An Integrated Reporting Process Promoting Value Creation
Vivendi’s “Sphere of Influence” in Human Rights at the Center of the Group’s Value Creation
Vivendi is one of the rare multimedia groups to occupy a leadership
position across the entire value chain of content business.
Aware of the human and cultural influence that the group exerts over
millions of customers and citizens, Vivendi strives to define its specific
contribution to the respect for human rights through a direct link with its
content production and distribution business, thus putting into practice
one of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises: “Enterprises
should respect the internationally recognized human rights of those
affected by their activities” or the preamble to the UN Global Compact,
which encourages businesses to act in favor of human rights “in their
sphere of influence” (see table below).
