The group develops its own distribution materials

and its digital platforms (Dailymotion, Canalplay,

Watchever) as well as its satellite capabilities.

It manages a vast stock of set-top boxes. It also

has facilities (e.g., buildings and performance

halls) in numerous cities in Europe and

internationally.

Vivendi has financial capital at its disposal

by restructuring its assets and calling upon

financial markets and institutional lenders.

The group, its suppliers and its service

providers use raw materials necessary

to produce and distribute their offerings

of content, services (data centers; transport

flows; consumer equipment) and goods

(CDs and DVDs).

Vivendi maintains a regular dialog with

all of its stakeholders or their representatives

(artists and professionals of the sector, shareholders,

employees, clients, public authorities, academic

institutions, NGOs and suppliers).

These exchanges consolidate strong and long-term

relationships with all of the private or public actors,

allow enhanced anticipation of societal changes

and contribute to the group’s overall performance.

Vivendi relies at the international level on

the skills and talents of its employees, artists,

authors, creators, journalists, technicians,

developers or designers.

The group draws from this rich diversity

of cultures, ideas and artistic expressions to

produce original, quality content and services.

Vivendi owns intellectual property rights

(exploitation rights for films, audiovisual

programs, music catalogs, broadcast rights

for sporting events) that it markets via its

own distribution networks and media, its

digital platforms or those of its partners.

These intellectual property rights also include

trademarks, labels and patents.

The group also has cultural resources

and networks that help increase its potential

for creativity and for attracting talent offering

a wide diversity of expression.
