Núria Vilanova, member of the Consulting Committee of the RACEF on Corporate Responsibility
The president of Grupo Inforpress, Núria Vilanova, is a member of the Consulting Committee of the “Corporate Responsibility, proposal for a new corporate economy” project, sponsored by the Spanish Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences (RACEF). This committee is directed by Aldo Olcese, and also includes Emilio Botín, president of Banco Santander Central Hispano (BSCH), and Juan Roig, president of the Institute of Family Business and president of Mercadona.
The aim of the committee is to analyse and research the business model which is developing around the new values and tools of business management, based on Corporate Responsibility. To do this, the committee will collect the information provided by civil society and economic agents and will foment the debate in different areas. Its work will be carried out over the first six months of 2007, and will then be presented to the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, the Universities Council and the Autonomic Communities for the creation of a subject entitled Business Economy: Corporate Responsibility, as a subject for the last year of the degree in Economic and Business Sciences, and as an option subject in the second cycle in all other faculties.
Another objective is the publication of a “Guide of Recommendation of Principles of Corporate Responsibility” for companies, or the creation of the first “Observatory of Corporate Responsibility”, led by the RACEF which will invite the economic and social agents, private and public institutions that are interested in this issue.
Grupo Inforpress presents its progress report to the United Nations Global Pact
 Grupo Inforpress has presented to the United National Global Pacts its first report on Progress of its advances in the implementation and promotion of the ten principles of conduct and action which adhesion to the United Nations Global Pact (UN) requires, and which affect areas relation to human rights, the environment, work and the fight against corruption. Inforpress, along with its Progress report, presented a letter from its president, Núria Vilanova Giralt, in which she reaffirms the commitment to the Global Pact.
Grupo Inforpress signed its adhesion to the Global Pact on March 28th 2003 and is also amongst the group of founding members of the Spanish Association of the Global Pact (ASEPAM). Since then it has participated in all ASEPAM’s initiatives –round tables, implementation days…- and has worked to integrate and promote the ten action principles of the Pact into the group’s strategy and culture, as well as amongst its groups of interest.
The United National global Pact is an initiative of commitment and etiquette aimed at ensuring that companies from all around the world adapt as part of their strategy and business, ten principles of conduct and action regarding Human Rights, Work, the Environment and the Fight against Corruption. Its aim is to promote the creation of a global corporate citizenship, which enables the conciliation of the interests and processes of business activity with the values and demands of civil society, as well as with UN projects, International Organisations, unions and NGO’s.
The ten principles of the Global Pact are support and respect of fundamental human rights, non-complicity in the violation of human rights, support of the freedom of association and acknowledgement of the right to collective bargaining, support of the elimination of all types of forced work or work carried out under coercion, support of the eradication of underage work, support in abolishing discriminatory acts in employment and work, maintenance of a preventative focus that favours the environment, fomenting initiatives that promote greater environmental responsibility, favouring development and use of technologies which respect the environment and the fight against all types of corruption, including extortion and bribery.
The companies the joined the Pact publicly commit to defending, implementing and promoting the aforementioned in their activity, as well as proving their advances in all these principles by presenting annual reports.

Grupo Harmonia entrusts its communications to Inforpress
 Grupo Harmonia, specialising in property development, has contracted the services of Grupo Inforpress for the communications of its company. This company plans on consolidating itself in the Eastern European markets through the development of five new residential developments in Poland and Rumania.
As well as its developments in Eastern European countries, Grupo Harmonia currently has 16 development projects in Spain. This Group is also a founding member and investor in the chain of 02 Wellness sports centres, leaders in their sector for their specialisation in health and wellbeing treatments. This chain currently has 50.000 members in its 14 clubs around Europe.
The values of Harmonia, since its beginnings, are centred in creating developments of sustainable design and quality, which care for the environment, and cooperates with architects of national and international recognition such as Richard Rogers, Aukett Fittzroy Robinson, Alonso Balaguer and Fermín Vázquez, just to mention a few.
The trends in the property industry are towards the concentration and diversification of the business due to the market slow-down, and thus competition is continually getting tougher. Thus, the companies need to position themselves, not only to sell more, but to gain prestige and obtain the confidence of investors to finance their developments.

Discussion with José Antich, director of La Vanguardia
"We are a newspaper that has the optimism of a beginner and the experience we've gained throughout our history".
"La Vanguardia is the newspaper with the highest sales in a Spanish Autonomous Community".
"We are a newspaper of meaning, not general outlines. This is a model that works in Catalonia ”.
"La Vanguardia is the only means in which you will find different lines of thought. We believe a central posture does exist”.
"We may be at the doors of a new political class".
"Any prime minister who wants to stop ETA will have the support of La Vanguardia"
