About this report
Welcome to the 2013 Annual Report of
the Focus-Abengoa Foundation, where
we report on our economic and social
performance in 2013
Just like every financial year, the Focus-Abengoa Foundation is publishing this annual report to
take stock of its sociocultural activities in 2013 in pursuit of its goal of generating value for society.
Throughout 2013, Focus-Abengoa has kept up its sociocultural commitment to the city of Seville
and all the communities where Abengoa does business. Its main objectives are to protect and
disseminate culture, primarily in its different artistic expressions, and to develop cooperation and
social training activities, with particular attention to the most socially disadvantaged groups.
Among the new developments in 2013, and in line with its avant-garde spirit, Focus-Abengoa
is presenting this 2013 annual report following the latest G4 version of the Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI), the worldwide standard of reference on sustainability reports. For the first time,
this annual report contains a materiality analysis on the most important issues for the Foundation
and is thus anticipating the trends in informational transparency in its sector.
We welcome your opinion on our new form of reporting.

In 2013, the Foundation reached the
United States through Abengoa

Letter from the
Presidents
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation presents a new edition of its Annual
Report, where it takes stock of financial year 2013. This time we are
following the guidelines of the most recent version (G4) of the Global
Reporting Initiative in order to get our stakeholders to participate in our
activities with transparency and anticipation.
This report is a reflection of Abengoa’s commitment to the sociocultural
development of the communities where it operates. During this past year,
the Foundation’s internationalisation took a huge leap forward: For the
first time, it reached the United States through the exhibition “Noor. Light
in Art and Science in the Islamic World”, which will be displayed at the
Dallas Art Museum in 2014.
The show is yet another manifestation of Focus-Abengoa’s focus on
researching and disseminating our humanistic-technological knowledge.
The 2013 School of Energy, which was devoted to global governance
of climate change, ushered in a new stage with the Forum on Energy
Transition and Climate Change, directed by Professor Josep Borrell. The
purpose of this activity is to observe, analyse and debate the process of
energy transition within the context of the struggle against climate change.
The Forum aims to reach a level of quality and international dissemination
that the Foundation has already attained in its cultural heritage activities.
We are continuing our cultural promotion efforts through our artistic
heritage. The permanent collection of the Centro de Investigación Diego
Velázquez, the Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez Library and the Legacy, all
housed in the Hospital de los Venerables, are a cultural treasure that the
Foundation wishes to make available to everyone. For this reason, we
are making an enormous investment in order to properly showcase this
heritage and make it available online so we can promote the Baroque
globally.
With regard to our social actions, we are still working to improve the
wellbeing of the most vulnerable collectives in five Ibero-American
countries along with India and Spain through our People, Education
and Communities Programme (PEyC). In 2013, it was implemented in
Seville for the first time with the assistance of the Hermanas de la Cruz
congregation.

5 | Interview with the General Manager Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Interview with the General Manager
Anabel Morillo, General Manager of Focus-Abengoa,
takes stock of the Foundation’s essence and its most
important contributions.
1. In your opinion, what is Focus-Abengoa and what
does it represent?
Our Foundation is a cultural institution created by
Abengoa in 1982 to channel its social action. It was
started by Javier Benjumea Puigcerver, the founder
of both Abengoa and its foundation. Abengoa is
a socially conscious company that is committed to
society and has a universal vision of its city. The
Foundation’s soul can be found in Seville.
2. What would you highlight in the Foundation’s
history to date?
Since the beginning with its first publishing activities,
Focus-Abengoa has managed to bring to fruition
a large number of important milestones and it has
risen to countless challenges which have helped it
“The Foundation has
its roots in Seville, but its
vision is universal”
Anabel Morillo León
General Manager
of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation
to grow sustainably. And this is thanks to the drive,
effort and toil of many people, a great human team
that has imprinted Abengoa’s history with their own
personality in the promotion and patronage of the arts,
situating the Foundation where it is today.
Our focus on excellence has always enabled us to
choose the best professionals for each activity, plus we
have woven ties of friendship and partnership with
institutions, beneficiaries and people who have brought
us vast human and intangible wealth over time.
3. Describe the Foundation’s relationship with its
parent company, Abengoa.
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation serves Abengoa.
The company’s commitment and involvement are
not just a passing trend. The support that Abengoa
provides is palpable; it is our patron, even though
we independently manage our initiatives in order to
safeguard our founding goals. The top professionals

6 | Interview with the General Manager Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
support us in our daily efforts by contributing their
values and skills.
Correspondingly, the Foundation benefits from
Abengoa’s international expansion and its innovation
and anticipation policy, which enables us to open the
Foundation up to the world.
4. It is time to take stock of the financial year. How has
2013 been for the Focus-Abengoa Foundation?
This year has been very positive. It has enabled us
to continue contributing to the cultural and social
enrichment of the countries where Abengoa operates
through our different areas of action.
We have made headway in each of these areas: in our
social work efforts with the implementation of the
PEyC programme in Seville; in our heritage activities
with the Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez Library and Legacy;
and in the spheres of technology and research with the
launch of the Forum on Energy Transition and Climate
Change.
“We want each of our activities
to be unique and to bear our
hallmark”
And yet we have also managed to combine this
with our traditional activities, such as education,
publishing and musical activities on the organ of Los
Venerables. I would particularly like to highlight the
Noor exhibition, which is the first large international
exhibition we have held on to Islamic art.
This is the first time that one of the Foundation’s
cultural initiatives has been taken to the United States,
a country where Abengoa has a strong presence as a
world leader in renewable energies.
5. Could you explain how the Foundation is dealing
with these times of socioeconomic hardship?
Just like the company, the Foundation works with
budgets and short- and medium-term plans in an
attempt to get the greatest return from each of the
activities we do, and we do away with any actions
that are not aligned with our objectives. We also trim
the budgets of each initiative and replace economic
resources with imagination and creativity.
6. What would you like the Foundation’s future to be
like?
In the future, the Foundation should keep working
without losing its values, without losing its original
spirit and retaining a team of professionals who are
aligned with the culture of the Foundation and evolve
over time, building trust and quality in each of the
activities, where details count as much as the big
picture.
7. Finally, what about the Foundation makes you the
proudest?
The rehabilitation of the Hospital de los Venerables
for our headquarters and the construction of the organ,
the permanent collection of the Centro Velázquez, the
Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez Legacy and the creation of
the Focus-Abengoa Campus, where the archaeological
heritage converges with the new technologies.
We have worked to build permanent realities for the
future generations.

7 | Profile of the Foundation Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Profile of the Foundation
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation was founded through the will and drive of a man who was before his time and
always committed to society, Javier Benjumea Puigcerver, the founder of Abengoa and major driving force behind
the Foundation.
We at Focus-Abengoa are always mindful of Javier’s dream of generating value for society, and we share this spirit
of social commitment which knows no bounds as it radiates out from the city of Seville.
Focus-Abengoa was founded in October 1982 driven by the desire of Abengoa, S.A. It is a non-profit, private
cultural foundation that is charitable in nature and has an unlimited duration in time. Our headquarters is located
in the Hospital de los Venerables, in Seville (Spain). There were no major changes to the Foundation’s property or
structure in 2013.
Focus-Abengoa works with the Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Royal Fine Arts Academy, the Royal Academy of
Quality Liberal Arts of Seville and the Royal Academy of Medicine and Surgery of Seville. It has also worked
with the United Nations’ Global Compact since 2002, the Prince of Asturias Foundation, COTEC, the Prince
of Girona Foundation, the Valencian Foundation of Higher Education, the Foundation for Drug Addiction
Assistance, Project Man Association, the University of Seville and Loyola University Andalusia, among others.
During financial year 2013, the Foundation has conducted a total of 58 activities as part of its sociocultural efforts.

Our history
The Foundation’s activities began in 1972, with the
publication of the book Sevillian Topics, which was
joined by a collection of documents, books and
engravings on the Kingdom of Seville by Sevillian
authors.
The cultural activities encouraged the company’s
executives to take yet another step beyond its
technological role. Thus, in 1982 the Fundación Fondo
de Cultura de Sevilla (Focus) was created. Since
1991, the Foundation has been headquartered at the
Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes, a historical-artistic
monument dating from the 17th century.
Focus-Abengoa thus gave back to the city and its
citizens, along with future generations, this unique
building after a long and costly restoration not only of
its architecture, but also of its painting, sculpture, gold
work and engravings.
Our history
of success will
continue as we
head steadfastly
into the future
1972 1982 1991
With the opening of the Hospital de Los Venerables
in 1991, the Foundation also unveiled its Baroque
organ, after it was under construction for three years
by the German organ-builder Gerard Grenzing. The
Foundation’s current tenured organist is Father Ayarra,
the head of the Foundation’s musical activity and also
the tenured organist of the cathedral of Seville. Father
Ayarra handpicks the most prestigious organists from
all over the world to play this organ.
In 2002 the Foundation began its work in the field
of energy and climate change, which is the core
of Abengoa’s business. It launched the Forum for
Reflection on the Environment and Sustainable
Development, and held the first World Biofuels
Conference.

2007 2011 2013
The Hospital de los Venerables was shaping up to
be one of the most complete and best-conserved
testimonies of Spain’s Baroque heritage. The
acquisition of the painting Saint Rufina (Velázquez,
1629-1632) in 2007 is the clearest example of Focus-
Abengoa’s commitment to art and culture and was a
milestone for the city of Seville in particular and for
art history in general.
In 2011 the Focus-Abengoa Foundation received the
legacy which included the library, photograph library,
personal archive and collection of art works of Alfonso
Emilio Pérez Sánchez thanks to a donation from his
legal heirs.
This legacy is perhaps the most important private
library and photograph collection on art history in
Spain, with a thematic singularity oriented at studying
the painting and drawing of the Spanish and Italian
Baroque. After it is completely catalogued, this legacy
will be one of the most important collections of its
genre in Spain.
Finally, in 2013 we accompanied Abengoa in its arrival
in the United States thanks to the exhibition Nur:
Light in the Art and Science of the Islamic World.
This exhibition is the outcome of an international
partnership with institutions from more than 22
countries around the world. This project, entirely
coordinated by Focus-Abengoa, will be exhibited in
the Dallas Art Museum in 2014.

A permanent contribution
Since 1982, our founding mission has been to promote culture in
its different artistic and scientific manifestations by carrying out
educational, social assistance and research activities. What is more, in
line with Abengoa’s social cooperation policy, we also work directly and
continuously with community NGOs which are exemplary in their social
intervention in vulnerable groups all over the world but particularly in
Latin America.
As part of this commitment to promote culture in its different artistic
manifestations, and to work in cooperation and social development, at
Focus-Abengoa we carry out numerous activities framed within our five
areas of action:
In 2013 we contributed

13 | What matters to us Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
What matters to us
This 2013 Annual Report once again demonstrates the innovative spirit of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation, which is presenting the
information on this financial year following the criteria, principles and contents defined in the new Global Reporting Initiative’s
(GRI) G4 framework for presenting sustainability reports. These standards require that all the important aspects be defined, along
with their scope and impact on stakeholders. The Focus-Abengoa Foundation thus stands at the forefront of sustainability reporting.
The purpose of the materiality analysis required by the G4 standard of the GRI is to identify any social, environment or economic
matters that are important to the Foundation and that influence the decision-making that can affect its stakeholders. Thanks to this
analysis, the Focus-Abengoa Foundation can show society the issues related to sustainability in a more realistic way that matches its
expectations.
Value chain
Focus-Abengoa’s activity takes place in three phases, which make up the Foundation’s value chain. The important matters identified
affect each of these phases in a different way:
Planning
This refers to the strategy and
prioritisation of objectives, planning
and design of the Foundation’s
activities and other internal
functions.
Fundraising
This encompasses functions and
activities related to the Foundation’s
funding. Abengoa is its only patron.
Contributions
This is when the Foundation
launches and implements its planned
activities, monitors them and
ultimately fulfils its social-cultural
mission.
For further information about the materiality process see chapter «About this report».

Materiality matrix (G4-19)
Focus-Abengoa’s materiality matrix generally captures the main trends, expectations
and recommendations for non-profit organisations. It also bears the Foundation’s
own reality in mind, along with the important issues for its parent company, Abengoa,
thus giving rise to a repertoire of twelve aspects regarded as important which will be
further examined in this report.

16 | Corporate governance Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Corporate governance
A Board that makes the difference
At Focus-Abengoa, we base our activities on the principles and values that have earned the top international
recognition in order to define our corporate governance, a key factor in properly fulfilling our mission and the
best guarantee of our transparency. Through good governance, we consolidate the recognition and trust of the
communities in which we operate.
In 2013 we have
continued with
the process of
implementing our
Code of Good
Governance
Our Code of Good Governance
Professionalism, efficiency and commitment to society
are reflected in a competent governing body which
has solid principles and clearly defined responsibilities.
They are joined by an outstanding management team
who show their commitment to the Foundation’s spirit,
mission and objectives day after day.
At Focus-Abengoa, we articulate our governance
system around three main norms:
__ The Foundation’s by-laws.
__ The Code of Good Governance, which interprets
and fleshes out the Foundation’s by-laws.
__ The Code of Conduct, for temporary investments in
the Foundation.
The Board has the responsibilities for governing and
representing the Foundation, and it is made up of 19
members.
The managerial structure is unitary, and all the
members of the Board are independent and non-executive,
including the presidents.
For greater efficacy, our Board members’ posts are
personal and non-transferrable, and their duration is
indefinite except for the president, who has to be re-elected
every four years to remain in the position.
As a non-profit organisation, our Foundation does not
pay its Board members for their work. They accept the
position pro bono and are solely motivated by their
goodwill and social commitment. However, Focus-
Abengoa does remunerate its employees in the general
management in order to ensure that they perform
their jobs properly. It pays them according to a market
analysis and with the approval of Abengoa (in the case
of our General Manager). Additionally, their pay also
depends on fulfilment of the Foundation’s mission.
The Board’s responsibilities and those of its members
are contained in the Foundation’s governance system,
which includes the possibility of creating other
instruments to support its efforts, such as executive
committees. The Board also has the authority to
appoint professionals who are charged with ensuring
the Foundation’s compliance with the laws and other
managerial responsibilities.
We want our Board to include representatives of
the Foundation’s main stakeholders. We pay close
attention to the suggestions from Abengoa, our parent
company and try to ensure that the Board contains
representatives who are instructors at Seville’s
universities and scholars from the Royal Academies
headquartered in Seville. For the composition of
its members, bearing in mind diversity and non-discriminatory
criteria, the Board chooses a majority
of independent professionals from the worlds of

business, education and culture with clear professional
prestige and successful careers who stand out not only
for their experience and knowledge but also for their
proven reputation.
As a complement to support the Foundation’s
governance and representation, and in implementation
of its resolutions, the Board has decided that the
Manager is the instrument charged with administering
and overseeing the entire foundation. The manager
also has the authority to delegate others to carry out
given management duties.
Likewise, in line with our commitment to good
governance, Focus-Abengoa makes every effort
to keep in direct and constant contact with all its
stakeholders as we fulfil our sociocultural mission.
What is more, the General Manager meets with
Abengoa on a monthly interaction committee to
review the Foundation’s day-to-day operations.
Our Board participates actively in the governance of
the Foundation, always acting with the diligence that
can be expected of a representative body. For this
reason, it has the authority to develop, approve and
update all of its functions in the exercise of Focus-
Abengoa’s activity, which take specific shape in the
action programmes established to fulfil our foundation
mission.
Along these lines, and with the goal of keeping our
Board members informed about what is happening
in the Foundation, our Code of Good Governance
gives them the broadest authorities regarding access
The executive structure of the Board is
unitary, and its members of independent
and non-executive
to information and consultation on any aspect of the
Foundation which can help it to achieve the goals
set. What is more, to achieve effective fulfilment of
the governance and representation functions, the
Foundation draws up multi-year steering plans which
are coherent with its founding goals and the activities
it performs.
The Board meets at least twice a year, and the agenda
always includes a presentation of its day-to-day
activities and, if needed, the activities planned for the
following period, taking stock of the key issues and
associated risks. After that, an effectiveness analysis
is conducted of the measures taken by the Board
on these issues, always bearing in mind Abengoa’s
considerations in terms of both identification and the
management of the risks and opportunities associated
with our sociocultural mission.
Beyond this evaluation of risks and opportunities,
the Board addresses the Foundation’s strategy by
developing an annual monitoring report on the degree
of compliance with the governance system.
On the other hand, communication between the Board
and the other members of the Foundation is fluid, and
there is constant interaction between them, as well as
the possibility of forwarding to the Board any issue
deemed important, always channelled via the secretary
of the Board and the General Manager and, in certain
specific cases, through the President. In 2013, no major
issues were reported to the Board.
Finally, with regard to any possible conflicts of interest
among the Board members, the Focus-Abengoa
Foundation’s rules of conduct require that these be
notified via either the president or the secretary of the
Board, and that they must be reflected in the annual
report of the Foundation’s activities.
The Board has the exclusive authority to review and
approve the Foundation’s annual report. What is
more, on this occasion it has guaranteed that all the
important issues identified in the materiality study
are reflected in this 2013 Annual Report. Finally,
the Foundation’s Board is not subjected to any
performance evaluation process.

19 | Ethics and integrity Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Ethics and
integrity
Our ethical commitment
Ethical matters are extremely important throughout
the entire value chain, and for this reason Focus-
Abengoa Foundation takes the main international
referents on the matter into account and practises
due diligence to prevent, detect and eradicate any
irregularities. The Foundation has implemented its
norms of conduct within its overall governance system,
and it is sure that they are thoroughly disseminated so
that all employees are aware of them, understand them
and abide by them.
Our conduct
The Focus-Abengoa governance system contains the
principles and duties required of both Board members
and employees, in line with the values of ethics and
integrity that are in the international vanguard in
non-profit organisations. These principles and duties
serve as a guide so that anyone who provides services
at the Foundation can tailor their behaviour to the
contents contained in this governance system. On the
other hand, there is a specific regulation for temporary
investments in the Foundation through a particular
code of conduct which contains the duty to report any
temporary investments in stock market securities and
financial instruments made by Focus-Abengoa to the
Protectorate1.
The Foundation has the support of Abengoa’s
corporate services not only for advice on ethical,
licit conduct but also as a complement to any matter
related to integrity, including support from the
departments in charge of legal, tax, accounting, risk,
human resource and compliance matters. At Focus-
Abengoa, we also have use of Abengoa’s grievance
channel for both internal and external matters.
This mechanism includes the use of an anonymous
grievance box and questions on illicit or not very
ethical behaviours.
Fight against corruption
Todos los miembros de Focus-Abengoa, sin excepción,
reciben formación sobre el Código de Conducta de
la Fundación, incluyendo aquellas prácticas ilícitas
o fraudulentas que deben evitarse, especialmente en
materia de anticorrupción. Se incorpora, además, una
regulación especial para la aceptación de obsequios
por parte del Patronato, cuyos miembros, por otro
lado, no pueden aprovechar cualquier oportunidad
relacionada con la Fundación en beneficio propio o de
personas vinculadas.
1 According to the AEF, the Protectorate is a body charged
with facilitating the proper exercise of the Foundation’s right
and to ensuring the legality of its founding and operations. It is
regulated and supervised by the CNMV.
Focus-Abengoa
members show a
strong commitment
to ethics and solid
integrity
All the members of Focus-Abengoa, without
exception, receive training on the Foundation’s code
of conduct, including all illicit or fraudulent practices
that they should avoid, especially on anti-corruption
matters. This also includes a special regulation on
Board members accepting gifts, as its members cannot
take advantage of any opportunity related to the
Foundation for their own benefit of that of people
close to them.
The integrity of our Board and the professionals who
work at Focus-Abengoa requires diligence in the duty
to report on any deed related to their job or position
as representatives of the Foundation that might affect
the proper performance of their job and the image of
Focus-Abengoa. The segregated structure of functions
and the division power in the Foundation lowers the
risk that any fraudulent practices may occur.
The internal risk management system enables us to
evaluate these activities every year, and no significant
event has been reported during financial year 2013.

20 | Dialogue with stakeholders Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Dialogue with stakeholders
G4-24, G4-25, G4-26, G4-27
The majority of
our stakeholders
have participated
in drawing up this
report through
their evaluations
and statements Our ongoing dialogue
The importance of our stakeholders
As a non-profit organisation, and given the sociocultural mission we promote, communication with our
stakeholders must be fluid and continuous in order to identify, analyse and cover the needs of the societies in
which we operate.
The dialogue strategy has been spearheaded by the
Board and by Abengoa since 2009 through a long-term
vision that both identifies the main stakeholders and
determines the most relevant issues to them.
Generally speaking, Focus-Abengoa’s stakeholders
judge based on the approach to the action being
performed, which can change according to the
activities planned. In any event, the main stakeholders
are Abengoa and the communities where we operate,
always bearing in mind the areas of science, humanities
and technology.
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation works constantly
with the majority of its stakeholders, especially during
the activities it holds, in which the main matters of
interest to them are considered, usually linked to
the social impact of the activities, innovation and
the development of new technologies. We at the
Foundation can assure that in this financial year no key
problems were identified with any of our stakeholders.
At Focus-Abengoa, we are keenly aware of our

21 | Informational transparency Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Informational
transparency
At the vanguard of dissemination
Informational transparency is a crucial aspect of
non-profit organisations with social missions, and this
includes Focus-Abengoa. For this reason, we strive to
be transparent in all our activities and we pay close
attention to the clarity, timeliness and accuracy of all
the information we provide.
Comprehensive,
constant information on
our activities
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation fulfils its commitment
to informational transparency by declaring its
founding purpose and constantly disseminating its
activities diligently and rigorously.
One crucial aspect is our duty to divulge all the details
related to scholarships and grants, which we try to
do periodically in great enough detail. What is more,
the Focus-Abengoa Foundation makes a telephone
information line and its online mailbox available to the
beneficiaries of these scholarships and grants so it can
The Foundation’s online portal
In 2013, we revamped our online portal to make it
easier to access our information.
The portal is our main channel of communication
with society, and it is the window through which we
reveal all the activities we are conducting around the
world.
This medium enables us to make all our collections
available to society, which leads to a greater
promotion of culture and research worldwide.
Plus, all the Foundation’s latest news can be tracked
online in the different social media.
To follow the Foundation’s day-to-day activities on
Twitter:

will enable us to improve the way we disseminate the
information.
Focus-Abengoa further demonstrates its commitment
to financial transparency by publishing all its annual
financial activities in our annual reports and the
Foundation’s online portal. We also exhaustively
monitor our financial results through external audits,
using a selection process that is transparent, efficient
and equitable.
Finally, our responsibility for informational
transparency is completed with the Board’s obligation
to draw up an annual monitoring report on the degree
of compliance of the overall governance system
in which it specifically reports on the applicable
transactions made and particularly on the selection
and investment management systems.

Summary of 2013
Social
Development

Our parent company, Abengoa, pledges to fulfil all
of its functions and responsibilities with society. For
this reason, Focus-Abengoa participates actively in
promoting shared values through investment in social
programmes. Abengoa’s early social-community efforts
since the 1940s were transferred to its Foundation
and seek to balance economic, social and cultural
development in the countries where Abenogoa
operations.
Most Abengoa companies perform a variety of
corporate social responsibility actions which
contribute to locally rooting the company in the
communities where it operates. We would like to
highlight Abengoa’s ongoing collaboration with the
San Rafael (Dos Hermanas, Seville) and La Milagrosa
(San Roque, Cádiz) senior citizen homes.

Presence in Spain, India, Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Peru and Mexico
The PEyC programme came to
Spain in 2013
Since 2005, this has mainly been channelled through
our People, Education and Communities (PEyC)
programme, which spearheads the integration of
vulnerable groups through education. This programme
got started in Argentina thanks to Abengoa’s ties with
the Hermanas de la Cruz congregation, and today it
has spread to seven countries – Peru, Brazil, Mexico,
Chile, India and Spain – and 22 sites. Its flexibility and
capacity for adaptation, without losing the essence
that characterises it, make it possible to implement this
programme as an engine of social-community projects
associated with Catholic organisations around the
world.
The PEyC programme is targeted at the most
vulnerable groups (the disabled, the elderly,
indigenous peoples, women experiencing violence,
migrants, pregnant women, young children whose basic
needs are unmet or who are experiencing abuse, the
illiterate), and its main goal is their social inclusion.
The more than 300 people working in this programme
are joined by a group of volunteers from society to
whom we particularly grateful for their work and for
sharing their time, abilities and socially conscious
values by helping and enthusiastically performing the
different jobs: healthcare, social services, engineering,
social agents, religion, administration, IT, etc.
And all of this is joined by the volunteer efforts of
Abengoa employees. In 2013, Abengoa employees
donated 3,194 volunteer hours to the PEyC through
two kinds of programmes:
__ The corporate volunteer calendar (CVC), which
lists the different activities in which Abengoa
employees working in countries where PEyC
centres exist can participate.
__ International corporate volunteers, in which each
employee can help the different PEyC centres
regardless of where they work through the
following ways: charity vacations, donations in kind
and monetary donations.
The most important new development of 2013 was the
implementation of the PEyC programme in Spain for
the first time, in the Torreblanca barrio of Seville, and
the construction of the sports facility in the community
of Manchay (Peru).

Main activities in 2013
PEyC in the Torreblanca barrio (Seville)
The PEyC social development programme began in Seville in December 2012 with a social
diagnosis of the barrio of Torreblanca de los Caños, chosen to be the recipient of the action
with the support and partnership of the Hermanas de la Cruz, located in the barrio since
the 1970s. Today the congregation works with both minors and adults in different areas. The
programme is currently being fully implemented.
The main beneficiaries of the PEyC Seville are children, adolescents, young adults, the elderly,
women and adults from the Torreblanca barrio. The main parties involved are the Hermanas
de la Cruz, who are working by advising the project’s technicians and channelling potential
beneficiaries of this social action. On the other hand, schools, associations, foundations and
delegations from Seville Town Hall are also taking part in this programme.
Areas of intervention:
__ Education and sports
__ Job training
__ Social protection and health
The Foundation’s relationship with the Hermanas de la Cruz in Seville and with the other
institutions in the barrio is cordial and fluid. The restoration of the site that houses the project
and its activities also got underway in 2013.
For the future, the Foundation plants to root the project in Seville by making its headquarters
a place of reference for PEyC activities and the epicentre of action by boosting the number of
activities and beneficiary groups.
“The sociocultural workshop in this programme
offers a wide variety of activities like singing,
dancing and theatre for both children and adults”
“Thanks to the PEyC, I have earned my
secondary school degree and am getting advice on
my job hunt”
“With the help of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation,
our children are not on the street and are learning
new things, reinforcing their school learning”
Rosario Martín Nieto
Beneficiary

Sports facility in Peru
Since 2009, the PEyC social programme has been present in the community of Manchay–Pachacamac in Peru with the
Hermanas Josefinas de la Caridad congregation and the parish of Manchay, where theatre workshops are also held for
disabled young adults and adolescents.
Through its Foundation, in 2013 Abengoa has financed the construction of the sports facility of the city of Manchay,
which has a track, a multipurpose court and bleachers seating up to 1,000 spectators, in addition to vending points and
administrative offices.
This initiative is completed with the launch of a program to promote participation in sports and cultural activities by
adolescents and young adults at risk of social exclusion.
The sports facility also promotes entrepreneurship and fosters social inclusion through job insertion with an efficient,
sustainable business model. The vending points in the facility will be used to commercialise the products that the
youngsters craft in the bread/dessert-making and crafts workshops that the PEyC holds in conjunction with the
Espíritu Santo parish. Finally, the facilities also host a theatre workshop and a space for handicapped-accessible sports
on the track.
“This sports facilities is
a huge milestone for the
community, since we can
use it for social, cultural and
sports activities and get many
benefits with few resources”
“Focus-Abengoa’s work is
exceptional. This programme
not only brings material
resources but also helps us
to manage and train our
children and the disabled”
“Thanks to this sports facility,
young people can enjoy
alternative social integration
activities”

community

Argentina
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation performs its social
development actions in Argentina through the Santa
Ángela Foundation and the Hermanas de la Cruz
congregation, a religious organisation with Sevillian roots
founded by Saint Angela of the Cross which has been
working in this country non-stop for almost 38 years.
Its social collaboration with the congregation primarily
revolves around the groups that live in vulnerable
circumstances and that can therefore not progress
normally and access better living conditions. These
groups include:
__ The disabled
__ Children and teens in situations of social risk
__ Young women who never finished their schooling
__ Poor or indigent families in situations of social risk
The partnership with the Hermanas de la Cruz
congregation takes place in three different centres:
two in the province of Santiago del Estero — Quimilí
and Monte Quemado — and one in the province of
Tucumán — Tintina, where the Hermanas Franciscanas
congregation also works with the Foundation.
The action programme has three goals: to promote
equal opportunities, to ensure that minorities have
access to social and cultural opportunities, and to
promote the integration and social participation of
groups that face discrimination.
“Focus-Abengoa has changed
the lives of many people from
Alderetes who had no chances
to cover the basic needs that a
family has”.
“Thanks to this action,
we have learned that it is
possible to receive aid without
anyone expecting anything in
exchange.
Elizabeth del Carmen Morales

In recent years, especially in 2013, different projects
with the local communities have concluded and others
have been launched, such as the practice of pioneering
therapeutic formulas and the development of the
second edition of several programmes.
As a result of our continuous support, the number of
volunteers has risen, and more and more children who
are disabled or from lower social strata join in all of
these activities. Plus, the citizens’ awareness of gender
and disability problems has also risen.
Participation by the local communities in social,
sports, art, school and work activities, as well as in the
inclusive, free spaces offered by the congregation and
the Foundation, is increasingly numerous and more
active.

violence within their families. We also have
the help of the Hogar de Cristo (Jesuits).

28 | Research Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
Overview 2013
Research
Providing knowledge
To Focus-Abengoa, research is the key to knowledge
and one of the cornerstones of economic progress. In
this sense, we believe in research whose purpose is
to face the challenges of climate change and plan a
sustainable future. This is why we work with Abengoa
in its constant quest to develop new alternative
energies.
One of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation’s most
important commitments to society is to guide its
activities towards the dissemination of knowledge and
the promotion of research in matters related to culture
and history. Yet our commitment to research is also
increasingly emphasising technology.
At Focus-Abengoa, we have been organising
numerous internationally renowned research events
for ten years with the purpose of attracting the top
experts who solidify the scientific and educational
nature of our Forum on Energy and Climate Change.

* Along with investment in education.
“The School’s main contribution in 2013 was an increase in societal knowledge of
what climate change means and the risks it entails in the middle term”.
“In the future, Focus-Abengoa should continue focusing on this kind of activity in
the energy and new technologies sector”.
Josep Borrell Fontelles
Vice President of Focus-Abengoa, Director of the School
The most noteworthy aspect of 2013 was the advances
made in the School of Energy and Climate Change,
with 140 participants this year. Also this year, a general
consensus was reached on the increasing need for
international institutions to provide a committed
response to the problems derived from climate change.
At Focus-Abengoa, we believe that research is needed
for there to be innovation. Our Foundation serves
as a place to exchange knowledge and as an ideas
laboratory to find innovative solutions that can be
transferred to Abengoa’s business and, ultimately,
society as a whole.

The School of Energy and Climate Change
“The global governance of climate change”
Our Foundation contributes to the debate on the change in the energy
model tackled by Abengoa from a multidisciplinary perspective. Our goal
is to address both the technological and economic conditioning factors of
taking advantage of clean energy sources, such as institutional and political
mechanisms that converge via the needs of users and producers while
remaining compatible with the sustainable energy model.
The School is held under the umbrella of the Focus-Abengoa Forum
on Energy and Climate Change, making it the crossroads of the legal,
technical and economic aspects that converge in the complex issue of the
global fight against climate change. The School sets out to analyse issues
like the following:
__ The latest developments in negotiations on climate change
__ Progress in the institutions responsible for the “governance” of climate
change
__ Problems of equitability in sharing the burden of lowering emissions
__ Lessons from the experience of the price-setting mechanisms in CO2
emissions, especially the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
and its interaction with the mechanisms to support renewable energies
We at Focus-Abengoa believe that overall the 2013 School was
satisfactory. Even though it is quite a sweeping question in a highly
changeable world, gradual consensus has been reached on the need for
greater governance and greater social support worldwide in order to
continue making headway in the fight against climate change.
What is more, as part of the debate held in the last edition (2012), issues
were discussed related to the current weakness of the global governance
instruments, the lack of efficacy in managing the international emissions
markets to date and the crucial role of renewable energies in combatting
global warming and avoiding a temperature increase of more than two
degrees Centigrade.

World Biofuels Conference
This initiative is part of the activities performed by the School of Energy
and Climate Change to contribute to the debate on the change in the
energy model from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Last May, the Focus-Abengoa and F.O. Licht1 officially opened the
12th edition of the World Biofuels Conference at the Hospital de Los
Venerables. Today it is one of the benchmark forums among experts in the
biofuels and biodiesel sectors in the leading markets around the world.
As a company Abengoa, has been working for years to develop a solution
that will simultaneously resolve efficient waste management and produce
energy sustainably.
In line with this goal, Focus-Abengoa continues to provide a true open
tribunal for where ideas and results can be researched, shared and
compared through any public debates which are deemed relevant.
The most illustrious guests included Juan Ignacio Zoido, Mayor of Seville;
Manuel Sánchez Ortega, Managing Director of Abengoa; Javier Garóz
Neira, President of Abengoa Bioenergía; and Christoph Berg, Executive
Director of F.O. Licht.

World Biofuels Conference
reflects Focus-Abengoa’s
commitment to the city of
Seville”.
“Focus-Abengoa does
everything within its means
to ensure the success of the
Conference. In all these
years, the comments on the
Foundation’s efforts have only
been positive”.

4th Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez International Prize. Baroque Art
In 2013, the Focus-Abengoa Foundation issued a call for participation in the 4th International Prize of Baroque
Art in honour of Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez (1935-2010), an exceptional historian of Spanish and Italian Baroque
art, university professor, director of the Museo Nacional del Prado and artistic advisor of the Focus-Abengoa
Foundation since the 1990s.
With this prize, the Foundation aims to encourage study and research into Spanish Baroque art and its influence
in Europe and the Americas. The requirements for a study to be submitted to this competition are: it must be an
original, unpublished work; it must have been conducted either individually or in a team; and it must have not
received any other award or be committed for publication.
In the 2013 edition, the award-winning study was Art and Science in Baroque Spain: Natural History, Collecting
and Visual Culture by José Ramón Marcaida López. The prize was awarded because of the study’s innovative
contribution to the history of Baroque art using an interdisciplinary perspective. The study examines artistic
creation and pursues a provocative line of inquiry by art historians.
Composition of the jury:
Aurora Egido Martínez, Marcello
Fagiolo, Karin Hellwig, Ronda
Kasl, Manuela B. Mena Marqués,
Benito Navarrete Prieto, Jesús
Urrea Fernández y Anabel Morillo
León (president of the jury).
“When I decided to submit my study for the prize,
I became interested in the Foundation’s activities
and I was particularly struck not only by the
quality but also the variety of research aid it offers:
from prizes for doctoral thesis and creative artistic
projects to distinctions for scientific-technological
and business practices. From the standpoint of
sponsorship, this support is quite extensive.”
“The prize is recognition of the value of
interdisciplinary research given that, in my case,
the Focus-Abengoa Foundation has supported
a study that is concerned with the intersections
among different disciplines, especially art history
and the history of science.”
“This prize was a huge impetus for my career and
is going to allow me to keep developing projects
and research. I am going to allocate the prize
money to furthering my research.”

33 | Artistic heritage Focus-Abengoa Foundation | 2013 annual report
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation emerged around
the artistic and cultural heritage, and it gains ground
year after year with new works and exhibitions.
Our alliances enable us to fulfil our commitment to
conserve and disseminate Seville’s historical legacy.
The year 2013 has been satisfactory in terms of our
artistic heritage actions. The budget was increased 22 %
over 2012, which enabled us to better develop our artistic
and cultural activities.
In 2013, we have continued to prepare the Alfonso
E. Pérez Sánchez Legacy, the second year since the
start of our commitment to manage and consolidate
this important artistic and cultural legacy. The total
investment in the project is € 925,000, the amount
planned for its entire five-year period which will
enable us to expand our human team and the
conservation and security conditions that these kinds
of collections require.
The Antonio López exhibition in Japan, to which
we lent the painting The Quince Tree, signed by the
artist, helped to enshrine our presence in the Land
of the Rising Sun during the Dual Spain-Japan Year.
The Foundation’s international presence was also
boosted with the stops of the travelling exhibition
entitled “Murillo and Justino de Neve” organised
jointly with the Museo Nacional del Prado from
October 2012 to January 2013. This exhibition was
also shown at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London.
What is more, thanks to the co-organisation of this
exhibition, the Foundation enjoyed the return of
Murillo’s Immaculate Conception to the Hospital de
los Venerables, exhibited in its original altarpiece and
frame.

Nur exhibition
One of the major milestones of 2013 was the opening
to the public of the exhibition “Nur: Light in the
Art and Science of Islamic World”, which enabled
Abengoa, as a world benchmark in the development of
sustainable energies, to explore the use and meaning of
light as a unifying motif in Islamic civilisation.
With this show, the Focus-Abengoa Foundation
premiered an important travelling exhibition of
Islamic art and culture which encompasses more than
ten centuries of history and includes works of art and
secular objects from the entire Islamic world, from
Spain to Central Asia. The legacy of Al-Andalus is also
present.
Directed and curated by Dr Sabiha Al Khemir, an
expert in Islamic art and culture, the exhibition includes
more than 150 objects lent by public and private
collections. The majority of the objects had never left
their home countries or been exhibited before.
Taking its name from the word nur, which means
light in Arabic alluding to both the physical and the
metaphysical, the exhibition “Nur” is thematically
organised into two main sections:
__ A section devoted to art, which includes manuscripts
illuminated with gilding and coloured pigments,
lustre ceramics, metal works inlaid with silver
and gold, and pieces wrought of precious and
semiprecious stones.
An art collection with more
than 150 works of art from
22 countries
“The exhibition aims to strengthen Abengoa’s
international relations through its Foundation,
generating an artistic and scientific initiative with
broad international outreach” .
The concept of Nur is expressed from the very
outset of the exhibition with views of these pieces
decorated by rays of light which convey the
concept of light” .
Doctora Sabiha Al Khemir
Director of the exhibition
“The exhibition ‘Nur’ marks a huge turning point
for the cultural history of the city of Dallas and
the Dallas Museum of Art” .
“We hope that ‘Nur’ sparks a local dialogue on
the history and art of the Islamic world, opening
the gateway to greater knowledge of other cultures
and different perspectives” .
“From the start, we at the Dallas Museum of Art
have been very grateful for the professionalism of
Focus-Abengoa and our warm relations with the
Foundation” .
Max Anderson
Director of the Dallas Museum of Art
__ A section devoted to science, which features
solar equatorial clocks, astrolabes and anatomical
instruments, all of them illustrative of the influence
of the Islamic world on scientific thinking.
The map showing the provenance of more than
150 works of art spreads to 22 countries, including
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
Armenia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, India and
Malaysia. To accompany the presence of Abengoa in
the USA, the exhibition is in Texas from March 2014
and will be displayed at the Dallas Museum of Art
until June.

The Legacy: Cataloguing and
Photography Collection
Our pledge to the heirs of Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez
is to conserve, study, catalogue and disseminate
all four sections within the Legacy: the library, the
photography collection, the personal archive and the
collection of works of art.
The main purpose is to make this important collection
of art and documents available to whoever is
interested in studying and researching art history in
particular, and anyone interested in art and culture in
general.
The Legacy marks the
Foundation’s consolidation as
a benchmark centre in the study
of the Baroque
What is more, the Legacy will contribute to turning the
Focus-Abengoa Foundation into a benchmark centre
for studying and disseminating the Baroque which will
help to consolidate the projection of its heritage.
For this reason, we want to lay the groundwork for
future projects aimed at studying and disseminating
the life and work of Professor Alfonso E. Pérez
Sánchez in order to fulfil the agreement established
between the Foundation and his legal heirs.
At Focus-Abengoa, we believe that launching this
initiative will not only increase the value of the
Foundation’s heritage but will also considerably boost
its potential as an institution committed to cultural
and scientific progress. What is more, it will strengthen
our involvement in the development of research, thus
complementing our exhibitions and publications and
expanding the resources made available to society.
With the Legacy, the
library will quadruple its
bibliographic collection, and
once its contents have been
catalogued and published in
our database, the photography
collection, one of the most
important of its kind in Spain,
with 60,000 photographic
units in its possession, will become an essential
instrument for studying Baroque art.

“We want to make
this legacy accessible
to all researchers
and anyone
interested”
Likewise, the collection of works of art (including
paintings, sculptures, drawings and engravings) is
made up of pieces of historical and artistic interest. Its
timespan ranges from the 15th to the 21st centuries
and it contains a total of 237 works.
In short, this entire legacy will enable us to boost the

Other artistic
heritage activities
Library of the Baroque and
Room of Engravings
The Library of the Baroque is the outcome of more
than three decades of initiatives undertaken by
the Focus-Abengoa Foundation on the topic of the
Baroque in all its facets, primarily artistic, cultural,
literary and historical. It was created in 1982, when our
Foundation’s early activities were aimed at forming a
library and room of engravings with views of the city
of Seville, as well as holding unique exhibitions on
Baroque painting.
These initiatives were joined by a broad range of
products, which has enabled the Library’s collection to
grow and further specialise. After the creation of the
Centro Velázquez, the Library has become a reference
serving studies and research into the Baroque as a
whole. Since 2011, the Library has been a member of
the collective catalogue of the Idea Network, part of
the Regional Ministry of Culture of the government of
Andalusia.
Today the library is located in the former Hospital
de los Venerables Sacerdotes, the headquarters
of the Foundation, and it is organised into several
thematically distinct collections:
After adding the
Alfonso E. Pérez
Sánchez, the collections
of the Library of the
Baroque now total more
than 37,000 volumes.
__ General Collection: This is the organisational matrix
through which all the bibliographic collections and
acquisitions made by the Foundation are recorded.
__ Sevillian Topics Collection: This is the core of books
that gave rise to the Library and includes around six
thousand volumes from the 19th to 21st centuries.
__ Library of the Baroque of the Centro Velázquez:
Because of its content, this is a highly specialised
library meant for research.
__ Alfonso E. Pérez-Sánchez Legacy: This is the legacy
containing the library, photography collection and
personal archive of Alfonso Emilio Pérez Sánchez.
__ Room of Engravings: This is a collection of
around three hundred prints from the 16th to 20th
centuries.
__ Old Book and Manuscript Collection: This
collection has around four hundred books printed
between the 14th and 19th centuries, until 1830,
most of them related to the history and art of
Seville.
In addition to the Library of the Baroque, both the
artistic heritage of the different collections (Hospital
de los Venerables, Centro Velázquez, Contemporary
Art) and the Baroque music concerts – featuring the
prized organ of the Hospital de los Venerables—
and the University School of the Baroque are other
enriching sources within this sociocultural avenue of
action promoted by the Focus-Abengoa Foundation.

The School of the Baroque
During the month of November 2013, the Hospital
de Los Venerables hosted yet another edition of the
School of the Baroque, this time directed by Fernando
García Gutiérrez, J. S., given his in-depth knowledge of
Japanese history and culture.
The 2013 School of the Baroque stressed the
importance of our multicultural world today and
explained how cultural distances among different
parts of the world have been shortened, along with the
importance of assimilating the current cultural values
between East and West without impositions, as the
early Jesuits who reached Japan in the 16th century
did.
The tenth School of the Baroque dovetailed with
the temporary exhibition “Nur: Light in the Art and
Science of the Islamic World”, and the Foundation
opened its doors to anyone interested in all the
lectures scheduled throughout the three days of the
event until capacity was reached. What is more, all
the lectures were broadcast on the Focus-Abengoa
website.
In 2013, the
Foundation opened
the tenth edition
of the School of
the Baroque under
the title of “East
and West: Early
Globalisation in the
Baroque Times”
The Foundation awarded 20 grants to the students
registered and reserved some places for people
over the age of 65

Musical activities
Since it got underway in 1991,
the Focus-Abengoa Foundation’s
musical programming, which
revolves around the grand
Grenzing organ in the church of
the Hospital de los Venerables,
has been based on four events:
First, the Foundation offers Didactic
Recitals throughout the academic year
targeted at adolescents in the schools of
Seville and its province. At these recitals,
the students are told how this complex
instruments works and they are then offered
an organ recital.
Secondly, the Foundation organises its
Organ Recital Series to Promote Young
Organists, where the concerts feature
Spanish organists who have completed
their higher studies in organ music with an
extraordinary end of degree prize. These
concerts are broadcast by Radio Clásica
(RNE) and their goal is to showcase and
promote these musicians.
The intensive Master Course on organ
performance brings the greatest organists in
Europe to the Hospital de los Venerables.
This course is targeted at Spanish organists
who wish to further their studies with the
help of the top European masters.
Finally, the Master Concert Series comes in
two rounds, one in February and the other
in May, and for these performances the
Foundation brings the best organists in the
world today to showcase them to the public
at large.

Education
Raising awareness
To Focus-Abengoa, education is the key
to human development, and this is why its
educational initiatives seek to foster the
progress of society. The main beneficiaries
of its activities are the different groups of
schoolchildren, university students, scholars,
experts, cultural groups and anyone interested
in the dissemination and projection of
knowledge both in the city of Seville and
beyond its borders.
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation is grateful
for the efforts of the juries of the different
prizes it awards, who are asked to contribute
through their efforts and commitment. Each
of them spends his or her time assessing
the participants’ submissions with no
remuneration.
In 2013, the 4th Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez
International Prize of Baroque Art was even
more warmly welcomed by its participants as
shown by the number (twenty all together) and
quality of the submissions.
Among the year’s other educational activities
in addition to the School of the Baroque and
the School of Energy, the Focus-Abengoa
Foundation has regularly held workshop-tours,
guided tours, family tours and didactic recitals
at the Hospital de los Venerables. Before these
tours, the Foundation’s online platform offers
participants all the teaching materials needed
so they can acquire prior knowledge and
familiarise themselves with the works. This also
fosters an interest in the culture and heritage of
the city of Seville. Finally, the Focus-Abengoa
Campus is still the meeting point created by the
Foundation to offer training that encompasses
history, landscape, archaeology, technology and
environment. It is located near the Guadiamar
Green Corridor in Sanlúcar la Mayor (Seville).

The art of friendship
For the first time, the Foundation offered a specific educational programme for a temporary exhibition entitled
“Murillo and Justino de Neve: The Art of Friendship”. For this show, an interactive educational programme was
developed for the three entities organising the exhibition: the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Dulwich Picture
Gallery (London) and the Foundation.
As a complement to this activity, four different kinds of tours were developed: workshop-tours, guided tours,
family tours and a specific programme of guided tours for Abengoa employees and their families.
This educational programme was disseminated broadly both inside and outside the Foundation, and many groups
of Abengoa employees visited the exhibition at weekends and participated in some of the activities designed for
their families and children.
The interactive educational programme designed for the occasion on the Foundation’s online platform provided a
list of the activities scheduled with the works in the exhibition, which enabled visitors to acquire knowledge prior
to their tours and even further their knowledge afterward.
A children’s
publication was
developed for this
exhibition: Miaurillo
and Justino de Neve:
The Story of a
Friendship.

con más reputación de la ciudad.

Justino encargó para decorar las calles.
Además, muchos sevillanos expusieron
también sus mejores cuadros.

Other educational activities
Volunteer programme
The Focus-Abengoa Foundation has a specific
programme to promote volunteerism through the
numerous educational activities we organise. Our
volunteer programme is targeted at young university
students and graduates who want to participate as
guides in the different kinds of cultural tours organised
at Hospital de Los Venerables.
To do this, the Foundation establishes a temporary
working relationship with young students from
the University of Seville in their last years of their
Bachelor’s degrees or who have recently graduated
and are interested in having initial contact with or
experience in the working world.
In this programme, we provide prior training to
volunteers, where they are given the materials and
knowledge needed to host the guided tours, including
the Foundation’s rules of conduct and a course on
preventing occupational risks in conjunction with
Abengoa’s Department of Occupational Risks.
Participation in the volunteer programme lasts ten
months, from September to June, thus matching the
academic calendar. After this period, the Foundation
gives its volunteers a certificate to acknowledge the
sociocultural work they have performed on behalf of
Focus-Abengoa.
What is more, this initiative also has a special
volunteer programme for individuals over the age of
65 who wish to spend part of their part time promoting
and disseminating the history and artistic heritage of
the city of Seville. This programme is promoted and
coordinated by the Spanish Association of Senior
Citizen Learning.
“Focus-Abengoa’s commitment to its volunteers
is total, the means available are unique and the
experience is unforgettable”.
Celia Acosta

“Each tour was the chance to share the history of
Seville and learn something new”.

Abengoa, the company that gave rise to the Foundation, articulates part of the attention it pays to
its employees through this programme and channels some of the services targeted at developing an
efficient, committed organisation. The social action projects for employees make for a more flexible,
effective workplace and facilitate workers’ identification with the corporate project, contributing to
better prepare them for future challenges.
During 2013, we have continued to fulfil our mission of developing new sociocultural activities for
Abengoa employees and have awarded more prizes:
__ Two to five prizes for compulsory secondary education
__ Two to four prizes for baccalaureate
__ Four to eight prizes for completing university studies
__ Two prizes for furthering studies for students in higher level vocational training programmes
__ Four to twenty prizes for professional advancement
Likewise, the PEyC programme (People, Education and Culture) enables Abengoa employees to
volunteer wherever the Foundation performs its social development activities. This corporate social
volunteer work was possible for the first time in Spain during financial year 2013 thanks to the
development of the PEyC in the Torreblanca barrio of Seville.

“Vuela” programme
The “Vuela” programme offers an initial international professional experience targeted at the children of
Abengoa employees which enables them to get to know another country and culture through its grants.
The main goal of the “Vuela” programme is for the children of Abengoa employees to get to know the company
where their parents work and to learn more about it through real work experience. These practices last one
month, and in order for them to be more culturally enriching, they must be done in a country other than the one
where the awardees have studied.
The company in which the parent of the beneficiary works covers the cost of the awardee’s transport from their
home country to the host country and also grants a monetary stipend of between € 1,000 and € 2,000 per month,
depending on the cost of living in the host country, for accommodation and meals during the period of the grant.
“Being a mentor in this programme is a privilege,
and being able to guide and inspire the child of a
colleague is also added motivation”.

“25 years at Abengoa” ceremony
Every year, the Focus-Abengoa Foundation celebrates
a formal awards ceremony for employees who have
reached their 25th anniversary with the company
during that year.
With this tribute, the company, through its president
Felipe Benjumea Llorente, recognises the effort and
expresses its gratitude for the employees’ sacrifice and
dedication to the company during their 25 years on staff.
Abengoa University
In the past 5 years…
More than 100 managers trained in MBA programmes.
More than 250 managers trained in the project
management programme.
More than 150 managers trained in the project head
programme.
More than 1,000 professionals trained in the executive
skills programme.
Aware that organisations have to increase the
potential of their human capital through training,
continuous education and personal development, at
Focus-Abengoa we have contributed to the growth of
Abengoa professionals at all levels of the organisation
for more than five years.
In order to achieve this goal, the Foundation forges
alliances with some of the top educational institutions
in the world which meet our requirements for
quality in education because of their prestige and
international outreach and the reputation of their
instructors. One example is the Loyola Leadership
School, our strategic partner in high-level training.
Visits and concerts
Our employees may also enjoy free tours of the
Hospital de los Venerables, the permanent collection
at the Centro Velázquez and the temporary exhibitions.
Plus they can enjoy discounts on the organ concerts
and publications and other items in the Hospital de
Los Venerables shop.

Along with its artistic and cultural heritage, the team of professionals
at Focus-Abengoa is the Foundation’s biggest asset. The involvement
of the Board, the president and the Foundation’s other advisors is an
essential, invaluable complement to the efforts of our professionals. Thus,
the commitment and professionalism of our human capital enables our
founder’s dream to remain valid today, and this is one of the keys to
achieving our original mission.
At Focus-Abengoa, we are committed to developing the wellbeing of
our team so that they can carry out their responsibilities in an efficient,
satisfactory way. In 2013, we have continued to develop the social benefits
offered to all our employees, primarily in the following ways:
__ Aid and prizes for studying.
__ Capital improvements in life and accident insurance policies and in
specialised medical services.
__ Tracking of problematic cases of employees by Abengoa’s social action
__ Cheques for restaurants, day cares and gyms and free transport.
__ Summer residence in La Antilla.

One new hire
in 2013
Our staff is made up of nine workers, five of whom have permanent
contracts and four of whom are temporary. In 2013, we made one new hire
and took on three professionals as temporary interns, making for a total
number of 12 people working here, all in the Hospital de los Venerables.
On the other hand, no employees left the company in 2013, so the staff
turnover rate was zero. Nor were there any maternity or paternity leaves,
even though this is an established right whose hours can be added to those
allowed for nursing leave.
As a complement to the efforts of the Foundation’s team, at Focus-Abengoa
we have a large international network of partners along with the exceptional
help of our volunteers, so our sociocultural actions can be held completely
and efficiently wherever the Foundation operates.

Training and development
In order to keep a highly qualified professional team, we actively
encourage our employees to develop their skills in line with Abengoa’s
corporate culture and the best practices on the market. In 2013, a total
of 3,481 hours of training were delivered to all our employees in all their
different professional categories.
Satisfaction and dialogue with
employees
At Focus-Abengoa, we have an annual climate survey to measure our
professionals’ degree of satisfaction. What is more, our employees have
direct access to the general manager to share their complaints and
suggestions.
Balancing work and family
Our Foundation is aware of the need to have a pleasant working climate
for our employees. For this reason, we firmly believe in the importance
balancing professional and personal lives, and this takes shape in the
following initiatives:
__ Mobility and telecommuting: We improve the accessibility of online IT
applications to increase the efficiency of processes.
__ Flextime: We offer different alternatives in the work calendar regarding
the beginning and end of the workday and lunch hours.
__ Social assistance for employees: We offer our employees the possibility
of consulting, asking questions and requesting help with family, medical,
social or economic problems. What is more, through the Human
Resources Department, the Foundation has a social fund to help its
employees in times of dire need.
__ Medical services: The Foundation has an emergency medical service
available all workday long, plus office hours and medical check-ups
following a specific health maintenance programme.
Employee performance
evaluation, remuneration and
compensation
At Focus-Abengoa, we remunerate our employees according to their
value and experience. Because of the job she holds, our General Manager
is the only person with variable remuneration, and she earns the highest
salary at the Foundation. In 2013, the relationship between the General
Manager’s salary (including the variable portion) and the average salary of
the other employees was 4.66 to 1. However, while the General Manager’s
remuneration remained unchanged in 2013, the average salary of the other
employees rose 0.07 %.
Company-worker relations
One hundred percent of our employees are covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The Focus-Abengoa Foundation guarantees that
all workers will be informed of any structural or organisational change at
least 30 days in advance as a basic labour right.

Diversity and equal
opportunities
A constant focus on diversity and equal
opportunities
Diversity is one of the Focus-Abengoa Foundation’s values. This is why it
respects the equal opportunity of all its members and employees.
Below are the 2013 figures on diversity and equal opportunities:
__ A Board which is 13.6 % female, in which 100 % of its members are
over the age of 50.
__ The Foundation’s staff is made up of 66 % women, and the average age
of our employees is:
56 %
between 30 and 50
11 %
under the age of 30
33 %
over the age of 50

Safety and health
A safe, healthy environment
The safety and health policies implemented in Focus-
Abengoa are an extension of the same policies
implemented by Abengoa.
The Foundation currently has a safety and health
committee, but it is affiliated with Abengoa’s Pooled
Prevention Service, which makes the following possible:
__ To perform quarterly follow-ups on prevention
with the management, the two prevention agents,
the technician and the head of Abengoa’s Pooled
Prevention Service.
__ To benefit from training and information
programmes on this topic with the purpose of
improving safety and preserving the health of all
our workers.
In 2013, Focus-Abengoa workers only had common
illnesses, and the work absenteeism rate was just
0.63 %. One hundred percent of the leaves were for
women, and there were no accidents with outsourcers.
Improvement of the process
of reviewing outsourcers
Implementation of the Prisma
system for maintenance workers
Training of volunteers
on safety and health matters
Our culture of prevention is based on constant
improvement of our workers’ safety conditions in an
effort to reduce occupational accidents and work-related
illnesses. The success of this commitment can
be seen by occupational accident rate, which has been
0 % since 2007.
Focus-Abengoa has an internal system to record and
report accidents:
__ Reporting accidents with and without leaves of
absence from work via Abengoa’s occupational risk
prevention technician and the administrative staff
member of the insurance company.
__ The accidents with and without leaves of absence
from work are recorded by the administrative
department of the company Gestión Integral
de Recursos Humanos (GIRH), which informs
the corresponding insurance company of any
occupational accidents through the Plan Delta
electronic declaration system, a system approved
by order TAS/2926/2002, which makes electronic
notification of occupational accidents possible.
The training that the Foundation provides on safety
and health is another of the keys to our success. We
train our employees according to the risk assessment
of each job, and we additionally provide in-person
training in putting out fires and first aid as part of the
emergency plan both at the Foundation’s headquarters
and at the Focus-Abengoa Campus.
At the Campus, which is headquartered in the
Casa Quemada estate, a variety of educational
programmes are held for Abengoa employee. The
main purpose of these programmes is to educate on
the history, landscape, archaeology, technology and
the environment. This includes an exhibition on the
relationship between the historical and environmental
elements in the zone, the Solúcar platform, the
different sources of energy and changes in the
landscape throughout history.
There are no workers on our staff who perform jobs
which entail the risk of developing illnesses.

Responsible economic
management
The Foundation’s mission is not to create wealth
but to promote and disseminate culture and social
development, so efficient and responsible management
of our resources is essential to fulfilling our mission.
Focus-Abengoa had positive financial results in 2013 in
line with the responsible, efficient management of our
resources.
Due to the sociocultural role played by the Focus-
Abengoa Foundation, in 2013 no risks or opportunities
derived from climate change were detected.
In 2013, there were no major changes in the
Foundation’s supply chain. We have kept up our
customary relationships with our 20 suppliers, mainly
contractors and wholesalers from Seville and its
environs, who supply things like essential energy,
water, safety, cleaning, courier, gardening and facility
maintenance services.

Indirect
economic
consequences
At Focus-Abengoa we understand
that our social development
efforts affect people’s wellbeing
and quality of life. In conjunction
with Abengoa, the Foundation
participates actively in the
countries where it is present
via altruistic investments in
social programmes for the local
communities. In 2013, for example,
we took on the commitment to
invest 189,000 euros pro bono to
develop a thermosolar plant in
India.
The socioeconomic impacts
of the Foundation in the local
communities where it carries out
its mission are always positive.
Through our PEyC (People,
Education and Communities)
programme, we generate a
significant indirect socioeconomic
impact. In 2013, the efforts we
made in the Torreblanca barrio
of Seville meant savings for the
public treasury and a benefit for
the community.
What is more, a socioeconomic
study performed in 2012
demonstrated that the Hospital
de los Venerables generates
an indirect yet highly positive
economic impact on all the
commercial establishments located
near it thanks to the constant
influx of visitors.
