Publicis Groupe Statement
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
July 30, 2016 - PARIS - Following the comments made by Saatchi &
Saatchi Executive Chairman and Publicis Groupe Head Coach, Kevin Roberts, in a
recent interview with Business Insider, Publicis Groupe Chairman & CEO, Maurice
Lévy addressed a statement internally to all Publicis Groupe employees to
reiterate the Groupe's no-tolerance policy towards behavior or commentary
counter to the spirit of Publicis Groupe and its celebration of difference as
captured in the motto Viva la Difference!
It is for the gravity of these statements that Kevin Roberts has been asked to
take a leave of absence from Publicis Groupe effective immediately. As a member
of The Directoire, it will ultimately be the Publicis
Groupe Supervisory Board's duty to further evaluate his standing.
Diversity & inclusion are business imperatives on which Publicis Groupe will not
negotiate. While fostering a work environment that is inclusive of all talent is
a collective responsibility, it is leadership's job to nurture the career
aspirations and goals of all our talent. Promoting gender equality starts at the
top and the Groupe will not tolerate anyone speaking for our organization who
does not value the importance of inclusion. Publicis Groupe works very hard to
champion diversity and will continue to insist that each agency's leadership be
champions of both diversity and inclusion.
