The “Equality Agent” contributes to ensuring proper
compliance with the policies laid down and is responsible
for:
• Informing and guiding possible beneficiaries on the
measures contained in the Equality Plan.
• Co-ordinating the appropriate persons for the correct
application of measures adopted in all areas of the
company affected.
• Preparing information on the application of the Equality
Plan and proposals for it to be improved.
• Applying and informing on possible regulatory devel-
opments relating to any of the matters included in the
Equality Plan.
Thus the following has been carried out in 2012:
• Monitoring information: delivery of annual report to
the Equality Committee and to the works committee
of Mediaset España on monitoring of application
of equality of treatment and non-discrimination,
representation of women and men in the company,
and on the functioning and application of the measures
contained in the Equality Plan and other noteworthy
points on work / life balance matters.
• Participation in the preparation and application of
the three Equality Plans in effect in 2012: II Mediaset
España Equality Plan, III Publiespaña/Publimedia Gestión
Equality Plan and III Conecta 5 Equality Plan.
• Communication campaign: the Work / Life Balance
Guide and the specific Equality section of the corpo-
rate intranet have been updated so as to adapt them
to the measures agreed in the X Collective Agreement
of Mediaset and in the current Equality Plan.
The Procedure for the Handling of Psychological-
Employment Risks and Situations of Harassment in
the Workplace, which includes all measures designed
to eliminate and prevent sexual harassment and / or sex
discrimination, covers mainly the following matters:
• Employer’s declaration of principles of equality of
treatment and non-discrimination.
• Preventive measures designed to take effect at the
point of origin of the risk.
• Development of specific intervention procedures.
• Monitoring of measures adopted.
The procedure itself provides for a system of monitoring of
its functioning and analysing the suitability and practicality
of its content.
The Code of Ethics of Mediaset España also refers to
ensuring and respecting the principle of equality of
opportunity and non-discrimination in all situations,
especially in all matters concerning access to employment,
conditions of work, training and professional development
and promotion.The Code of Ethics explicitly emphasises
the commitment of the employer in this regard among
others to the creation of the Equality Agent (who carries
out functions of information, guidance and co-ordination)
and the implementation of measures which eliminate and
prevent situations of harassment in the workplace.
It also declares a policy of “zero tolerance” towards any
abusive, humiliating or offensive behaviour or conduct
which could be classified as harassment, either physical
or psychological, particularly that based on considerations
of race, colour, sex, religion, ethnic origin, nationality, age,
personal and family situation, sexual orientation, disability,
physical state or any other behaviour prohibited by law.
To achieve the effective application of these measures
Mediaset España is committed to a strengthened policy
of internal communication on matters of equality and
non-discrimination. The company distributes and keeps
on its internal communications channels all information
relevant to this area, principally by way of information
circulars, on the corporate intranet and the Employee’s
Portal, where there is a specific “Equality” section and
the contents of all Equality Plans and procedures for the
handling of psychological-employment risks and situations
of harassment in the workplace are published in full, which
ensures they are known to all staff.
No discrimination incidents have occurred in 2012. The
situation diagnoses given before laying down the objec-
tives of the Equality Plans did not detect any situation
which could be considered discriminatory or as consti-
