4.2.2. Local Economic, Social and Cultural Development
Vivendi strives to assess its contribution to the development of the
territories in which it operates through the indirect jobs it helps to create,
through its supply chain, and through its partnerships with civil society.
4.2.2.1.
Indirect Jobs
Owing to the variety of jobs and geographic locations represented by
the group, each subsidiary has used its own methodology for estimating
the number of indirect jobs created (see Methodology Note, Section 7.1).
During 2014, it is estimated that the group’s subsidiaries sustained nearly
90,000 indirect jobs. These are upstream jobs within the industry: supply
chain (see Section 4.4); downstream commercial services (distributors,
resellers, call centers); jobs in real estate services; jobs in related
commercial services, excluding temporary jobs (such as legal advisers,
insurance, banking and catering).
