    Our priority: to make culture and education more accessible to all

    Culture is simultaneously a corner stone of life in society and an essential way for each of us to break free from our current circumstances and aspire to a better life.

    By investing massively in its content (4 billion euros in 2020), Vivendi is committed to supporting ambitious and multi-faceted creation. This will be possible by giving as many people as possible access to a diversified and inventive offer, so that everyone can live their life with purpose, broaden their horizons and acquire the skills to face the challenges of the 21st century.

    Our commitments

    • Promoting access

      to culture and education for all

    • Promoting and protecting

      all cultures and sensibilities

    • Fostering the emergence

      of positive impact content

      Promoting and protecting all cultures and sensibilities

      Vivendi supports creativity in all its diversity wherever the Group is present.

      Discovering talent within local creative ecosystems, supporting them, enabling them to flourish and become known in their home country and abroad, is both a part of our core business and our contribution to society.

      Local artists reinforce catalogs, many of which have been in existence for over a century: in cinema and publishing, our catalogs offer privileged access to a very rich cultural heritage.

      The Africa Stand-Up Festival, created by comedian Valery NDongo, attracts new talents, mostly from Central Africa, every year. The training consists of a workshop on writing sketches and a workshop on performing.

        Promoting access to culture and education for all

        Vivendi uses the diversity of its businesses to create, produce and distribute enriching content. It also sets up initiatives and partnerships that promote access to education and culture for as many people as possible, especially young people.

        Fostering the emergence of positive impact content

        As a global leader in culture, entertainment, media and communications, we have a real influence on the collective imagination and therefore, a strong responsibility towards our audiences.

        It is our duty to be mindful of the impact of the messages and images conveyed in our content, to promote uses adapted to our audiences, especially the youngest ones, and to promote creation and ideas that support important causes.

        We invest in impact-driven content that addresses key social issues and represents the diversity of our audiences. Our businesses can inspire change and call into action for a more sustainable world.
