100 SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY

REPORT
2018
SOCIAL, CULTURAL
AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION
Since the very outset, PRISA has worked with a
firm commitment to promoting cooperation and
global solidarity in order to build together a better
world. This commitment is fully in line with the new
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We constantly
strive to establish strategic alliances and
build bridges that allow us to meet the 17 SDG objectives
by leveraging the very best of our organization.
In 2017, we continued to work closely with
the United Nations agencies UNESCO and FAO,
and we signed a new agreement with UNICEF to
improve how we cover the important work they
carry out on behalf of the world’s children. These
partnerships underscore our firm commitment
to promoting news on sustainable development,
education and quality journalism. We believe that
the world is best understood by sharing knowledge,
by promoting debate and by drawing on the
expertise of specialists.
PRISA collaborates actively with the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
for our coverage and dissemination of news on
sustainable development, hunger, food and poverty.
We do so from the FAO headquarters in Rome,
where we have a Planeta Futuro reporter, who contributes
regularly to this El País section dedicated
to sustainable development. El País thus has direct
access to the agency’s publications, allowing it to
for offer comprehensive news coverage on such
crucial issues as poverty and climate change, as
well as global health and education as engines for
development. We foster awareness on all these
issues in Spanish and thereby foster greater awareness
in Latin America, the region to have made
the greatest progress in the fight against hunger
over the past ten years. As well as ongoing coverage
of these vital issues, in 2017 we organized an
International Forum on Human Rights in Madrid in
collaboration with the FAO and the Global Compact
of the United Nations to mark International
Human Rights Day.
We also work with the United Nations Educational,
Scientific, Cultural and Communication (UNESCO)
to promote common values such as freedom of
expression, press freedom, the safety of journalists
– who safeguard plural and democratic societies –
and education, including teacher training. PRISA
is UNESCO’s chief media partner, and in the field
