In 2023, Publicis Groupe generated a total of 4,614 metric tonnes of waste.

In 2023, Publicis Groupe reported a total waste generation of 4,614 metric tonnes, of which 34.37% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Publicis Groupe is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2021, Publicis Groupe's total waste generation increased by 64.9%, including a 67.23% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Publicis Groupe's waste recovery rate declined by 27.74%, with a further 36.86% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Publicis Groupe is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
