Corporate Social Responsibility

At Publicis Groupe we are proud to maintain the N°1 ESG position in our industry for the fifth consecutive year, based upon the scores from leading rating agencies. This demonstrates our belief that financial and non-financial performance are both critical and inseparable.
Our ESG priorities are clear and guide our actions across countries and agencies.
In terms of the Environment, our climate ambition, validated by SBTi, is to achieve Net Zero by 2040. The path is not easy with a 21% reduction per capita in 2024 (compared to 2019). By 2024, we are reaching 75% renewable energy from direct sources.
In terms of Social Impact and Equity, the objective is to have 46% of women in key Group positions by 2025 – we are at 45.8% by the end of 2024. Our flagship programs such as the MCTP in the United States or Publicis Track in France illustrate our commitment to creating opportunities for young people who wish to enter in our industry. Equal Opportunities for all are our mantra under Viva La Difference.

The Women's Forum for the Economy and Society will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025. It’s the only international initiative that brings together the power of businesses, goverments, academics, associations, to advance the role of woman for the benefits of all.
When it comes to Health, we know that physical and mental health is crucial for our teams, through our Working with Cancer initiative, we have been joined by more than 3,000 companies working to eliminate the stigma of cancer or other chronic illnesses in the workplace and better support the employees concerned.

In terms of business ethics & responsible marketing, we are constantly improving the standards of our businesses. Our initiative, the “Once And For All Coalition” in the United States, attests to our capacity for innovation in favor of innovative content creators. Climate issues are also integrated into our professional practices with A.L.I.C.E, our proprietary carbon calculator used for more than +200 clients/brands in +55 countries, and with our Anti-Greenwashing AI aligned with international frameworks and laws.

Thanks to the dedication of all employees, we will continue to progress in these critical areas.
