.º Foro de la ONU sobre Empresas y Derechos Humanos, que se ha celebrado del 24 al 26 de noviembre en Ginebra. Este evento internacional reúne a más de 4.000 participantes de gobiernos, empresas, sociedad civil, inversores y organismos internacionales.

Sacyr ha compartido experiencias junto con otras empresas españolas y otras entidades especializadas en derechos humanos (SERES, Conese, Cámara de Comercio de Perú, ICEX, BHR, etc). Nuestra presencia en este foro nos permite visibilizar nuestro liderazgo en sostenibilidad, compartir buenas prácticas, anticiparnos a nuevas normativas europeas como la CSDDD, y conectar con actores clave del ecosistema global de derechos humanos.

Además, este evento ofrece una plataforma para influir en la agenda internacional, gestionar riesgos reputacionales y operativos, y reforzar la visibilidad de la compañía como referente en responsabilidad empresarial.

La participación activa en este tipo de espacios fortalece la reputación de nuestra compañía ante agencias de calificación ESG y demuestra nuestro compromiso con los Principios Rectores de la ONU.
 

On October 22nd, the Sacyr Foundation attended the event organized by the Rementería Foundation to thank volunteers and collaborating companies, like us, for their involvement and commitment.

The event featured two very special presentations. On the one hand, Marta Arce, Paralympic judoka with three Olympic medals, shared her inspiring story of overcoming, effort and sporting values. On the other, Jota, triathlete and motivational speaker, spoke about how sport can transform lives and promote inclusion. Both moved the audience with their testimonies full of strength and hope.

The Rementería Foundation collaborates to ensure that the greatest number of people at risk of exclusion can have a quality ophthalmological service and fight against the lack of opportunities in the Community of Madrid and Colombia.

Volunteering at Faunia with Down Madrid

On Saturday, October 25, 15 Sacyr employees, accompanied by their families, participated in a day of volunteering at Faunia with boys and girls from Down Madrid. It was a day full of joy, learning and connection, in which they were able to enjoy the animals together and share unique moments.

These activities reinforce Sacyr's commitment to inclusion and family volunteering.
