4.1.1. Protecting and Empowering Young People
In 2003, Vivendi defined one of its three strategic issues as protecting
and empowering young people (please refer to AR 2013 Section 1.1.1.
p. 48). In 2008, by adopting the Data and Content Protection Charter, the
Group has undertaken to respect the freedom of expression while also
preventing the spread of unlawful material, particularly with regard to
children.
To achieve this balance, Vivendi undertakes to:
promote techniques for choosing or controlling content
(filtering systems and other selection methods);
actively cooperate with the competent authorities against
the spread of unlawful material;
promote ethical standards and guidelines on which the Group builds
its future; and
promote parents’ and children’s awareness of new media uses.
The commitments contained in this Charter have been taken for and on
behalf of all the Group’s subsidiaries. Vivendi takes steps to ensure that
its commercial partners comply with the values and rules of conduct
in this Charter in all countries in which its subsidiaries operate.
