To the environment Although its activities have only a limited environmental impact, Atresmedia has an Environmental Policy in place embodying its commitment to environmental protection. Atresmedia takes steps to ensure that its own activities have as little an impact as possible on the environment, but beyond that it also believes that it can help protect the environment by making society more aware of the issue and informing the public of the important role each of us plays in this process. Atresmedia therefore brings its considerable broadcasting outreach to bear across all of its communication channels. 2015 2016 2017 Investment in the environment (€) 111,481 120,495 140,082 Consumption of plain paper (kg) 27,566 26,813 25,275 Consumption of toner (units) 652 1,147 1,063 Consumption of heating oil (GJ) 18,742 18,436 16,861 Electricity consumption (GJ) 105,395 106,641 108,069 Gas consumption (GJ) 524 424 353 Petrol consumption for transport (GJ) 466 509 895 Diesel consumption for transport (GJ) 1,813 1,718 1,467 Note: the conversion factors used to convert units to GJ are shown in table A7.1 of the GHG Inventory Report published by MAPAMA and IDAE (Spanish Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings). | 168 |  7.
