At dentsu, we believe that our differences make us stronger. Our mission is to be a champion for meaningful progress and a force good – with and for our people, clients, consumers and communities. To achieve this, we embed diversity in our mindset, in our solutions and in our teams to empower an inclusive, equitable culture. By building equity within our teams, we aim to become better collaborators with each other and with our clients, driving better outcomes for all.

We are proud to release dentsu’s 2022 Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) report. Last year, dentsu Americas released the industry’s first dedicated DEI report, setting the standard for transparency and accountability with a comprehensive 360-degree study of DEI progress and activations. This year we have expanded our DEI report to share a wider view of global progress, with initiatives and stories from across Dentsu Group. The report is a 360-degree view of our progress as we have continued to embed DEI into each region.
