Telefonica – The value of Incident & Injury Free
The Telefonica Distrito C Project in Madrid, Spain is comprised of 14 different buildings. It is one of the largest real estate projects in Europe and has undergone a number of tangible improvements in environmental, health and safety standards. In addition to ensuring the wellbeing of everyone on site, these initiatives have also resulted in long-term savings in construction and future maintenance costs of the project.
