2020 Annual Financial Report

Chapter 4 : Corporate social responsibility – non-financial performance

In 2020, the Groupe awarded an exceptional purchasing power bonus (PEPA, known as the “Macron bonus”):

  • payment of a bonus of up to euro 540 net in 2020 for all eligible employees (salary less than or equal to euro 4,000 gross per month);
  • payment of a support bonus of euro 1,000 net for each “exposed employee”, i.e. who was not, in full or in part, in partial employment or working from home during the first lockdown, for all employees whose monthly salary is less than or equal to the maximum legal limit authorized (three times the SMIC minimum wage).

The compensation of furloughed employees was maintained:

  • during the months of March and April 2020, 100% of their net monthly salary without any salary cap conditions;
  • during the months of May, June, July, August, September, November and December 2020, 100% of their net monthly salary for all employees whose gross annual salary is euro 30,000 or less (90% above).

Publicis Groupe has not used State aid.

Employee savings scheme: in France, despite the context of the crisis, the Groupe continued to promote employee savings, maintaining its policy of 300% matching by Groupe entities that have introduced a company savings scheme.
