Suppliers

WPP spends around $3 billion with suppliers each year. We want to do business with suppliers that meet high standards on the environment and employment practices. We are committed to managing CR risks in our supply chain, both for ourselves and for our clients.

WPP’s Global Procurement Policy contains ethical and environmental criteria which our Group procurement teams use in supplier selection and management. We thoroughly evaluate companies against a set of business requirements before they can become a preferred supplier. These include assurance of supply, quality, service, cost, innovation and CR. We do not have a standard weighting for each criteria and they may vary from project to project.

WPP’s operating companies are undertaking to make certain that attention is paid to achieving diversity among their suppliers, with the objective of ensuring appropriate levels of procurement from suppliers owned by minorities and women.
