GOVERNANCE MODEL
Mediaset España is aware of its responsibility in the implementation and observance of responsible
practices within its organisation, and it assumes its role in the promotion of these practices in
its area of influence, transmitting them along the supply chain.The Company strives to ensure a
supply of products and services that complies with the highest environmental and social standards.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
In this respect, Mediaset España seeks to strengthen the
responsibility of all the parties involved in its supply chain,
from the suppliers of products and services in general to
the suppliers of broadcast rights and content distributors.
Most of the suppliers of Mediaset España’s products and
services are Spanish companies, while foreign suppliers
account for 6%. The criterion for classifying a supplier as
Spanish is that it has a Spanish tax ID number and its
invoices are settled in Spain.
Since 2010, contracts with Mediaset España suppliers
contain a clause stipulating their commitment to engage
in sustainable activities, undertaking to: respect employees’
labour and union membership rights; not use child labour;
reject all kinds of forced labour; prohibit any type of
discrimination; comply with occupational risk prevention
legislation; assure employee safety during working hours;
and prohibit any conduct that entails corruption, blackmail
or extortion. The contractors also declare that they will
respect environmental regulations and promote the
efficient use of limited resources such as energy, water
and raw materials in the course of their activities.
The largest expenses for the year are in the contracting
of technology, professional and production services, which
together account for 56%of the total products and services
purchased. Technology services relate to the purchase of
television equipment, production services concern rentals
of lighting and set materials, while professional services
relate to the contracting of IT systems development or
improvement services.
With regard to content broadcasting rights suppliers,
which represent a procurement volume equivalent to
577% of product and service purchases, 30% are Spanish
