Ferrovial’s activity requires strict regulatory compliance in relation to quality, environmental and energy legislation, both at regional and sector level. Therefore, the company has implemented external (i2i and WorldLex) and internal (DocSite) digital solutions to guarantee and facilitate the monitoring of applicable legislation and technical regulations (among others, those related to atmospheric, noise and light pollution).
All this contributes to achieving quality assurance, as well as efficient management focused on legislative compliance, mitigation of negative impacts and business risk control.

To this end, Ferrovial implements an annual survey program to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the quality offered and establish improvement actions.
