Protecting minors The protection of minors is a
priority for Vivendi, which endeavors to assess the potential impact of its
offerings of content and services on young audiences. All the group’s
business units are mobilized around this issue and work in close
collaboration with Vivendi’s Sustainable Development department.
Promoting
cultural
diversity The UNESCO Convention
on Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions
recognizes that cultural diversity “is a mainspring of the sustainable
development of communities, peoples, and nations.” Sharing that vision,
Vivendi has defined promotion of cultural diversity as one of its specific
areas of concern and is pursuing three main objectives: encouraging
creation in all its diversity; contributing to strengthening production
capacities by discovering and promoting local talent; preserving and
disseminating our cultural heritage.
Sharing knowledge
“Sharing knowledge” refers to Vivendi’s
ambition to meet the following objectives: The demand for quality and
pluralism of content; raising public awareness of the importance of
sustainable development; promotion of dialogue between cultures.
New
uses New modes of access
to content are multiplying (video on demand, the Internet, mobile
telephony, mobile television, etc.), creating new habits on the part of
consumers, and content itself is also diversifying. The impact of the new
uses enabled by convergence of communication networks is a subject Vivendi
is studying with the aid of a network of experts within civil society to
better understand the differing points of view.
