TF1
broadcasting and all of its content. As a company,
it is convinced that diverse, multicultural teams are
particularly creative and efficient.
The group promotes open and respectful relations
between employees and rejects all discriminatory
ideas and practices. To underscore its openness
to all audiences, the TF1 group signed the Diversity
Charter on 11 January 2011 and then applied for
the Diversity label, which it obtained in December
2010. With this policy, called "From Charter to
Label", it has chosen an ambitious approach for
rolling out its diversity commitment.
Innovation University
The Innovation University, intended for employees,
was developed to respond to their interest in new
technologies, raise awareness of new digital issues
and rally staff around TF1 group strategy.
The initiative, based on knowledge sharing, feedback
and staff discussions, this year included
conferences and creative workshops with input
from experts from TF1, Bouygues Telecom and
external partners.
Area 4: responsible
production and
broadcasting
Programme accessibility, subtitles and
audio description
TF1 is duty bound to ensure that its programmes
are accessible to everyone, especially people with
impaired hearing. The channel now subtitles 100%
of its programmes, including live broadcasts such
as news shows. The theme channels exceed their
legal requirements in this area.
With more than one million French people suffering
from visual disabilities, TF1 proposes one
programme per month with an audio description,
allowing people to "see" a film through a voice
description of the action and setting of a show.
The technique used by TF1 was developed by the
Valentin Haüy organisation. TF1 has committed to
broadcasting 52 audio-described programmes in
2013, 20 of them airing for the first time.
Protecting young viewers 1
Terrestrial television channels have since 2002
been required to identify programmes (excluding
advertising) that are not recommended for all
audiences by displaying a symbol on screen. The
symbols correspond to one of five age categories:
universal, -10, -12, -16 and -18. The TF1 channel
does not broadcast -18 programmes.
TFou.fr, the TF1 group website for children, consists
of three distinct sites for three different age
groups. Safety is a prime concern in all TFou.fr web
areas. Parents are provided with a parental charter,
drawn up in partnership with the non-governmental
organisation Action Innocence, on the responsible
attitudes to be adopted.
TFou also partners the leading organisations
involved in internet safety.

In their own words
François Perillat, production manager
of the R.I.S series for TF1 Production
"Most of the props in our
business have a shortlived
existence, and that’s
part of the magic.
For a single scene of
R.I.S, for example, we
might transport and do
up two buses and use
an enormous amount
of wood and paint. We
can do better from an
Environmental awareness
In 2009 the News department introduced
Eco2climat, an indicator
on the carbon consumption of the
French population as measured
by the Carbone 4 firm. The indicator
features on the 8 o’clock news show every month,
aimed at raising public awareness of greenhouse
gas emissions. Eco2climat, the first indicator
of its kind in Europe, enhances the quality and
consistency of TF1 information on sustainable
development.

environmental standpoint,
throw away less and
recycle.
With the Ecoprod
approach we can do our
jobs just as well and with
just as much passion, but
be more in step with a
good citizen mindset.
We're all for it at TF1
Production!"
Ushuaïa TV is the only French channel fully dedicated
to sustainable development. Original channel
programming includes Passage au Vert, presenting
ecology as a fantastic opportunity, Bougez Vert, a
sustainable development events diary, and Green
Trip, an eco-tourism magazine.
More eco-friendly programmes
with Ecoprod
TF1 partners the Ecoprod
policy aimed at raising the
audiovisual industry’s awareness
of its environmental footprint.
In 2010 the Ecoprod team developed the
Carbon’Clap ® calculator, which measures carbon
emissions specifically for the audiovisual sector.
The TF1 group implemented Ecoprod principles
for in-house productions in 2011.
