A Responsible employer
The Lagardère group is fully aware that its performance is directly linked to its employees' skills and the suitability of its resources. Accordingly, being a responsible employer is its top priority.
Respect the environment
In 2012, the Lagardère group worked with its four divisions to improve environmental reporting.
Access to information and knowledge
The Lagardère group has responsibilities both as a listed company, with the resulting transparency obligations, and as a company dealing with standard environmental and workforce-related issues.
Create social cohesion
The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation and Elle Foundation are naturally at the forefront of the Lagardère group’s social commitment. In addition to the foundations, all the Group’s subsidiaries and brands committed themselves again during 2012 to community and partnership initiatives. Programmes to promote young talent and support young sportspeople and sport at large were also widely pursued during 2012.
