* EcoVadis criteria are used, according to their thematic classification: FBP = Fair Business Practices; SUP = Supply Chain; LAB = Labor; ENV = Environment. The average scores are those of the Publicis Groupe suppliers assessed on this platform and serve as the starting point for the CSR analysis of suppliers.
The whistleblowing system, set up as part of the Groupe’s Compliance Program (see Section 4.3.6 below), has been extended to alerts related to the Duty of Care; this system, consolidated around an external platform, Ethics Concerns (https://publicis.whispli.com/lp/ethicsconcerns) and previously consolidated around a unique address (ethicsconcerns@publicisgroupe.com) is intended to collect and process internal or external requests and whistleblowing alerts.
As the preferred partner of major digital platforms, Publicis Groupe has also formed technological partnerships with numerous businesses, whether established companies or promising start‑ups. The aim is to better understand the technical possibilities and work together to find new, intelligent solutions, and to meet client and consumer expectations.
On the basis of their expertise, Groupe entities have also developed different analysis and research methodologies, in particular for consumer behavior and sociological developments, and have developed software tools and specific systems to assist in serving clients.
