1,500 ACCIONA managers will go on a sustainability training course

The aim is to create a leadership culture based on sustainable development.

The special three-month, online course was designed by Cambridge University and the "Entorno" Foundation.

A total 1,500 members of ACCIONA's senior and middle management team have embarked on a pioneering company-wide sustainability training scheme.

The "Chronos" program aims to give managers a corporate vision of ACCIONA's contribution  to sustainable development. It is also a tool designed to help foster the values and commitments required to meet the economic, social and environmental challenges faced by ACCIONA today.

The three-month, online training scheme was designed jointly by Cambridge University and the "Entorno-BSCD España" Foundation, and comprises six units, each aimed at getting managers to think hard about how the environment (in a broad sense of the term) affects the value of the company. Moreover, it provides valuable insights on how that influence can be turned into sustainable value for the company and its business.

The program is further proof of ACCIONA's unwavering commitment to preparing its entire workforce for the challenges of sustainable development. There are many advantages for the company and its management team:

• Obtain a strategic vision of the relationship between sustainable development and ACCIONA's business.
• Link the results of each manager's activities to the results of ACCIONA's three dimensions: economic, environmental and social.
• Provide resources for team-management by applying a new business vision based on sustainable development.
• Create a business-leadership culture based on sustainable development.

This search for solutions requires leadership and talent, among other pillars.
