At the heart of our business

SUSTAINABILITY

JCDecaux is the highest-rated media company for sustainability,  well ahead of the media sector average, as ranked by 5 world-leading ESG ratings bodies.

My whole career has been driven by a constant desire for excellence, a strong emphasis on design and an obsession with always, always using our advertising based business model to serve the community.

Sustainable development

Sustainability has been at the heart of our business ever since our founder Jean Claude Decaux came up with the idea of providing bus shelters free-of-charge to councils, paid for by the advertising on them. Today we continue to develop innovative solutions that help cities and our partners prosper and grow, staying true to the vision of our founder to integrate sustainability into the fabric of our products  and our services.
