Commitment

The very nature of PRISA’s business activity makes it an important contributor to the development of democratic and sustainable societies. The Group takes this responsibility seriously, not merely in how it manages and conducts its business, but also through all its content and activities, in order to thereby raise awareness, promote and disseminate knowledge.

PRISA’s relationship with its stakeholders is key to its exercise of responsibility. Hence, its sustainability strategy is developed and nurtured in constant dialogue with all stakeholders.

This strategy is structured across three areas: the creation and distribution of content, responsible management, and numerous social, cultural and environmental actions.

In each of these areas, PRISA contributes in one way or another to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a global initiative promoted by the United Nations (UN), within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. This initiative seeks to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and guarantee peace and prosperity for all people. The Agenda sets out 17 SDGs, which address issues ranging from hunger and food security to economic growth and climate change.

PRISA is aware of the fundamental role that all companies have in meeting the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
