Vivendi participates in the 4th annual IIRC – International Integrated Reporting Council- pilot conference that will be held in Madrid on September 24 -26, 2014. This is the opportunity for this international organization gathering pilot companies and investors to discuss about progress made in integrated reporting. Integrated reporting links together financial and non-financial information relating to a company to allow all the stakeholders to understand the company’s strategy, risks and opportunities. In brief it is an analysis grid of value creation in a company over the medium and long term. Vivendi is the only French company in the media and cultural industries to be part of the IIRC Pilot Program.

Pascale Thumerelle, VP Head of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Vivendi: “Our integrated reporting approach, detailed in our annual report 2013, evaluates how investing in diversity of content creates value for our company. This approach aims at illustrating the link between Vivendi’s strategy and its CSR policy, the Group’s overall performance and the understanding of the needs expressed by its stakeholders in a newly digital environment.  This exercise has clearly demonstrated that producing richly diverse cultural content satisfies the public interest (societal value) and gives the Group a competitive edge over its competitors –(financial value). “
