Sacyr Vallehermoso Foundation Given the increasing volume of initiatives developed for the benefit of the community in recent years, the Board of Directors of Sacyr in December 20 took decision to establish a corporate foundation, which would allow the Group to maximize results of social action in benefit of its recipients, and contribute more effectively to the welfare and environment in the Group operates. Sacyr Vallehermoso Foundation was registered in the Spanish Registry of Foundations on 22 September In accordance with its by-laws the aims of the foundation are the following: 1. To promote and spread arts and culture in general, to foster artistic and cultural skills, and to bring culture closer to society. 2. To promote human rights, encourage respect for all people and foster cooperation for the development of disadvantaged groups and regions. 3. To promote healthcare, voluntary help, social action and assistance for people who are in risk of social exclusion. 4. To promote the protection of the environment as well as environmental awareness, education and research. 5. To promote all fields of education and training for professional development and the promotion of learning, scientific research and technological development in all fields, but especially, without limitation, in the fields of construction and engineering. 6. To promote and support sports, as it is essential for the balanced development of individuals and serves to foster positive competitive spirit and educates individuals to respect norms and opponents. 7. To promote the protection of heritage and arts. 8. To raise awareness of and provide institutional support for civil education, to promote constitutional values and to strengthen the rule of law and democracy. 9. To promote assistance for victims of terrorism and gender violence. In the framework of the constitution of the Sacyr Vallehermoso Foundation, and to ensure adequate social action by the Group, we have prepared an internal procedure and methodology governing the reception, selection, financing and tracking of social project. Some of the main novelties introduced are: The Board of Trustees assumes maximum responsibility regarding the approval and supervision of social projects. It is noteworthy in this regard that the members of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation are the same as the Board of Directors of Sacyr Vallehermoso, which, in practice, are the highest governance body of the company who take effective control of the social action of Group, which amply demonstrates the implication of the Group in the active management of this matter. Objective criteria have been established as reference for project selection: - Alignment of the project with the purpose of Fundación Sacyr Vallehermoso contained in its bylaws. - Social profitability Assessment of the degree of urgency of aid and the number of potential beneficiaries. - Regional balance: Prioritising projects in the area of influence of the group and avoid distortions in geographical distribution of aid. - Budgetary balance: To avoid excessive concentration of aid in one of the Foundation s aims. - Technical and financial soundness of the collaborating agency or beneficiary. - Budget fitness
