About Lagardere

Commitment to social issues

• Send

In terms of social citizenship, Lagardère is highly conscious of its own particular responsibility as a media company.

While our main aim is to satisfy reader, viewer and listener expectations by offering quality content, we also represent a multimedia vector for sustainable-development values, serving an audience in search of reliable information on this major challenge.

Lagardère’s business is an essential vehicle for culture – and for cultural diversity. As a major media player, and in order to satisfy audience expectations and curiosity, we strive to deliver varied content via a wide range of production, distribution and consumption methods. In this way, we foster access to culture and promote diversity of opinions and ideas. Lagardère is extremely vigilant with regard to content (particularly in advertising) and protecting young people.

We also feel that ethical journalism is of great importance.

Committed to promoting talent and the creation of social and cultural connections, Lagardère also fosters various social initiatives through:

• The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation and Elle Foundation in particular, which are committed to excellence, team spirit, respect for others, loyalty and independence.
  
• The promotion of good sportsmanship in all forms, with the special support of Lagardère Paris Racing and TeamLagardère, a centre for sports-oriented scientific expertise.
