Social responsibility
We link the business development of Ercros with the social development of our environment
We materialise our social responsibility through the application of good practices, respect and fulfilment of people,
equality and social dialogue
Committed to society
Contributing to the wealth and wellbeing of society, through a solid and lasting industrial project, is a general aim of Ercros.
The company has subscribed to the Responsible Care program, an initiative of the global chemical sector that is promoted in Spain by the Business Federation of the Spanish Chemical Industry (Feique). As a company adhering to this program, we are committed to continuous improvement in terms of safety, health, environment and protection in all operations. We have obtained 82 points out of 100 in the self-assessment questionnaire on compliance with the Responsible Care program.
On the other hand, we have been given a global rating of AA in the ESG Rating 2024 report from Lighthouse-Spanish Institute of Financial Analysts (IEAF), with 86 points out of 100. This rating qualifies the behaviour of companies based on three pillars : environmental, social and governance (ESG), and in the case of Ercros, all pillars improve their score and are placed at high or very high performance.
The company is committed and involved in all the areas in which it operates, especially in the communities where its work centres are located. One of Ercros' main contributions to society is the employment generated by its activity, with about 4,100 direct, indirect and induced jobs, which represent an average of 3% of the active population of the municipalities in which its factories are located.
Ercros also contributes economically to sustaining public finances through the payment of taxes, levies, fees, contributions, etc.
