Indirect jobs
Through their activities in these three geographic regions, the different
subsidiaries of Vivendi Group generate approximately 400,000 indirect
jobs, i.e.:
jobs related to upstream industries: producers and the supply chain;
commercial services related to downstream industries: distributors,
resellers and call centers;
jobs in real estate services; and
jobs in related commercial services excluding temporary workers:
including legal advice, insurance, banking and restaurants.

In light of the variety of the Group’s businesses and geographic
locations, each subsidiary has used its own methodology to estimate
the number of indirect jobs created:
– the estimate provided by Canal+ Group consolidates the data for
France and relates to jobs generated by direct subcontractors,
channels published by third parties and distributed by CanalSat,
as well as French film and sports productions, and in 2013,
for the first time, includes the African countries where the
Group operates. Thus, in the countries where Canal+ Group
has subsidiaries, the employees of distributors and the jobs
of subcontractors (installation of satellite dishes, charging
points, sales outlets, logistics warehouses and call centers) are
considered indirect jobs. In the countries where Canal+ has no
subsidiaries, direct distributors’ jobs are also included.
– UMG used data provided by its suppliers (manufacturers and
distributors).
– similar to last year, GVT focused on its supply chain and used a
survey conducted by the Brazilian Institute for Applied Economic
Research (IPEA). This survey does not mention any specific
ratio of direct to indirect jobs in telecommunications services.
GVT calculated an average of the ratios of four service sectors
(public utilities, communications, businesses and family), which
it then revised downward due to the inclusion of call center
teams in its workforce, which are usually excluded. With nearly
18,000 employees at year-end 2013, GVT estimates that it
created 63,000 indirect jobs, applying a ratio of 1 to 3.5.
– SFR based its data on a survey conducted in 2012 for the French
Telecommunications Federation (FFT, survey by Arthur De Little),
which provides an estimate of the total number of direct and
indirect jobs created by telecom operators in France. SFR’s share
of the mobile market (29.2% in the second half of 2013) has been
applied to a total of approximately 170,000 indirect jobs, giving
an estimate of approximately 50,000 indirect jobs created in
France by SFR.
– to estimate the number of indirect jobs locally created, Maroc
Telecom added together an estimate of the number of jobs
attributable to indirect sales (estimate based on the average
number of jobs according to type of sales, outlet and on the
number of retailers estimated at year-end 2013) and the number
of indirect jobs attributable to subcontracting (service provisions
recorded by the Administrative and Facilities department).
Maroc Telecom’s subsidiaries have also used various methods to
create their own estimates, resulting in a total of approximately
117,000 indirect jobs created in Burkina Faso, Gabon, Mali and
Mauritania.
Contribution to local economies
The Vivendi Group has a significant economic impact through purchases
made from local suppliers. More than 80% of the purchases of Canal+,
UMG, GVT and SFR and more than half the purchases of Maroc Telecom
are from local suppliers.

In addition, Vivendi helps to make the territories more dynamic through
partnerships with public authorities within the framework of job creation
programs in areas experiencing economic pressure.
