Telecinco has identifed opportunities to invest in physical structures and in operating systems to reduce environmental impacts and generate cost savings. These investments will permit more efcient management of densely populated workspaces and will have a positive efect on cost management.

In line with the Environmental Policy defned and the environmental management manuel in the approval phase, the Telecinco Group has continued to implement initiatives to enhance its environmental performance so as to cut energy consumption, increase waste recycling and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental management in the Telecinco Group is performed by the Joint Prevention Service. The main facilities managed are the Fuencarral and Villaviciosa offices and studios, located inMadrid. The Fuencarral facilities are the largest, receiving a daily influx of approximately 1,400 people.

Telecinco always considers the possible impact of programmes that are produced in exterior locations, particularly when production could afect natural ecosystems. As an example, during the programme

Supervivientes Honduras (survival programme), a number of international bodies cooperated with the producer Magnolia TV to ensure that the work did not harm the environment. Among other preventive measures, more than 4,200 metres of fbre optic

cable was installed with extreme care under the sea without touching the coral reefs.

In the case of Supervivientes 2010, Perdidos en Nicaragua (survival programme), Telecinco and the producerMagnoliaTVcollaboratedwith the Intercom Group’s online eco-store www.citrusparadis. com, using ecological products in the programme (including toothpaste, sun cream, soap, aftersun cream and shampoo) so as to avoid harming the environment, in line with a healthy, planet-friendly image totally suited to the location.
