Donations: as part of its CSR and HR policies, Aqualia works all year round with the Ministry of Health, Social Services and
Equality. This collaboration takes the form of donations to entities that operate in municipalities where the company provides a
service and which work with disabled persons to enhance their quality of life.

In 2015, the company donated 10,000 euros to the Association of Cerebral Palsy and Similar Disabilities of Segovia
(ASPACE) to buy different play equipment adapted for disabled children. The Association for People with Special Needs of
Ibiza and Formentera (APNEEF) also received 12,000 euros from the company to help implement their projects.

It is also worth mentioning the donation of 3,000 euros to the Asturian Association of Multiple Sclerosis (AADEM) in Oviedo.

In Jerez, Aqualia collaborated on the purchase of a special mobility vehicle for the Association of people with physical
disabilities (ADIFI).

Furthermore, as part of Aqualia's general policy of supporting small projects with a social and/or educational spirit, Caltaqua
delivered customised sports equipment to a group of young disabled sports enthusiasts, from the ages of 4 to 16 years, who
practice swimming as a form of therapy.

SmVaK, Aqualia's subsidiary that operates in the Czech Republic and Poland, co-financed a vehicle designed especially to be
used by children and adults with mental and/or physical disabilities, which was donated to the social services in the province
of Karviná (SociálníslužbyKarviná).

Aqualia is strongly committed to the municipalities where it operates in order to provide both technical and social
solutions.

Respect for diversity

Reflection forum on indigenous towns and Spanish companies:
a forum was held on February 2015 in order to present best practices
for companies that implement projects in indigenous areas of Latin
America. Aqualia was the only representative from the water sector.
Two tools were presented in the forum: firstly, the Interactive Case
Study Map for prior consultations, and secondly, the Observatory
of Actions of Spanish Organisations in the Indigenous World. Both
tools will provide information on the experiences of organisations
that have complied with the international and local legal framework
of protecting and promoting the rights of indigenous towns.
