4.4.1. Importance of Purchasing and Subcontracting at Vivendi
To obtain a better overall view of the risks related to the supply chain, the
group has carried out an analysis of its purchases made with suppliers
and subcontractors that account for at least 75% of the total expenditure
of each of the subsidiaries.

All the subsidiaries use subcontracting. They expect their suppliers
and subcontractors to comply with the principles set forth in Vivendi’s
Compliance Program and in the United Nations Global Compact, and
with the values and rules of good conduct in their respective Codes of
Ethics. Any violation of any of these principles is potential grounds for
the group to terminate the contract with the supplier. Canal+ Group
has two internal call centers for which it has obtained a renewal of the
“Integrated Centers” Social Responsibility label, and also has outsourced
call centers. GVT has its own call centers.

4.4.2. A Responsible Purchasing Policy Adopted by all the Subsidiaries
Vivendi is committed to increasing the awareness of its main suppliers
and subcontractors regarding its social and environmental issues.
The subsidiaries therefore ensure that their suppliers are part of
the implementation of the group’s commitments in these areas.
Vivendi’s Compliance Program includes a rule that reminds suppliers
of their undertaking to provide services in compliance with the group’s
commercial and social ethical standards.

Each of the group’s subsidiaries has made a formal commitment, in the
form of a code, charter or clause, to incorporate social or environmental
issues. This commitment refers particularly to fundamental principles
such as the ones formulated by the ILO in its conventions, the United
Nations Global Compact, or the OECD.
Besides the formal commitment of the group’s subsidiaries to incorporate
CSR issues into their purchasing policy, a number of them have gone a
step further in their approach.
