Indra is a business endeavour conceived of and executed with optimism and ambition. The company takes a long-term approach to sustainability, which is underpinned by its responsible attitude towards its stakeholders regarding economic, environmental and social issues.
At the end of 2003, Indra decided to reassess and enhance its corporate responsibility strategy, with the aim of promoting its corporate citizenship role in tandem with its business objectives, thereby adding value to society as a whole. As a result, the company launched the Corporate Social Responsibility Master Plan, with the aim of applying common standards to the company’s gamut of CSR policies and initiatives and establishing indicators to enable it to better track its performance and public disclosures.
For Indra, corporate responsibility must dovetail with its ordinary business, the creation of wealth through the generation of solutions and services, and the company’s inimitable and unique hallmark: innovation. This is all the more important considering that innovation is of vital importance to the economy and an essential requirement for society’s development. In addition, here at Indra we believe unwaveringly that our solutions and services are an excellent way of contributing to development, not only benefitting our customers but also helping all of society and the communities where we work in a broader sense. Our approach to sustainability is based on the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility vision, which was defined in 2004 as follows, following staff consultation and engagement:
“To be an innovative and knowledge-driven company, and to thereby strengthen our relationships with our internal and external stakeholders (shareholders, employees, clients, etc.), with the institutions that cultivate and develop innovation, and with the communities in which we operate.”
Since 2003, Indra has published an annual corporate responsibility report; since 2008 this report comprehensively tracks the company’s performance in the economic, social and environmental areas in a single annual report .
The annual report is drawn up in accordance with the October 2006 edition of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guide to Producing Sustainability Reports (known as G3), to the highest application level (A+), and in accordance with the provisions of the AA1000 accountability standard (2008 edition).
