Year in review PRISA, a global group Energy consumption During 2013, all Group companies have run campaigns to raise awareness and to foster a more rational use of energy at their facilities and to rationalize energy consumption. To this end it we are in contact with a number of energy efficiency consultants to analyze the effciency of the range of systems that currently exist in the market. PRISA TV has continued to apply environmental measures to control energy consumption and optimize on costs of paper and corporate digital stationery, and thereby seeks to change how we generate, manage and distribute documents. We continue to install multi-functional equipment to send and scan documents without printing them, with corresponding savings in paper and ink. The company continues to separate all waste generated and this is handed over 116 Sustainability Report 2014 to authorized local recyclers and waste managers, and we are continuing with the process of replacing incandescent lighting with LEDs. Santillana constantly strives to promote recycling and reduce energy consumption by means of awareness drives among employees. The recycling of all types of materials is conducted through authorized companies. PRISA Radio has carried out a policy of continuous monitoring of energy use and equipment in order to increase the performance of all devices. Thus, conventional components have been replaced by other energy-saving ones meeting the strictest ecological standards. In 2013 we proceeded to replace 730 halogen bulbs with LED technology, achieving savings of 80%. PRISA Noticias uses paper as its principal raw material, meaning that initiatives to optimize use are constant. Technological innovation allows us to optimize the use of resources and facilitates the responsible management of any waste generated. This is achieved through process improvement, automation, adjustments to print output, efficient distribution, proper waste sorting and collaboration with industry-leading recycling companies. In order to optimize the amount of ink used per million printed pages, we have adjusted consumption parameters for ink, water and fountain solution additives. We also continued implementing the use of “Chem Low” plates, which require a less aggressive chemical concentrate and simplifies cleaning and reduces waste. The company periodically tests ground and soil samples as well as groundwater to ensure the absence of contamination.
