Promotion of corporate culture
Ferrovial ensures compliance with its Code of Ethics through the development of its Compliance Program, which is grounded in a comprehensive set of policies that further elaborate the principles contained in the Code. The Company operates an Ethics Channel that supports the monitoring of adherence to the standards of conduct established in the Code and in the complementary policies. In addition, Internal Audit Department performs periodic reviews that strengthen the enforcement of the procedures defined in these policies, ensuring that employees follow the processes set out therein.
Ferrovial actively promotes a culture of ethics and integrity through various initiatives, including the approval and dissemination of Compliance policies and procedures, the rollout of compliance training courses, the publication of compliance-related news on the intranet, and in November 2025, the First Global Compliance Week was held, focused on the theme “Ethics Everywhere: from Policies to Practice.”
The Compliance Network is now comprised of approximately 56 employees, representing various functions and businesses of the Company in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Compliance Network acts as a liaison between the Compliance Department and company employees and supports the Compliance Department in the identification of risks and deployment of policies and training programs. Members of the Compliance Network may also conduct investigations of reports to the Ethics Channel, as appropriate.
The Compliance Network meets regularly to exchange knowledge and information, benefiting from the participation of senior executives. Ferrovial expanded the Compliance Network to include approximately 36 Compliance Ambassadors, bringing the total number of Network employees to 92, who support the Compliance Department in various compliance-related initiatives.
In parallel, Ferrovial has also established a Privacy Network across the different geographies in which it operates, ensuring a coordinated approach to data protection. This network, composed of 39 members, facilitates the sharing of knowledge and best practices on data protection across Ferrovial and fosters collaboration to integrate privacy into business decisions and operational processes.
Ferrovial has also established an Ethics Council, which meets quarterly to serve as an advisory body on complex compliance matters, including the implementation of the Compliance model across the organization and the oversight of the Ethics Channel. The Council is composed of representatives from key functions: Human Resources, Compliance and Internal Audit, ensuring a multidisciplinary perspective.
Likewise, Ferrovial has a Compliance Training and Awareness Plan, the objective of which is to promote a culture driven by ethics and integrity within the organization and to strengthen the enforcement of its ethical standards:
1. Objectives of the Training and Awareness Plan:
2. Key training activities:
Certain positions and functions have been identified as being at higher risk of corruption and bribery. One of the priorities of the Compliance Department’s Training and Awareness Plan is to raise employee awareness of these risks, especially in relation to criminal acts such as corruption and bribery:
To address these risks, specific policies are published, such as the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Gifts & Hospitality Policy, the Lobbying and Political Contributions Policy, the Due Diligence Policy with respect to Third-Party Integrity, the Procedure for Due Diligence with respect to Supplier Integrity, and the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics, among others. To further support implementation of these policies and procedures, the Compliance Department launched an AI agent for Compliance questions and published a series of Quick Guides to help employees understand certain key Compliance policies.
Additionally, training courses have been designed to raise awareness and foster the practical application of these policies and functions-at-risk, concluding that all of them are covered by these training programs. The delivery of training has been made more efficient through the onboarding in 2025 of a training database and platform.
Onboarding of new hires includes courses on the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Anti-Corruption Policy, and the Compliance Boot Camp, as well as training on cybersecurity, occupational risk prevention, and personal data protection, among others.
3. Training volume:
Ethics Channel
Ferrovial is subject to legal requirements under Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of whistleblowers as well as national legislation. In compliance with these and other legal requirements, Ferrovial makes the Ethics Channel available to its employees and stakeholders, a confidential system that allows, if the reporter so wishes, reporting on an anonymous basis, and facilitates the communication of any possible irregularity, breach, or behavior contrary to the 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. This anonymity guarantees a secure and confidential channel for individuals to report concerns or misconduct, ensuring compliance with the principles and protections established in the Directive.
Likewise, matters related to accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, or questionable financial practices at Ferrovial SE, 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, may be reported. 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. Finally, those reports involving actual or alleged misconduct by the Board are handled by the Chairman of the Audit and Control Committee.
The Ethics Channel is available through the intranet or corporate website (https://ferrovial.com) and can be accessed by telephone. Separately, information channels were established in some Group companies for reasons of legal necessity. Ferrovial urges employees and third parties with whom it has a relationship to report any breach of the Code of Ethics, other internal rules, or applicable legislation through the Ethics Channel. All communications are handled objectively and diligently in accordance with the Ethics Channel Policy. Throughout the process, the rights of those involved are respected, in particular the presumption of innocence. Furthermore, Ferrovial has a 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 to the Ethics Channel are screened by the Compliance Department and managed by Management Body Representatives authorized to conduct investigations, taking into account independence, and the absence of conflicts of interest. 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 management of all communications and respect for the individuals involved.
Communications are managed and resolved by the department deemed most appropriate based on the circumstances and geographic proximity to the reporters. Ferrovial ensures maximum independence and the absence of conflicts of interest in this process.
The Chief Compliance Officer reports quarterly to the Audit and Control Committee and once a year to the Board of Directors on the reports received and the measures taken in relation to them.
During 2025, a total of 224 reports were received through the various reporting channels, representing an increase of 24% compared to the 181 received in 2024. Out of the 224 reports received, 91 (41%) were anonymous (compared to 59 (33%) in 2024), and 71 (32%) were considered substantiated (compared to 88 (49%) in 2024). Out of those corroborated, corrective measures were taken in 100% of cases (99% in 2024).
|
Number of communications in 2024 |
Number of communications in 2025 |
|
| Corruption and bribery | 10 | 12 |
| Discrimination or harassment | 58 | 50 |
| Privacy data | 0 | 8 |
| Conflicts of interest | 8 | 6 |
| Money Laundering or insider trading | 0 | 0 |
| Other | 105 | 148 |
* Note:
by employees and stakeholders.
The remediation measures adopted mainly correspond to disciplinary actions (including termination), training programs, or changes to internal processes and procedures, all in accordance with applicable internal procedures, collective bargaining agreements, and, where applicable, applicable legislation. The regulations applicable in the different jurisdictions in which Ferrovial operates are also taken into account.
The Compliance Department periodically reviews reports that have already been closed to detect possible cases of retaliation.
Employees can also report their concerns to the HR Department or their line manager.
Ferrovial also has a suggestions box set up on the Company’s intranet, managed by the HR Department, so that employees can send their suggestions and needs directly to said department.
Awareness of and trust in the Ethics Channel are evaluated through surveys conducted at the end of the mandatory training courses. The latest survey was launched with the 2025 refresher course on the Code of Ethics, and the results showed that 95.5% of employees who completed the course and responded to the survey 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.
Ethical commitment of third parties:
Ferrovial requires third parties, including suppliers, contractors, agents, consultants, and other business partners, with whom it engages to maintain ethical behavior in accordance with the highest standards. In each case, the relevant third party must approve and accept Ferrovial’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and/or the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics, the Anti-Corruption Policy, or the third party’s own policies if they are compatible with the basic principles and commitments set out in Ferrovial’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy. Additionally, third-party integrity due diligence is conducted in line with international best practices to ensure that Ferrovial mitigates the risk of corruption within the Company.
Commitment from executives and directors:
In 2025, employees who completed the refresher course on the Code of Ethics, as well as all the members of the Board of Directors, signed an acknowledgment of the Code, by which they confirmed that they will base their decisions and actions on Ferrovial’s values, policies, and the Code of Ethics; consult the Code whenever in doubt; seek guidance from their manager or the Compliance Department if needed; and report any suspected misconduct through the appropriate channels.
The Company focuses on maintaining ethical relationships with its suppliers, applying an Integrity Due Diligence Process and sharing with them the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics and the Anti-Corruption Policy, ensuring that suppliers share its values and principles. It is essential to establish lasting relationships with strategic suppliers in order to achieve a global approach in line with corporate targets and to identify synergies in the supply chain.
In this sense, effective risk management is essential and includes the evaluation of suppliers and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure the quality and safety of supplies.
This involves monitoring the main risks and opportunities that may affect value creation across the supply chain, which in turn means considering not only economic aspects but also ESG impacts associated with the activity. For example, to mitigate the risk of supply chain disruptions, the ecosystem of critical suppliers is monitored, and viable alternatives are identified to ensure continuity of supply and minimize potential negative effects.
From a general perspective, the degree of criticality of all suppliers is analyzed, where critical suppliers are defined as those whose purchase volume is material from an economic point of view, or those whose supplies or services could have a negative impact on business continuity in the event of an incident, either because they manufacture critical materials or equipment or because they are difficult to replace. In terms of volume of purchases, 31.03% corresponded to critical suppliers (31.06% in 2024).
Ferrovial also maintains a strong local sourcing strategy, 94.8% of the volume of purchases in 2025 came from local suppliers (96.8% in 2024).
| Number | Volume of purchases | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General information (entity-specific indicators) | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 |
| Total suppliers | 45,689 | 46,184 | €6,531,832,511.00 | €6,704,126,461.54 |
| Total critical suppliers | 281 | 295 | €2,028,894,954.00 | €2,080,511,928.21 |
| Critical suppliers (tier 1) | 279 | 292 | ||
| Critical suppliers (non tier 1) | 2 | 3 | ||
In the case of Ferrovial Construction, at the end of 2025, 222 were critical suppliers, of which 219 were Tier 1, and 3 were Tier 2. In 2024, there were 210 critical suppliers identified, of which 208 were Tier 1, and 2 were Tier 2.
Ferrovial does not have a specific supplier payment policy. However, it ensures compliance with the payment terms established in contractual agreements and the applicable legislation in each country where it operates, maintaining responsible and transparent business relationships.
Assessment of ESG issues in the supply chain
ESG considerations are also part of the supplier assessment. Suppliers are classified as high-risk if they provide high-risk products, operate in high-risk sectors, and/or manufacture the supplied products in high-risk countries.
Ferrovial Construction’s Supplier Quality Assessment and Monitoring Procedure, which is applied to all the projects worldwide, establishes the method used for assessing and monitoring supplier performance. The Construction Division has an IT tool that assesses and monitors each supplier based on the evaluations carried out at each construction site or work center. The assessments allow suppliers to be scored on an ongoing basis, and results may lead to the issue of a formal warning for the supplier, the establishment of an improvement action plan, or even disqualification from working with Ferrovial, depending on the severity of the case. When an incident is reported on a project level, the Company takes the opportunity to collaborate and evaluate. In certain cases, if necessary, suppliers are informed of the situation and required to address the issue. Ferrovial offers support through training courses or improvement plans. If a supplier receives three negative evaluations within a year, the Company proposes their disqualification and, once disqualified, they cannot work with the Company again.
Throughout its supply chain, Ferrovial offers the “Training Program: Sustainable Suppliers” for small and medium-sized enterprises. This free and exclusive program is developed by the United Nations Global Compact networks in Spain and the United Kingdom, ICEX Spain Export and Investment, and the ICO Foundation. It represents an excellent opportunity for the Company’s suppliers to strengthen their competitiveness and align themselves with ESG best practices. Likewise, the Ethics Channel is available to all stakeholders on the Ferrovial website, ensuring transparency in relationships and allowing the reporting of any conduct that does not comply with Company standards. Ferrovial has a Suppliers’ Code of Ethics in place, part of the Supplier Ethical Integrity Due Diligence Procedure, which suppliers must be aware of and accept before entering into contractual relationships with the Company. It establishes the basic principles that should guide their behavior while conducting business relationship with Ferrovial. Additionally, purchase orders and contract templates include clauses addressing environmental, social, labor, and health and safety issues, as well as compliance with the principles of the Global Compact, and provisions ensuring ethical behavior and the fight against corruption.
Ferrovial’s Construction Division established a measurable sustainability indicator to evaluate suppliers representing 60% of total purchasing volume by 2025, this percentage for Ferrovial Construction Division was 70,79%. This goal is aligned with Ferrovial Construction’s sustainability strategy, showcasing its commitment to sustainable procurement practices.

In the case of Ferrovial Construction, 7,402 suppliers were assessed in 2025. Out of the 222 critical suppliers, 117 were evaluated (this represents 52.70%), 8 were identified as having potential negative impacts, and 6 of those had an improvement plan put in place. In addition, out of the 117 evaluated suppliers, 6 are currently participating in training programs.
Additionally, Ferrovial Construction uses different platforms to engage, evaluate and monitor suppliers, such as BuildAdvisor. This platform rolled out in Spain in 2024, and during 2025 in the rest of regions, facilitates collaboration with the supply chain by streamlining the search and evaluation of suppliers and offering them opportunities for improvement and suitable projects. This leads to greater efficiency and competitiveness in projects and advances ESG objectives regarding accountability and sustainability matters.
Ferrovial also uses a platform called Supplier 360 that provides additional information to that already available in supplier databases, for the selection, hiring, and monitoring phases. This platform monitors suppliers using advanced data analysis, language processing, and Internet search techniques and allows for the detection of potential risks, whether financial, environmental, legal, labor, human rights, or reputational in nature. In 2025, 1,581 Ferrovial Construction suppliers were monitored using Supplier 360, representing more than 60% of supplier turnover in Spain, the United
States, and the United Kingdom. A total of 50,511 data extractions were collected using this tool. Information sources were expanded, mainly incorporating data related to ESG compliance and performance. Furthermore, the information obtained has been integrated into the corporate purchasing tool, allowing for greater visibility of the information throughout the Company.
Information related to this data point is answered in ESRS 2, GOV-1.
The Compliance Program, approved and supervised by the Board of Directors, was reviewed in 2024 in preparation for Ferrovial SE’s listing on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ, adapting the policies and procedures to the legal requirements of the Netherlands and the United States, and to the standards required for listed companies in those jurisdictions.
The program includes, but is not limited to, the following internal policies and procedures: Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (Code of Ethics); Policy of the Ethics Channel and for dealing with Queries, Complaints and Reports; Anti-Corruption Policy; Compliance Policy; Due Diligence Policy with respect to Third-Party Integrity; Procedure for Due Diligence with respect to Supplier Integrity; Lobbying and Political Contributions Policy; Gifts and Hospitality Policy; Data Protection Policy; Antitrust Policy; Procedure for Approving and Tracking Patronage, Sponsorship and Donation Projects; Patronage or Donation Projects, Anti-fraud Policy and Sanctions, Export Controls, and Anti-boycott Policy.
The Compliance Program is supervised by the Board of Directors through the Audit and Control Committee. The Chief Compliance Officer reports periodically to the Audit and Control Committee and at least once a year to the Board on the effectiveness of the program. The evaluation of the Program includes the review of the controls established for compliance with the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and other regulations on Compliance. The Internal Audit Department regularly audits different aspects of the Compliance Program, including but not limited to, Ferrovial’s Compliance policies.
The Company makes its compliance policies available to its employees on the intranet. The main corporate compliance policies are also available on Ferrovial’s website and training courses on these policies are held periodically. Suppliers providing services to the Company receive the Supplier’s Code of Ethics and the Anti-Corruption Policy, so that they are familiar with them and apply them.
The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies were published on the intranet and website, and a release was posted on Ferrovial’s intranet to inform employees of the importance of reading and applying the Code and policies in their day-to-day activities.
Ferrovial’s Anti-Corruption Policy establishes rules to regulate the conduct of the Group’s employees, executives, and directors, as well as third parties with which it interacts. The policy is governed by the principle of “zero tolerance” for any practice that could be considered bribery or corruption and requires compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws. The policy also requires the reporting of any violation of the policy or other misconduct. The Policy requires that third parties accept Ferrovial’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy or the third party’s own policies, if they are compatible with the basic principles and commitments set out in Ferrovial’s Code and Anti-Corruption Policy to ensure that third parties meet the same standards of integrity and ethics as the Company.
Ferrovial requires ethical behavior in accordance with the highest standards from the third parties with which it interacts. To that end, a third-party integrity due diligence procedure is followed, in line with international best practices.
The Company also makes an Ethics Channel available to its employees and stakeholders so as to facilitate the reporting of any potential irregularities, breaches, or behavior contrary to Ferrovial’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies, or to applicable legislation. Likewise, matters related to accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing or questionable financial practices of Ferrovial, as well as any alleged misconduct by Board members, may be reported.
The Chief Compliance Officer reports quarterly to the Audit and Control Committee and once a year to the Board of Directors on the communications received and the measures taken in relation to them.
The Company makes compliance policies available to its employees on the intranet for them to read and become familiar with. The main corporate compliance policies are also available on the Ferrovial website. Training courses on these policies are also held periodically.
