4. There are more than 150 companies within the Group and each is a distinctive brand in its own
right. Between them, our companies work with 351 of the Fortune Global 500, all 30 of the Dow
Jones 30, 69 of the NASDAQ 100 and 31 of the Fortune 

We are selected to work on projects by our clients, based on a broad range of criteria including our
creative ideas, planning and executional capabilities, as well as our environmental or social
credentials. We work across all industries (for companies both privately and publically-owned as
well as governmental organisations, in over 100 geographies, as permitted

under international sanctions and legislation.

We seek to ensure that our own work complies with local laws, marketing codes and our own Code of
Business Conduct.

CR and sustainability have become increasingly important to many of our clients and our agencies are
involved in helping them understand the issues and formulate effective communications. This runs
across a number of our disciplines from research, design and PR to advertising. Our agencies also
undertake a signi?cant amount of pro-bono work for good causes, including environmental and social
NGOs
