Looking back on the past and forward into the future, it is impossible to contemplate the growth of the Madrid region without considering Metro and everything it represents: a spectacular parallel transformation above and below ground and a nearly century-long tradition of regular metro use by both Madrid residents and visitors alike. In order for a company like Metro de Madrid to remain economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, it must constantly face challenges. For us, challenge means efficient management and holding ourselves to the highest standard of service to our users, all of which has made us a domestic and international reference for other companies. One of the best examples of the efforts to manage the company as efficiently as possible is the Energy Saving Plan, which has yielded the positive results that we are proud to present here today thanks to the implemen- tation of money-saving and energy-optimising technical measures. Generally speaking, since 2012 the Company has managed to reduce high voltage power usage by 22%, from 713 MkWh in 2012 to 582 MkWh in 2014. The energy we saved is equivalent to the amount of energy that all of the households in a city like Guadalajara would use in one year. Sustainable mobility is another area where the Company’s efforts have been focused. In 2014, we entered the pilot phase of the Train2Car Project with the presentation of the first Metrolinera in Spain. This R+D+i led by Metro de Madrid enables electric cars to recharge using the energy created by the trains’ braking systems. Once the usefulness of this project has been demonstrated, 10 Anual Report and CSR 2014 it will undergo further studies and testing before it is expanded to other areas in the future. As for the generation of revenue, successful business development initiatives were combined with the commencement of the Strategic Real Estate Plan in 2014, the main objective of which is to allocate more than 95,000 square metres of property in disuse owned by Metro and the Community of Madrid to residential and tertiary use and green space by filling gaps and burying depots in Madrid. These efforts are expected to bring in revenues of nearly 120 million euros. In 2014, two of the four planned transactions were completed, which consisted of a plot of land at calle Granada-Cavanilles and the Cuatro Caminos depot. Thanks to these operations, Metro will be moving its headquarters to Canillejas. The construction of a new building that is scheduled to be ready by for 2018 will allow us to integrate staff, take advantage of synergies, decrease productions costs and save on rental costs. One of the signs of recovery in the Community of Madrid is the uptick in passenger demand that was seen in 2014 for the first time since 2008. As a consequence, 21 secondary lobbies that had been closed since the summer of 2012 as a cost-saving measure to offset the decline in passenger demand and reduce fraud were reopened in 2014. In conclusion, it is important to note that as a result of the improvements made to the way in which the company is managed during these years which have been difficult for Metro de Madrid, transit fares did not increase in 2014, which is a first in the history of our Community. u 11 Anual Report 2014 Message from the CEO Ignacio González Velayos CEO Our Company celebrates its 95th anniversary this year. Today, we can proudly affirm that the three underlying objectives for which Metro de Madrid was created, that is to provide a “fast, comfortable and safe” transit system, remain intact. Over the last 95 years, Metro de Madrid has transformed the mobility of the entire region. Today, Metro de Madrid is a regional transit system that is present in 12 municipalities of the Community of Madrid. Once again this year, we have combined our Corporate Social Responsibility Report and Annual Report into a single document. This, the second integrated report that combines legal, economic and financial data with social and environmental, is yet another example of Metro de Madrid’s commitment to transparency and to reinforcing the company’s image as an organisation that is committed to its customers and has assumed the obligation to develop corporate responsibility policies and practices. As such, we have assumed the obli- gation to share the Company’s progress each year made in a sustainability report, as established in the United National World Compact which Metro de Madrid has signed. 2014 was characterised by the economic recovery. Following years of steady decline in demand, metro trips were up by more than 3 million in 2014, which resulted in a series of improvements to our services: all lobbies were reopened in December 2014, more trains were added to the schedule and the Metro Quality Plan was set in motion. I encourage you to learn, through this integrated report, about the projects, initiatives and actions we are taking to meet the challenges our Company faces, as well as our commitment to social and economic development and the protection of our environment. u 12 13 02 Board of Directors Board of Directors of Metro de Madrid, S.A.
