cirquecitoyen - Our Approach

Our Approach

Cirque du Soleil  wants above all to take its place in society as a good citizen, with all the duties and responsibilities that go with citizenship. Beyond philanthropic gestures, good citizenship consists of an attitude of social responsibility at the very heart of all our business strategies and management. Cirque therefore pays particular attention to its relationships with its employees, its interactions with its audience, its relationships with business partners, suppliers and community neighbours, and the environmental impact of its activities.

Cirque du Soleil's citizenship principles are founded on the conviction that the arts, business and social initiatives can, together, contribute to making a better world. Cirque participates in networks such as BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) and BITC (Business in the Community), which include the majority of large companies in North America and the United Kingdom, all driven by a common desire to encourage social responsibility and evolve through the relationship between business and the community.
