The abertis foundation is an organisation devoted since 1999 to backing and disseminating studies of the impact of major infrastructures on the regions, especially on the economy, population and environment, always in cooperation with universities and other academic institutions.

As one of the responses to the commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility by abertis, the premier group in Europe in transport and communications infrastructure management, the foundation also runs a broad Road Safety Programme, the aim of which is to raise public awareness of the need for responsible mobility.

The foundation has also inherited the sensitivity to historic and artistic heritage of the companies which now make up the abertis group. This is demonstrated in its work to preserve and promote heritage with the aim of bringing public to the widest possible audience.

The abertis foundation is headed by Miquel Roca has its headquarters at the castle of Castellet, near Barcelona.
