Either something disruptive and transformative must take place, or it&#039;s not going to happen. To achieve this, companies have to participate. When you look at emissions, almost 40% come from buildings, and a third from transportation, and for Ferrovial, those are key sectors. We need to look at how we can contribute and provide the right solutions. Without cooperation from everyone, it&#039;s not going to happen.            <\/blockquote>\n\n            <footer class=\"block-quote__footer\">\n                                    <p class=\"block-quote__author\" aria-label=\"\">\n                        <span class=\"block-quote__author-name\">Ignacio Madridejos<\/span>\n                    <\/p>\n                                    <p class=\"block-quote__author-role\" aria-label=\"\">\n                        CEO of Ferrovial                    <\/p>\n                            <\/footer>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <section class=\"wysiwyg text-editor \" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container container--narrow container--p-10\">\n            <h2>The Green Commitment Gains Ground<\/h2>\n<p>The economic system is facing the challenge of generating sustainable, affordable, environmental, and social value.
