The aim is to achieve a two-fold objective: presenting the Report in an innovative and easy way and reducing the environmental impact derived from printing documents. 

The report focuses on issues identified as significant in the previous materiality analysis, the results of which appear in this document. After actively listening to more than 18,000 people, all of whom work within its field of activity, Aqualia collects and integrates the main concerns of its stakeholders in its Sustainability Report. 

In addition, every year, the company aims to reach all of its stakeholders through this Report.
