Sustainability and Environmental Policy

Vision
GROW bears responsibility and makes its contribution to achieve social and political climate goals. GROW and the associated agencies and networks strive to become a recognized market leader in sustainability. Therefore, we develop and offer innovative solutions that meet our customer’s demands as well as the globally acknowledged principles of sustainability and the requirements of environmental and energy efficiency management systems.

Our principles
We run our business with the awareness of natural resource conservation. This includes respect and consideration for the environment as well as the continuous improvement of our own energy-related performance and our corporate carbon footprint. For topics related to sustainability we focus on a clear leadership, on self-responsibility and direct accountability within all levels of Omnicom Holding Germany GmbH and its associated networks. We continuously work to improve our business processes and fulfill or exceed the legal requirements and all significant international standards. We deliver services of high quality that help our customers succeed and increase their business’ value. We offer an environment in which sustainability issues are openly discussed based on trust. We are aware of the fact that our employees’ abilities and their integration are core requirements to understand and satisfy our customers and our business’ demands. We provide the resources that are necessary to reach these goals.
