Sustainability Report 2022

PRISA has an unequivocal commitment to sustainable development and the United Nations 2030 Agenda. PRISA's 2022-2025 Sustainability Master Plan (SMP) sets out seven priority Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for its activity and one transversal SDG. Throughout 2022, the Group has developed multiple initiatives specifically aimed at contributing to these objectives. PRISA's contribution to the SDGs This is undoubtedly one of the most significant SDGs to which PRISA decisively contributes via Santillana. Santillana is committed to offering life opportunities through education, to leading the transformation and the improvement of education centers in Latin America, and to offering students, teachers and schools a quality education that is both inclusive and equal . Santillana stands as a staunch ally of schools in meeting the challenge of educating in sustainable development. To this end, it offers teacher training, with specific courses on ESG and with contents that reflect the diversity of society and that stimulate reflection around the enormous global challenges (social and environmental) raised by the 2030 Agenda. One example from 2022 is the online mini-training course on SDGs that was offered to the 6,152 teachers registered on the Training Paths platform. One of the SMP's key objectives is precisely to incorporate sustainable development into 100% of Santillana's new educational projects by 2025 . By the end of 2023, 45%% of new educational initiatives should have content on sustainability and the SDGs for students and teachers. Projects such as Compartir’s Asombro , for preschool and primary school pupils in Mexico , include learning modules inspired by the SDGs. In Colombia, Activamente Digital, Chrysalis and Set 21 Robótica get students of different educational levels involved in creating solutions to the issues and challenges posed by the different SDGs.  Santillana offers more than 2,000 books for use in working on the SDGs via reading comprehension. Loqueleo Digital includes activities to engage students with the 2030 Agenda in a practical way.  The #VoyaSer program in Peru and Guatemala helps indigenous girls in vulnerable situations to complete secondary education and train in digital and social skills that will help them in their personal and professional development. This initiative, developed in partnership with the Entreculturas Foundation and the Fe y Alegría association, was a finalist in the Good Practices category at the Global Sustainability Week Awards in Spain.  The Santillana Foundation also carries out initiatives to promote dialogue and reflection on achieving more equal, diverse and inclusive education. In 2022 alone, the activities and publications in Brazil reached close to 200,000 people . In Argentina , the Foundation has continued to contribute to the debate on education – with publications such as 50 teachers who are transforming Latin America – and to highlight good practices with the VIVALectura Award PRISA Media has promoted SDG4 through forums such as EL PAÍS with your future , an educational event focused on the world of work and professional development that offers young people – in their last year of secondary school and vocational training school – careers guidance. A total of 23 experts in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, blockchain and cybersecurity explained their work to 975 students . The UAM-EL PAÍS School of Journalism , created in 1986, belongs to a nonprofit foundation run jointly by the Autonomous University of Madrid and EL PAÍS. Its main activity is the master’s degree in journalism , which had 69 students in 2022. In Colombia, W Radio took part once again last year in the Vamos Pa’lante (Let’s Get Ahead) campaign, run by Los Andes University and five other universities in the country, to grant scholarships to support undergraduate students at risk of dropping out from their studies for financial reasons. In 2022, grants were given to 1,128 students . Quality education In 2023, at least 45% of Santillana's new educational projects will contain content on sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals.
