Social relations Overall, 63% of the Group's workers are subject to collective bargaining agreements, Prisa Media being the Business Unit with the highest coverage – of 87% . In 2022 there were no labor force adjustment plans (EREs), furlough schemes (ERTEs) or strikes within the Group. There have been no claims for breach of working conditions or rights applicable to the workforce. At Santillana, the percentage is lower due to the geographic distribution of its business and the lack of collective agreements in many of the countries in which it operates. This does not mean there is no social dialogue in these companies, which always fall under an applicable regulatory umbrella that guarantees social relations between a company and its workers. All PRISA companies guarantee freedom of association and foster social dialogue. Collective labor agreements offer improvements in working and employment conditions above and beyond the established minimum legal requirements of each country.

PRISA promotes a policy of disconnection fromwork in all its companies. In Spain, there’s a working hours control system in place to optimize the management of time worked. The Group is committed to flexibility in a collaborative environment. Also in Spain, the Group has a digital disconnection policy for Santillana and another such policy for PRISA Media . These policies are adapted for each medium within the processes of renegotiation of collective agreements. Practically all of the collective agreements applicable to the various companies include working hours that are below the maximum legal working hours (40 hours per week). Furthermore, any exceptional overtime will be compensated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements in force at the companies.
