A RECOGNIZED COMMITMENT TO
FACING ONGOING CHALLENGES
PRISA’s commitment to sustainability has been
recognized by investors since 2008, when the international
index for corporate social responsibi-
lity and sustainability, the FTSE4Good Ibex, 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 index since the
very beginning in recognition of its good practi-
ces 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 anti-corruption, as promoted
by the UN. Since 2010 the Spanish Network for the
UN Global Compact has consistently congratu-
lated PRISA for its Progress Report, lauding the
quality of the information reported, the organization
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 a mere signatory of
the Compact to being a full member of the Spa-
nish Network for the UN Global Compact, thereby
setting itself the challenge of identifying and
promoting best practices in the media and education
sectors to promote sustainability. 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 Compact
to champion the most important issues of the
year: the new Millennium Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), climate change and human
rights. In 2016, the Global Compact invited us to
join its Executive Committee in recognition of our
commitment to society and our continuous improvement
in CSR. From this position we are 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
promotes corporate engagement to improve society.
We have actively participated in its steering
committee since 2014 and we are a member of
the jury for the Awards for Corporate Innovation
and Social Commitment. Since 2016 we have also
been a member of its Communications Committee,
from where we help promote and publicize the
social initiatives of companies.
