Since 2008, Vivendi has supported social initiatives for disadvantaged
young people through its Create Joy program. With a constant budget
since its creation, this program enables young people in difficult
circumstances to develop and achieve shared cultural projects with the
Group’s businesses: e.g., film screenings, training in the use of digital
tools, introduction to opera. In 2012, Create Joy supported over 30
charitable projects in France, the United Kingdom, the United States,
Brazil, Morocco, Mali and Burkina Faso.
The Group’s subsidiaries are also engaged in this philanthropic approach,
here are some examples:
✱ Canal+ Group offers financial, personnel, and publishing support to
numerous organizations: Canal+ Fondation for cinema, Flying Doctors,
Solidarité Sida Afrique (an AIDS not-for-profit), Les Toiles Enchantées,
Sidaction , Flamme Marie Claire, and Ecole de la Cité du Cinéma. With
its innovative social interest project “Kindia 2015”, Canal+ Group
supports and films, on the field in Guinea, not-for-profit organizations
working for human development. This initiative includes directing
and broadcasting documentary movies as well as setting up an
endowment fund.
✱ In 2012, Activision Blizzard donated $6.3 million to Call of Duty
Endowment. This is a public-interest, not-for-profit entity, created
by Activision Blizzard in October 2009, aimed at helping US Army
veterans to reintegrate in the US job market.
✱ Fondation SFR launched the second successive year of a call for digital
solidarity projects for elderly people. The purpose is to encourage
charitable projects whereby new technologies help the daily life
of elderly people. These projects may be based on creating or
maintaining social interaction, the development of inter-generational
links and personal independence. In addition, the Téléphonie Solidaire
program was born from a partnership between SFR and Emmaüs Défi ,
which started as an experiment in the spring of 2010 and currently
has approximately 2,500 beneficiaries. People in difficulty are provided
with a mobile phone so they can remain in contact with friends and
relatives, call potential employers, or look for housing, if necessary.
SFR’s commitment to Emmaüs Défi comes in the form of financial
support and the contribution of employees’ skills.
Vivendi is committed to increasing the corporate responsibility awareness
of its main suppliers and subcontractors on societal, social and
environmental issues. Accordingly, the subsidiaries intend to involve their
suppliers in implementing the Group’s commitments in this area. Vivendi’s
Compliance Program includes systematic reminders to suppliers of their
undertaking to provide services complying with the Group’s commercial
and social ethical standards. Vivendi has signed the UN Global Compact
and promotes its ten principles within its sphere of influence. In 2012, SFR
and Maroc Telecom also signed the UN Global Compact.
