The first abertis Award for Transport Infrastructure Management, awarded by the abertis chair in France, was won by Guillaume Costeseque in the Masters category, while Judith F. Princeton and Bassem Besbes were joint winners in the Doctoral Thesis category.

Coinciding with International Volunteer Day, which was held on 5 December, abertis today held its third Corporate Volunteer Day, which is this year focused on making the Group’s employees aware of the situation of the most disadvantaged minors. The day, which this time round was held under the slogan of “Take them by the hand”, forms part of Voluntaris, the Corporate Volunteer Programme which the company has run since 2009.

In 2010 abertis reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 9% compared to the previous year, primarily due to efforts made by the company in energy saving and efficiency.

Around 150 people participated in the charity walk and family activities organised by the abertis Voluntaris group, which were held in Foix Natural Park and Castellet Castle. The events are part of the 3rd abertis Corporate Volunteer Day, to be held on 12 December.
