3.1.6 Gender diversity within governing bodies

Publicis Groupe is committed to respecting gender equality and has been involved for many years in promoting women’s rights in civil society and in the workplace (see Section 4.1.2 “Diversity and Inclusion”).

Publicis Groupe ensures a balanced representation of women and men up to the highest levels of responsibility. There has been balanced gender representation on the Supervisory Board since well before it became a legal requirement, making Publicis Groupe SA one of the first Groupes to apply gender parity to its Board.

As of 2018, Publicis Groupe has set itself a gender diversity target of 40% women in key management positions by 2020, a target that was achieved (see Section 4.1.2 “Diversity and Inclusion”).

In accordance with the recommendations of the Afep-Medef Code, the Management Board, after consulting the Supervisory Board, has adopted a policy of gender diversity within the governing bodies.

In addition to the statutory governance bodies, Publicis has defined a Groupe of “key management positions” made up of all members of the Management Board, the Directoire+, the Management Committee and the Executive Committees of the main countries and regions. Apart from the Supervisory Board, whose gender balance is governed by article L. 225-69-1 of the French Commercial Code, these are the bodies with the most responsibility within the Groupe.

The gender balance of the governing bodies is included as a performance criterion in the annual and long-term variable compensation of the members of the Management Board, with the target of having 45% women among key management positions by 2025.
