Ferrovial defines stakeholders both as the internal groups that are part of the company’s value chain (shareholders, employees, investors, customers and suppliers), which are considered as partners in business development, as well as the so-called external stakeholders: the administration and government authorities, the media, analysts, the business community, unions, the non-profit sector and society in general, starting with the local communities where Ferrovial operates.

- 100 press, radio, TV and Internet journalists.
