was awarded second prize in the “Best Practice for Risk Management” category in the 3rd Edition of
the Asepeyo awards for Best Preventive Practices. It was also awarded by the Valencian Institute

The mutual insurance company Asepeyo, together with the Directorate General of Health and Safety
at Work, awarded a diploma certificate for zero accidents to Codeisa, the consortium responsible for
desalination in Ibiza made up of Aqualia and Acciona. This certificate honours its exemplary business
track record after two years without any work-related accidents with leave or occupational diseases.

The success of this zero rate is based on good management and the collective effort made by employees,
both through the implementation of preventive measures, policies and practices, as well as training
and research on accidents.
