Commitment Metrovacesa

Committed to people and the planet

At Metrovacesa, we understand sustainability as a strategic commitment to caring for the environment, to social development, and to boosting the economy at every stage of our value chain.

As a modern and innovative property development company, our commitment to sustainable development goes further than simply meeting our legal obligations; our goal is to make a positive impact on society.
Thus, in early 2020, we launched the 2020-2022 Sustainability Plan at the beginning of 2020 aimed at enhancing sustainability performance at Metrovacesa, by integrating environmental, social, and good governance criteria into the Company's business model.

In 2022, we have updated our overall Sustainability Strategy (ESG24), building on the significant progress achieved in the current sustainability plan. This new approach defines an ambitious common framework for action, aligned with our activity and focusing our objective on the development of a responsible and sustainable business model, in order to position the company at the forefront of the real estate development sector in terms of sustainability.

With these measures we seek to give the Group a competitive edge by taking on management practices based on innovation, efficiency and sustainability, while fostering trusting relationships based on equality and respect towards our stakeholders through open, flowing and transparent communication.
