“As a leading media group, we owe it to ourselves to be a trusted player in everything we do. We have a responsibility to society, as an active participant in collective transformation. And we have a responsibility to our people, supporting them every day to stay well and grow. We focus our engagement on three main spheres of action, all of them perfectly aligned with our strategy: diversity and inclusion, ecological transition, and supporting good causes.”
Mélissa Saint-Fort, Head of CSR
More than ever, French people expect businesses to be working actively for a more responsible world. As a leading media group, we know that we have responsibilities, and that we can influence hearts and minds. That’s why we have positioned ourselves as a maker and driver of change. We’re fully engaged around issues affecting the environment (ecological transition), our employees and society, but we are also aware of the need for tangible action in response to those issues. So we use our content to raise public awareness, support good causes, and help our advertising clients.
Our vocation: bringing people together. That’s the driving force behind our cultural project, under the banner “TF1, les Français Ensemble”. By promoting diversity and inclusion, encouraging ecological transition and supporting good causes, we play an active role in building a more sustainable and cohesive society. We have a number of pillars to guide what we do, and help us work faster and more effectively towards ecological and social change.
Playing our part by reducing our carbon impact, with targets signed off by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in October 2023 - a 30% cut in our CO2 emissions by 2030, with three main priorities: eco-production, digital sobriety, and responsible procurement.
Continuing to use our content to mobilise the public around ecological transition, while also developing training programs to help our own people become transition activists
For more than ten years, our ad sales house TF1 Pub has been actively engaged with the ecological transition – working with agencies and advertisers, and driving a shift towards more responsible consumption.
Showcasing female experts, heroines and sportswomen; combatting sexism and violence against women; tackling sexism at work; and increasing female representation in the boardroom – four ways to promote gender equality, and help everyone perform better.

Building strong social cohesion and tackling all forms of discrimination. What we screen, and what we do, must reflect diversity in terms of ethnicity, social backgrounds and gender; change perceptions of disability and sickness; and open up media career opportunities for young people.
Support the work of charities in the field to help the most vulnerable and victims of violence, fund medical research, and help the sick and their families.
Ensuring our news output and programmes meet ethical standards, educating people about the media, talking to our stakeholders, protecting personal data, and safeguarding business integrity.
Continually raising awareness of workplace risks, and putting measures in place that will protect the health of our people and improve their quality of life at work.
Promoting a culture of compliance and ethical conduct commensurate with our responsibilities to our audiences and our suppliers.
