We want to be part of the transition to a more sustainable business world and leverage the business opportunities created by our work in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas.
SUSTAINABILITY IN 2022
In 2022, we finished implementing the 2020-2022 Master Sustainability Plan, in which we established our strategic framework and roadmap for sustainability management, focused on addressing the main challenges associated with our activity and the global trends in the sector.
The actions are classified into five strategic vectors, which in turn contain different strategic lines that are essential to achieving the integration of sustainability at every level of the organisation.
Under this premise, we completed the new 2023-2025 Master Sustainability Plan to give continuity to our strategy and which will help us achieve the goals set for 2030.

The Sustainability Policy applies to all ROADIS employees and directors, and to the intermediate holding companies and vehicle corporations fully owned by ROADIS.
The Sustainability Policy applies to all ROADIS employees and directors, and to the intermediate holding companies and vehicle corporations fully owned by ROADIS.
It ensures that all activities are carried out in accordance with national and international regulations and standards, while encouraging long-term value creation for the communities in which we operate.
Due to the cross-cutting nature of sustainability, we are confident that our teams will play an active role in adopting practices and procedures that contribute to the increasingly sustainable management of the company.
This Sustainability Policy is based on the following guiding principles:
Sustainable development
Search for an adecuate balance between local economic development, social action, protection, progress and respect for the communities where we operate.
Governance
Respect for Human Rights
ROADIS respects and contributes to the protection of the internationally recognized fundamental human rights, making sure that it is not complicit to any type of abuse or violation of such rights.
Integration
Innovation
Our commitment to sustainability is based on the concept of sustainable development, since we believe that we must carry out our activity in a way that is responsible with the communities in which we operate, and we have set a number of objectives in our Sustainability Master Plan to demonstrate our compliance with that commitment.
As a guarantee, in 2022 we endorsed the United Nations Global Compact, a global initiative to spearhead sustainability in companies based on ten universal principles related to human rights, labour legislation, the environment and the fight against corruption. By incorporating these principles into our strategy, we not only fulfil our commitment to communities, but also lay the foundations for long-term success.
Similarly, in order for our initiatives to contribute to the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda, we have not only aligned our Sustainability Master Plan with the SDGs, but we have also taken them into account both when designing the Sustainability Policy and for the materiality analysis, thus contributing primarily to 9 of the 17 goals: 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17.
ROADIS is concerned about the health and well-being of its employees, communities and users. We therefore have a solid health and safety policy and carry out road safety campaigns and other awareness building actions aimed at users and the community.
We are committed with our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, because we firmly believe in equal opportunities and that diverse teams bring richness to projects and improve the work environment.
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 between people.
Our contribution to SDG 9 is through the development and management of new infrastructures and projects in green and industrial regions. We are also firmly committed to innovation and want to embed ir in the company´s DNA.
Our business facilitates connectivity and mobility of people, services
and goods. We commit to the sustainable development of cities and the communities in which we operate
We contribute to the transformation of the current model of consumption and production by developing circular economy practices, focusing on efficient waste management and the sustainable use of natural resources.
Road networks impact climate change as a result of the emissions generated by their use and are affected by extreme climate events and rising temperatures. We are working on mitigating the effects of climate change.
Transparency, ethics, governance and legislative compliance are the hallmarks of our sector. We defend human rights and fight against bribery and corruption.
ROADIS builds alliances and collaboration with the public and private sector and with civil society, generating synergies while bringing value and having a positive impact on society and the environment.
At ROADIS we firmly believe in the cultural richness that diversity brings to the company.
We firmly believe that diversity provides cultural wealth and guarantees the presence of multiple perspectives, which makes company management more agile and productive, and enhance competitiveness. Multicultural teams are more innovative and have an easier time dealing with challenges.
Because of this, we support the integration of diverse employees as an enriching component that makes us grow every day. Year after year, we see how the results reflect our effort and commitment to these principles.
Percentage of Women at ROADIS
Our objective is to achieve equality between men and women, and effort in wich we are seeing continuous improvement
Our Environmental Policy aims to establish a general reference framework for the integration of environmental protection and conservation objectives into our strategy, while articulating the principles that rule environmental and natural capital management.
Aware of the role played by infrastructures and our responsibility and commitment to the transition to a carbon neutral economy, in 2022 we have designed a Decarbonization Plan, whose emission reduction targets will be validated by the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative, which will enable us to achieve zero net carbon emissions by 2040.
Ensuring the safety of our road users is our main goal. In 2022, we engaged in numerous activities to achieve this goal, including the implementation of improvement and corrective measures on our highways, road safety campaigns and support to communities located in the vicinity through training activities.

Thanks to our continuing Road Safety Programme, we have improved the data collection and analysis systems, and we have conducted internal audits and road safety studies to assess and identify those sections with a high accident rate and to prepare action plans.
We also launched a new edition of our "Your safety, our priority" campaign, which began in 2019 and is being coordinated internationally to shine a light on the most important problems:
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Speeding
Periodic vehicle inspections (with a special focus on the condition of the tyres and lights)
Use of the mobile phone while driving.
We also partnered with national regulators in the countries where we operate to increase awareness of road safety, most notably through two initiatives in 2022:
- The celebration of the 33rd National Road Traffic Safety Month, promoted by the Government of India (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways)
- We support and participate in the "Safe Roads" campaign promoted by the Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport of the Government of Mexico.
Thanks to these initiatives, in 2022 we were able to reduce the traffic accident rate by 12% (total number of traffic accidents per 10 8/veh-km).

CR & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
In 2022, we continued to make progress in developing our corporate responsibility strategy.
We are deeply committed to the development of the communities and countries where we operate. We want to add value to the communities where we operate beyond investing in infrastructure or supporting public services, generating a positive social and environmental impact.
Our Community Development Guidelines lay out the areas of priority for all our corporate responsibility initiatives, which help to promote mobility and sustainable development, socio-economic well-being and the protection of natural resources, in keeping with the SDGs.
