received several honors that recognize its initiatives and
transparency around Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
efforts this year. The honors include IPG’s fourth year on the Dow

third year on Newsweek’s Most Responsible Companies, recognition on
“Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion” by Disability
Equality Index, and inclusion on USA Today’s inaugural list of

improved to “negligible risk,” the lowest risk rating, with a score
that ranked first among advertising peers and fourth among media
peers.
“As a purpose-driven company, IPG understands our responsibility
to conduct business in a way that supports our employees and the
environments in which we work,” said Jemma Gould, IPG’s Chief
Sustainability Officer. “We are proud to be recognized for our ESG
initiatives and disclosures, and we’ll continue to work toward our
business-driven ESG goals in the year ahead,” she continued.
“We’re honored to be recognized by esteemed institutions that
further validate our efforts in creating an inclusive workplace for
diverse talent,” said Channing Martin, Chief Diversity and Social
Impact Officer at IPG. “As a global advertising and marketing
holding company, we’re responsible for authentically reaching our
clients’ diverse audiences in our work and it requires having our
teams accurately reflect today’s global consumer,” she
continued.
More information on each accolade is below:
- The Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (NA) represents the top 20% of sustainability
performers among the 600 largest U.S. and Canadian companies in the
S&P Global Broad Market Index based on long-term economic,
environmental, and social criteria. The index is the widely
recognized standard for providing information to investors and
other stakeholders on corporate ESG information. IPG is the only
advertising holding company named to the prestigious list.
- The Corporate
Equality Index (CEI) showcases how U.S.-based companies are
promoting LGBTQ+ friendly workplace policies. IPG earned a score of
100, and the designation as a recipient of the Equality 100 Award:
Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. The CEI rates companies on
detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:
Non-discrimination policies across business entities; equitable
benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families; supporting an
inclusive culture; and corporate social responsibility.
- America’s Most
Responsible Companies ranking, which is presented by Newsweek and
Statista, Inc., reviews corporate responsibility holistically,
considering all three pillars of ESG. The list is based on a
detailed analysis of over 30 KPIs for the top 2,000 public
companies by revenue with headquarters in the U.S., as well as a
public survey to evaluate the companies’ CSR reputations based on a
survey of 17,000 U.S. residents.
- The Disability
Equality Index is recognized globally as the world’s most
comprehensive benchmarking tool. The 2023 Disability Equality Index
measures the following areas in workplace inclusion: Culture &
Leadership; Enterprise-Wide Access; Employment Practices (Benefits,
Recruitment, Employment, Education, Retention & Advancement,
Accommodations); Community Engagement; Supplier Diversity; and
Non-U.S. Operations (Non- Weighted). This year marks Interpublic
Group’s inaugural year being evaluated by the Disability Equality
Index and demonstrates our commitment to disability equality and
inclusion. IPG scored 80/100 and we are committed to improving our
score each year, partnering with Disability:IN as we continue to
identify ways to create a more accessible workplace for all.
- USA Today and
Statista’s inaugural list of “America’s Climate Leaders” includes
companies across the United States that achieved the greatest
reduction in their core emissions intensity between 2019 and 2021 –
that is, Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in relation to
revenue.

global leader in ESG research and data, serving the world’s top
