Vivendi

Jean-Bernard Lévy
Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer

As a world leader in communications, Vivendi’s contribution to sustainable development is vital. We have the responsibility to enable present and future generations to satisfy their need to communicate, nourish their curiosity, develop their talents, and share their ideas and experiences.

Our ambition is to accompany youth in their cultural and media practices while building a more secure digital world, promoting cultural diversity as a necessary manifestation of human dignity and a bedrock of social cohesion, and encouraging the sharing of knowledge in order to strengthen a spirit of openness towards others and mutual understanding.

We have engaged in this remarkable dynamic by conducting a stringent sustainable-development policy based on a vision of corporate responsibility that embraces all of its dimensions – economic, social, societal, and environmental.

We must also help our employees face technological challenges. To do so we must count on human capital (artists, directors, developers, engineers, etc.), working to attract and promote their talents , while ensuring respect for intellectual property, the very life force of our content activities. We need to provide our customers with innovative services and creative content while demonstrating the highest possible level of vigilance regarding the collection and processing of their personal data, in all the countries where we do business. Because our group is a major worldwide corporate player, seeking to conquer new markets, our commitment to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact facilitates the process of ensuring that all of our partners adhere to our requirements.

This sustainable development policy, nurtured and driven by the Management Board, furthers the performance of our group in its commitment to strong organic growth.
