Initiatives and new memberships:

Our priority is to dedicate resources and effort to improving our procedures and practices in matters of Corporate Responsibility, and to this end we have joined and take an active part in various associations to bring us closer to this goal.

In 2002 we joined the United Nations' Global Compact, an initiative aimed at encouraging companies to adopt ten principles related to human rights, work conditions, the environment and the fight against corruption as an integral part of their strategy and operations. We also form part of the local Global Compact networks of Spain (Red Española del Pacto Mundial), Argentina (Grupo Promotor del Pacto Global en Argentina) and Bolivia.

The company is a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Founded in 2003, the initiative promotes a framework of transparency between companies in the extractive sector and the governments of their host countries, so as to reduce poverty and promote the social-economic development of countries with extractive resources.

The European Commission is playing a leading role in the European effort to make our roads safer. In this way, institutions, associations and companies have the opportunity to share ideas and practices across Europe, so that all the bodies taking part can learn from each other and increase their knowledge of how risks on European roads can be avoided. We have been part of this initiative since 2005, and have signed the European Commission's road safety initiative, in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents and victims.

We are a member of Proteus, a project started in 2002 under the auspices of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). This initiative envisages a decentralised, simple and advanced system which enables the storage and management of information on protected areas, as well as reporting on trends in this field. All this while also conforming to best practices and enabling the simple integration of other information sources and user opinions.
