Creativity. Quality. Commitment.
those words are common ground for the omnicom family of agencies. We are a global collection of 1,500 companies that, by strategic design, thrive on just the right combination of autonomy and alliance. and this cultural foundation underpins all we do for our clients, our shareholders and the communities we share. it wasnt so long ago that most companies viewed the latter part of that equilibrium the community aspect as more social obligation than business imperative. not anymore. increasingly, the measure of a companys value extends beyond the financial bottom line, as performance around nonfiscal considerations has begun to define the truly well-managed enterprise. Considerations like environmental stewardship, contributions to social justice and strong, transparent corporate governance. in short, sustainability in all of its forms is an expanding and increasingly important piece of the global economic conversation. there are growing concerns about the world we will leave for future generations as a swelling chorus of voices are calling for businesses to be smarter and more conscientious in their use of all resources human, economic and environmental. theyre the voices of many stakeholders: from consumers and employees to policymakers and investors, and many more in between. While these stakeholders may come to care about sustainability for different reasons, the reality is that they all care. at omnicom, so do we. omnicom brings together the very best advertising, marketing and public relations companies in the world. We serve 5,000-plus clients in more than 100 countries. that positions us, first and foremost, to drive awareness about the issues we face as a people and as a planet as well as the potential solutions. But the exciting part is the potential of our industry, and our agencies in particular, to use the full range of communications channels advertising, Pr, online, offline to shape meaningful changes in behavior. Were also working to lead by example. in 2009, omnicom harnessed the innovative spirit of our agencies to strengthen our global enterprise. Were focused on supporting the agencies in our network as they nurture a diverse and creative workforce give back to their communities support a culture of integrity and implement smarter, more sustainable business practices to help us tread more lightly on our planet. For instance, over the past few years, weve been measuring, monitoring and managing our environmental footprint through a companywide energy reduction initiative. our goal is to reduce our overall electrical energy consumption 10 to 20 percent from our 2008 baseline by 2013. of course, that will do more than just reduce our energy use. it will have a positive impact on our bottom line, as well. and thats just one of the win-win outcomes that lie ahead. youll hear about more as you read this report. as we move forward in 2011, were committed to building on our successes. and all with one goal: to make a sustainable difference.

improving the world around us. Thats something that weve been applying our creative talents and financial resources toward for a long time, through our network of more than 1,500 advertising, pr and marketing agencies worldwide.
Those agencies enjoy a lot of autonomy. But were all partners, too. we constantly learn from each other, cultivating a better understanding of critical issues that impact society. And we take the next important step: sharing best practices on how to influence positive change. Sustainability is a prime example. whether its working to reduce energy consumption or striving for a more diverse workplace and supplier base or simply lending a helping hand when friends and neighbors need it most, omnicom agencies are committed to improving the communities we serve, and the world we share. no question about it, consumers are still looking for the products and services that make their lives simpler, richer and more convenient. But a growing number of consumers also want to feel good about the companies they choose to meet their needs. its no surprise that our agencies increasingly are helping clients to make sustainability and corporate citizenship a more visible, tangible aspect of their brand essence. But a commitment to sustainability true leadership in the social, environmental and governance aspects of business is much more than about image. its about doing well by doing good. within our own omnicom ranks, we work hard to maintain a corporate culture that fosters integrity and the highest ethical standards. everyone from the C-suite to the newest hire at one of our agencies is trained on our expectations and culture. weve also developed a global Citizenship and Sustainability policy that articulates our values and establishes standards for business conduct. its a policy built on the four pillars that frame this report: community, environment, workplace and governance. we believe a strong culture of sustainability must go far beyond mere compliance with laws and industry guidelines. its a belief we put into action every day as we make environmental improvements, find new and innovative ways to advance worthy causes and celebrate the power of diversity.

Pro Bono WorK

In todays tough economy, the pro bono efforts of our agencies are more vital than ever to many nonprofit organizations. Applying the same passion and creativity they bring to all our clients, our agencies help nonprofits raise awareness, recruit volunteers and increase financial and public support for their efforts to address some of todays toughest challenges. Just a few of these pro bono clients include the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Theodora Foundation, Inspire Ireland, Project Kaisei and Volunteers of America.

As the world slowly began to emerge from a global recession, employees at Omnicom and its agencies around the globe continued to remember those in need. In 2009, cash contributions totaled more than $5 million USD ... and that didnt include in-kind donations, service discounts or pro bono work. In 2010, cash donations rose to $6.8 million USD and benefited such causes as Ronald McDonald House Charities, Doctors Without Borders, the Cascade Land Conservancy, Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund and the March of Dimes. We take pride in our legacy of charitable giving, and were confident that our agencies generosity will continue through the ups and downs of the business environment.

the omniCom grouP and Plan international
Omnicom Groups single most extensive charitable effort has been our support of Plan International, a global development organization that works to alleviate child poverty worldwide. This support has ranged from helping secure water purification products in Zimbabwe to establishing youth training skills in India and Vietnam. Weve provided considerable financial and creative support to such efforts, as well as strategic advice in planning, brand development and cause-related marketing programs. Omnicom employees have also supported Plans global campaign, Because I am a Girl, to fight gender inequality, promote girls rights and lift millions out of poverty. Omnicoms support has been crucial to raising global awareness and resources and differentiating Plan in a crowded, competitive fundraising environment. Our partnership includes three years of financial support, lead generation, materials production and delivery of marketing expertise in support of Plans campaigns. At the core of the effort is our Global Corporate Partnership Engagement Unit (CPEU), a group we brought together to support innovative, crossborder partnerships with multinational corporations. The CPEU has coordinated strategic public relations efforts, assisted with the launch of Plans leading research publication The State of the Worlds Girls and secured membership for Plan at leading business forums including the World Economic Forum, the Clinton Global Initiative and the UN Global Compact. To date, the CPEU has helped develop partnerships with Omnicom clients like Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo and coordinates financial and in-kind commitments from many other leading global businesses. Two Procter & Gamble grants, for example, will provide nearly 3 million gallons of safe drinking water to vulnerable children and families in Zimbabwe and the Sudan.

BBdo releases i,000 Cranes for Japan

1 2 3
Following devastating earthquakes and a tsunami, employees of BBdo in Japan said that, in addition to practical support, the Japanese people needed words of encouragement from friends around the world. That inspired agency employees elsewhere in Japan, Singapore, Canada and around the world to create a way for anyone, anywhere to share a message of hope. An ancient Japanese legend promises that someone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish. So, BBdo decided to invite the global community to fold not just 1,000, but thousands upon thousands of cranes. At 1000cranes4japan.org, people can write an inspirational message on a virtual origami crane. The crane then digitally folds itself and joins a strand of 1,000 paper cranes. each completed strand sends a communal wish for hope and healing. people can also use the 1,000 cranes website to make a monetary donation in support of the Japanese red Cross Society. in April, BBdos Tokyo office began distributing actual origami cranes with translated messages to the Japanese people.

when natural disasters devastate communities, destroy homes and uproot families, the people of omnicom are always ready and willing to step in and help. when devastating earthquakes hit Japan in march 2011 and haiti in January 2010, omnicom agencies responded quickly. our employees provided substantial financial support and worked with clients to provide medicine, water and other supplies and services.

JaPan earthQuaKe/tsunami relieF

The devastating earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis that struck Japan in march 2011 left millions of people in need. in addition to the lives lost and severe damage from earthquakes, fires and floods, 5 million households were left without electricity and 1 million without water. more than 370,000 people were either evacuated or displaced. omnicom contributed to the American red Cross and set up a customized online donation web page where employees at our agencies also could contribute. we chose the red Cross because of its reach and trusted ability to deliver when natural disasters put lives, safety and personal security on the line. in addition, several omnicom agencies stepped forward with their own efforts to support the victims.

suPPorting haiti
in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake that hit haiti in January 2010, omnicom joined the world community in supporting relief efforts. our goal was to direct resources to active, on-theground organizations providing high-impact relief and long-term recovery. Thorough research led us to the Clinton Bush haiti Fund. we encouraged our companies and employees around the world to consider donating to the Fund, and omnicom pledged to match, dollar-for-dollar, all employee contributions up to $1 million uSd. Across our network, omnicom agencies stepped up to do their part. gSd&m idea City in Austin, Texas, offered pro bono creative services to help raise funds. The agency created a public service announcement featuring stars morgan Freeman, Tim mcgraw, Julia roberts and meryl Streep on behalf of The Advertising Council and the American red Cross. in london, porter novelli and Fleishman-hillard faced off in a charity football (soccer) match to help raise money for the people of haiti. each team included agency employees plus celebrities, journalists and ex-professional footballers. (For the record, porter novelli won the match, 11 to 3.) The agencies also hosted an auction of football memorabilia and photograph opportunities with the players. The event raised 2,000 British pounds for the Clinton Bush haiti Fund. omnicom matched the gift, bringing the total raised to 4,000.

emPloyee volunteerism
From our corporate headquarters to agency offices around the globe, our employees are the lifeblood of a culture that believes in the importance of giving back. we are proud of the work, commitment and time omnicom agencies and employees give to our communities whether it is in the form of organizing fundraising events, serving on foundation and nonprofit boards or improving the environment in which children live and play. These efforts make a difference, and we will continue to support and celebrate the efforts of our agencies and employees as they give their time and talents to help others.

omniCom day oF serviCe

In November 2009, Omnicom hosted its third Day of Service. Employees from our Connecticut office hosted the days events at the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Microsociety School in Yonkers, N.Y. A large elementary school in use year-round for school and community activities, maintenance staff rarely have the opportunity to perform large-scale improvement projects. Omnicom staff, together with their families, cleaned and painted hallways, classrooms and public spaces to provide a bright and cheerful environment for the kids. In addition, we built a small computer center that will be used for instruction, publishing the school newspaper and, eventually, technology classes for the community at large.

omniCom Charity soCCer tournament

On Oct. 31, 2009, Omnicoms Diversified Agency Services (DAS) partnered with Unisono Field Marketing to create a special service event: the Omnicom Charity Soccer Tournament. The event was inspired by Simon Dalby, president of DAS Asia Pacific. More than 100 participants from ten Omnicom agencies gathered in Shanghai for the tournament and charity auction. Even more are expected to attend the 2011 event, including some prominent Omnicom agency clients such as Unilever. Proceeds from the 2009 event benefited Braille Without Borders, an organization that enables blind people to become self-sufficient and empowers them to make a positive contribution to society. With Omnicoms support, a blind acupuncture doctor named Mary Ma Lirong was sent to the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in India. There, she learned new skills that enabled her to begin a social project in China. The 2011 event will continue to support Marys journey to help her, and her project, get to the next phase of development.

FinanCial leadershiP ConFerenCes
Every year, Omnicom holds three regional financial leadership conferences. In addition to discussing the state of our business, we use these opportunities to unite people from around the world in service. Each year, we select a special project to give back to the community that hosts us for the week. In conjunction with the 2010 Omnicom European Financial Conference, volunteers worked together to revitalize parts of Kids Village on the outskirts of Budapest, Hungary. Kids Village, founded in 1957, is an orphanage that sits on 40 hectares of public park land and provides a refuge for boys and girls of all ages, abilities and nationalities. Omnicom volunteers painted murals, moved and assembled furniture, planted gardens and built an outside play area, small animal enclosure and World Compass garden. Omnicom also made a cash donation of $80,000 that was used to purchase a transport van for disabled children. During our 2010 Americas Financial Leadership Conference in Las Vegas, Nev., nearly 150 Omnicom volunteers came out to support St. Judes Ranch for Children, a home and healing center for abused, abandoned and neglected children in Boulder City, Nev. We partnered with teams from Care Force, Hello Las Vegas, Perini Building Company and local and national sponsors to replace damaged or missing light fixtures and ceiling tiles, remove trash and weeds from the property, re-organize donation areas and provide new computers and furniture for the classroom. Omnicom also contributed $80,000 to help the ranch continue work towards its mission. During the 2010 Asia Pacific Financial Leadership Conference in April of 2010, the group came together to support Nur Salam, a 24-hour drop-in and crisis center in the Chow Kit district of Kuala Lumpur. Through an auction and a volunteer clean-up service project, we raised more than $11,000 USD to help fund essential programs. Nur Salam opened in 2001 as a daycare center, but now serves more than 460 children most after school and on weekends and helps them grow into happy, healthy, productive adults.

ddB, omd and tBWa\egypt Clean up in Cairo

when social and political unrest gripped egypt in early February 2011, eventually toppling the presidency of hosni mubarak, it was unsafe for TBwAs Cairo staff to venture to the office. while protesters filled the streets, employees used mobile phones and social media to check on each others welfare and brainstorm ways to make a difference in the midst of the turmoil. The TBwA\egypt staff returned to the office full of ideas and energy. After some additional brainstorming with ddB, el Balad Baladna (This place is our Country) was born. The initiative organizes street actions, the first of which drew more than 100 volunteers to Batal Ahmed Abdel Azis Street in the suburb of mohandniseen. The street was a central corridor for protesters going to and from Tahrir Square.

more than 52,000 FaCeBooK Fans & nearly 500 FolloWers on tWitter.
donning bright red jackets, the el Balad Baladna team spent Saturday, February 19, painting over graffiti and scrubbing the street, sidewalks and walls. TBwA secured its client henkel (in particular its persil detergent and pril dishwashing liquid brands) to sponsor the day of service and provide needed cleaning supplies, tools, paint, brushes and trash-removal equipment. working with omd as the main media arm, TBwA produced print ads, several advertorials and web banners. TBwA and ddB created two Tv spots that were broadcast on egyptian television, and the Al Balad Baladna project has been featured in international trade publications, including Advertising Age. As of April 2011, six additional events had taken place to improve other Cairo neighborhoods. TBwA continues to support this effort through text messages and by engaging the efforts more than 52,000 Facebook fans and nearly 500 followers on Twitter (@elbaladbaladna).

given our scope as one of the largest advertising, marketing and communications service providers in the world, we at omnicom recognize that our business impacts the planet. Thats why we are measuring, monitoring and reducing energy consumption in our offices and encouraging our employees to be good environmental stewards. we started measuring our carbon footprint in 2008. And based on that data, were also working more efficiently to reduce greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions across our operations. in fact, weve

set an aggressive goal to reduce overall energy consumption 10 to 20 percent from that 2008 baseline by 2013. in addition to reducing our impact at the corporate level, our more than 1,500 agencies have specific, focused initiatives to reduce their own environmental impact. many also provide strategic counsel to help shape the sustainability efforts of their clients, which include corporations, government agencies and nonprofits across the globe.

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. To help meet that challenge, global enterprises like omnicom must do our part to reduce greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions and lessen our environmental impact. Advertising agency TBwA paved the way by conducting an energy assessment in 2007. Soon after, it successfully launched an organization-wide emissions reduction target. The initiative proved so successful omnicom used TBwAs model to implement a companywide plan to affect change both at the corporate level and across our global network of agencies.

measuring our FootPrint

The goal at Omnicom is clear: to reduce the environmental impact of all activities associated with our business. We began that process by assessing our carbon footprint. In 2008, we performed our first large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions assessment. We engaged all of our 1,500 agencies to get a unified picture of electric, fuel, oil and natural gas consumption, as well as employee business-related automobile and air travel. This process brought us to what were confident is an accurate CO2 emissions baseline. Were proud of the significant progress weve made in decreasing our footprint year over year, and we know our Energy Reduction Initiative has played a big role in that effort. For example, our Scope 2 emissions were significantly reduced by purchasing more

energy from renewable sources. As agencies sign new contracts for electricity, especially in our European offices where an open electricity market forces competition, theyre increasingly creating carbon-free and carbon-neutral solutions. While one may be tempted to look at the data in our footprint and calculate year-over-year reductions, it is important to note some of the other factors that have influenced our emissions numbers. For example, in 2009, we closed one of our corporate offices in Detroit, which reduced our footprint considerably. In addition, Omnicom acquires and divests companies each year and while that practice in and of itself may not create a dramatic shift in our actual emissions, it does impact our emissions reporting, sometimes significantly. For example, Omnicom divested Gavin Anderson & Company in 2010, along with several other companies, and acquired several smaller firms. The sizeable footprint created by Gavin Anderson and the other divested companies was erased from the books immediately. The newly-acquired firms do, however, take some time before coming online with our emissions reporting system. As a result, some of them are not factored into our 2010 numbers. Thats a long way of saying that we recognize the importance of accuracy and transparency in our reporting, and therefore work diligently to collect and track data in as uniforma manner as possible, recognizing the fluctuations in our portfolio.

methodology
while this may seem like the fine print, its very important to us to get this right. Thats why, to calculate our carbon footprint, omnicom uses the guidelines established by The greenhouse gas protocol initiative (a partnership between the world resources institute and the world Business Council for Sustainable development). while we have 1,500 agencies, many of them co-locate and share leases. we gather data from around 1,000 separate locations to calculate our Scope 1, 2 and 3 level emissions. we then convert the gathered information into our carbon emissions total (measured in metric tons) using formulas provided by ghg protocols. we recognize the potential for human error with such a large number of individuals gathering and inputting data globally. To minimize misreporting, we validate against financial data, such as electricity and travel costs. we know that agency costs in those fields should also be accounted for in ghg reporting. if we notice gaps, we are then able to follow up with the agency directly. we collect our electricity consumption data in: a) kilowatt hours (kwh); b) cost in uSd and c) office space in square meters. our corporate real estate department is conducting an on-going analysis on properties directly leased by omnicom to determine energy efficiency on a property-by-property basis in those locations where omnicom pays the direct electricity costs and has the ability to measure and monitor electricity usage. we use this data to rank properties by level of energy efficiency on two key data points: kwh cost per rentable square foot, and kwh cost per headcount.

reduCing our imPaCt

energy reduCtion initiative
Electricity use at Omnicom accounts for more than a third of our total CO2 emissions. It also represents a significant expense for our company. To address both, we launched the Omnicom Energy Reduction Initiative in early 2010. The Initiative helps agencies

omnicom is working with our networks and agencies to reduce our environmental impacts, especially when it comes to energy consumed for electricity. Although specific energy targets are determined by each agencys overall usage, omnicom aims to reduce overall consumption 10 to 20 percent from our 2008 baseline by 2013.

start with smart, low-cost changes, such as shifting employee electricity consumption behaviors and encouraging small but important energy improvements, such as installing energy-efficient lighting and power strips for office equipment.

specifically, we focus on:

green Building
omnicom has more than 700 properties throughout our network of agencies. while energy reduction varies greatly based on procurement and consumption, we have several corporate initiatives to improve efficiency through renovations, technology improvements, energy purchases and collaboration with building owners. in 2009, omnicom enlisted a consultant to complete an analysis of selected buildings and identify energy-reduction strategies based on consumption data. Together, we have identified properties where we can address inefficiencies and implement energy-reduction plans.

lighting
we have special lighting efforts, designed to reduce the impact our commercial buildings have on global Co2 emissions. At the most basic level, weve taken steps reminding people to turn off office lights at night and power-down computers. we also encourage agencies to replace incandescent lights with more energy efficient compact fluorescent lights and to use task lighting, dimmers, sensors and timers, lighting configurations and natural light to reduce energy use.

Computers & office equipment

led by our Strategic Alliance Services (SAS), we use energy-efficient methods of procurement and seek out energy-efficient office equipment such as personal computers and servers, printers and paper sourcing. SAS also works with procurement offices at agencies to help them make more sustainable purchases.

Partnering With agenCies

omnicom agencies employ some of the brightest creative minds in the world thousands of talented individuals who thrive on delivering solutions to complex problems. many are just as passionate about environmental issues and have helped spark innovative solutions for their own agencies, and our entire network. omnicom has developed a series of tools to support their efforts and help every agency reach its sustainability goals.

omg germany makes a game of sustainability

omg germany sought to change the way people think about their energy use habits. however, the team wanted its energy reduction initiative (eri) to be fun and interactive and get everyone in the office involved. After an extensive energy- and water-use audit and two months of research, the team issued a challenge. Teams of 6-7 people were organized for a three-month competition to find the most energyefficient group in the office. The prize? A bonus vacation day for every member of the winning team. The premise of the game was simple: Break a rule, earn a point. The team with the fewest points wins. See below for some of the rules of the game. The energy team explained the rules on a video that also included analogies to help people better understand their environmental impact for example how paper towels stack up in terms of actual trees. The rules were enforced through random inspections. eri leaders came in early and stayed late to make sure windows were closed, computers were shut down and systems were in check. in the end, the program was considered a great success for the environment and a fun teambuilding exercise for omg employees.

engaging omniCom emPloyees

At Omnicom, we are working to make environmental awareness as integral to our culture as our focus on diversity, our commitment to quality work and our commitment to world-class customer service. Hand in hand with our agencies, we have been taking simple steps at our Connecticut headquarters to encourage employees to adopt more sustainable practices. For example, we ask that employees turn off lights and power down computers at the end of the day. We also have a comprehensive recycling program and use high-efficiency, double-sided printing. Recently, our Greenwich, Conn., office partnered with Apple to host the first electronics recycling day. During the fiveday collection, our employees filled eight containers each one set atop a wooden pallet with hard box sides four-feet high filled with computers, monitors, televisions, cell phones, portable projectors, printers and other gadgets for recycling. We collected nearly two tons of equipment for recycling. Next year, we plan to expand the event by inviting Omnicom companies that have recently moved into our Greenwich building to join us.

The omnicom diversity initiatives group (dig) is a group of 23 omnicom agency representatives that meet monthly to share best practices and develop tools to efficiently and effectively incorporate diversity and inclusion initiatives at omnicom offices. Among digs 2011 efforts is a new management and inclusion workshop launching in July. The multi-day seminar will help arm leaders across the network to recruit and support talent from diverse backgrounds by creating a welcoming and receptive workplace environment.

osdi
Omnicom also has taken a leadership role in supplier diversity by developing the Omnicom Supplier Diversity Initiative (OSDI). OSDIs first initiative was to launch the Omnicom Supplier Diversity Database (OSDD) in 2010 to expand access to diverse suppliers across our global network of agencies. The database currently includes more than 900 minority- and women-owned vendors. It serves as a resource for Omnicom agencies to spur collaboration with clients and the supplier community, and successfully utilize mutually beneficial business relationships that help meet Omnicoms internal diversity goals as well as those of our clients.

g23
In 2008, Omnicoms most senior female executives and distinguished thought leaders founded G23 a global strategic insights consultancy focused on the economic and social impact of women in a global economy, and activating them on behalf of our clients. Just one year after the launch, the group released ground-breaking global research data that organized the women of the world into eight tribes based not on geographic location but on their Economic Power Index. In 2010, the group provided updated research that highlighted the changes in womens roles as we emerge from the global recession. G23 works with some of Omnicoms largest clients to mine the deep insights which lay the foundation for more meaningful engagement and dialog with women in all their life stages.

Women in leadershiP
Every time a woman within Omnicom hears or reads about G23, I get a phone call or e-mail, asking if they can join. That says to me that there are great opportunities to foster and sponsor that lift women of Omnicom to do great things and become our future leaders.

amv BBdo
Amv BBdos Farah ramzan golant was awarded the Commander of the order of the British empire (CBe), Britains highest honor, on new Years eve 2010 in recognition of her contributions to the advertising industry. The award is typically presented to leaders in business and public sector, rarely to individuals in advertising and communications. ramzan golants award speaks to the increasingly important role advertising and communications have in the global economy and the unique culture ramzan golant has fostered as the leader of Amv BBdo.

What attracted me to amV in the first place Was that its an agency founded on creatiVity and friendship and in that respect nothing has changed since i first joined the firm in 1990,
ramzan golant said.
But, of the many things that have changed over the last 21 years, one thing certainly is evident. Abbot, mead and vickers the companys founders were all men. now, more than half of the companys board is women. i sometimes say, sarcastically, that the future is female, ramzan golant said. many of our most senior clients are women, and i see more evidence in their corporate boardrooms of the need for collaboration and building relationships of trust, not just performance. These are areas where women have natural talents. But ramzan golant is as focused on advancing womens careers so much as on attracting and rewarding the best talent. The Amv BBdo team is young the Coo is just 35 and the Ceo was a graduate intern just 15 years ago. And they deliver. This year, Amv BBdo is celebrating its 30th anniversary with Britains grocery chain Sainsburys as well as more than 20 years representing British Telecom and 25 years with The economist. what weve achieved is not some mad men-type agency where youre expected to do time before you are rewarded, ramzan golant said. we are a workplace where individual aptitudes and capabilities are nurtured and where people are encouraged to step forward with their ideas.
