At Publicis Sapient, our mission is to help organizations thrive in the brave pursuit of next. For over three decades, we have partnered with leading UK businesses and public sector organizations to deliver digital transformation that is not only innovative and effective, but also responsible and impactful. Our commitment to social impact and ethical business practices is woven into every engagement, making us a trusted partner for organizations prioritizing ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and ethical transformation.
One of our most celebrated social impact projects in the UK is the ‘Sending Machine’—a revolutionary contactless donation device designed to support food banks. Unlike traditional donation points, the Sending Machine enables people to donate exactly what food banks need on any given day, ensuring that contributions are both timely and relevant. This innovation bridges the gap between community generosity and real-time needs, helping to combat food insecurity in a practical, scalable way. The Sending Machine exemplifies how digital solutions can address pressing social challenges, and it stands as a testament to our belief that technology should empower humanity.
Operating in the UK means upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct. Publicis Sapient is fully committed to the principles of the UK Modern Slavery Act. We publish annual Modern Slavery Statements, outlining the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. This commitment extends to rigorous due diligence, employee training, and transparent reporting, ensuring that our business and our partners uphold human rights at every level.
Transparency and equity are core to our values. Publicis Sapient publishes a UK Gender Pay Gap Report, providing clear data on pay equity and outlining our ongoing efforts to close the gap. We believe that a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is essential for innovation and long-term success. Our leadership is dedicated to fostering an environment where all employees can thrive, and we hold ourselves accountable through regular reporting and continuous improvement.
Our responsibility extends beyond our own walls. Publicis Sapient’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets clear expectations for ethical behaviour, environmental stewardship, and respect for human rights among our suppliers and partners. We require all suppliers to adhere to these standards, ensuring that our entire value chain reflects our commitment to responsible business. This approach not only mitigates risk but also builds trust with clients, partners, and the communities we serve.
Publicis Sapient’s approach to digital business transformation in the UK is grounded in a deep understanding of local regulatory requirements and societal expectations. We help clients navigate complex landscapes—from data privacy and payment practices to sustainability and gender pay gap reporting—ensuring that transformation initiatives are compliant, ethical, and future-proof. Our local teams bring sector-specific expertise, enabling us to deliver tailored solutions that drive measurable impact while aligning with the highest ESG standards.
Our commitment to responsible business is reflected in the recognition we have received from clients and industry bodies alike. Recent accolades in the UK include:
Our UK leadership team, including Scott Criddle (Groupe Vice President, General Management) and Sudeepto Mukherjee (Executive VP, EMEA & APAC), combines deep local market knowledge with global expertise.
