IPG
IPG was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for the second year in a row, in recognition of the company's commitment to sustainable business practices.
The Index is a widely recognized standard for measuring corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) progress across industries, providing information to investors and other stakeholders that is critical in understanding a company's long-term value. The index recognizes the top 20% of sustainability performers among the 600 largest U.S. and Canadian companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index. IPG is the only company from the advertising and marketing sector named to the prestigious list.
IPG has made progress on its integrated ESG efforts this year. Earlier in 2021, the company committed to an action plan that consists of three climate goals. The goals include setting an emissions reduction target through the Science-based Target initiative, sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2030, and reaching net-zero emissions by 2040.
Other IPG initiatives include publishing our first SASB report, creating the company's first-ever board diversity policy and maintaining the diversity of our board, creating the company's first-ever human rights policy, and revising travel policies to include a focus on sustainability.
