The MasFamilia Foundation has awarded Sacyr in Colombia the EFR Certification in conciliation, which recognizes it as a Family Responsible Company. Sacyr in Spain is also accredited as an EFR company since January 2020.

This certification ratifies the company's work in promoting policies and measures that promote well-being and the balance between the work, family and personal life of employees, demonstrating the commitment to talent management, reconciliation, diversity and co-responsibility as pillars of sustainability.

EFR is supported by the Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare and is recognised by the United Nations and the Interreg Europe programme as a good practice.

External audit

To obtain the certificate, the company passed an external audit in which the 74 measures that are being implemented in the company in relation to quality in employment, equal opportunities, space-time flexibility, personal and professional development and family support were analyzed.

'The EFR Certificate, awarded by Fundacion MasFamilia, is a unique management tool in the world that provides a simple and effective methodology to enable reconciliation processes in companies.

Likewise, it also promotes support for equal opportunities and inclusion, based on current and binding legislation and collective bargaining, so that EFR companies carry out voluntary self-regulation in this area. There are already more than 750 certified companies in more than 20 countries, including Sacyr in Spain', Rafael Fuertes, General Director of the MasFamilia Foundation.

This certification promotes continuous improvement, leveraged in the transversality and potential of conciliation to successfully face new labor trends, the well-being and development of our people and the progress of their families'.
