Sustainability Report 2022

Raising awareness about climate change and its consequences is ever present in PRISA Media's content. The initiative EcosystemNow , organized by EL PAÍS , explores the commitment and action required in the face of the climate emergency. RETINA organized the second edition of the Retina ECO Awards , which seek to pay tribute to the best projects in the fight against climate change or that promote sustainability using technology. LOS40 continued, in 2022, to raise awareness among young audiences. The campaign El Eco de LOS40 ran 40 initiatives that integrated music and ecology to promote sustainability, including the Eco Talks and Trash to Live , which looked at ways to reduce and offset the waste generated at its festivals and concerts. The SER podcast Tierra a la vista (Earth in sight), and the Caracol radio program in Colombia , Planeta Caracol , are other examples. Caracol radio also supports the Climate Emergency Summit , of the regional Government of Antioquia , with information and advice to listeners on how to adopt environmentally responsible practices. Santillana , meanwhile, has launched initiatives such as the workshop held in Puerto Rico on hurricanes and their impact, from the perspective of learning and community self-management, aimed at teachers and families . Also of note is Santillana Honduras 's participation in the Climate-Friendly Schools project , in which students from different schools learned over a period of two months about energy saving, about the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) and how to act in the event of a natural disaster . They planted more than 2,500 trees and built models from reusable materials, which were exhibited at the Recycling Fair and Recyclathon 2022. Climate action PRISA Media’s range of outlets are committed, as part of their daily mission, to offering readers, listeners and users quality news and information that is truthful, engaging and as complete as possible in a way that helps them to understand the world around them and form their own opinions . EL PAÍS joined The Trust Project in 2018, an initiative born with the aim of reinforcing public trust in the media through greater transparency and accountability. By means of a range of trust indicators and digital standards, this project seeks to identify and safeguard quality news produced by rigorous media . Peace, justice and strong institutions In 2022, the Group participated in a new forum, the Observatory on Governance and Information Transparency in the Digital Age , which was created to promote a culture of good governance and information transparency among the main news media companies in Spain and Latin America. The Group, led by Cadena SER and EL PAÍS, condemned the war on Ukraine from the very outset and has made every effort to offer high- quality news coverage, with numerous teams on the ground. In addition, it has given advertising space to the Emergency Committee , which has implemented its fundraising protocols to support the actions of member NGOs in the wake of the attack on Ukraine. The prestigious Ortega y Gasset Journalism Awards , created in 1984 by EL PAÍS, pay tribute to the most outstanding works of journalism , originally published in Spanish-language media during the previous year, recognizing, in particular, work that champions freedom, independence and rigor: in short all the hallmarks of excellent journalism. The 39th edition of the awards honored t wo cases of victims of abuses of power : a photograph that captured the pain caused by cancer and hope in the face of the disease; and the careers of two journalists who were killed in the line of duty. EL PAÍS is part of The Trust Project that seeks to identify quality news and promote public trust in the media. The Ondas Awards , after 68 editions, remain as committed as ever to recognizing and promoting radio, music and television productions that embrace innovation and improve the audience experience . Further examples of impact on SDG16 include the Trends Forums, Retina’s Ideas for a brand-new world , SER Conversa , the series Challenges facing Democracy on Caracol Radio , and the ADN podcast in Chile Ciudadano Constituyente , which brought together constitutional experts to resolve listeners’ doubts about the country's new constitution. Partnerships for the goals This Sustainable Development Goal fosters alliances between public and private institutions with shared principles and values, with each partner contributing experience and knowledge in order to work together to promote the 2030 Agenda. In 2022, PRISA has strengthened its institutional support and has increased its participation in key forums and organizations in the field of sustainability.
