Environmental performance

The main environmental impacts in Services and Concessions directly arise from the consumption of fuel by company and subcontracted fleets of vehicles in the collection of urban solid waste, street clearing, the transport of passengers and integral logistic services.

The ACS Group, through Urbaser, manages 63 waste treatment and recycling plants with an installed capacity of 9.52 million tons. In 2005 over 7.3 million tons were treated, the equivalent of the use of 77% of the installed capacity.

Additionally, the ACS Group is responsible for the supply and treatment of water consumed by approximately three million people in Spain, Argentina, Colombia and Morocco, i.e. around 270 million cubic meters per year. For the ACS Group, the sustainable management of water is key resource in its commitment to the environment and to sustainability.
