- 1 - ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Remembrance

he first modern corporate annual report dates back to 1903. It was published by the American company US Steel, which was set up in 1901 as a result of a merger of three steel companies. Only three years later, in 1906, Francesc Moragas wrote the first report in the history of ”la Caixa” in his own handwriting after he had set up this entity in 1904. In this, he was also a pioneer and Thumanist who helped to modernise and bring more transparency to the way entities communicate with their audiences and with society as a whole.

Annual reports are known as records. Their pages summarise the annual essence of a company or institution. This is of such importance that the National Association of Manufacturers, the largest industrial trade association in the USA, appealed in 1938 to make them clearly accessible after it had studied the annual reports of 2,000 companies and considered them to be cumbersome as a whole.

But Moragas had always understood this from the beginning. Every year between 1906 and 1934 –he died in 1935– he handwrote the annual reports of ”la Caixa” in a prose style that was simple, clear and understand- able, not at all bombastic. “Facts and numbers con- stitute their essence and their purpose,” he record- ed. These thirty initial reports reflect the thoughts of Moragas with the same consistency, perseverance and optimism that inspired ”la Caixa”.

If he taught us to remember and make records, this 2018 we have made a new stop on our journey to recall the coinciding of two major anniversaries.

First, the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the man behind the spirit of ”la Caixa”: Francesc Moragas (1868-1935), whose founding values still motivate our daily work today. Second, taking stock of the first and exciting ten-year period of CaixaProinfancia, our programme to fight against child poverty.

- 2 - - 3 - letter from the chairman

Moragas placed the spotlight on people. The key to this lies in the verb ‘to accompany’, exactly in the way that he taught us to express this. This is the logic behind CaixaProinfancia, which works to ensure that children in vulnerable situations have the same opportunities as the rest. If an environment with few opportunities impeded Tamara in her progress at school, an educator, Alberto, taught her to believe in herself, to the extent that today she has a Higher Degree in Ear- ly Childhood Education, thereby returning to society what ”la Caixa” has given to her and thousands of other children over these years.

‘Humaniza’. This is the name we gave to another strategic programme we have begun to implement this year in Portugal, the Care for People with Advanced Diseases, within the framework of the incorporation of the BPI into the CaixaBank Group. This adaptation to each territory in which we operate has been part of our foundational purpose from the very beginning.

We are also committed to research. Moragas himself opened dozens of hospitals and clinics when hard- ly any existed as part of his fight against an endemic disease at the time: tuberculosis. In keeping with the times today, ”la Caixa” has invested more than 400 million euros in knowledge and science in Spain and Portugal and has placed special emphasis on fighting high-impact diseases in recent years.

How does cancer spread? Is it possible to stop scratching when you feel itchy? How can we detect dark matter? Knowledge is questioning. Albert Einstein said: “The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution.” This year, ”la Caixa” wanted to underline these questions with a vision of the future, so therefore the featured stars of our award ceremony of 75 grants were the researchers of excellence from our scholarship and research programmes.

Radiating knowledge. Exactly, in the same way as blood vessels propagate life through the human body. The CaixaForum network of centres is therefore a unique model for disseminating knowledge, culture and science as driving forces for social progress. EduCaixa is similarly looking ahead and beginning to envision new pedagogical methods and the careers of tomorrow.

This 2018 represents the consolidation of our Stra- tegic Plan 2016-2019. Its results have been obtained from the collaboration of everyone involved: employees, volunteers, social entities, schools and teachers, health centres and researchers.

With the most vulnerable since 1904

The spirit of Francesc Moragas, our inspiration and founder, is still very present in all of us. A large part of our efforts continues to be concentrated on implementing social programmes that focus on the major challenges today, such as unemployment, the fight against exclusion or access to housing. We are therefore one of the foundations that provides most support to vulnerable groups worldwide.

CaixaForum Madrid celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2018 and it did so with some impressive figures: 8,800,000 visitors, 75 programmed exhibitions and more than 12,400 activities organised (excluding school activities) over its ten-year lifespan. The number of visitors it welcomed this year once again broke all records, reaching almost one million. The most visited exhibitions were ‘Warhol: Mechanical Art’ and ‘Disney: The Art of Storytelling’. At the same time, CaixaForum opted for new activity and experience models with activities such as a Warhol Evening and Found Night!, with new national and international talent in the visual arts aimed at a younger audience. The ‘Pequeños cinéfilos’ (Little Film Buffs) season and the ‘Opera-mía’ concert were two other new activities aimed at family audiences that were very well received by the public.
