During 2014, PRISA’s activity has focussed chiefly on digital transformation and on strengthening our position in Latin America.

This Annual Sustainability Report offers an analysis of what makes our performance a model of what a responsible company should be. In this regard, our commitment to the UN Global Compact is well known, as is our active participation in numerous national and international platforms and projects that ensure corporate transparency.

The principles and values ​​of our cultural tradition are linked to the creation of value far beyond mere financial returns. Value for our customers and users, value for our employees, for our shareholders, and for society in general. PRISA’s constant innovation is evident in the growth of audiences for our media, in revenues from digital products and in the development of new education systems across Ibero-America.

A full year before the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative come into force, PRISA  has voluntarily undertaken to draft its 2015 report according to the new G4 version of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) at a comprehensive level, thereby highlighting the constant endeavor of the Group to be a responsible and sustainable organization, and one that is committed to the values that it enshrines.

I would like to to convey a message of optimism about our prospects for the current year. PRISA has enormous future potential, given the dynamism and talent of our professional teams and the commitment of everybody within the company. I thank each and every one of those who together make up PRISA for their invaluable contribution. The efforts and quality of more than 10,500 Group professionals is what enables us to successfully tackle the competitive demands of the global market and to create value that goes far beyond mere economic results.

Yours,

Juan Luis Cebrian
Executive Chairman
PRISA
