Our societal commitments

Our priority: inspiring change through culture

Culture is simultaneously a corner stone of life in society and an essential way for each of us to break free from our current circumstances and aspire to a better life.

By investing massively in its content, Vivendi is committed to supporting ambitious and multi-faceted creation. This will be possible by giving as many people as possible access to a diversified and inventive offer, so that everyone can live their life with purpose, broaden their horizons and acquire the skills to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Stepping up our actions to facilitate access to culture for as many people as possible

True to its raison d’être, Creation Unlimited, Vivendi strives to ensure that everyone has access to a varied and inventive cultural offering that acts as a vehicle for empowerment and social cohesion, by leveraging the diversity of its businesses and the appeal of its content.

The Vivendi Foundation, created in 2023 to promote access to culture for as many people as possible, has strengthened the Group’s philanthropic commitment. To carry out its mission, the Foundation offers programs based on two priority areas of intervention: access to culture and access to cultural professions.

The Vivendi Foundation develops four programs to promote equal opportunities in the cultural sphere: Create Joy (France), Create Joy Pro (Europe) as well as Orphée and Canal+ University (Africa).

Fostering the emergence of positive impact content

As a global leader in culture, entertainment, media and communications, we have a real influence on the collective imagination and therefore, a strong responsibility towards our audiences.

It is our responsibility to be mindful of the impact of the messages and representations our content conveys, but also to support creativity and ideas that serve important causes.

We invest in impact-driven content that addresses key social issues and represents the diversity of our audiences. Our businesses can inspire change and call into action for a more sustainable world.
