Sustainability - ROADIS

Sustainable commitment

At ROADIS we want to be an active part of
the transition to a more sustainable world. We work every day to transversally integrate
sustainability in all the infrastructure projects we manage.

Our understanding of sustainability, in line with our purpose and strategic vision, is to create long-term value in the communities and countries in which we operate.

We are aware that, by improving connectivity between people and places, infrastructure contributes to economic development and social well-being. We contribute to sustainable development by providing essential services through our business. 

Our sustainability strategy is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and focuses on five lines of work. Each of them responds to the priorities our stakeholders identified through a materiality analysis and aims to generate a positive and measurable social and environmental impact.

Sustainability Master Plan

Our Sustainability Master Plan responds to the main challenges we face and guides us on our path towards a sustainable economic model.

The five main pillars of the Sustainability Master Plan are:

1 Responsible culture

Our purpose is to create long-term value in the communities in which we operate by investing in and managing infrastructure projects around the world.

2 Good Governance & Compliance

We run our business with ethics and integrity, we lead the fight against corruption and prioritize transparency to maintain a relationship of trust with our stakeholders.

3 Engaged Professionals

We care for the health and safety of our teams, we are committed to talent and we promote diversity to achieve our common goals.

4 Citizenship progress

We foster the economic development and social well-being of communities and prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our users while promoting sustainable mobility.

5 Environmental care

We are committed to protecting and respecting the environment and therefore make efficient use of natural resources and energy to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Sustainable Development Goals

In 2022 we formally joined the United Nations Global Compact. This initiative aims to accompany businesses in the transition process towards a more sustainable business model, based on the   Sustainable Development Goals.

Through our activity, we make a special contribution to 8 of the 17 SDGs:

3 GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. ROADIS is concerned about the health and well-being of its employees, communities and users. For this reason, we have a solid Health and Safety policy, we carry out Road Safety campaigns and other awareness-raising actions aimed at users and the community.

8 DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. We contribute to SDG 8 not only through direct job creation but also through the economic value generated by the management of infrastructures that promote mobility and connectivity among people.
9 INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE. Our impact on SDG 9 is realized through the development and management of new infrastructure, as well as greenfield and industrial projects. In addition, we are firmly committed to innovation and want it to be part of the company’s DNA.
11 SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES. Our businesses facilitate the connectivity and mobility of people, services and goods. We are committed to the sustainable development of the cities and communities in which we operate.
12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION. We contribute to the transformation of the current model of consumption and production by developing circular economy practices, committing to efficient waste management and the sustainable use of natural resources.
13 CLIMATE ACTION. We are committed to fighting climate change and transitioning to a low-carbon economy, reducing our footprint and strengthening the resilience of our roads.
16 PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS. Transparency, ethics, good governance and regulatory compliance are highly relevant aspects in our sector. We defend human rights and firmly fight against corruption and bribery.
17 PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS. At ROADIS we establish alliances and collaborations with the public and private sectors and civil society that generate synergies while creating value and a positive impact on society and the environment.

Alligned with the SBTi

The latest climate science from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) are described by the UN as “code red for humanity”. Although it shows it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, we are dangerously close to that threshold. That is why it is essential to start working rapidly in halving global emissions before 2030 and achieving net-zero before 2050.

With this horizon in sight, at ROADIS we set science-based near and long-term targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. These objectives have been approved by the SBTi according to the net-zero emissions criteria. That’s why we appear in the list of Companies Taking Action that you can consult here. 

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050. 

The initiative is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments. The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting, offers resources and guidance to reduce barriers to adoption, and independently assesses and approves companies’ targets.

Our targets

ROADIS has approved near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the SBTi. 

Near-term 

Long-term

ROADIS commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG
emissions 42.0% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.

ROADIS commits to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2040 from a 2021 base year.

Net-zero

 The SBTi has verified ROADIS’ net-zero science-based target by 2040.

Direct emissions reductions (decarbonization) will be prioritized and all residual emissions will be neutralized (if applicable) in line with SBTi criteria before reaching net-zero emissions.

Taking care of the environment

At ROADIS, we are committed to the environment and support the transition to a low-carbon economy to combat climate change. To this end, we implement measures to protect and respect the planet and promote efficient management of natural resources.

Our commitment to the prevention and mitigation of climate risks is evidenced by the achievement of prestigious international certifications that focus on continuous improvement over time.

On a daily basis, we focus on identifying and measuring possible impacts derived from our activity and establish measures to minimize and mitigate the latter, for example, initiatives to protect and restore biodiversity. In addition, through innovation, we seek increasingly sustainable solutions from a technological and operational point of view.

We also manage the impacts generated by our value chain. We have a Supplier Code of Ethics that meets strict environmental and social standards.

Business ethics and good governance

Ethics, integrity and transparency are our corporate values, which is why we always apply good governance practices and lead the fight against corruption while defending and promoting human rights.

To this end, we have a corporate governance structure, with policies and internal control mechanisms that allow us to ensure these values and the integrity of the ROADIS team and its partners in line with the legal requirements of the countries in which we operate.

In addition, to ensure that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are increasingly integrated into the business, we have created a Sustainability Committee, which is responsible for overseeing and managing these issues alongside the Board of Directors and the management team.
