Fernando Gutiérrez del Arroyo, Director of ESG Internal Control at Banco Sabadell and analyst at EsadeEcPol, during his presentation at the Taxonomy conference. FCC holds a conference on Taxonomy of sustainable activities FCC has held its first conference on the European Union’s Environmental Taxonomy, where it examined the current situation, implications, future development and potential impact of this regulation that defines and orders which investments and economic activities are sustainable in the context of the European Green Pact, thus favoring the transition towards a greener economy in relation to climate change mitigation, the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, the transition to a circular economy, the prevention and control of pollution and the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. The meeting, opened by Jesús González, director of management control and taxonomy of the FCC Group, included the participation of Fernando Gutiérrez del Arroyo, director of ESG Internal Control at Banco Sabadell and analyst at EsadeEcPol, who addressed the adoption of green taxonomy by companies as a strategic imperative. During his presentation, Gutiérrez del Arroyo stressed that the Taxonomy is a necessary and decisive classification system to combat climate change and contribute to the rest of the environmental objectives as it establishes a common language and favors market credibility and transparency. In addition, during his speech he provided information and tools to understand this framework and the importance of transition plans based on taxonomic standards to evolve towards a more sustainable economy. Taxonomy, as an indicator of the degree of environmental performance of companies, will be the benchmark for obtaining quality financing on advantageous terms, both for aligned activities and for those that become aligned thanks to transition plans.
