For the ninth consecutive year the CAP Group has developed its sustainability report aimed at informing about its strategy, priorities and performance in the areas of greatest relevance for the sustainability of its operations.

This report was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative, in its G4 version and Essential option, including the Mining & Metals Sector supplement. It focuses on the topics of greatest relevance to the CAP Group and its stakeholders, determined by following the GRI-G4 guidelines.

The information that is presented deals with the management of the company during the year 2016. Also included are data from previous years in order to provide a broader context, as well as the main events occurring as of the date of publication of this document.
