69 Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2017 | PRISA A recognized commitment to facing ongoing challenges PRISA’s commitment to sustainability has been recog-nized by investors since 2008, when the international index for corporate social responsibility and sustaina-bility, the FTSE4Good, was established. FTSE4Good is a package of indices aimed at measuring the efforts of 30 Spanish companies to meet globally recognized standards, and PRISA has been included on the in-dex since the very beginning in recognition of its good practices and for maintaining the required standards on corporate social responsibility, human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption PRISA has also been signed up to the United Nations Global Compact since 2008. The company has thus signaled its commitment to aligning its operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and an-ti- corruption, as promoted by the UN. Since 2010 the Spanish Network for the UN Global Compact has con-sistently congratulated PRISA for its Progress Report, lauding the quality of the information reported, the or-ganization of the document, and the initiatives carried out by the company and its business units to integrate CSR into the Group’s management. In May 2013, the Group went from being mere signatories of the Com-pact to being full members of the Spanish Network for the UN Global Compact and thus has set itself the challenge of identifying and promoting best practices in the media and education sectors to promote sus-tainability. As a result, every year since 2013 we have obtained the GC Advanced level for the reporting of non-financial information, and in 2015 we launched a series of debates in partnership with the Global Com-pact to champion the most important issues of the year: The new Millennium Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Climate Conference (COP21). In 2016 the Global Compact invited us to join its Exe-cutive Committee in recognition of our commitment to society and our continuous improvement in CSR. From this position we will be even more proactive in promoting the Ten Principles and SDGs, both through our own projects and those we undertake with third parties. PRISA is part of the SERES Foundation, which pro-motes corporate engagement to improve society. Sin-ce its inception, we have actively participated in its Steering Committee, on which we have sat since 2014 and where we work to advance the programs and pro-jects of the Foundation. In 2016 we continued with the round of debates, which started successfully in 2015, involving senior management from those major Spa-nish companies who are most active in sustainability, and we will continue to forge ahead with this and other new collaborative projects in partnership with SERES. In 2016 we were also invited to join the Foundation’s Communication Committee, from where we will help promote and publicize the social initiatives of compa-nies. Meanwhile, in 2016 we have also used our content to promote a greater awareness of the SDGs, an en-deavor which was honored by the SERES Foundation when the award Premio SERES 2016, went to Planeta Red Española
