And as the Hispanic population grew, so did we. During this time we have also cultivated deep community relationships based on trust, service and results. Today we find ourselves at the center of a new America, energized by the potential that lives within our country’s most vibrant multicultural populations. Now more than ever we are proud of how, working with our partners, we continue to deliver on our responsibility to the communities we serve. In this, our first-ever Corporate Social Responsibility report, we invite you to discover the three key areas of focus for our Company’s CSR efforts – workforce diversity and development, content, and service to our community. This report showcases how our corporate values of integrity, collaboration, innovation, diversity, service and excellence come to life. RANDY FALCO PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. 6 8 THE COMPANY WE KEEP Making corporate success more accessible through workforce diversity and development 9 QUENCHING A THIRST FOR OPPORTUNITY Bursting with talent and ambition, yet traditionally underrepresented, U.S. Hispanics receive a chance to break into and build a career in media and technology at Univision Ten percent of American media executives are Hispanic. Less than five percent are represented on the board of directors. Given the cultural impact U.S. Hispanics have on music, movies and TV, the numbers for Hispanics in media are simply far too low. As a leading employer of multiculturals with an 82-percent minority workforce, Univision has historically broken this mold by giving opportunity where opportunity is due. Bottom line: If you have smarts, talent and drive, you can call Univision home — from entry level to executive leadership. “As a mission-driven company, diversity and inclusion are the backbone of Univision. We have designed a robust platform focused on growing and retaining a diverse workforce at all levels, and are serving as catalysts for diversity in the industry.” JESSICA HERRERA-FLANIGAN EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT GOVERNMENT RELATIONS & PUBLIC POLICY UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. 10 Workforce 11 DIVERSE BY DESIGN In a world where most companies are struggling with the challenge of increasing diversity in the workplace — particularly among senior management — Univision is significantly ahead of the curve From our interns to our top executives, talented professionals of every race, religion, age and gender come together every day to uphold principles we hold dear: authenticity, diversity of thought and individualism. Then, and only then, may we continue to produce the credible content our audience has come to rely on. UNIVISION WORKFORCE DIVERSITY BY BAND HISPANICS IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS 12 Workforce | Diversity ACCELERATING ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL GROWTH Univision has designed and implemented a myriad of programs to promote professional development. Many of our team members started their careers participating in one of our many internship programs across the country. This diverse group includes some of the nation’s top students who join us to study various aspects of the industry and develop skills in their chosen specialty. Meanwhile, some of Univision’s most dedicated and valuable team members — Univision's executive assistants — are empowered and encouraged 2015 SUMMER INTERNSHIP METRICS to work across the organization to promote collaboration and leadership inside and outside of Univision. From up-and-coming interns to VPs of every race and gender, promising professionals at Univision are encouraged to reach their full potential through an organized leadership development initiative, which has graduated more than 200 people in four years. We are proud of our legacy in playing a major role in the professional development of our people. Employee Development Tools: Univision Internship Program Executive Assistant Development Leadership Development Program Finance Rotation Sales Rotation General Manager Rotation Learning Central Tuition Reimbursement 13 EMPLOYEE IMPACT GROUPS Founded on the notion that being one’s true self in the workplace is a right, not a privilege, Univision provides unique development opportunities for everyone EMERGE MILLENNIALS ORGULLO/LGBTA Through launch events in key markets, we recruited hundreds to our progressive millennial employee network — a group founded in the fall of 2015 to deliver strategic thought leadership and a fresh perspective on work culture to the entire company, through the voice of our next generation of leaders. In addition, eMERGE looks beyond Univision’s walls to lend a hand in our local communities, focusing on volunteering time and expertise to help Hispanic teens and young adults on their paths to future success. With active members, Orgullo promotes individual and collective growth for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees — plus the first-ever guidelines to support those transitioning gender. In addition to supporting LGBTA employees directly, the group represents Univision at events such as the NYC Pride March, promoting advances in equality and understanding within the Hispanic community at large. WOMEN’S DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Univision has developed specifically tailored programs to support women as they rise through the ranks. These reflect the company’s deeply held conviction that providing meaningful support and networking opportunities for women as they advance through the organization is crucial to the organization’s success. 2015 EVENTS First National Women's Academy: Workshops and Webinars: WLC Speaker Series: Winning Ways: How to build your professional brand and reputation in the workplace Co-presented by Smith College Executive Education for Women and WLC Graduated 40 women from across the company Bea Perez Chief Sustainability Officer, Coca-Cola Anna Maria Chavez Girl Scouts of the USA, CEO Cristina Saralegui Local Miami Chapter WLC Book Club: NY Chapter: “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed NY Chapter: “StrengthsFinder” by Tom Rath Miami Chapter: “What I Know For Sure,” by Oprah Winfrey Teaneck Book Club: “Brag!

WRITERS PROGRAMS Fostering Hispanic writers and highlighting skills and talents in media and tech outlets INCUBATOR PROGRAMS Promoting production and writing skills of emerging Latino media makers DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIPS Mentorship for multicultural and millennial writers across broadcast, film and digital 16 Workforce | Development 18 THE CONTENT WE DELIVER Providing access to vital news, information and culture all day, every day 19 INFLUENCE EARNED ONE STORY AT A TIME Empowering Latinos with access to news and information For more than 50 years, Univision News has provided a voice to communities that deserve to be heard. Over the years, the journalists of Univision's national and local newscasts have earned the trust of an entire population by working tirelessly to put both global and local stories into a cultural context — providing the relevant, vital information the community needs and cannot find elsewhere. Univision’s newsgathering teams guide, explain, simplify, and fight hard to represent and be the voice of the community they serve. From daily challenges related to the school system to lifelong concerns like immigration, family, faith, and finances, Univision does whatever it takes to deliver the news that matters to millions of people who depend on these reports every single day. This award-winning team knows that beyond simply reporting the facts, their community depends on their insights, vigilance and the power of their news organization to shed light on the issues that matter most. “We can’t change the world, but we can tell stories that matter... stories that make a difference.” MARÍA ELENA SALINAS ANCHOR, NOTICIAS UNIVISION 20 Content | News & Information 21 SERVICE-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING ENTRE EL ABANDONO Y EL RECHAZO “Between Abandonment and Rejection” is a one-hour special, created by Univision News and led by Univision News anchor María Elena Salinas, exploring the dramatic exodus of Central American children to the U.S.. The special has won a Peabody Award, an Emmy Award for Outstanding Newscast or News Magazine in Spanish, a Walter Cronkite Award for Achievement in National Investigative Journalism, and a Gracie Award for Outstanding Investigative Program or Feature. IDENTIDAD SIN FRONTERAS “Crossing Over” is a GLAAD award-winning documentary produced in collaboration with Pivot that focuses on Immigration and Identity. The program follows three transgender women who left Mexico and made new lives in Los Angeles. AL PUNTO “To the Point” is Univision’s Sunday morning public affairs program where Latinos can hear about the political and news issues of the day that are of particular interest to their community and the nation. ESTAMOS CON LOS NIÑOS “We Are With The Children” gave audiences the opportunity to support nonprofit organizations providing humanitarian relief and assistance to children fleeing life-threatening violence and extreme hardship in Central America. PSAs and special programming generated more than 91 million impressions and helped raise more than $1.5 million for children in need from the generous support of our audience and philanthropic partners.. 22 Content | News & Information AQUÍ Y AHORA Aqui y Ahora is the longest running weekly newsmagazine on Spanish-Language television that goes beyond the headlines to tell in-depth, exclusive stories of human drama that are of special interest to Hispanic viewers, whether about people in the news, entertainment or sports fields, in a way that reveals not just the facts, but the emotional side as well. LA MESA In the “At The Table” news segment, Los Angeles anchor León Krauze tells the often-overlooked, real-life stories of ordinary members of the Latino community. Armed with his camera, microphone and a simple folding table, the beloved journalist turns his focus on deeply moving, true-life accounts of the struggles and triumphs of daily life in Hispanic America. ESTADO CRÍTICO “Critical Condition” is a long-form documentary and digital special focusing on Hispanic access to healthcare. As the nation prepared for significant changes in healthcare with the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Univision News explored the current state of healthcare for Hispanics and the impact of the ACA in a special program produced by its award-winning Documentary Unit. The special took viewers on a highly informative journey to discover why Latinos face so many challenges trying to get access to insurance and healthcare, and what the ACA means for the Hispanic population. ACA TOWN HALLS Univision organized three one-hour televised Town Hall specials to explain the Affordable Care Act and its implications to our audience. Tu Salud y La Nueva Ley featured President Obama in Washington, D.C., and nonpartisan coverage aimed at informing the community about the program’s rollout. 23 LATINO CULTURE LIVES HERE Bomba Estereo and Will Smith perform their single "Fiesta" at the 16th Annual Latin GRAMMY® Awards Celebrating Latino culture from sports to music The impact of Latino culture in America began long before a single word of English was ever uttered in this part of the world. The Spanish language and Hispanic culture are so deeply embedded into our country that, at some point, Latino culture and American culture became hard to distinguish. Nonetheless, for every crossover act like Ricky Martin and Sofia Vergara, there are dozens of wildly popular artists that never find their way to English-language media in the U.S. From music to sports, Univision plays a major role in supporting these artists and athletes who elevate the community and its beloved traditions. Univision’s spectacular music specials regularly outperform their English-language counterparts in terms of production values, ratings and social engagement because Hispanic audiences expect and appreciate quality content from Univision. Meanwhile, Univision Sports has bet big on fútbol, ensuring that millions upon millions of American sports fans see their passion come to life on screens across the country. +6,000 99 3 HOURS OF SPORTS CONTENT AIRED EMMY® AWARDS EARNED MAJOR MUSIC TENTPOLE EVENTS “As the economic, political and cultural impact of Hispanic Americans continues to grow, we are proud to continue to be a beloved and trusted brand for our community. Our audience not only tunes in to watch our content, but they invite us into their homes, their families and their lives.” JESSICA RODRIGUEZ EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. HE’S BIGGER THAN TAYLOR SWIFT Romeo Santos is a frequent guest on Univision’s music specials and talk shows, but you wouldn't know it if you only consume English-language media. You might say he’s the biggest megastar that many media companies haven't discovered. As of Februrary 2016, and according to YouTube’s music insight data, Romeo Santos ranks No. 1 in total views with over 8 billion. That’s more than Taylor Swift (6.8 billion), Justin Bieber (5.9 billion), One Direction (5.1 billion) and Beyoncé (4.6 billion). THE NEXT BIG THING IS ALREADY HERE Soccer in America has taken hold and Univision is the company providing the content that today’s American sports fan craves. Our Liga MX matches on UDN out-delivered Major League Baseball on TBS, NBA on NBA TV, NHL on NBCSN. LOOKING AHEAD MORE INCLUSIVE THAN EVER With the growth of Fusion and Flama and the recent acquisitions of The Root and The Onion, Univision is expanding upon its legacy of reflecting a broad diversity of content. We are investing in delivering even more multicultural content to more people, on more platforms. It’s a way to ensure America’s diverse population continues to have access to inclusive content that reflects their interests and points of view. 24 Content | Culture 26 THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE Developing programs and tools that make progress accessible 27 UNIVISION CONTIGO MOBILIZING SUPPORT ON A MASSIVE SCALE As the U.S. population has grown, so has Univision — and after over 50 years of connecting our audience to their roots through on-the-ground information and entertainment, we enjoy a relationship of trust and respect unmatched by any media outlet in corporate America. With such responsibility on our hands, we truly had only one option: to continue marching forward, pushing ourselves and placing focus on responding to the needs of our audience and their families. Enter Univision Contigo. Created in partnership with leading experts, organizations and foundations, Univision Contigo seeks to promote awareness and provide access to resources in the areas most critical to our community — Education, Health, Prosperity, and Civic Participation. By guiding our over 49 million monthly unduplicated media consumers toward college readiness and completion, improved fitness and well-being, financial literacy and entrepreneurship, and citizenship and civic influence, U.S. Hispanics are empowered to take immediate action to meet the goals they’ve set for themselves. Our efforts support Latinos as they navigate two cultures, raise happy and healthy families and explore the opportunities that help them thrive – and that’s all the reward we could ask for EDUCATION HEALTH PROSPERITY CIVIC PARTICIPATION 28 Univision Contigo 29 30 Univision Contigo | Educación EDUCATION FROM PRE-SCHOOL TO POST-GRAD, LIFELONG LEARNING HELPS LATINOS RISE From early brain development through college readiness, Univision gives U.S. Hispanics the tools they need to succeed We understand that children are the key to our future. And as the largest and fastest-growing minority group in grade school, it’s not a stretch to say that Hispanic children in particular will hold much of this responsibility. It’s a tall order, and to ensure they can all rise to the challenge, it’s vital that we, as adults, consistently provide the right educational opportunities. At Univision, that starts with Univision Contigo. As America’s longest-running educational public service campaign, the Univision Contigo Educación initiative exists to bring awareness to the importance of education, as well as put valuable tools and resources into the hands of parents and children alike. 31 THE IMPERATIVE: HISPANICS AND EDUCATION BY THE NUMBERS Univision Contigo | Educación Built upon the singular relationship we enjoy with Hispanic families, Univision inspires parents and students to achieve their potential through a variety of dynamic educational initiatives. From grassroots to the national stage, multiple elements are deployed, including workshops, fairs, PSAs, in-show integrations and informational segments, original programming, and more. Univision Network talent and spouses support Univision Contigo’s “Pequeños y Valiosos” (Young and Valuable) campaign.

UNIVISION’S EDUCATION INITIATIVES CONTIGO EDUCACIÓN SEMANA DE LA EDUCACIÓN PEQUEÑOS Y VALIOSOS CLAVE AL ÉXITO AVANZAMOS CONECTADOS #QUIEROAPRENDER BECAS UNIVISION ¡ESTUDIA, HAY DINERO! 32 THE UNIVISION RESPONSE: 33 A LIFETIME OF LEARNING, MADE POSSIBLE IN SEVEN DAYS SEMANA DE LA EDUCACIÓN With the help of educators, key civic and community members, and our more than 3,800 employees at Univision, Education Week is taking strides towards our vision: enabling Latinos to achieve their educational ambitions It all started with one week in 2011. One week in which, at the prompting of Univision and its multiplatform national reach, thousands of Hispanic families around the United States had a crucial priority on their minds: education. Since then, Education Week has become an award-winning annual mainstay, inspiring several initiatives with the same objective. Our fifth installation, Education Week 2015, brought education events to high schools Workshops for parents in Chicago and universities in seven U.S. cities with significant Hispanic populations. From town halls and education workshops to phone banks and college fairs, thousands of families had the opportunity to ask questions and learn from some of the nation’s top educators, experts and celebrities. Meanwhile, countless stories and segments were featured across Univision’s news and entertainment networks and local programs. Book distribution during Education Week in Los Angeles An education-themed televised town hall event “We know that access to quality education is paramount to success. We are committed to taking that message to millions of Hispanic households by leveraging the depth and reach of the Univision media portfolio.” IVELISSE ESTRADA SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. 13 LOCAL STATIONS hosted phone banks to answer questions on education 40K + ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED at Univision education fairs nationwide 7 U.S. CITIES benefited from free education fairs LOCAL EDUCATION FAIRS In multiple markets across the country, education-themed grassroots events provide critical information and resources for a broad cross section of the community. These large-scale fairs, often drawing more than 20,000 attendees, help multiple generations of the community navigate the educational system by connecting families with more than 100 nonprofit organizations focused on everything from pre-K to graduate studies. Each year, more than 50,000 books are gifted to local children with the support of donors like the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles and the Molina Foundation. 34 Univision Contigo | Educación 35 ENCOURAGING EARLY BRAIN DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SIMPLE INTERACTIONS PEQUEÑOS Y VALIOSOS Young and Valuable campaign proves 15 minutes a day is a beautiful start Univision’s Roberto Llamas, Too Small to Fail Leadership councilmember Cindy McCain and Univision News anchor Enique Acevedo read to a group of children at the Chicanos Por La Causa Community Center in Arizona Who doesn’t enjoy the pleasures of interacting with their children — particularly after learning it supports brain development? Once we heard of a recent study in which 15 minutes of uninterrupted talking, reading, counting, or singing a day helps young children develop quicker and be better prepared for school, we knew we had to share it with the world. In partnership with Too Small to Fail and the Bezos Family Foundation, Univision’s month-long Pequeños y Valiosos multiplatform campaign mobilized thousands of Hispanic parents and grandparents to pledge at least 15 of these valuable minutes to their children every day. We also provided positive messages to boost early brain development for 150,000 Hispanic families with children under age five. Through online and text-messaging platforms, materials, and tools, these messages spark brain-building moments in everyday routines, including interactions that improve early language, literacy, numeracy and social-emotional development. Univision Contigo | Educación A DIGITAL GUIDE FOR PARENTS PACKED WITH TOOLS 36 CLAVE AL ÉXITO With a wealth of educational information at their fingertips, parents of students in pre-K through high school now hold the Key to Success Screenshot from the grade-by-grade parents' guide Many parents rely on teachers to understand their children’s progress in school — but for those who speak Spanish exclusively, that may not be an option. That’s why Univision, with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, developed Clave al Éxito, an innovative website that offers Spanish-speaking family members a grade-by-grade guide on what to expect for their child’s education. With tools and resources to support every stage of learning, parents are empowered to track their children’s progress and even communicate with English-speaking teachers through a unique letter-generating tool. Additionally, Clave al Éxito offers specific resources for parents of children who are learning English or have disabilities. With this key to success, U.S. Spanish-speaking families are better prepared to help their children reach college — and beyond. 37 CLOSING THE HOMEWORK GAP AVANZAMOS CONECTADOS Connected, We Advance: Homework-connectivity awareness campaign Much of the homework assigned in today’s schools relies on access to the Internet — but for many Hispanic families in the U.S., the cost is too high for a home connection. To bring awareness of programs that offer broadband Internet plans and computers at low prices for low-income families, Univision created Avanzamos Conectados. With just a text message or a quick online search, families can now harness the educational benefits of the Internet without breaking the budget. The program was created in partnership with Common Sense Media and powered by EveryoneOn. EMPOWERING STUDENT VOICES #QUIEROAPRENDER The #IWantToLearn student movement Increasingly, U.S. Hispanic students are asking for more: more access, more opportunities, more results. To help these students overcome school and community challenges and realize these dreams, Univision in partnership with XQ Institute created #QuieroAprender — a movement that is uniting the voices of thousands of students who want to learn and succeed. In nationwide rallies led by Emmy Award–winning Despierta América cohost Satcha Pretto, students discussed educational experiences, aspirations and ways to advocate for a better outcome. 38 Univision Contigo | Educación Univision’s Satcha Pretto with students from Glendale High School in Glendale, Arizona during the #QuieroAprender Tour 39 HELPING OUR YOUNG AND BRIGHTEST PAY FOR COLLEGE BECAS UNIVISION Univision’s scholarship program 143 SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED $1.2 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Jorge Ramos presents two academic scholarships at Premios Juventud For many Hispanic high school seniors, a good GPA doesn’t always equate to attending college. At Univision, we thought it was time to change that. Since 2012, our Becas Univision initiative has awarded more than $1.2 million and 85 scholarships to deserving students around the nation — and we’re not stopping there. Each year, Univision and our partner, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), reward students of Hispanic origin who demonstrate outstanding academic achievements, extracurricular activities and the ability to overcome obstacles. In addition, we have provided annual scholarships to Hispanic students since 2004 as a part of Premios Juventud, the popular award show honoring Spanish-language pop culture. And as a founding member of the PRSA Foundation's PRIME program, we support efforts to attract minorities to thriving careers in media and entertainment. "I want to do something meaningful for the world." GLORIA CASTAÑEDA UNIVISION SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT CURRENTLY ATTENDING YALE UNIVERSITY Univision Contigo | Educación ¡ESTUDIA, HAY DINERO! There’s Money to Study! awareness campaign for student aid Much of the $150 billion available in federal student aid goes unclaimed every year. While college enrollment among U.S. Hispanics is steadily improving, the high costs of higher education prevent many students from even trying. To teach these students how they can afford to learn, Univision launched There’s Money to Study!, a month-long campaign in which Univision’s broadcast and cable networks, local TV and radio, and digital and social platforms promoted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Through an exclusive interview with First Lady Michelle Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a comprehensive informational website, workshops and phone banks in 11 key Hispanic markets, as well as a convenient text-message hotline, we reached and directly helped students and their families successfully complete the FAFSA — leading to grants, student loans and work study programs. In addition, we partnered with the Get Schooled Foundation to award $1,000 scholarships to 10 lucky winners of our social media sweepstakes, in which students helped raise awareness by tweeting with the hashtag #FAFSA. JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT Our commitment to Junior Achievement runs the gamut from educational events held at Univision offices to direct donations and employee-organized fundraising. During Univision Job Shadow Days, dozens of students visit with executives for four hours where they learn about the business and receive information regarding internship opportunities at the company. Throughout the year, we sponsored fundraising efforts including golf tournaments, dinners and even a Bowl-a-Thon, where employees raised more than $90,000 to support financial literacy programs for K-12 students. BALLET HISPÁNICO Univision is a key partner of Ballet Hispánico, the nation’s leading Latino dance organization since 1970. We help the organization bring its local and national performances to as large an audience as possible, thus sharing the beauty of the arts and Latino culture with all communities. Ballet Hispánico’s repertory features choreographers that represent a multitude of nationalities and its En Familia series offers a 90-minute journey through Latin American dance and culture curated specifically for children and families at an affordable price point. The partnership includes media appearances, promos and the inclusion of Univision talent as event co-hosts. FRIDA KAHLO AT THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDENS When one of Latino culture's most revered artists was celebrated at The New York Botanical Gardens this past year, Univision was there to support the effort. Fourteen original Kahlo works were presented along with a stunning recreation of Kahlo’s famed garden and studio at the Casa Azul, her lifelong home in Mexico City. More than 525,000 visitors made it the highest attended exhibition in the Garden’s history and more than 35,000 school children participated in related educational programs. 40 HELPING QUALIFIED STUDENTS ACCESS BILLIONS IN AID 42 Univision Contigo | Health HEALTH OPENING THE DOORS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS To help U.S. Hispanics truly live their best lives, Univision raises awareness and organizes the community around a variety of wellness initiatives, with a special focus on children in need To close the gap between a healthy, full-functioning society and a low quality of life, direct access to healthcare is key. Beginning in 2013, Univision has sought to help U.S. Hispanics understand how to achieve this, and improve the health of their families through several major multiplatform initiatives. Tools such as our comprehensive website Univision Salud, allow U.S. Hispanics to enjoy reliable, up-to-date medical information and resources the moment they need them. Together with our commitment to nutrition and health screenings, our audience is successfully taking control of their own health and that of their families. 43 THE IMPERATIVE: HISPANICS AND HEALTH BY THE NUMBERS Univision Contigo | Health A multitude of health and wellness initiatives have been developed by Univision to ensure that its communities have the information (and motivation) to live long, thriving lives. Whether it’s a daily challenge to improve nutrition and encourage exercise or a yearly fundraising push for those who need help the most, the media brands of Univision serve as a catalyst for a variety of programs that bring real change to the well-being of an entire population.

No one likes to feel unhealthy, but not everyone has the tools to make a change. Health Week brings this knowledge to the forefront of the Hispanic community. In partnership with the California Endowment, Ford Foundation, and Scan Foundation Univision’s third annual Health Week reached millions of viewers with first-hand health and wellness information via TV, radio and digital media. Through Camino a la Salud (The Road to Health), a week-long health tour that visited 12 cities we reached more than 32,000 people, providing 10,000 with free health screenings. These local events offered free screenings, fitness activities, and nutritional cooking demonstrations. Some also educated women on the Affordable Care Act, STD and pregnancy prevention, support for young mothers, and insurance options for undocumented women. “Part of the American dream is having a healthy life and family. We will do everything we can to inform and empower Hispanic America with tools, programs, events and products that address their specific health and wellness needs so that they can achieve that dream.” ROBERTO RUIZ EXECUIVE VICE PRESIDENT STRATEGY & INSIGHTS UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC.

Despierta America's Ximena Cordoba on the set of a Reto28 public service announcement RETO28 Challenge 28: Our 28-day nutritional diet plan and fitness challenge As a part of Health Week, Univision launched an interactive challenge called Reto28 to bolster the health and wellness of the Hispanic community. Developed by Dr. Juan Rivera, nutritionist Sabrina Hernandez Cano and Latin chef Doreen Colondres, the challenge centered on a digital tool that provided a free 28-day diet and exercise plan. Extensive media support from Univision News, Univision Contigo and social media encouraged 342,000 people nationwide to register for the challenge in June 2015. Additionally, Dr. Rivera, Johns Hopkins University and the American Heart Association are measuring the program’s results and identifying trends to determine the best way to serve the health information needs of Hispanics — particularly those without regular access to a medical professional. CAMBIA TU NÚMERO Our “Change Your Number” 28-day tool challenged our audience to determine their health score, then take steps to help improve it through tailored advice on diet, exercise and stress control. 48 Univision Contigo | Health Chef Doreen Colondres created a 28 day menu to accompany the Reto28 wellness program 49 A HOMEGROWN PROJECT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITIES TELETÓN USA The coast-to-coast broadcast telethon extravaganza that built a rehab center for kids in need Univision broadcasted our fourth and largest TeletónUSA event live from Los Angeles. After thirty hours on the air, viewers had donated $15.7 million toward a second Children’s Rehabilitation Institute of TeletónUSA (CRIT USA), which aids neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. Featuring a pantheon of Hispanic stars and live cut-ins from around the continent, TelétonUSA kept audiences captivated. And with the heartwarming stories of families’ journeys to receive treatment at the first CRIT USA in San Antonio, Texas, viewers took to social media to share their own photos and experiences using #MomentoDeActuar. Singer Luis Coronel visits with the children receiving treatment at CRIT USA in San Antonio, Texas 15.7 MILLION DOLLARS RAISED IN 2015 320K DONORS FROM ALL 50 STATES TeletonUSA’s CRITUSA is located in San Antonio, Texas.

Over more than 30 hours, popular Univision on-air personalities and Spanish-language artists spoke with fans about the hospital’s devotion to treating and defeating life-threatening childhood diseases, including cancer. Ultimately, we raised $3.5 million for the cause. By simply pledging to donate $20 a month, listeners earned their titles as Ángeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope), as well as the gratification that their contributions ensure no St. Jude patient ever has to pay for treatment, travel, housing or food.

So they, in turn, improve America At Univision, we recognized how much our Hispanic community could benefit from the chance to understand the complicated inner workings of personal finances and professional entrepreneurship — so we teamed up with the U.S. Small Business Administration to lay the groundwork for U.S. Hispanic financial success. Our Prosperity initiative promotes financial literacy, building assets, and celebrating and advancing our inherent entrepreneurial spirit. Through a series of informative events, families across the country learned to set goals, manage finances, rely less on loans, save money, protect themselves from debt, and understand helpful services from financial institutions. They’re on their way to achieving the dreams they came here for — one step at a time. 55 THE IMPERATIVE: HISPANICS AND PROSPERITY BY THE NUMBERS Univision Contigo | Prosperity Univision has created and implemented a broad range of initiatives that uniquely serve the desire of Latinos to contribute to their personal prosperity and, in turn, to the collective prosperity of America.
