WPP’s commitment to anti-racism
Racial injustice will not be tolerated within WPP – nor can we tolerate it in the world around us
On 17 June 2020, WPP announced a set of commitments and actions to help combat racial injustice and support Black and minority ethnic talent. Read about our progress so far.
Our commitments
- We will take decisive action on each of the 12 points in the “Call For Change” open letter to the industry from more than 1,200 Black advertising professionals; complete a fundamental review of our hiring, retention, promotion and development practices; and publish our racial diversity data.
- We will use our voice to fight racism and advance the cause of racial equity in and beyond our industry.
- We will invest $30 million over the next three years to fund inclusion programmes within WPP and to support external organisations.
