Sustainability
During the second quarter of 2022, Televisa was ratified as a constituent of the S&P/BMV Total Mexico ESG Index, developed by S&P Dow Jones and the Mexican Stock Exchange. The index is designed to measure the performance of stocks
that meet certain sustainability criteria. It uses a rules-based selection criteria based on relevant environmental, social, and corporate governance principles to choose its constituents.
COVID-19 Impact
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic still had a negative effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and it is currently difficult to predict the degree of the
impact in the future.
We cannot guarantee that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become
constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings. In addition, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately reduce the demand for
our products across our segments as our clients and customers reduce or defer their spending.
Most non-essential economic activities are open. Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorities may again impose restrictions on non-essential activities, including but not limited to temporary shutdowns or additional guidelines, which could
be expensive or burdensome to implement, and which may affect our operations.
