A different view of disability

On December 3, 2019, Maxime Saada, Chairman and CEO of the Group, signed the CSA Charter on the representation of people with disabilities in the media.

A new commitment at the heart of our inclusion approach, in our branches and in our teams.

The Charter identifies five objectives to be achieved:

1. Making the issue of disability through annual progress commitments by the channels.

2. Not assigning people with disabilities to their disability by making sure that they intervene in the media in an inclusive way, by asking them about all areas of social, political, economic, cultural life, etc.

3. Changing the focus on disability by presenting disability in a positive and inclusive way, without being content with compassionate approaches.

4. Sharing good practices, using the right words by creating bridges between channels, so that they can draw inspiration from each other's good practices and by helping editorial staff to use the right words when dealing with disability, in particular by providing a glossary.

5. Evaluating the results in the channel reviews, which will also be presented at an annual monitoring committee meeting.
