SBM – 3: MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

At Ferrovial, the workforce is at the heart of its operations, strategy, and business model. Each employee plays a key role in the Company’s mission to deliver sustainable infrastructure solutions worldwide. Recognizing the complexity and challenges of its operating environments, Ferrovial has developed a clear understanding of the potential and actual impacts on its workforce, using this knowledge to adapt its strategy and shape its future.

The Company’s operations carry inherent risks, particularly in sectors such as construction and infrastructure management. Health and safety is a top priority, given the potential for work-related accidents or injuries. These risks are carefully managed through robust safety protocols and ongoing training. While negative incidents such as individual accidents are not systemic within Ferrovial’s operations, the Company treats each occurrence with the utmost seriousness, implementing measures to prevent recurrence and minimize potential reputational, operational, and financial risks. To address these risks, Ferrovial has integrated rigorous safety standards and monitoring systems into all projects, ensuring compliance and care for its workforce.

But it is not just about mitigating risks; it is also about seizing opportunities. Ferrovial sees its people as a source of strength and innovation. Programs focused on professional development, such as leadership development programs, enable employees to grow alongside the Company. This approach increases job satisfaction and productivity, while fostering loyalty and reducing turnover and improving working conditions which reflects Ferrovial’s commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive environment. Likewise, the Company’s emphasis on equality ensures that all employees feel valued, with mechanisms in place to address any concerns and safeguard their rights.

As Ferrovial embarks on its journey to sustainability, its workforce stands at the forefront of this transformation. The Company’s energy transition strategies, present new opportunities for job creation, upskilling, and professional growth. Employees are empowered to adapt to new roles, particularly in energy transition projects and technological innovations, ensuring that they remain integral to Ferrovial’s evolving mission.

Throughout this journey, Ferrovial leaves no room for practices that violate fundamental rights. Its operations are free from the risk of forced or child labor, backed by a comprehensive due diligence process that ensures compliance in all regions. This diligence reflects the Company’s unwavering commitment to ethical practices and the well-being of its workforce.

Ferrovial understands that certain groups within its workforce face unique risks and opportunities. Younger employees benefit from structured development programs, while workers in high-risk environments receive enhanced safety measures tailored to their needs. Employees engaged in cutting-edge projects, such as digital infrastructure, are offered opportunities to improve their skills and contribute to transformative initiatives.

In every decision, Ferrovial ensures that its workforce remains central to its strategy. By aligning employee well-being with its broader goals, the Company not only navigates risks but also unlocks opportunities for growth, innovation, and sustainability. This holistic approach reinforces Ferrovial’s commitment to its employees and paves the way for a resilient and inclusive future.

S1 – 2: PROCESSES FOR ENGAGING WITH OWN WORKERS AND WORKERS’ REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT IMPACTS

Ferrovial’s workforce is at the heart of its operations and success. In recognition of this, the Company has developed a comprehensive approach to human rights, inclusion, and employee engagement that integrates respect for international standards, structured worker participation mechanisms, and specific measures addressing vulnerable groups. This holistic framework ensures that the well-being, rights, and effective participation of employees are prioritized in all aspects of its operations.

A key pillar of this approach is the systematic inclusion of workers’ perspectives in decision-making related to managing actual and potential impacts on workers. Ferrovial has activated mechanisms to actively engage employees and their representatives, ensuring that their views meaningfully contribute to shaping policies and addressing challenges. Through structured initiatives such as climate surveys, risk assessments, and performance evaluations, employees can provide valuable feedback, which is subsequently discussed with managers to propose improvements. The Company’s individual and collective representative bodies, including staff representatives, union sections and committees, as well as the Social Dialogue and Negotiation Committee with the legal representatives of the workers, ensure ongoing dialogue between the Company and its employees and the defense of their fair and legitimate rights and interests.

At the same time, Ferrovial’s institutional participation through the Negotiating Committees for Collective Agreements applicable to its employees in the different sectors and activities in which it operates not only ensures strict compliance with workers’ rights, but also transparency and alignment with all labor issues and matters that affect them. By way of example, Ferrovial signed a commitment to the International Federation/Alliance of the most representative trade unions in the sector (Framework Agreement). The Framework Agreement acknowledges the decisive role of the trade unions involved in the infrastructure sector in which Ferrovial operates globally and ensures compliance with the applicable regulations and legislation in the countries where it operates. These legal frameworks guarantee workers’ participation in company policies through collective bargaining.

At the same time, compliance mechanisms, such as the Ethics Channel, ensure that employees have access to a confidential and anonymous platform to raise concerns, with explicit protections against retaliation, thereby reinforcing confidence in the process. The main mechanisms established are as follows:

 

Description Responsible party
Opinion and climate surveys Objective: To gather information on employee job satisfaction, corporate culture, and belonging and inclusion.

Coordinated by the Culture and Engagement function, Ferrovial conducts annual employee satisfaction surveys among its professionals, which include 32 indicators related to satisfaction, loyalty, happiness, culture, belonging, and inclusion, along with two open-ended questions that allow employees to make suggestions on an anonymous basis. Once this information has been collected, specific action plans are defined for each business unit.

Social dialogue at Ferrovial is ongoing, covering both regularly scheduled commitments and ad hoc commitments required by labor regulations, as well as those initiated by the Company or employee representatives whenever necessary. Ferrovial conducts annual workforce satisfaction surveys that include aspects such as sense of belonging, professional development, compensation, reputation, work experience, culture and inclusion. Ferrovial continues to strengthen the role of managers as key actors responsible for the work environment and team engagement, providing them with tools to analyze and improve them. The latest survey, conducted in December 2025, achieved a participation rate of 78.17% and an overall satisfaction score of 7.9 out of 10.

Human Resources
Risk assessments and results Objective: To include feedback meetings with managers to address individual and collective concerns. Human Resources
Legal representation of workers (RLT) Objective: to channel individual and collective requests through staff representatives, Works Councils, and Trade Union Sections.

The social dialogue process is conducted at various levels of collective bargaining:

At the sectoral level (construction, industry, and water sectors), through participation in negotiating tables and joint committees at both the national and regional levels, as Ferrovial is recognized as one of the most representative companies in its fields of activity.

At the Company level, through ongoing dialogue with trade union branches and formal negotiation processes with the various collective and individual representative bodies, including works councils and staff representatives.

Although collective bargaining represents the formal basis of this dialogue, these mechanisms also serve as day-to-day communication channels to address employee concerns and ensure employee involvement in all labor policies that affect them.

Human Resources
Ethics Channel The process is managed by the Compliance function, with the support of Internal Audit in the analysis of certain priority communications, to ensure the timely and effective resolution of reports to the Ethics Channel. The Chief Compliance Officer reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit and Control Committee and annually to the Board of Directors. Compliance and Human Resources

Effectiveness assessment. The effectiveness of collaboration is measured through:

  • Annual employee satisfaction surveys: These cover topics such as sense of belonging, professional development, compensation, reputation, work experience, culture, and inclusion. Ferrovial continues to strengthen the role of managers as those responsible for the work environment and team engagement, providing them with tools to analyze and improve these aspects.
  • Feedback processes: Performance evaluations and assessment of the impact on work dynamics.
  • Dialogue with workers’ legal representatives: Regular meetings to address specific problems and propose corrective measures.

Regarding specific measures to promote gender equality in Spain, Ferrovial has implemented more than 60 equality measures, which fall within the following areas of action:

  1. Equality Responsible
  2. Recruitment and hiring
  3. Training
  4. Career development and promotion
  5. Working conditions
  6. Remuneration policy
  7. Occupational health and wellbeing
  8. Shared responsability and work-life balance
  9. Female underrepresentation
  10. Prevention of workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and harrassment on grounds of sex
  11. Protection for victims of gender-based violence
  12. Communication

Compliance with the measures is monitored through audits conducted by the Equality Committee and through the results of employee opinion surveys, which include specific questions on belonging and inclusion.

Furthermore, Ferrovial does not apply a specific classification of vulnerable workers, as the Company ensures that everyone’s needs are heard and addressed through established listening and engagement mechanisms. These procedures allow all employees to share their perspectives, which are then taken into account. These listening mechanisms are strictly confidential; therefore, no identification or segregation of individuals as vulnerable is carried out.

S1 – 3: PROCESSES TO REMEDIATE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS FOR OWN WORKERS TO RAISE CONCERNS

Employees can communicate their concerns to the HR Department, their line manager, the Compliance Department or to the Ethics Channel.

The Company provides its employees and other stakeholders with an Ethics Channel, a confidential system that allows, if the reporter so wishes, reporting on an anonymous basis in accordance with applicable legislation, to facilitate the communication of any possible irregularities, breaches, or behavior contrary to law or Ferrovial’s ethical policies and procedures, including in particular possible cases of fraud or corruption, anti competitive practices, human rights violations, financial and tax matters, or damage to the environment, always safeguarding their identity and with zero tolerance for any possible retaliation. Matters related to Ferrovial SE’s accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, or questionable financial practices may also be reported, as well as any alleged misconduct by members of the Board of Directors, all of which are considered “Priority Communications” under the Ethics Channel policy. Priority communications are handled by the Compliance Department and in some cases by Internal Audit Department. Accounting Complaints, however, are handled by the Audit and Control Committee together with the Compliance Department. Those communications involving actual or alleged misconduct by the Board will be handled by the Chair of the Audit and Control Committee.

All communications are handled objectively and diligently in accordance with the Ethics Channel Policy. Throughout the process, the right of those involved are respected, particularly the presumption of innocence. Likewise, Ferrovial has zero tolerance policy towards retaliation against any person who reports to the Ethics Channel in good faith or takes part in the investigation thereof.

Communications are screened by the Compliance Department and handled by the Management Body that best suited to the circumstances, taking into account , independence, and absence of conflicts of interest among those responsible for the investigation. To assist the teams that may be involved in this task in their respective areas of expertise, the Compliance Department has developed an Investigations Guide. In addition, training sessions have been held for the Compliance Network to ensure the diligent handling of all communications and respect for the individuals involved.

The Compliance Department periodically reviews communications that have already been closed to prevent possible cases of retaliation.

The Chief Compliance Officer reports on a quarterly basis to the Audit and Control Committee and annually to the Board of Directors regarding the communications received and the measures adopted in relation to them.

The Ethics Channel can be accessed by telephone, intranet, or the corporate website (https://Ferrovial.com). In addition, specific reporting channels have been established in some Group companies for reasons of legal necessity.

Further information on communications received is available through the Ethics Channel (See ESRS G1-1, section “Ethics Channel”, for further details).

The communication management process and the possibility of communicating with the reporter will be described in more detail in the Secure correspondence section.

Once received, communications are handled and processed securely to protect the confidentiality of (i) the identity of the reporting person(s) and any third party mentioned, and (ii) the actions taken during the handling and processing of the communication. They are also managed in a way that safeguards personal data and prevents unauthorized access. Investigations are conducted objectively, fairly, and diligently, in line with internal procedures and applicable laws.

The reporting person and the Management Body may contact each other through the Ethics Channel (secure correspondence section), which allows confidential communication to be maintained, even where the report is anonymous, in order to request additional information or clarification on the information reported and to ensure that the reporting person is kept informed of the progress of the case and the measures adopted. This communication operates bidirectionally, so the reporting person or the Management Body can contact each other if necessary. Finally, the reporting person is informed of the closure and outcome of the case.

Awareness of and trust in the Ethics Channel are assessed through satisfaction surveys conducted at the end of mandatory training courses. The latest survey was launched in 2025 with the refresher training course on the Code of Ethics, and the results showed that 95.5% are aware of the existence of the Ethics Channel, 98,1% know that concerns or irregularities can also be reported to their manager or to HR Department , and 97.05% are aware that Ferrovial has a zero-tolerance policy against any form of retaliation against individuals who submit a communication in good faith.

The corrective measures adopted are mainly disciplinary actions (including dismissal), training programs, or changes to internal processes or procedures, all in accordance with applicable internal procedures, collective bargaining agreements, and applicable legislation. The regulatory framework applicable in the different jurisdictions in which Ferrovial operates is also taken into account.

Once corrective measures have been implemented, the management bodies responsible for handling communications are required to monitor the application of the different measures, as well as to monitor the individuals concerned to confirm that no retaliation occurs.

The Ethics Channel is managed by the Compliance Department through a third-party IT tool for submission and management of all communications. Those responsible for managing communications will have access to the IT tool, as appropriate, which also serves as a repository for all communications received.

In addition, there is a suggestion box available on the Company’s intranet, managed by HR, so that employees can send their suggestions and requests directly to the HR Department.

All communications are handled objectively and with due diligence in accordance with the Ethics Channel Policy and the policy for the management of inquiries, complaints, and reports. Investigations are conducted objectively, fairly, thoroughly, and with due diligence, as well as with the utmost care and consideration, pursuant to internal procedures and applicable laws. The independence and absence of conflicts of interest in the process is ensured to the fullest extent possible. Throughout the process, the rights of those involved are respected to the greatest extent possible, including the presumption of innocence and the honor of the person concerned. Likewise, the absence of retaliation is guaranteed to all reporters acting in good faith and to those participating in the investigation of communications.

It should also be noted that Ferrovial has a Global Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy and a Harassment Prevention protocol in place to ensure dignified and respectful treatment throughout the organization and a work environment free from harassment, discrimination, and intimidation. The policy also establishes a protocol for handling potential complaints. To promote awareness of this protocol, a mandatory training course has been tailored for managers and recruitment teams, with the objective of mitigating legal risks and avoiding the possibility of reverse discrimination in decision-making and promotion processes. To this end, Ferrovial provides an online training program with more than 130 resources available, including content on unconscious bias, inclusive leadership, and other relevant aspects of inclusion.

S1-4: TAKING ACTION ON MATERIAL IMPACTS ON OWN WORKFORCE, AND APPROACHES TO MITIGATING MATERIAL RISKS AND PURSUING MATERIAL OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO OWN WORKFORCE, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE ACTIONS.

Working conditions

  • Ferrovial’s commitment to human rights further strengthens this framework by aligning its policies and practices with international standards such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. These commitments are reflected in policies that promote non discrimination, fair wages, freedom of association, and safe working conditions. Collaboration with employees remains essential, as the Company leverages established communication channels and collective bargaining agreements to ensure that workers’ voices are heard and appropriately addressed. When rights violations occur, Ferrovial ensures timely and effective remediation through internal mechanisms, such as the Ethics Channel and coordinated investigations, with the objective of preventing recurrence and ensuring access to remedy. Ferrovial also extends its commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion through specific measures targeting vulnerable and marginalized groups. The Equality Plan, which applies exclusively in Spain, encompasses more than 80 initiatives, including professional development programs and actions to ensure equal pay for equal work. The Plan focuses on underrepresented groups, such as women, while addressing unconscious bias through specialized training for managers and hiring decision-makers. Partnerships with organizations that support people with disabilities further reinforce Ferrovial’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
  • Ferrovial guarantees full compliance with the labor regulations applicable to its employees. Its entire workforce is covered and protected not only by the labor legislation in force in each sector and activity in which it operates in different geographical areas, but also by the collective bargaining agreements, codes, and collective agreements applicable to them, which are the result of collective bargaining processes with the legal representatives of the workers. As mentioned above, all these rights and obligations for the Company are adapted and implemented in accordance with the requirements of the regulations in the different geographical areas in which Ferrovial operates.
  • Particular attention is given to all those policies aimed at ensuring a work-life balance, with special reference to the objectives and measures set out in the Ferrovial Group’s single Equality Plan in Spain, whose focus on work-life balance and shared responsibility improves many of the rights and leave entitlements established for this purpose.
  • Similarly, the Digital Disconnection Policy, which also aims to promote a healthy work-life balance and applies to all employees in Spain, reinforces this commitment by ensuring a healthy working environment that respects the personal and family needs of employees.
  • Also noteworthy is Ferrovial’s Flexibility and Work-Life Balance Policy, which applies to all employees in Spain and includes a series of enhancements to the leave and time-off arrangements, namely, the extension of leave periods for the care of children or dependent family members, improvements to family care leave, marriage leave, flexible working hours, the purchase of vacation time, and even the possibility of taking a sabbatical. In addition, exceptional recoverable leave arrangements and specific accommodations are available for employees with disabilities or employees with dependent family members with disabilities. The Human Resources Department manages these measures, ensuring that each request is tailored to the individual needs of each employee.
  • Impacts on employees are taken into account when the company decides to terminate business relationships.

Social dialogue

  • Ferrovial promotes an inclusive and structured social dialogue framework in which employees can not only participate in the Company’s objectives but also ensure that their interests, concerns, and aspirations are communicated to management through their supervisors. This dialogue is achieved primarily through the legal representatives of employees and takes the form of participation in trade union sections, works councils, negotiating committees, national social dialogue committees, and committees that monitor the different policies implemented by the Company, where key aspects related to the rights and obligations of the parties, working conditions, and the safety and well-being of employees are discussed and agreed upon. Ferrovial therefore facilitates ongoing communication between the management and its employees through employee representatives, ensuring that employees’ concerns and proposals are heard and considered.
  • All the social partners with whom Ferrovial interacts are legally legitimized. These partners have been elected and appointed through electoral processes carried out by the workers they represent or hold positions within the most representative trade union federations in the sectors and activities in which the Company operates. This structure ensures that workers’ voices are adequately represented and that their interests are effectively defended in negotiations and social dialogues at both the local and global levels. In this way, the Company anticipates the labor-related challenges currently demanded by its workforce, enabling it to plan improvement actions that solve any potential conflicts identified.
  • In the Construction business in Spain, 100% of the workforce is represented by trade unions, as where there is no Works Council or staff representatives, these employees fall within the scope of representation of the Trade Union Sections with which a State Negotiating Committee has been set up. At the international level, without prejudice to the forms of representation applicable in each territory, Ferrovial has entered an international/global framework agreement with the most representative trade union federations in the sector and the BWI (Building and Wood Workers’ International), which encompasses more than 350 trade unions. Its primary objective is to promote trade unions in the construction, wood and related industries, thereby guaranteeing workers’ rights.
  • The sectors and activities in which Ferrovial operates in Spain have their respective Sectoral Bargaining Collective Agreements, which serve as minimum standards and apply to all workers simply by virtue of their providing services and performing duties within those activities, without prejudice to any collective agreements that may exist in each workplace or individual agreements entered into between each worker and the Company.

Health & Safety 

To mitigate the negative impacts on its workforce resulting from the transition to a greener and more climate-neutral economy, Ferrovial has adopted training and re-skilling programs that ensure employees acquire the necessary skills in a constantly evolving work environment. In 2025, a total of 293,432 hours of occupational health and safety training were provided. The Company offers support measures, such as career counseling, coaching, internal relocation, and early retirement plans, in situations of restructuring or downsizing. In recognition of the challenges posed by the transition to a climate-neutral economy, Ferrovial has adopted a number of mitigation measures to protect its workforce. In addition to training and retraining programs, Ferrovial offers job guarantees and individualized support in situations of change, ensuring the adaptation and resilience of its teams within a context of transformation.

Health, safety, and well-being (HSW) are fundamental values for Ferrovial and are monitored by the Board of Directors at each of the meetings held throughout the year. The Health and Safety Policy, approved by the Board of Directors, establishes the principles and values that guide the behavior of employees and subcontractors. This policy is implemented through the Health, Safety and Well-Being (HSW) Strategy, approved in December 2019 and extended until 2026. The strategy sets out the path to achieving the relevant objectives, focusing on operational excellence to improve Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention (SIF).

The following actions are highlighted in each of the four pillars of well-being:

  • Physical well-being:
    • Global platform/app: In 2025, United Heroes has increased 2,560 employees.
    • Health agreements: Partnerships with health centers, gyms, online platforms, and physical therapy.
    • Sports events: Soccer, paddle tennis, company Olympics, and mountain outings.
    • Workshops: Online and in-person guides and workshops on prevention and awareness.
    • Participation in charity races.
    • Group-based activities: Weekly yoga, Pilates, boxing, full-body training, and indoor cycling sessions.
    • Nutrition: Personalized advice from nutritionists and in-person workshops on healthy eating.
    • In-person and online workshops: regarding menopause, breast cancer prevention, cardiovascular health campaigns, among others.
  • Mental and emotional well-being:
    • Psychological support programs for employees and family members.
    • Targeted workshops on emotional management and personal growth (topics include resilience, self-leadership, mental health, eating disorders, etc.).
    • Mindfulness-based practices.
  • Social well-being:
    • Team-building activities.
    • Healthy breakfasts initiatives.
    • Promotion of family activities: hiking, Nordic walking, etc.
    • Volunteering initiatives and community engagement.
    • Application of positive psychology principles and creation of healthy ecosystems in the workplace.
  • Financial well-being:
    • Promotion of Ferrovial’s financial support programs among employees.
    • Flexible compensation schemes.
    • Targeted in-person and online training in finance.
    • Guides aimed at improving personal financial management.

These initiatives reinforce Ferrovial’s position as a leading employer in its key markets and drive positive changes both within the organization and across society.

2025 has been a great year for wellbeing not only because the Company has significantly increased participation and adherence, but also because its strategy is more consolidated and is part of the way Ferrovial plans and organizes its projects. 95% of its people respondents feels that wellbeing is improving their motivation, performance and productivity, and the same percentage says that they feel their psychological health is much better thanks to the tools and actions that the HASAVI strategy has developed throughout the year.

Training and skills development

Ferrovial’s talent strategy aims to position the Company as a leading employer in its key markets, promoting the professional growth, health, and well-being of its employees and fostering diverse teams capable of driving positive change both within the organization and across society.

  • At the end of the year, Ferrovial professionals have received more than 299,881 hours of training (both online and face-to-face) and a total of 293,432 hours of training in health and safety, which makes a total of 593,314 hours of training in 2025.
  • To mitigate the negative impacts on its workforce resulting from the transition to a greener and more climate-neutral economy, Ferrovial has adopted training and retention programs that ensure employees acquire the necessary skills in a constantly evolving work environment. In addition to these programs, Ferrovial offers job guarantees and individualized support measures in situations of change, ensuring the adaptation and resilience of its teams during periods of transformation.

To take full advantage of all the opportunities identified, Ferrovial implemented the following actions:

  • Increasing productivity and job satisfaction: The Company promotes a culture based on prevention and responsibility principles, by improving working conditions, reducing workplace accidents and occupational illnesses, and decreasing absenteeism. These actions support higher levels of employee satisfaction and retention.
  • Attracting and retaining talent: By focusing on high value-added technology projects, Ferrovial enables employees to develop in innovative and professionally attractive areas, thereby reducing staff turnover and boosting motivation and commitment.
  • Training and professional development: Training programs ensure that employees acquire the necessary skills in a constantly evolving work environment.
  • Sense of belonging and inclusion: Ferrovial promotes inclusive teams to foster creativity and innovation, contributing to the success of projects and enhancing global competitiveness.

S1 – 5: TARGETS RELATED TO MANAGING MATERIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS, ADVANCING POSITIVE IMPACTS, AND MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Although no specific quantitative targets have been set, Ferrovial manages IROs through the following objectives:

Working conditions

  • Ferrovial guarantees the rights of its employees in Spain through its Work-Life Balance Policy and applicable collective bargaining agreements. This policy is designed to promote a healthy balance between work and personal life.
  • The Flexibility and Work-Life Balance Policy, applicable to all employees in Spain, reinforces this commitment by ensuring a healthy working environment that respects the personal and family needs of employees. However, these rights may vary across other jurisdictions where Ferrovial operates, depending on local regulations and applicable policies.
  • Ferrovial’s Flexibility and Work-Life Balance Policy, which applies to all employees in Spain, includes a series of leave options and improvements, such as extended maternity and adoption leave, the possibility of taking a sabbatical, the purchase of additional vacation days, and flexible working hours. In addition, there are specific measures for caring for family members, exceptional recoverable leave, and accommodations for employees with disabilities or disabled family members. The Human Resources Department manages these measures, ensuring that each request is assessed on an individual basis and complies with current labor regulations.

Social dialogue

  • Ferrovial ensures that its workforce and their representatives are involved in setting targets related to the management of material impacts, both negative and positive, as well as material risks and opportunities. This involvement is reflected in records such as the minutes of the National Negotiating Committee, Works Councils, and business associations where Ferrovial actively participates as a member of negotiating committees with the unions. These forums provide a platform for dialogue and collaboration that allows representatives to contribute directly to the establishment of impact objectives aligned with the Company’s priorities and challenges.
  • Each year, the Company shares detailed information with employee representatives on the level of compliance with the established objectives, which are entered into the Workday tool and displayed in the employees’ profiles, accessible at any time of the year for monitoring purposes. As proof of this, the Company can cite the minutes of the Committee for Monitoring Variable Compensation by Objectives, which highlight the structured approach to keeping representatives informed and committed to evaluating progress and the adequacy of results in relation to the organization’s objectives. This commitment is formalized through agreements signed with trade union sections across the organization worldwide.

Training and skills development

  • The Training Department operates on three levels (Global > Business Unit > Local/Geography) to provide training to Ferrovial employees, with the aim of addressing the training needs identified in their individual development plans, developing targeted skills identified in the talent review, and providing relevant training content and pathways that enable employees to actively train in the skills that will be most in demand in the coming years. Ferrovial provides in-person, synchronous (virtual), and asynchronous (eLearning) training formats to meet the needs of its employees: the training strategy based on the “digital first” principle ensures that Ferrovial remains at the forefront of what the work environment demands of the Company’s employees, with the online campus providing fast, agile, and flexible access to more than 20,000 continuously updated training resources.
  • The Company has also set internal targets for the training and qualification of its employees, focusing on several key aspects: developing talent, fostering innovation, improving competitiveness, and adapting to change.
    As part of the annual goal-setting process, employees propose their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in collaboration with their line managers, who validate them. At year-end, the relevant line manager reviews the level of achievement of these KPIs/targets, which has a direct impact on the variable remuneration received by the employee.
    During the annual Talent Review process, the line manager evaluates the employee’s competencies, strengths, and areas for improvement. The employee also completes the corresponding self-assessment. The results of this process are reflected in the Individual Development Plan (IDP), which identifies jointly agreed development actions (including training, follow-up activities, mentoring, new projects, temporary assignments, internal mobility, etc.). This process is carried out for office-based employees.

Belonging and inclusion

  • Ferrovial seeks to foster a workforce that embraces the characteristics that make the Company different, unique, and genuine, including both visible and invisible factors, and that integrates Ferrovial’s perspectives and experiences, capturing the richness the Company brings thanks to the diversity in its identities. Ferrovial also seeks to foster a collaborative and performance-driven work environment that recognizes and values different perspectives and experiences and creates actionable opportunities for each person to develop their full potential and contribute their best. This commitment is supported by a set of global policies, including the Global Belonging and Inclusion Policy and the Global Anti- Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy, among others, which establish clear principles, expected behaviors, and zero tolerance standards.
  • Ferrovial has set itself a clear and measurable target in line with its Belonging and Inclusion Policy: to ensure that the Leadership Team is made up of at least 30% women and 30% men by December 2025. For these purposes, “Leadership Team” means the category of employees in management positions as defined in provision 2.1.5 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code and in section 2:166 of the Dutch Civil Code, excluding United States employees. As of year-end 2025, the percentage of women in this group was 29% (calculated in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations). Ferrovial is very close to meeting its goal in this respect, while taking account of local laws and regulations. Nevertheless, a combination of market, sector, and internal dynamics explains why the goal is not fully met. First, women remain significantly underrepresented in infrastructure-related disciplines. Secondly, although female participation in early career and experienced hiring has been strong and stable at Ferrovial, progression into Leadership Team roles depends on role availability, time in role required before promotion, succession planning cycles, and willingness for geographic mobility.
  • In order to meet its goals moving forward, Ferrovial has taken several measures in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations, including (i) leadership development programs focused on executive training, mentoring, and exposure to strategic projects, (ii) partnerships with leading universities and STEM-focused programs, (iii) local actions tailored to each region and context, and (iv) over 300 other initiatives around belonging and inclusion in the past two years aimed at building a culture of belonging and inclusion. Ferrovial believes these measures support meeting its goals in this respect within a realistic timeframe.

Health and safety

  • Ferrovial has established a quantifiable and time-bound sustainability target to assess progress in improving health and safety outcomes across its operations. The Group aims to reduce the Serious Injury and Fatality Frequency Rate (SIF9 -FR) by -31.8% in 2026 compared to the 2022 baseline. This target demonstrates Ferrovial’s commitment to ensuring safe and healthy working environments and promoting the physical and mental well-being of its workforce. This target is in line with Ferrovial’s overall target of promoting a culture of safety and well being within the organization. By fostering safe working environments, the Company aims to reduce the frequency and severity of serious injuries and fatal accidents.
  • Intermediate milestones include a 10% reduction by December 31, 2023, a 19% reduction by December 31, 2024, and a 27.1% reduction by December 31, 2025. The unit of measurement is the frequency rate per million hours worked. This target applies to all direct Group operations, including employees and subcontractors at project sites and operating facilities worldwide. The 2022 Serious Injury and Fatality Frequency Rate serves as a benchmark for this target (0.69 SIF FR in 2022), ensuring a consistent measurement framework for assessing progress. The target is set for the period 2022-2026, with intermediate milestones to track progress. Ferrovial has developed a company-specific methodology to calculate a consistent global index, as there is no internationally recognized standard for health, safety, and well-being (HSW) KPIs. This approach allows the Company to establish and monitor global HSW KPIs on a consistent basis.

9 Includes controlled entities and concessions with the exception of IRB and NTO.

S1 – 6: CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UNDERTAKING’S EMPLOYEES

Ferrovial collects employee data through a structured process that ensures data accuracy and consistency10:

  • Workday extraction: For integrated countries and companies, data and evidence are obtained through specific reports. Since the go-live of Workiva (Q3 2025), Workday extraction has been automated using RPA, leaving the files extracted from Workday in SharePoint for subsequent upload to Workiva.
  • Upload and validation in Workiva: Data extracted from Workday is uploaded to Workiva. Collaborators review and validate the data in Workiva.
  • Management outside Workday: In non-integrated countries, data is collected from local systems and updated in Workiva manually by employees.
  • Key assumptions: Priority is given to the most recent and validated data, ensuring consistency between regions and compliance with reporting standards. There are no estimates used in the calculation of the total number of employees, only the total hours in the gender pay gap in the remuneration area. For more information, see ESRS 2, BP-2.

This approach ensures reliable and standardized data collection throughout the organization. Employees of Ferrovial companies and joint ventures managed by Ferrovial were included. Employees of joint ventures managed by partners were included in the reported indicators.

Employee data is classified as “Full-time” or “Part-time” and analyzed for trends. Any material variation from previous periods is reviewed in collaboration with the respective units to identify its root causes.

Both the number of employees at the end of the period and the average number of employees throughout the year are reported.

For information on total employees in the financial statements, see section 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements: Profit (LOSS) for the year; Note 2.3: Personnel expenses.

10 Ferrovial ensures the security and confidentiality of personal data in compliance with GDPR through its Personal Data Protection Policy and Code of Ethics. Personal data are processed lawfully and confidentially, and appropriate measures are in place to protect such data and ensure responsible use across the Group and relevant third parties.

The turnover rate in 2025 was 26.6% compared to the turnover rate in 2024 that was 58.7%. The difference in turnover rates and new hires is primarily explained by the divestment of two subsidiaries: Ferrovial Services Chile and Broadspectrum Chile. The total number of leaves in 2025 was 5,574 (15,541 in 2024).

S1 – 8: COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COVERAGE AND SOCIAL DIALOGUE

Ferrovial promotes an inclusive and participatory social dialogue environment in the European Economic Area (EEA), ensuring that its employees are represented at both the workplace and European levels. This commitment is reflected in the fact that 56% of its global workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employee representation is ensured by means of their participation in committees and negotiating tables, where key aspects such as working conditions, safety, and employee welfare are discussed and agreed. Ferrovial also facilitates ongoing communication between management and employee representatives at each workplace, ensuring that their concerns and suggestions are heard and addressed.

For Ferrovial, social partners are fundamental and always legitimate from a legal perspective, having been elected through electoral processes carried out by the workers they represent or belonging to trade union federations representing the sectors in which the Company operates. This structure ensures that employees’ voices are adequately represented and that their interests are effectively defended in negotiations and social dialogue processes, both at local and European level.

The Company operates in the Infrastructure/Industry sector, where the Collective Bargaining Agreement and Collective Agreements for Construction are particularly relevant, although the Metal and Water Agreements are also applicable depending on the activity carried out by the employees.

In Spain, 100% of construction workers are represented by trade unions. Even in cases where there are no Works Councils or workers’ representatives, workers are represented by Union Sections, which have set up a State Negotiating Committee. This level of representation ensures comprehensive coverage of workers and strengthens social dialogue in the country. Ferrovial is working to provide similar data on union representation in other EEA countries where it has a significant presence.

In addition, in 2025 employees represented in social dialogue processes in EEA countries (Spain and Poland) account for a total of 11,621 employees that represents 51.4% of total employees (37.8% in 2024). Furthermore, in 2025 employees represented in social dialogue processes in non-EEA countries (USA and Chile) account for a total of 509 employees that represents 2,25% of total employees (29.5% in 2024, this variation is due to the divestments in Chile).

At the European level, Ferrovial reinforces its commitment to worker representation through a Framework Agreement signed in 2012 with UGT FICA and the “Comisiones Obreras” trade unions, as well as with the International Trade Union Federation (ITUF). This agreement promotes the protection of labor rights in the construction and infrastructure sectors and guarantees a continuous democratic dialogue between the Company and workers’ representatives through collective bargaining. This framework also ensures that employee interests are aligned with international standards of labor representation and respect.

Outside the EEA, Ferrovial also maintains a high level of commitment to collective bargaining. However, more information should be provided on the percentage of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements in these regions, which will better reflect the global scope of its social dialogue initiatives.

In this way, Ferrovial reinforces its commitment to an inclusive work environment, backed by effective union representation and ongoing social dialogue that guarantees the well-being, safety, and rights of all its employees.

Ferrovial does not have a European Works Council. Each company or subsidiary that Ferrovial has in European countries has its own union representation. However, in the Construction division, the Company has signed an agreement with the International Trade Union Federation, the international union group (agreement attached) that promotes the development of unions in the Company’s sector and guarantees compliance with and safeguards workers’ rights.

S1 – 10: ADEQUATE WAGES

Ferrovial reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that all its employees receive an adequate salary, in line with the relevant standards and benchmarks in each country in which it operates. This commitment is validated annually through an analysis based on data from the Living Wage Foundation, which assesses essential factors such as food, water supply, housing, transportation, clothing, healthcare, education, and tax payments, among others. The results of this analysis confirm that 99.61% of employees in the countries where the Company is most active Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States—earn a wage above the living wage.

For the remaining 0.39%,– in Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and Tunisia –additional measures are being evaluated to further align remuneration with living wage benchmarks, reinforcing Ferrovial’s commitment to fair and competitive remuneration across all its operations.

Compliance in the European Economic Area (EEA)

In the EEA, Ferrovial ensures that remuneration complies with regulations in countries with a legal minimum wage. In cases where there is no established minimum wage, the lowest employee salary is compared with regional indicators and international standards, such as 60% of the national average wage and 50% of the average gross wage. These references comply with Directive (EU) 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages in the European Union. Ferrovial also ensures that wages are above the living wage in all countries where it has significant operations.

In Spain, for example, the minimum wage in the construction sector is regulated by the minimum wage tables in provincial collective agreements and the General Agreement for the Sector. Ferrovial guarantees that, with specific exceptions and in the case of new hires with experience, the wages paid exceed these minimum wage tables.

Compliance outside the EEA

Outside the EEA, Ferrovial complies with local minimum wage legislation in all countries where it operates, ensuring that no employee receives less than the minimum wage established at the national or subnational level, whether by law or by collective bargaining agreements. In cases where there are no legal instruments or collective agreements regulating the minimum wage, the Company uses international reference indices. Ferrovial complies with the standards of the Sustainable Trade Initiative (STI) and the methodologies of the Wage Indicator Foundation and the Fair Wage Network.

These methodologies, such as the one developed by Anker, ensure that wages are adequate to cover the basic needs of employees and respect the principles of collective bargaining.

Methodology and guarantees

To ensure a consistent and transparent approach, Ferrovial uses internationally recognized methodologies, such as those provided by the Wage Indicator Foundation, which meet the criteria established in the Living Wage Roadmap initiative. These methodologies ensure that wages are adequate and in line with the principles of sustainability and employee well-being. Collective bargaining is also prioritized as a fundamental tool for establishing fair working conditions.

S1-12: PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

The General Act on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and their Social Inclusion (LGDPD, as per the Spanish acronym) establishes that persons with disabilities are those who have physical, cognitive, intellectual, or sensory impairments, which are likely to be permanent, and which, when interacting with various barriers, may prevent their full and effective participation in society, on an equal basis with others.

Following this provision, the LGDPD provides that, for all purposes, the following shall be considered persons with disabilities:

  • Social Security pensioners who have been granted a permanent disability pension for total, absolute, or severe disability, and civil service pensioners who have been granted a retirement pension for permanent disability rendering them unfit for service.

The number of employees as of December 31, 2025, with a disability was 172 (175 in 2024), representing 0.8% of the total workforce at the end of the period.

If an employee voluntarily decides to disclose their disability to the Company, they must provide a number of documents in order to be eligible for disability-related benefits. To be recognized as a person with a disability and manage the corresponding benefits, the employee must upload a certificate endorsed by an official body to the HR system, certifying that they have a disability.

For this purpose, Ferrovial provides employees with a global tool called Workday, which compiles detailed data related to the HR area. This tool consolidates data on all employees, allowing the extraction of consolidated or detailed information on each of them.

S1-13 TRAINING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Ferrovial applies the phase-in approach this year exclusively over quantitative performance evaluation data. In 2025, employees completed a total of 593,314 training hours, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to professional development.

Women

Note: The data on health and safety training hours has been included, estimating the breakdown by gender and professional category based on the distribution of the remaining training hours. Cybersecurity hours are not broken down by gender or category and they represent 1% of the total training hours, therefore, are not considered material and have been excluded from this report.

2023 2024 2025
Workers covered by occupational health and safety management system (%) 77 80 70

Note:The variation is mainly explained by divestment processes undertaken by the Company over the last two years, which included a large proportion of certified employees. Additionally, the increase in headcount in the United States, has led to this variation.

11 Days lost due to work-related health issues were not disclosed in the prior year as they amounted to only 21 days and were considered immaterial. For transparency purposes, these figures are included in the current year disclosure.
Frequency rate = number of accidents with sick leave*1,000,000/number of hours worked
Total recordable frequency rate = total recordable injuries*1,000,000/number of hours worked
Severity rate = number of days lost due to injuries*1,000/number of hours worked
Note: accident rate data are provided solely as ratios, as these provide a reliable representation of the Company's health and safety performance. Significant variations in the indicators shown are mainly due to the divestment processes undertaken by the Company over the last two years.

In order to respond to the breakdown of indicators by gender in S1-14, an estimate of hours worked has been made based on the gender distribution of the workforce, and the results are as follows:

2025
Men Woman
Total number of recordable work incidents 279 12
Total number of work related health issues 3 0
Severity rate 0.20 0.04

S1 – 16: COMPENSATION METRIC (PAY GAP AND TOTAL COMPENSATION)

ANNUAL TOTAL COMPENSATION RATIO*

2024 2025
Annual Total Compensation Ratio 194.09 160.88

* The methodology used is the calculation of the median of the sum base salary annualized and the actual salary supplements. 96.40% of the workforce is covered.

The ratio between (i) the total annual remuneration of the executive with the highest total annual remuneration and (ii) the median annual remuneration of employees, whereby:

  • The total remuneration of the executive with the highest total annual compensation includes all remuneration components (such as fixed remuneration, annual variable compensation, share-linked plans and remuneration in kind).
  • The median annual remuneration of employees is determined by calculating the median of the total compensation of the employees (base salary annualized and the actual salary supplements).

RATIO OF BASIC SALARY AND REMUNERATION OF WOMEN VS. MEN

2025 gender pay gap (expressed in euros and hourly wage).

2025

2023

-0.65 %

The sum of the Base Salary and Salary Supplements(*) equals salary. The formula used to calculate the gender pay gap is (Men's salary - Women's salary) / Men's salary.

With regard to the global gender pay gap, a shift in favor of men has been observed when comparing data from 2025 with that from 2024, in terms of the average. This is due in part to the inclusion of the Executive Committee, and the divestment of subsidiaries in Chile during 2025, which resulted in a change in the workforce profile. The sample included in the analysis represents 96.40% of the total workforce at the end of the period and covers employees in the countries most relevant to the Company's activities - Canada, Chile, Germany, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. The remaining 3.60% of the workforce corresponds to countries where the activity is not as important or where the number of employees per country is not significant. Within the population considered for the average salary, two individuals have not been classified as either female or male, since one of them identifies as nonbinary and the other one has not disclosed their gender.

(*) Salary supplements are considered to be additional remuneration to on top of the base salary that make up the salary structure. These amounts are related to the work performed by employees (such as night shifts, overtime, etc.), their personal or professional circumstances (e.g., language skills or productivity), or the Company's results (such as the annual variable). In the case of the annual variable, the actual variable compensation for 2025 has been taken into account, unlike in 2024, when the “target” variable compensation was considered.

Due to the methodological update carried out since 2024 in the reports to comply with the requirements of the CSRD, remuneration data has been recalculated using hourly wages instead of annual salaries.

The number of annual hours worked by gender has been estimated based on the total actual hours worked and the percentage of the workforce at year-end by gender.

S1-17: INCIDENTS, COMPLAINTS, AND SEVERE HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS

In 2025, the number of incidents or cases of discrimination, including harassment, reported through the Ethics Channel and other communication platforms affecting the Company’s own workforce is 50 (58 in 2024) of which 8 were cases of discrimination and 42 were cases of harassment. All of which have been investigated and solved or are currently under investigation. With respect to severe human rights incidents there have been no incidents of such type. Thus, no fines, penalties, or compensations have been recorded regarding such incidents and grievances. We have received 174 communications (123 in 2024) of other matters such as privacy data, conflict of interest, among others.
