Stakeholders
The dialogue with stakeholders takes place at various levels: the Groupe conducts a review every two or three years, in the form of individual interviews with clients and investors, and workshops for employees, to work on feedback from over 100 participants. Countries also have their own dialogue with their stakeholders, as France does through its quarterly Positive Talks conferences, which bring together clients, partners and suppliers, and representatives of institutions and associations to discuss current issues and the role that communication should play in this period of major transformation. In the United Kingdom, the internal Green Council, which brings together the various activities, works with partners, clients and associations to advance practices and support the transition. In the United States, the Global Standard Council provides monthly updates on developments in professional standards and innovations related to ESG issues with internal and external guests (see also chapter 4.2.9).
