Shared value through social purpose
Society is facing some of its greatest challenges. Climate change, biodiversity loss and extreme inequality are causing exponential disruption. Citizens are demanding change. And businesses are under pressure to respond.
As a global leader in media and digital communications, we understand the power we have to influence how people think, feel and act.
We also recognise the role we play in driving consumption. That's why we're embedding sustainable behaviours and human-centric thinking into our strategy and planning processes – to develop work that is more reflective of the needs of society today.
We have the responsibility, opportunity and privilege to help guide our people, clients and society through this disruption. We will fuse data, technology and creativity in a way that helps create a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.

The Code
The Code is dentsu’s work-ready programme. It opens the doors of our industry to the next generation of diverse talent, equipping them with the skills to thrive in the digital economy through immersive workshops, competitions, work experience opportunities, apprenticeships and early career opportunities. And, it enable our people to share their insights and expertise with the next generation.

Our environment strategy
We're aiming to reduce our carbon footprint by 40% per full-time employee by the end of 2020. And we have set a Science-Based Target to reduce our emissions even further by 2030.
We've committed to purchasing 100% of our electricity from renewable sources by 2020, which we have now achieved.
We’ve reduced our paper consumption by over 80% by investing in technology and alternative solutions.
