IPG Earns Key ESG Recognitions
January 31 2023 - 10:30AM
Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) today announced several recognitions
that the company has received for its work in the environmental,
social and governance (ESG) space. IPG was included on the
Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI) for the fourth consecutive
year, and was recognized for the first time as a “Top-Rated ESG
Performer” by Sustainalytics. The company was also included on the
FTSE4Good Index for a fourth consecutive year, and Newsweek and
Statista’s “America’s Most Responsible Companies 2023” for the
second year. Additionally, IPG was listed on Forbes and Statista’s
“America’s Best Large Employers 2023” and “World’s Top Female
Friendly Companies 2022” lists.
The 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index gauges the performance
of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data, and
measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership &
talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive
culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.
Sustainalytics is a global leader in ESG research and data,
serving the world’s top institutional investors and corporations.
The organization scores companies’ ESG risks based on its
industry-leading ESG Risk Ratings which cover more than 15,000
companies across 42 industries. IPG is the only U.S.-based
advertising holding company included on the list of top-rated ESG
performers.
IPG was also listed on the FTSE4Good Index Series for a fourth
consecutive year after an independent assessment of the company
against FTSE4Good criteria. Created by the global index and data
provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series tracks the
performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social
and Governance (ESG) practices and is used by a wide variety of
market participants to create and assess responsible investment
funds and other products.
This was IPG’s second year on Newsweek’s “America’s Most
Responsible Companies 2023.” The list was selected based on key
performance indicators that were publicly available in company
reports, as well as insights from an independent survey of U.S.
residents. It recognizes the 500 most responsible companies in the
United States across 14 different industry subcategories.
“At IPG, we understand that our success is rooted in our ability
to deliver to a range of stakeholders while supporting the
well-being of our people and the communities in which we live and
work,” said Jemma Gould, IPG’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “We
are proud to receive recognition for our ESG-related programs,
though we also acknowledge that there is plenty of work left to be
done. We look forward to expanding on our progress during the
coming year,” she continued.
Finally, IPG was listed on Forbes and Statista’s “America’s Best
Large Employers 2023” and “World’s Top Female Friendly Companies
2022” lists. The “America’s Best Employers 2022” list is based on
an independent survey taken by approximately 45,000 American
employees working for companies with more than 1,000 U.S. workers.
In total, 500 companies were recognized on the list across 25
different industry sectors. The “World’s Top Female Friendly
Companies 2022” list is based on a survey of 85,000 women around
the world who evaluated their company on topics including
supportive policies for women in the workplace and balanced
recruitment.
