APPLICATION AND SCOPE OF THIS REPORT
This Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2018 provides a faithful and
transparent overview of the degree of development of the actions and commitments
of Grupo PRISA in economic, social and environmental areas over the
course of 2017, and builds on those reports of the past ten years. The data
presented here provide a broad summary of all the activities and operations
of the Group in all the countries where it is present, with any exceptions being
detailed In the accompanying GRI Indicator tables. Further, the data provided
are either an aggregate of all the information at a Group level or broken
down by company, depending on the nature of said information – with the goal
of making it more accessible to the reader. In most cases, the report shows
the evolution of results over the course of previous years as this allows for a
comparative analysis.
This Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2018 contains information
on the Group’s business units: PRISA Noticias, PRISA Radio, PRISA Audiovisual
and Santillana in all those markets where they operate.
Just as in previous years, in producing this Report, we have taken into account
the guiding Principles of the Global Compact, and we have followed the recommendations
of the Guide for the Creation of Sustainability Reports from the
Global Reporting Initiative TM, for the presentation and drafting of this report.
In previous years, the report was made in accordance with the guidelines established
in the GRI G.4. This year, for the first time, we have taken into account
the new GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards at a Comprehensive level.
As required by the GRI guidelines, PRISA conducted a materiality analysis at the
end of 2016. The study identified all those environmental, social and economic
aspects that are significant for both stakeholders and for the organization,
based on their impact on the value chain.
