FCC joined in the celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities and reminds is of its daily efforts to maintain and strength its commitment to this group and to becoming an increasingly diverse and socially responsible company, promoting actions and projects to foster inclusion and equal opportunity through employment. 

This year, the theme of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is "Participation and leadership of people with disabilities: 2030 Development Agenda". It focuses on the empowerment of people with disabilities for inclusive, equitable and sustainable development, and a commitment to "leave no one behind", considering disability as a transversal issue in the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). 
More than 1,200 people in the FCC Group have a recognised disability, as do more than a thousand million people worldwide, 80% of them in developed countries.

FCC's commitment to diversity and workplace inclusion involve different actions and management strategies, such as:

•    Direct contracting and through specialised entities like the Once-Inserta and the La Caixa Foundations. 
•    Promoting purchases and the contracting of services with Special Employment Centres, a benchmark for which is FCC Equal belonging to FCC Medio Ambiente.
•    Supporting education and entrepreneurship programs, collaborating with the Prevent Foundation "Aula Emprendedores" for entrepreneurs with disabilities.
•    Working on the accessibility of our buildings, adapting spaces and making them suitable.

Thanks to our commitment to talent, inclusion and diversity
This year, the ONCE Foundation would like to thank us for our commitment to talent, inclusion and diversity and invites us to celebrate the more than 24,000 stories of improvement resulting from contracting professionals with disabilities in INSERTA companies, in which FCC has been involved for more than 10 years.

Thanks to our commitment to building a future together with diverse talent for sustainable companies, people with "disABILITY" like María, Domingo, Nieves and Rubén have been able to write a new life story of equality, reinvention and improvement, because as the motto of the ONCE Foundation campaign says, "working is a story."

By sharing their stories, we let the world know about the desire to work, to reinvent themselves, to get ahead and to overcome obstacles of many people they represent, and the values that in the current context are more necessary and commendable than ever.
