In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the foundation of responsible business transformation is built on trust, transparency, and ethical conduct. At Publicis Sapient, these principles are not just internal values—they extend across our entire global supply chain through our Supplier Code of Conduct. This code is a cornerstone of our commitment to ethical, sustainable, and responsible business practices, ensuring that every partnership we forge upholds the highest standards of integrity.
Publicis Sapient’s Supplier Code of Conduct is designed to foster a culture of ethical business, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. It sets clear expectations for all suppliers, partners, and subcontractors, regardless of their location or the nature of their engagement with us. The Code covers a broad spectrum of principles, including:
Our approach to supplier selection is rigorous and values-driven. We seek out partners who not only demonstrate technical excellence and innovation but also share our commitment to ethical conduct and sustainability. During the onboarding process, prospective suppliers are evaluated against the standards set forth in our Supplier Code of Conduct. This assessment includes a review of their labor practices, environmental policies, and compliance frameworks.
By prioritizing suppliers who align with our values, we ensure that our digital transformation solutions are built on a foundation of trust and responsibility. This approach extends across all industries we serve, from financial services and energy to retail and the public sector, reflecting our belief that ethical sourcing is integral to long-term business success.
Ethical partnerships require more than a one-time commitment—they demand ongoing vigilance and engagement. Publicis Sapient maintains a robust system for monitoring supplier compliance with our Code of Conduct. This includes regular audits, self-assessment questionnaires, and open channels for reporting concerns or violations.
We also foster a culture of continuous improvement by engaging suppliers in dialogue about best practices, emerging risks, and opportunities for collaboration. Our global presence, with over 50 offices in 26+ countries, enables us to maintain close relationships with suppliers and respond swiftly to any issues that arise.
The effectiveness of our Supplier Code of Conduct is evident in the way we deliver digital transformation projects for clients worldwide. For example, our work with leading organizations in sectors such as banking, energy, and public services is underpinned by a supply chain that meets stringent ethical and sustainability criteria. This ensures that our solutions not only drive innovation and efficiency but also contribute positively to society and the environment.
Our commitment to responsible sourcing is further demonstrated through our public disclosures, such as the Modern Slavery Statement, which outlines the steps we take to prevent exploitation and promote human rights across our operations and supply chain.
Digital transformation is about more than technology—it’s about creating lasting value for businesses, customers, and communities. By embedding ethical considerations into every aspect of our operations, Publicis Sapient sets a new standard for responsible business in the digital age. Our Supplier Code of Conduct is a testament to this commitment, ensuring that every partnership we form is grounded in integrity, respect, and a shared vision for a better future.
For prospective clients, partners, and suppliers, our approach offers assurance that working with Publicis Sapient means joining a network dedicated to ethical excellence and sustainable growth. Together, we can drive digital transformation that not only delivers results but also makes a positive impact on the world.
