Sustainable Development

In the context of furthering the development of society, we try to give an example of maximum responsibility in all our actions.

With the approval of the Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Agbar Group Employees and of the Corporate Environmental Code, in 2002, the Group has attached value to and started the dissemination of the priorities and behaviour models which are of the utmost importance in our organization.

Likewise, after joining the Global Compact , in 2002, an initiative led by the United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, the Agbar Group is committed to embrace, support and enact, within its sphere of influence, a set of core values in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.

Technological progress is also a value assumed by the Agbar Group, focusing on encouragement, management and coordination of research, development and innovation through CETaqua (Water technology centre), which collaborates in developing a wide range of projects together with the Group’s different companies and external partners.

On the other hand, during 2004 the Museu Agbar de les Aigüeswas inaugurated. This is proof of the Group’s commitment to the encouragement of dialogue and participation with regard to society and the environment.

All these initiatives are included, together with the commitments taken on with each of the strategic stakeholders, in the Corporate Responsibility Report.
