TRH The Prince and Princess of Asturias met with the members of the Boards of Trustees of the Prince of Asturias Foundation at the Royal Palace in Madrid on Tuesday 10th June at 6:00pm.
A detailed report on the work carried out throughout the year was presented during the meeting, as well as a report on the financial situation and assets of the Foundation, which has ended the year with positive net income and a similar level of expenditure to that of the previous year. The overall expenditure of the Foundation in 2013 reached the sum of 5.28 million euros.
The institution’s Annual Report, which contains figures and information related to the activities carried out throughout the year, was presented to the members of the Boards of Trustees during the meeting. The most significant activities comprise the granting and presentation of the Prince of Asturias Awards and the arrangements for the cultural week held during those days, including twenty-one events attended by around 14,000 people. A report will also be given on the work of the Music Department, which organized more than thirty concerts by the Foundation’s choirs, master classes and a new edition of the International Music School Summer Courses, which were opened under the presidency of HRH The Princess of Asturias and attended by over 150 students of eight different nationalities.
In terms of sustainability, the global CO2 emissions from the activities organized by the Foundation on the occasion of the Prince of Asturias Awards Ceremony experienced an overall reduction of 114 tons between 2011 and 2013. This commitment has resulted in the 2013 Prince of Asturias Awards having been awarded the Zero CO2 emissions Eco-label.
