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 4.4). 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.

Canal+ Group also contributes to economic development through the

training it gives to local employees (see also Section 5.5). For instance,

in 2014, the group pursued its training program for sales teams in Africa.

The program was structured around three main lines: internalizing the

training of trainers through the appointment of five “super trainers

”

entitled to operate on the African continent to meet the significant

training needs of the sales force; offering training sessions to twenty new

business managers (in addition to a hundred managers who are already

trainers); enhancing the skills of sector managers through the organization

of workshops on business fundamentals, the store visit methodology

and time management in all the group’s local subsidiaries. Besides,

Canal+ Group in Africa has also launched a technical installer training and

certification program: in 2014, 500 people benefited from this program

developed by Canal+ Africa, which currently has a network of about 1,500

certified technicians and aims to reach 2,000 by the end of 2015.

On the African continent, UMG, present in the territory through its South-

African subsidiary, plays an important role in the development of the local

musical ecosystem with numerous P&D (pressing and distribution) deals

or joint ventures entered into with small independent labels (there were

over 50 agreements of this type in 2014): agreements that enable the

labels to benefit from UMG know-how, infrastructure and distribution

networks, and have contributed to the on-going success of many

independent labels.

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 4.1.3.2).

In France, as part of its effort to support the arts and heritage,

Canal+ Group was the main patron of the François Truffaut exhibition

Cinémathèque française

, tracking this great New Wave filmmaker’s

career. Furthermore, in response to Canal+’s request, artist Xavier

Veilhan has produced a work comprising a monumental fresco and a

stage area that was exhibited in

Palais de Tokyo

, in Paris, to celebrate

the channel’s 30

anniversary.

Promoting media literacy and fostering the creativity of young

disabled Polish viewers is one objective pursued by nc+ through

“The Tale Without Barriers” workshops. For the operator, this

entailed asking blind and deaf children to create the characters and

scenery for a fairy tale that was then produced and distributed on

the MiniMini+ channel. The initiative, directed in partnership with

the Katarynka foundation, was sponsored by the Polish Ministry of

Culture and National Heritage.
