Its commitment to the social and economic progress of the countries in which it operates is realised through the development, financing and operation of engineering, civil works and construction projects, as well as new generation solutions in high added value sectors such as energy transition, digitalisation and smart mobility.

The promotion of sustainable development is one of the fundamental pillars of its corporate strategy. With values based on excellence, integrity, trust, profitability, innovation, sustainability, and confidence, the GCS works to create value for all its stakeholders.

Impact on different stakeholders

COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENT	SHAREHOLDERS AND INVESTORS	TRADE RECEIVABLES
GCS companies build and operate infrastructure that connects people, while developing key technological solutions to enable advances in a 'hyperconnected' world. In parallel to promoting innovation, GCS companies encourage the implementation of sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, while at the same time contributing to job creation.	The GCS offers its shareholders sustainable growth through investment in new-generation infrastructure and through the development of engineering projects linked to traditional sectors such as transportation. In line with its Strategic Plan 2024-2026, GCS combines its commitment to growth with attractive shareholder remuneration.	The work of GCS companies contributes to transforming customers’ activities in strategic sectors. By combining its experience in development of new-generation assets with cuttingedge skills in civil engineering and conventional infrastructure, the Group is able to effectively meet the needs of its customers, with whom it shares the risks and benefits associated with projects.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS	PEOPLE	PARTNERS AND SUPPLIERS
GCS maintains open channels of dialogue and collaboration with public administrations and institutions, who are some of the company's main customers. The Group works in coordination with them and offers its experience, technology and capacity in the development of infrastructures that benefit communities and improve the public services necessary for economic and social well-being and territorial structuring.	The professionals who comprise the GCS have become its main competitive edge. With a unified culture and shared values, the Group's employees share a common DNA based on trust, integrity and excellence. The Group promotes initiatives such as the creation of GCS University, an educational platform that draws on the experience of the different companies comprising the Group and offers all employees advanced opportunities to develop new skills and continue to grow professionally within the company.	The GCS carries out its activities hand in hand with local suppliers and collaborators, with whom it establishes two-way communication flows to share knowledge, methodologies, ideas and good practices. This philosophy is part of the Group's commitment to fostering innovation to give life to projects that have a positive impact on society and act as a catalyst for progress.

Thus, in the area of Sustainability, the GCS's strategy is based on a series of common objectives developed in the 2025 Sustainability Master Plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2021 and on those defined in the Group's Sustainability Policy. The different companies, under these common principles and with autonomy in their areas of competence, manage their resources as efficiently as possible in order to contribute to the achievement of the objectives.
