Social responsibility and respect for local cultures and customs
Cintra’s main objective in the area of social outreach is to synchronize our investments in society with our corporate responsibilities.
In 2008, Cintra set aside 1.96 million euros to develop 114 social initiatives aimed at improving social and econo- mic welfare and preserving the cultural heritage of the communities in which it operates.
Cintra is also committed to carrying out its activities in a socially responsible manner and to respecting the cultural di- versity, customs and values of the people and communities who are affected by its activities.
Projects
In 2008, Cintra made two types of social outreach contributions – those deri- ving from concession contracts or legal requirements, and those of a voluntary nature, carried out in fi ve countries on two continents:

AMPANS: the work of a special employment center at Autema
At Autema, the concession holder of the Sant Cugat-Terrassa- Manresa toll road in Catalonia, the landscaping maintenance and selective trash collection on the sides of the highway have been handled by Ampans for over ten years. They were recently hired to repair the toll plaza facilities and buildings.
Ampans is a non-profi t organiza- tion that helps mentally disabled individuals become integrated in the working world. Its compre- hensive approach encourages personal independence and offers help to the workers’ families.
Chile: Road safety education as a goal
68 schools in 15 communes of the Chilean provinces of Talca, Linares and Nuble received a do- nation of 70,000 euros this year from the road safety campaign carried out at Talca-Chillán, which was called “Learning to take care of ourselves.” This campaign strives to educate children about road safety by teaching them, among other things, to be aware of dangerous situations they may encounter as pedestrians.
