Social investment


Our companies have a long tradition of pro bono work - providing creative services to charities at little or no cost. This work can be invaluable, helping raise money and awareness for hundreds of good causes every year.

Pro bono work also benefits WPP by showcasing our creative skills and ability to create compelling communications on a wide range of social and environmental issues. Our people gain a breadth of experience and the chance to contribute to their communities.

We also support charities through cash donations and employee volunteering.
