The Lagardère group has a variety of commitments.

Although the Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation and the ELLE Foundation are at the forefront of social issues, all of the Group's medias are involved humanitarian actions. The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation, which celebrated its 20^th anniversary in 2009, aims to apply Lagardère's commitment in the areas of culture, solidarity and sport with a view to increasing confidence and excellence and forming bonds based on solidarity.

In 2010, the Lagardère group contributed €3.4 million to various organisations. In 2010, the free advertising space granted by Lagardère Active through different media (print, radio, television and Internet) represented €3.9 million, an amount corresponding to the value of the gross rate for the spaces in question. This free advertising space was granted to various humanitarian, environmental and social causes in the areas of healthcare, research, disabilities, environment, solidarity, child protection and road safety.

Like Paris Match , several other Group media have gotten involved in solidarity initiatives or partnerships that embody Lagardère's societal commitments
