As stated in our Institutional Declaration, at Fundación Biodiversidad we consider the fight against fraud a key element in the management of European Structural Funds and we assume a zero tolerance policy.

Currently, the European Union has launched an unprecedented strategy aimed at repairing the damage caused by COVID19 and to transform the economy. This strategy is what we know as the European Recovery Plan, called Next Generation EU, which includes different grants, the most relevant amount corresponding to the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism.
In Spain, in order to plan and structure the actions to be developed within the framework of the mechanism, the Government has launched the Spain Can project, which is embodied in the document of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan for Spain. The Biodiversity Foundation participates in its implementation as executing entity and, in order to control the funds allocated to this Plan, approved on December 23, 2021, a specific Anti-Fraud Measures Plan, which includes a series of proactive, structured and specific actions to manage the risk of fraud.
