ESRS S2 WORKERS IN THE VALUE CHAIN

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

Ferrovial determines and evaluates actual and potential impacts on workers in the value chain using a comprehensive framework. These impacts are assessed in the context of their relevance to the Company’s strategy and business model. For example, potential risks such as reputational damage due to human rights violations are directly linked to the Company’s reliance on supply chain partners adhering to fair labor practices. Additionally, positive contributions, such as the generation of wealth and employment in those communities where Ferrovial operates, through its local purchasing policy, showcase how operational strategies are interrelated with broader social outcomes. These incidents also support Ferrovial’s adaptation to align with stakeholder expectations and regulatory demands, thereby reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.

In its Construction Division, Ferrovial employs advanced management tools such as Insite, Supplier360, and BuildAdvisor to set parameters for controls related to the financial, administrative, and production areas of projects. These tools are continuously adapted in response to updates in policies and procedures, regulatory changes, or as part of the Company’s commitment to process improvement. Ferrovial’s requirements regarding workers in its value chain and supplier commitments to these areas are set out in contractual clauses. This ensures a formal framework for upholding labor standards and managing risks within its supply chain.

Ferrovial evaluates the risks and opportunities arising from worker-related impacts across its value chain. Negative impacts, such as systemic risks of human rights violations or exploitative labor practices, are addressed through measures like supplier engagement and compliance with international standards. Effective risk management plays a key role in this approach, including supplier assessment and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure the quality and safety of supplies. Risks, such as supply chain disruptions, are mitigated through continuous monitoring of critical suppliers and the identification of viable alternatives to ensure the continuity of the supply and minimize negative effects. On the other hand, opportunities such as fostering mutual trust with suppliers by improving operational efficiency and transparency are leveraged to strengthen longterm relationships and operational efficiency. These efforts emphasize the integration of value chain resilience into the Company’s strategic and operational frameworks.

The Company ensures that its disclosure encompasses all workers within its value chain who may be significantly affected. This includes not only those directly employed by Ferrovial, but also workers in the supply chain, downstream operations (e.g., logistics and distribution providers), and joint ventures or special purpose entities.

Ferrovial expects its contractors to uphold the same level of respect for human rights, health and safety protection, promotion of employee welfare, and equality and diversity. Therefore, in accordance with applicable legislation and its supplier- and purchasing-related policies, Ferrovial requires responsible behavior from its value chain partners through specific actions, such as the mandatory signing of contracts that include human rights and labor standards clauses, periodic evaluations/audits to verify compliance with these commitments, and monitoring processes to ensure adherence to ethical and sustainability criteria. In addition, suppliers may be required to participate in training programs and improvement plans if any noncompliance is detected. Therefore, it was not necessary to establish a definition of “workers in the value chain”, and no particularly vulnerable groups were identified that require differentiated treatment or for whom the policies applicable to other workers do not adequately guarantee their rights.

Ferrovial also assesses geographical and sectoral risks, including potential incidents of child labor or forced labor in regions or sectors where these risks are known to be prevalent. To mitigate these risks, Ferrovial applies due diligence processes and works with suppliers and partners to ensure compliance with human rights standards. The Company monitors the economic, social, and environmental impacts associated with its supply chain activities, ensuring that potential risks are proactively managed while fostering opportunities for sustainable development.

However, it did identify significant risks and opportunities related to workers in its supply chain:

  • Among the risks, key concerns include the potential impact of infrastructure construction and development on the human rights of communities and customers, such as population displacement; reputational damage and loss of trust in the event of human rights violations; and poor working conditions within the supply chain.
  • On the other hand, opportunities include improving working conditions in the supply chain by promoting quality working environments, differentiating within the sector through adherence to high human rights standards, gaining access to customers with strict human rights requirements, and strengthening transparency and trust with suppliers, improving operational efficiency and business sustainability.

Despite the foregoing, Ferrovial does not operate in any geographical area nor source raw materials that pose a significant risk of child labor, forced labor, or compulsory labor within its value chain. The Company remains firmly committed to respecting human rights and ethical labor practices, ensuring that its operations and relationships with suppliers comply with the strictest international labor standards. To further mitigate these risks, Ferrovial applies robust due diligence processes, including supplier assessments/audits, contractual obligations in line with human rights principles, and grievance mechanisms to promptly solve any issues. These measures help ensure that the Company does not contribute to or cause harm in the countries where it operates.

Significant policy changes The Suppliers’ Code of Ethics was updated in 2025.

Ferrovial upholds the respect for human rights throughout its value chain by implementing a comprehensive set of policies and procedures.

Through its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Company emphasizes conducting all business and professional activities with integrity, honesty, and a strong commitment to human rights. This framework applies to all employees and is grounded in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Ferrovial’s Human Rights Policy, that establishes the Company’s commitment to respecting human rights in all its operations and value chain, including the prevention of these practices, highlights its cooperation with government agencies, international organizations, and civil society to promote and defend human rights. The Company actively identifies, prevents, and mitigates the potential negative impacts of its operations on human rights. It fosters a respectful and dignified work environment by providing training and raising awareness about human rights among all its employees. Also, Ferrovial addresses issues such as human trafficking, forced, compulsory, and child labor in this policy.

While Ferrovial introduced a targeted human rights policy in 2014, it was updated in 2022 to align with international standards such as the United Nations Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and International Labor Organization regulations. Also The Human Rights Policy has been updated and approved by the Board of Directors the 18th of June 2025. The updated policy also incorporates emerging trends, bringing the Company’s human rights approach closer to its operational realities, further strengthening its commitment to protecting and respecting human rights across its own operations and value chain. With respect to severe human rights incidents, there were no such incidents along the value chain.

To ensure ethical partnerships, Ferrovial follows a Due Diligence Procedure that establishes a structured process for evaluating collaborations, partnerships, and procurement activities. The procedure incorporates the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics and enforces compliance with the Anti-Corruption Policy to ensure ethical and transparent business relationships.

The Suppliers’ Code of Ethics, updated in 2025, establishes clear ethical principles for Ferrovial’s suppliers. This code underlines the importance of due diligence in supplier integrity and requires the rejection of corruption or bribery. It applies to all suppliers, regardless of their location or sector, requiring them to adopt and enforce these principles in their supply chains. Ferrovial reserves the right to audit suppliers and terminate agreements with those who fail to comply. Moreover, the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics requires business partners to adhere to international labor standards and explicitly prohibits child labor, forced labor, and any form of human trafficking. These principles are included in supplier contract clauses and compliance with these policies is monitored. Ferrovial manages its supply chain through its Global Purchasing Policy and Purchasing Procedure, which ensure efficient, ethical, and sustainable sourcing practices. These procedures include globally adapted local guidelines that ensure products and services comply with contractual and Company standards. Supplier performance is continuously monitored through the Supplier Quality Evaluation and Follow-up Procedure, further promoting legal compliance and human rights monitoring in operations and business relationships.

Ferrovial evaluates suppliers’ adherence to its standards through due diligence processes, which include scheduled evaluations, audits, and reviews of suppliers’ policies and practices to ensure their compliance with ethical, social, and environmental standards. Non-compliance may lead to corrective actions or, if necessary, the termination of the business relationship.

In terms of sustainability, Ferrovial has adopted several strategic policies to address material sustainability issues:

  • The Sustainability Policy governs sustainability initiatives across all entities, regardless of sector, location, or activity.
  • Ferrovial Construction’s Environmental Policy, derived from the Sustainability Policy, focuses on reducing environmental impact through measures such as legal compliance, risk identification, energy efficiency, staff awareness, and continuous improvement.

Ferrovial’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy is built on three pillars: environment, community, and governance. The 2024-2030 strategy reinforces the Company’s commitment to society while addressing stakeholder expectations and ESG requirements. This approach ensures sustainable project management and maintains Ferrovial’s leadership in the construction sector.

S2-2: PROCESSES FOR ENGAGING WITH VALUE CHAIN WORKERS ABOUT IMPACTS

Ferrovial does not maintain direct communication with workers in its value chain. Ferrovial has not publicly disclosed any global framework agreement or any agreement with global trade union federations regarding the respect for the human rights of workers in the value chain, including their right to collective bargaining. Therefore, there is no evidence that such agreements provide the Company with direct information on the perspectives of these workers.

However, the Company does ensure that labor standards and human rights commitments are reflected in any contractual clauses entered into with its suppliers.

Ferrovial uses management tools such as Supplier 360, mentioned before, which enable it to monitor and evaluate supplier performance, including aspects related to the economic, social, and environmental impact of their activities. Through these audits and/or evaluations, Ferrovial controls risks in its supply chain and promotes compliance with labor standards.

Ferrovial also has an Ethics Channel that allows workers in its value chain to raise their concerns and report negative incidents on a confidential and anonymous basis. This channel is designed to facilitate the reporting of any possible irregularities, breaches, or behavior that is contrary to ethics, legality, and the Company’s internal regulations.

Although these mechanisms do not involve direct collaboration with workers, they help to control occupational risks and promote continuous improvement in suppliers’ practices. They also make it possible to evaluate suppliers’ performance in complying with labor and social standards that protect vulnerable groups. Suppliers’ contractual clauses also include commitments related to human rights, indirectly addressing these risks.

S2-3: PROCESSES TO REMEDIATE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS FOR VALUE CHAIN WORKERS TO RAISE CONCERNS

As referenced in S2-2, the Company provides its employees and stakeholders with the Ethics Channel (see ESRS G1-1 for more information), a confidential and, if the reporter so wishes, anonymous system (pursuant to applicable legislation), to facilitate the reporting of any possible irregularities, breaches, or behavior contrary to ethics, legality, and Ferrovial’s internal policies and procedures, including, in particular, possible cases of fraud or corruption, anticompetitive practices, human rights violations, financial and tax matters, or damage to the environment. The Compliance Department is responsible for the management of the Ethics Channel with support from Internal Audit for the analysis of certain high-priority communications, as well as from other Company departments depending on the nature of the relevant matter. The Chief Compliance Officer reports quarterly to the Audit and Control Committee and annually to the Board of Directors regarding the communications received and the measures adopted in relation to such communications. In addition to the possibility of reporting negative situations, Ferrovial is committed to investigating and responding appropriately to concerns raised through the Ethics Channel. This system not only acts as a means of reporting problems but also plays a key role in mitigating and remediating negative impacts on employees, as it allows the Company to proactively identify and address situations that may require intervention. Ferrovial strives to ensure that all concerns are treated with the seriousness and confidentiality they deserve, thereby contributing to a safer and fairer working environment for all workers in its value chain.

Ferrovial also uses Supplier 360, that monitors suppliers using advanced data analysis, language processing, and internet search techniques. This allows the Company to detect potential risks, whether financial, environmental, legal, labor, human rights, or reputational in nature. The platform provides additional information to that already available in supplier databases, both for the selection phase and for the contracting and monitoring phase. In 2025, 1,581 Ferrovial Construction suppliers were monitored, representing more than 60% of supplier turnover in Spain, the US, and the United Kingdom. A total of 50,511 data extractions were collected through this tool. Sources of information have also been expanded, mainly incorporating data relating to ESG compliance and performance. Furthermore, the information obtained through Supplier 360 has been integrated into the corporate purchasing tool, allowing for greater visibility of the information throughout the Company.

In the event that a negative impact is identified, Ferrovial follows a structured remediation process to address and solve the issue. Each case reported through the Ethics Channel or detected via any management tool such as Supplier 360 is analyzed to determine the appropriate corrective measures to be adopted, which may include contractual penalties, engagement with affected stakeholders, or collaboration with external authorities if required. The effectiveness of these resources is monitored through follow-up actions to ensure that the issue is solved and that similar risks are mitigated in the future. The Company also tracks the use of the Ethics Channel and other reporting mechanisms, analyzing trends in the communications received to continuously improve its response processes. In contracts entered into with suppliers, it is necessary to set out the appropriate provision so that they are aware of the existence of this channel and that all their employees can use it to report any type of incident. For more information, see ESRS G1-1.

The Policy of the Ethics Channel and for Dealing with Queries, Complaints and Reports, establishes zero tolerance for retaliation against reporters acting in good faith and/or related parties, such as co-workers and family members, or against anyone who participates in the investigation of a Communication. Protection against retaliation is also explicitly addressed in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Additionally, the Compliance Department periodically reviews closed reports to detect potential cases of retaliation.

As part of its commitment to integrating sustainability and human rights across its value chain, in 2024 and 2025, Ferrovial has invited suppliers from different geographic areas to participate in the “Training Program: Sustainable Suppliers,” a program developed by the United Nations Global Compact in Spain, ICEX Spain Export and Investment, and the ICO Foundation This online training program enables SME suppliers to meet the sustainability standards of large companies, while acquiring general knowledge about corporate sustainability, how to integrate such knowledge into their strategy, and how to measure the results obtained. The effectiveness of these processes is assessed through supplier performance indicators and their compliance with the contractual commitments established by Ferrovial.

Ferrovial has not disclosed specific measures to directly ascertain the prospects of workers who are particularly vulnerable to incidents or marginalization, such as female workers, migrant workers, or persons with disabilities, within its value chain. However, it monitors working conditions across its supply chain, including aspects related to diversity and human rights.

S2-4: TAKING ACTION ON MATERIAL IMPACTS ON VALUE CHAIN WORKERS, AND APPROACHES TO MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND PURSUING MATERIAL OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO VALUE CHAIN WORKERS, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE ACTIONS

Ferrovial has implemented measures to manage its material impacts, risks, and opportunities related to workers in its value chain.

Some key actions include:

  • Supplier assessment and monitoring: The Company has established procedures to assess and monitor supplier performance, which incorporate ESG criteria. This ongoing assessment allows suppliers to be classified according to their level of risk and enables informed decisions to be made, such as warnings, improvement plans, or even disqualification in serious cases. In addition to evaluating suppliers in each of the projects,, Ferrovial uses tools such as Supplier 360 to 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. Furthermore, the Company periodically reviews the results of evaluations/audits and training programs to identify areas for improvement and adjust policies and procedures accordingly.
  • Supplier training program: Ferrovial offers the “Training Program Sustainable Suppliers” aimed at small and medium-sized companies in its supply chain. This free program, developed in collaboration with the United Nations Global Compact in Spain and the United Kingdom, ICEX Spain Export and Investment, and the ICO Foundation, provides the Company’s suppliers with tools to improve their competitiveness while aligning with ESG best practices. Thanks to this initiative, Ferrovial promotes a responsible and resilient supply chain that maintains ethical and sustainable business practices. Taking comprehensive approach to ensuring positive impacts, mitigating risks, and promoting opportunities across its value chain by means of strategic initiatives, responsible policies, and innovative tools. As part of its commitment to becoming an industry benchmark by promoting best practices in human rights across the value chain and strengthening mutual trust to improve operational efficiency and transparency with its.
  • Ethics Channel: The Company has an Ethics Channel accessible to all stakeholders through its website, which guarantees transparency in relationships and allows for the reporting of any conduct that does not comply with Company’s standards. As part of the contractual agreement, suppliers must confirm that they are aware of and have access to Ferrovial’s Ethics Channel, which provides a confidential platform for reporting any misconduct or breaches of labor and human rights standards. This ensures that any potential issues can be remediated in a timely and effective manner.
  • Suppliers’ Code of Ethics: Ferrovial has a Suppliers’ Code of Ethics, which suppliers must be familiar with and accept before establishing contractual relationships with the Company. This code establishes the fundamental principles that should guide their behavior in their business relationship with Ferrovial.

These actions cover both Ferrovial’s internal activities as well as its upstream value chain, including suppliers in several geographic areas in which the Company operates. The scope of these actions extends to all Ferrovial divisions and projects worldwide.

In terms of timeframes, the evaluation and monitoring of suppliers, as well as the use of the Ethics Channel, are ongoing processes. The Training Program: Sustainable Suppliers is offered periodically, and the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics applies from the very beginning of the contractual relationship.

In the event of incidents reported at the project level, Ferrovial works with suppliers to address and resolve the relevant issues, offering support mechanisms through training courses or improvement plans. If a supplier receives three negative evaluations in a year, a disqualification proposal is issued. Only after this proposal has been formally reviewed and approved will the supplier be disqualified, at which point they will no longer be permitted to work with the Company. Ferrovial systematically monitors supplier performance and the effectiveness of the measures adopted. These assessments enable suppliers to be rated on an ongoing basis, and the results may lead to formal warnings, the definition of improvement plans, or even the disqualification of the supplier, depending on the severity of the situation.

Ferrovial manages actual material incidents in its value chain through a structured and clearly defined procedure, which includes the following steps:

  • Formal notification to the supplier, where applicable: When an incident is identified, Ferrovial formally notifies the supplier and requires specific remediation measures to resolve the relevant issue.
  • Improvement plans: Ferrovial supports suppliers through tailored improvement plans aimed at resolving identified deficiencies. This process is governed by the Construction Supplier Quality Assessment and Monitoring Procedure, which defines targeted actions based on the severity of the incident.
  • Disqualification criteria: Ferrovial has established a structured supplier monitoring and evaluation system to mitigate risks across its value chain. All suppliers are evaluated on their adherence to deadlines, price compliance, quality requirements, technical capability, and compliance with anti-corruption policies and the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics. Suppliers that provide labor are additionally assessed on their environmental performance and health and safety practices. Suppliers with persistent non-compliance issues are required to implement remediation action plans and, if non-compliance persists (suppliers that receive three negative evaluations within a one-year period are proposed for disqualification) they are disqualified. Once disqualified, they are no longer permitted to work with the Company, which ensures compliance with Ferrovial’s standards. This approach ensures that all suppliers adhere to the Company’s ethical and sustainability commitments, minimizing the risk of adverse impacts on workers.
  • Ethics and transparency: Ferrovial maintains an Ethics Channel, accessible on its website, which allows stakeholders to report conduct or incidents that violate the Company’s ethical standards. This channel increases transparency in incident management.

To ensure the effectiveness of the actions implemented, Ferrovial follows structured monitoring and control practices across its supply chain. Through the Construction Supplier Quality Assessment and Monitoring Procedure, suppliers are continuously evaluated based on their operational, ethical, and ESG performance, ensuring that purchasing practices remain aligned with the Supplier Code of Conduct and that potential conflicts with ESG requirements are identified and addressed in a timely manner. These evaluations enable informed decisions to be made, including the issuance of warnings, the implementation of corrective action and improvement plans with defined timelines, or the exclusion of suppliers from contracting when minimum ESG requirements cannot be achieved within the established timeframe, particularly in serious or repeated cases. In addition, Ferrovial uses tools such as Supplier 360 to monitor supplier performance in real time and periodically reviews the results of evaluations, audits, and training programs to identify areas for improvement and to adjust policies, procedures, and purchasing practices accordingly. The Ethics Channel further reinforces this framework by providing a confidential platform for stakeholders to report concerns related to supplier conduct or ESG compliance, fostering transparency, trust, and appropriate follow-up actions.

Ferrovial also integrates ESG criteria into its Global Purchasing Policy and Ethical Integrity Due Diligence Procedure for suppliers. Suppliers are classified as high risk when they operate in sectors or countries with increased exposure according to ESG criteria, and ongoing monitoring through the Supplier Quality Assessment Procedure ensures compliance with these standards, including human and labor rights. Ferrovial adopts a proactive approach by incorporating contractual clauses that prohibit practices such as child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking, which are monitored through regular audits and/or assessments. In the event of non-compliance, the Company works with suppliers to develop improvement plans or provide targeted training

Ferrovial has not identified or received any reports of serious human rights violations related to the upstream and downstream areas of its value chain in 2024 and 2025.

S2-5: TARGETS RELATED TO MANAGING MATERIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS, ADVANCING POSITIVE IMPACTS AND MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Ferrovial continuously assesses the effectiveness of its sustainability targets and initiatives through internal evaluations and stakeholder engagement. Although the Company does not have a formal process for collaborating directly with value chain workers or their representatives to identify lessons learned or areas for improvement, Ferrovial integrates best practices and knowledge from industry benchmarks, regulatory developments, and ongoing dialogue with key stakeholders. This approach ensures the continuous enhancement of its strategies while maintaining a responsible and sustainable business model.

Furthermore, Ferrovial’s knowledge of its global supply chain, as well as the tools available to the Company, guarantee a more effective management.

Although Ferrovial has value chain management policies in place, it has not yet defined specific objectives or targets in relation to the participation of credible spokespersons for workers’ representatives. This particular area could be further strengthened in future sustainability and social dialogue strategies.
