ViacomCBS International Studios has announced the launch of VIS Social Impact, a new studio division that has been created to develop social impact-driven content addressing climate, equity, and health for the ViacomCBS portfolio of brands, including Paramount+, as well as for third-party partners.
The company said that the new division is part of Content for Change, a global ViacomCBS initiative that aims to counteract racism, bias, stereotypes and hate through the company's culture, creative supply chain, and ultimately the content it creates.
For decades, we've told stories that matter, and we understand the significant role entertainment plays in shaping minds and ultimately driving change. Now with VIS Social Impact, we will harness the power of storytelling to challenge stereotypes, shift perceptions, and create meaningful change in the critical areas of climate, equity and health, said Raffaele Annecchino, president and CEO, VCNI. Through ViacomCBS' massive global footprint and the work of this new studio, we have a responsibility to elevate voices that need to be heard, and to use our content to make a tangible impact on the world's biggest challenges.
