Ipsos Promotes for Sustainability / ESG Role

Ipsos has promoted twenty-year company veteran Lauren Demar to Chief Sustainability Officer and Global Head of ESG.

Since joining the group in July 2002 Demar has worked in roles including Global CEO for the Market Strategy and Innovation practice areas, and more recently as Global Chief Growth Officer, leading the firm's Local Client Organizations. She is also a member of the global executive committee.

In her new role, she will oversee the group's ESG programme, focusing on its work on carbon reduction and sustainability, its global social and charitable programmes, and its work on inclusion and diversity - for itself and for clients.

Demar says she is 'thrilled to be leading this important mission for Ipsos'. She adds: 'We are uniquely positioned to provide clients with a true understanding of society, markets and people, which is job number one when embarking on an ESG journey. Our evidence and expertise allow clients to drive their sustainability and societal impact agenda, enabling Ipsos to contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and prosperous future for people and the planet'.

Global CEO Ben Page comments: 'ESG is increasingly important for us as professionals, for our clients, investors and for the society we want to live in. Lauren Demar will accelerate our actions in this field with the energy and the integrity she is recognized for'.
