Sustainability Report 2022

The fight against climate change The Group is acutely aware of the enormous challenge that must be faced by humanity and the private business sector in the fight against the climate emergency. Tackling climate change is, therefore, an essential part of the Group’s environmental strategy and objectives, and the company is committed to taking measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to its operations. During 2022, PRISA has continued to monitor the company's carbon footprint in order to define these measures and plot a route toward climate neutrality. With regard to the carbon footprint, Scope 1 emissions increased significantly in 2022 due to the reclassification of some emission sources that in 2021 were reported within Scope 3, such as the fuel consumption (diesel and gasoline) of the Group's long-term car rentals. In 2022, this resulted in an increase of 6,002 t CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. Conversely, the Scope 2 carbon footprint was reduced by 42% compared to 2021 as a result of switching to 100% renewable energy at Prisa Media in Spain .

Energy efficiency measures and reduction of fuel consumption. Digitalization of the Group’s businesses , leveraging the momentum of digital transformation and innovation. Recycling of desktop computers and the removal of servers has allowed savings of approximately 92 tons of CO 2 /year. Monitoring of the consumption of renewable energy in countries such as Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Costa Rica, which have begun to report their consumption percentage taking as a baseline the breakdown of energy sources as published by their respective governments. Promotion of sustainable mobility with the Installation of charging stations for electric vehicles at the Miguel Yuste offices, which has meant a reduction of 0.358 tons of CO 2 . Promotion of activities , projects and awareness events aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and SDG 13 "Climate Action".
