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.
