Leader in book publishing, education, information, and audiovisual entertainment.
Grupo Planeta is a multinational group with entirely family-owned capital, employing more than 15,000 people and operating in 25 countries across four continents. In 1949, José Manuel Lara Hernández founded Editorial Planeta in Barcelona, the seed of what is now Grupo Planeta.
The Group is chaired by José Creuheras and offers a wide range of services to society and culture through book publishing, information, education, and audiovisual entertainment, connecting daily with more than 50 million people.
It has 70 publishing imprints, 64 bookstores, 22 educational institutions, 6 television channels, 3 radio stations, and a film production and distribution company. Grupo Planeta, the undisputed leader in its fields of operation, works daily to provide people with the tools they need—through its products and services—to better face their personal and professional challenges, while also contributing to the development of a more cultured, prosperous, and tolerant society.
Undoubtedly, a society that reads, is well-informed, and is educated is better prepared to seize opportunities and face the future. Moreover, Grupo Planeta is highly committed to environmental respect, sustainability, and social responsibility through the actions it undertakes in the various sectors in which it operates.
