The figures, provided by Triton Digital’s Streaming Metrics Monthly Ranker, are testament to PRISA’s leadership as an audio producer.
With 1,200 podcasts, and partnerships with Podimo, Amazon Music, Audible, Spotify and Penguin Random House, PRISA Audiotops the weekly aggregator charts with podcasts such as Nadie sabe Nada, Estirando el Chicle and Hoy en El País.
The audio division's advertising revenue grew 43% over the previous year.
The plan links its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments with the company's business strategy to generate greater value and growth opportunities.
It is focused on three key commitments: the real and positive impact on people through education (Santillana) and news (Prisa Media); responsible management of employees, supply chain and the environment; and committed and transparent governance.
PRISA thus reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development as a driver of social and climate transformation, and to continue promoting equal opportunities and the progress of a democratic society.
