Aqualia defines its supervision and control system on the basis of integrity and business ethics. It continually strengthens the model and extends it to its entire value chain – partners, suppliers and contractors – with whom it shares not only responsibility for ethical conduct but also social and environmental questions. The company also considers it essential to create a safe and diverse working space in which all the professionals that form part of Aqualia can develop their professional careers.

The organisational structure and the values that accompany it

The governance practices in Aqualia are framed in the good governance model defined by the FCC Group that emphasises integral and responsible management for each of the businesses in the company in tune with the values in its code of ethics.

General management

Aqualia’s organisational structure follows the strategic objective of being the leading company in the management of water resources globally.

During 2016, the company progressed with the restructuring of its organisational architecture in Spain to strengthen and consolidate its positioning within the country. This national management thus consists of three regions – defined according to territorial criteria – in which all the activities in the water cycle such as concessions, operations and urban and industrial maintenance, systems and technology are grouped.

The strategic growth and expansion in international markets is empowered through the International Directorate.
