We have made strong progress in the role our brands are playing to drive social and cultural change. Not only that, but we are also committed to enabling equal opportunities for women in the advertising creativity and production industry. It is important that we make equality and inclusion a sustainable part of creativity. Therefore, we are seeking to work with the next generation of marketers and advertisers to drive holistic change in imagery and in turn, society. We are deliberate in our actions to advance equality and inclusion, so that we can accelerate the pace of change.”
