receive great support from the Fira Com-
munication Area.
In 2015, moreover, the Guide to the Fira
de Barcelona General Archive (AGFB) was
distributed, having been edited in 2014.
This launched a new stage focused on
communicating and managing this docu-
mentary heritage comprising 25,000 differ-
ent documents conserved by the Studies
Service. The new phase was aimed at
forging relationships with other organisa-
tions, and cooperation and contacts were
established with several universities, muse-
ums and cultural and research centres.
The work began of cataloguing the
most important AGFB historical heritage
resources, with particular attention to
documents relating to the Barcelona In-
ternational Exposition of 1929 and historic
photographs (1888-1980).
The Studies Service also worked in
the field of market research and corporate
data.
Corporate Compliance
In 2015, Fira launched the development of
corporate compliance programme aimed
at drawing up a series of procedures and
good practices to prevent legal risks.
Under this programme, amongst the
first measures adopted were the establish-
ment of Compliance Officer, the approval
of a Code of Conduct setting out the prin-
cipals and rules governing the organisa-
tion, and the launch of a conduct channel.
These and other actions, all required
under the provisions of Law 9/2014, on
Transparency, Access to Public Informa-
tion and Good Governance approved
by the Parliament of Catalonia, will be
completed over the course of 2016.
Transparency, access to
information and good
governance: demands
made by society as a
whole.
Over the year, 8,400 journalists were accredited
