Esic Ranked 2 Business School in Spain for Its Talent ESIC RANKED 2nd BUSINESS SCHOOL IN SPAIN FOR ITS TALENT IN ADDITION, ESIC HAS BEEN RANKED IN 47th POSITION AMONG THE 100 SPANISH COMPANIES WITH GREATEST CAPACITY FOR ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TALENT ACCORDING TO THE CORPORATE REPUTATION MONITOR, ESIC IS RANKED 4TH BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR IN SPAIN (IN THE CATEGORY OF LESS THAN 800 EMPLOYEES) AFTER MICROSOFT, DKV AND IE BUSINESS SCHOOL According to the 11th Merco Talent Ranking, the monitor that determines the 100 best companies with most talent in Spain, ESIC is not only the second business school in the sector, ahead of EAE, IESE and ESADE, but it has been ranked 47th among the Spanish companies with greatest capacity to attract and retain talent. The monitor evaluates companies taking into consideration three key values: employment quality, employer brand and internal reputation. The monitoring of the methodology used for the elaboration of this ranking is subject to independent review by the consulting firm KPMG. Madrid, 7 November 2016 – The ranking is headed by Inditex, Repsol and BBVA. They are followed by Telefónica, Apple, Iberdrola, Santander, Google, Mercadona and Gas Natural in that order. This year, Merco Talent has carried out an analysis of workers’ commitment, both with the team with which they work regularly and with the organization as a whole, focusing on the culture of commitment. Merco Talent seeks to collect and analyze the different reputational dimensions linked to talent, including all those groups that determine the attractiveness of companies when it comes to capturing and retaining talent. Thus, the monitor has evaluated the opinion of more than 18,458 employees of the companies present in the ranking, 826 university graduates, 117 HR managers, 928 citizens, 748 alumni from business schools, 53 experts and head-hunters as well as a comparative analysis of the best management policies in the main ranked companies. These audiences assess companies with regard to three key values that influence and determine the attractiveness of companies: employment quality, employer brand and internal reputation. The monitoring of the methodology used for the elaboration of this ranking is subject to independent review by the consulting firm KPMG. As Merco sets out to be a global monitor, the question of which company is the best to work for is put to different audiences: workers, who are not allowed to choose their own company, the previous year’s university students, students of business schools and those who are looking for work. Thus, being included in the Merco Talent report does not depend on the companies themselves, but on the opinion given by many different audiences. The monitor distinguishes different values and variables such as employment quality, salary, professional development, motivation, brand, image and internal reputation. ESIC is considered the 4th best company to work for in Spain within the category of less than 800 employees. Merco Talent also offers a classification based on companies’ number of employees. Thus, Google is the best company to work for in the category of 1 to 200 employees, while Amazon leads the category of 200 to 500 employees. Within the category of companies in the range of 500 to 800 workers, Microsoft is top, followed by DKV Health and Medical Insurance, IE Business School and ESIC. Finally, Inditex is considered as the best company to work for in the category of companies with more than 1,200 workers. Managers and HR experts agree that key aspects to attract and retain talent are managers’ good reputation and pride at being part of the company. On the other hand, they recognize that work- life balance, equality and maintaining a good relationship with middle managers are the weakest points in Spanish companies. MERCO Talent is a reference tool for large companies in the evaluation of their intangible assets and constitutes the first evaluation stage of the MERCO companies ranking, which establishes, in turn, the ranking of Spain’s 100 most reputable companies, in which the School is also represented. .

  • Cruz Roja Responde” Plan
    Honeste vivere, alterum non laedete cuique suum tribuere OUR LAW OFFICES SUPPORT THE SPANISH RED CROSS “CRUZ ROJA RESPONDE” PLAN March 26, 2020 Spain is facing hard times in the health alert of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, which today raises the number of infected to more than 56,000 people and the number of deaths to more than 4,000 people. Our law offices in Malaga and Oporto wish to communicate to our clients and friends the following: 1. Despite the uncertainty and threat of recession hanging over the economy worldwide, it is gratifying the enormous solidarity effort and social commitment that some companies, charitable organizations and individuals are assuming to support and assist in the fight against the pandemic. Some of the large companies of the IBEX-35, such as Inditex, Iberdrola, Telefonica, Santander or BBVA, among others, companies like El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Mango, sports clubs like Real Madrid, and some foundations, businessmen, athletes and individuals are donating millions of euros or directly contributing providers of medical supplies and their logistical capacity to meet the urgent needs for equipment and protective accessories for healthcare professionals. 2. Spanish healthcare professionals are at the limit of their capabilities and need more respirators, personal protective equipment (self-filtering masks, protective gloves and clothing, eye and face protection material, etc), more ambulances for the mobilization of those affected and temporary hospital infrastructures, among other needs. 3. The Spanish Red Cross or Cruz Roja has been cooperating with the Spanish authorities and the Spanish health system since the beginning of the health crisis, with an unprecedented deployment of means and intense activity to attend to the most vulnerable people and the general population.

  • Annual Results 2020 FY20 Results a Year Dominated by the Pandemic and Key to the Transformation of the Company Inditex Exceeds € 1.1 Billion Net Profit
    Annual Results 2020 FY20 Results A year dominated by the pandemic and key to the transformation of the company Inditex exceeds € 1.1 billion net profit Online sales increased by 77% in local currencies to €6.6bn, making Inditex a global leader in online fashion Zara 2 10 march 2021 The Group generated net sales of €20.4 billion in FY20 – from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2021 – reducing the year-on-year decline to 28% or 25% excluding the foreign exchange impact. This was despite 100% of its stores being mandated to close or having restricted trading hours or capacity during periods of the financial year. Inditex’s executive chairman, Pablo Isla, said of the results, “Inditex has emerged stronger after such a challenging year thanks to the amazing commitment displayed by everyone here at the company”. Under this context, he underlined the relevance of “the digital transformation strategy initiated in 2012, which is built around the integrated store and online sales platform”. “Inditex as a company is stronger today than it was two years ago, with a unique business model and a global, flexible, digitally integrated and sustainable sales platform, which places us in an excellent position for the future”., Isla concluded During the year, Inditex launched its online sales platform in 25 new markets and opened new stores in 29. The Group’s eight retail brands are currently available online in 216 markets around the world, 91 of which offer the integrated store and online shopping experience. The fast deployment of the integrated stock management system (SINT), which is already available in 5,777 stores across 89 markets, has played a crucial role during the pandemic.
