35 Future commitments and challenges A commitment to society and stakeholders, internal and external, is at the very core of all PRISA’s operations. From the very beginning, the Group has made every effort to perfect and reconceive all those aspects that might improve its products and how its companies perform. PRISA has demonstrated its commitment to quality, innovation, service and rigor as a guarantee for all its content. Testament to our commitment was the recognition Grupo PRISA received this year from the United Nations Global Compact. PRISA has been signed up to the Compact since 2008 and a member of the Global Compact Spanish Network since May 2013, presented in November 2010 its first Progress Report, a document in which adherents demonstrate their commitment to aligning their operations and strategies with the Ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, as outlined by Kofi Annan in 1999. PRISA’s companies were congratulated for the quality of the information supplied, the initiatives undertaken by the Company and the high level of implementation of corporate social responsibility policies. Every year since then, annual Progress Reports have been very positive. Meanwhile, since PRISA went public, the Group has adopted a permanent commitment to generate value for its shareholders, to grow as a company, to improve content, to maintain the optimum levels of quality and service in its products and to seek out and expand into new markets. PRISA has been recognized by investors as a company that upholds responsible business practices, which is why the company has been included since 2008 on the international index for corporate social responsibility, the FTSE4Good. FTSE4Good is a package of indices aimed at measuring the efforts of companies to meet globally recognized corporate responsibility standards. In June 2012, for the fourth year running, the Group received the index certification.
