2.2.2.2.
Local Economic, Social
and Cultural Development
Vivendi strives to assess its contribution to the development of the
territories in which it operates through the indirect jobs it helps to create,
through its supply chain, and through its partnerships with civil society.
2.2.2.2.1. Indirect Jobs
Owing to the variety of jobs and geographic locations represented by
the group, each subsidiary has used its own methodology for estimating
the number of indirect jobs created (see Methodology Note, Section 5.1).
During 2014, it is estimated that the group’s subsidiaries sustained nearly
90,000 indirect jobs. These are upstream jobs within the industry: supply
chain (see Section 2.2.4); downstream commercial services (distributors,
resellers, call centers); jobs in real estate services; jobs in related
commercial services, excluding temporary jobs (such as legal advisers,
insurance, banking and catering).

2.2.2.2.2. Contribution to Local Economies
The group has analyzed the purchases made with suppliers and
subcontractors accounting for at least 75% of the overall expenditure
of each of the subsidiaries (see Section 2.2.4). More than 80% of the
purchases made by Canal+ Group, UMG and GVT are made from local
suppliers.
To better assess the impact of the supply chain on the local economy, a
breakdown by geographic area and by category (raw materials, finished
products, professional services, content and other) is under review.

2.2.2.2.3. Partnerships with Civil Society
Since 2008, at a corporate level, Vivendi has supported social initiatives
for disadvantaged young people through its Create Joy program. With
a steady budget since its creation, this program enables young people
in difficult circumstances to develop by working as part of joint cultural
projects associated with the group’s businesses, including film-making,
training in digital tools, music appreciation and similar projects. In 2014,
Create Joy supported nearly 40 charitable projects in France, Great
Britain, the United States, and Africa, benefitting more than 100,000
young people.

The subsidiaries implement their own solidarity and philanthropic
programs.
Canal+ Group, which has maintained a unique connection with the
cinema industry since its creation, supports the French organization Les
Toiles enchantées (which travels around France offering films showing on
the big screen free of charge to children and young people in hospital or
handicapped) and Ensemble contre la récidive (with the production and
airing of a documentary on soccer in prison, showcasing the work by this
association). The budget reduction from 2013 to 2014 is a consequence of
the planned reduction in financial assistance from the Canal+ Foundation
for Cinema to cinema owners.

In Africa, among other projects, the Senegalese subsidiary actively
participates in promoting and training young filmmakers during
the
Moussa Invites
festival run by filmmaker Moussa Touré. In
addition, the
Kindia 2015
editorial project, which was set up in 2012
by the Canal+ Documentary department, continued in 2014 (see
Section 2.1.2).
UMG undertakes numerous community support, partnership and
philanthropic initiatives. These initiatives are carried out by each
company within its country or region. Many of these initiatives are
designed to help young people achieve their full potential through music
or provide assistance to persons in difficulty.

In the United Kingdom, UMG has entered into a partnership
agreement with East London Arts & Music (ELAM), a new free school
for young people between the ages of 16 and 19 whose curriculum
makes music and the creative industries the focus of the education of
young people to enable the expression of their artistic talent.
