as promoted by bodies and NGOs whom we can
support thanks to our position as opinion leaders
with the capacity to raise awareness through our
content. For decades we have collaborated with
the FAD (Foundation Against Drug Addiction), of
which we are founding sponsors and where we
work actively on its Media Committee to promote
its activity. We have also worked with the WWF
since 2008 on its campaign Earth Hour, the world’s
biggest initiative to mobilize the population against
climate change. And we partner with many other
NGOs such as Intermón Oxfam, UNICEF, Ayuda
en Acción, Red Cross, Manos Unidas, Médicos
sin Fronteras, Save the Children and the UNHCR.
Support is offered through habitual reporting and
specific sponsorship or promotion deals, placing
our media at the service of the global community
as part of our commitment to raising awareness
and mobilizing society. In 2017, PRISA joined the
Emergency Committee, which brings together different
NGOs to act in a coordinated and effective
fashion on the ground in the event of humanitarian
emergencies. When deemed necessary, the
Group’s media will work together to raise funds to
help meet any humanitarian requirements.
In the field of innovation, research and development,
PRISA is a founding patron and active collaborator
of the Fundación Pro CNIC, whose main
objective is to raise awareness about the vital
work in research and prevention of cardiovascular
disease, the leading cause of death in Spain,
being carried out by CNIC, the National Center for
Cardiovascular Research, led by Valentin Fuster.
In the field of innovation, research and development,
the Group works with the Fundación COTEC
for Technological Innovation. And we collaborate
with the Fundación Reina Sofia on its awareness
campaigns in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
