An Integrated Reporting Process Promoting Value Creation
Vivendi’s “Sphere of Influence” in Human Rights at the Center of the Group’s Value Creation
Linking the “core” CSR issues to human rights allows the group to
integrate this vigilance into its governance (extra-financial reporting,
information verification work on the part of its auditors, inclusion of these
issues in the variable compensation of senior executives) and its strategy
(see Chapter 2, Section 1 of the Annual Report 2015). In 2015, this policy
was entered on the agenda of the Vivendi Audit Committee.
This requirement of transparency for economic players is increasingly
sought by the company’s stakeholders and expected pursuant to ever
stricter regulations and standards both at the national (Grenelle II),
or international (UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights;
European directive on non-financial information of large companies; GRI
guidelines including the Media Sector Supplement) levels.
Respect for all human rights is therefore a valuable corporate asset that
contributes fully to companies’ reputations and to their performance.
Whether this involves the increase in alerts issued by NGOs,
controversies that are receiving more and more media coverage urging
investors to exclude from their portfolios multinationals or States accused
of failing to keep their commitments, reluctance on the part of public
authorities to open markets to offenders in this area, potential boycotts
by consumers or dissatisfied customers, or rankings selecting the most
virtuous companies, human rights are at the core of the company’s value
creation for itself and for its stakeholders..
