“Las aventuras deTadeo Jones” -our first venture into animation
- and “Lo imposible” -a film which will join the list of the best
productions in the history of Spanish cinema, having been seen
by more than 18 million people throughout the world -, films
which are cited as an example of our ongoing commitment to
quality and profitability.
In matters of corporate governance we reaffirm our
commitment to excellence and transparency, and in this regard
in 2012 we have become the first IBEX company to have
verified the report on our directors’ remuneration.This report
was also put to a binding vote this year for the first time. It is
also 12 years since the creation of our social action initiative “12
meses, 12 causas”, and we have renewed this project by putting
in motion a series of initiatives which have won the unanimous
applause of the public, the public authorities and private bodies.
“Eres perfecto para otros” (with more than 70,000 applications
for a donor’s card) and “Alas Verdes” (to encourage awareness
of the values of ecology and re-cycling), together with one-off
actions in co-operation with Cruz Roja and Mensajeros de la
Paz, have brought us the satisfaction of feeling that our ability to
inform and mobilise the public to carry out social and solidarity
action is both considerable and fruitful.
We therefore maintain this solid basis to our work in facing
2013, in a privileged position to take on large projects thanks to
a healthy cash-flow and an absence of financial debts; satisfied
by having successfully used what is the new model for Spanish
television and by being in the best possible position to withstand
another year of economic uncertainty; and hopeful that in the
months to come we begin to see a more promising future.
