An Integrated Reporting Process Promoting Value Creation
Creating Value for Artists
(representativeness of the different budget levels of the films selected,
balance between newcomers and established directors, financing
of a wide variety of genres). This agreement, which lasts 5 years,
supports the historical and virtuous partnership between Canal+ and the
professionals of the seventh art.
Supporting the contribution of women throughout the entire content
production process is a component of Vivendi’s performance. After
launching its initial study on the role of women in cinema and music in
Europe in 2013, Vivendi created a Steering Committee made up of several
professionals of Canal+ Group and Universal Music in order to raise
awareness and collect data. Thus, in 2015, 25% of the films bought up
by Canal+ will be directed by women. Of the 19 films officially competing
at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, only two were by female directors.
They were both supported by Canal+ Group:
Mon Roi
by Maïwenn was
coproduced and distributed by Studiocanal, and
Marguerite et Julien
by Valérie Donzelli benefited from investment by Canal+. As part of its
policy of supporting the development of African production, the channel
A+ encourages several magazine and series projects led by women like
Akissi Delta, Yolande Bogui and Alexandra Amon. Alexandra Amon,
discovered by Canal+ Afrique during the project
L’Afrique au féminin
,
saw her first series,
Chroniques africaines
, receive the award for best TV
series at the 2015 Pan-African Film and Television Festival. Furthermore,
of the 50 best-selling Universal Music Group albums in the world in 2015,
28% were by female artists and 40% were by male artists (excluding
groups, film scores and compilations).
The subject of the role of women in artistic creation fuelled in particular
the partnership between Vivendi and Sciences Po (see Chapter 2, Section
2.1.2.1 of the Annual Report 2015). Vivendi is also a member of the
Ministerial Committee for gender equality set up by the French Minister
of Culture. Finally, the site
Culture(s) with Vivendi
and the CSR webradio
Vivoice
highlight the careers of women who have become famous as
orchestra conductors, screenwriters, film producers or directors.
