Cirque du Soleil – Global Citizen

At Cirque du Soleil, everything starts with a dream. Whether it was with our first twenty circus performers or today’s 4,000 employees, we harness our creative energy to incite the imagination, provoke the senses and awaken the emotions of people everywhere.

Our adventure began in the streets in 1984, with a troupe of young dreamers facing untold possibilities. Since then, the universal language of art has given us the greatest of gifts: a ticket to the world.

Today, more than ever, our nomadic heritage is etched into our DNA. Given that our activities take place throughout the world, we are determined to act as responsible and engaged citizens in the communities that we visit.

We want to make a difference in the lives of youths and encourage them to change the world; our Sun, which represents energy and youth, is our connection to them.

I am proud of the work of the Cirque du Soleil performers, artisans and employees, and I am honoured that together we are building a responsible company that uses its creative powers to make the world better.

Our social responsibility strategy is based on four pillars, and gives our work clear direction to focus on the objectives that we have set for ourselves.

Join us in making every place we visit even more beautiful!

Our CSR strategy ensures a coherent and structured approach in order to support our 2020 strategic plan and create value for Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.

To be connected to city utility power installations is really a win-win situation. Both for Cirque and the environment. We lower our footprint through our CSR strategy and adaptation of our operational equipment set ups. This provides us ways to fight climate change and to ease the daily management on site. So why not, right?

Arts Nomades gives me the chance to impact lives. I’ll always remember the person who taught me how to juggle when I was 9 years old, and I hope that I can give that to kids today.

Our community partnerships extend our continued commitment to be a good neighbour. These relationships allow us to crosspollinate creativity and strengthen the link between art and social change in our shared world.

Social responsibility has a clear influence on the choice of materials and equipment used in our digital workshops. The use of technological tools such as 3D printing, for instance, allows us to reduce our ecological footprint. As ambassadors for innovation, our team’s mandate to set an example for others to follow.
