The company publicly promotes DEI* through initiatives like employee resource groups and diversity-focused training, the EDI+You strategy, as well as #ClinicalEquality, aimed at racial equity in clinical trials led by Sommer Bazuro, a Black woman, with DEI oversight likely managed by Lisa DuJat, Chief Talent Officer. DEI racial equity training often emphasizes systemic racism, unconscious bias, and the need for racial equity, which may include discussions framing Whites as inherently privileged or complicit in perpetuating inequality. Parent company IPG’s 2023 Inclusion Impact Report details broader DEI efforts, including SOMOS for Hispanic/Latino employees and the Women’s Leadership Network, achieving 22% People of Color* in U.S. management. IPG Health CEO Dana Maiman said in a statement that the network is “relentlessly focused” on prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion for its clients and brands, and that IPG Health “strives to embody the principles of EDIBA (equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility) across its four key business pillars” (ANA Driving Growth).
IPG Health instructs companies on DEI practices.
*DEI "equity" involves prioritizing certain racial, gender, or identity groups with targeted resources or opportunities to ensure equal outcomes at the cost of fairness and individual merit. DEI’s equity focus shares some similarities with communism and socialism in its group-based, redistributive approach, and with totalitarianism in ideological coercion.
**IPG Media Brands’ practice of segregating employees into two adversarial racial categories, POC/BIPOC vs White, is concerning.
Institutional investors like BlackRock and Vanguard increasingly emphasize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors, including diversity and inclusion metrics, in their investment stewardship and proxy voting guidelines. This external pressure from major shareholders likely serves as a significant driver for IPG Media Brands' public commitments and strategic focus on ESG and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). Consequently, accountability for the design and impact of DEI initiatives rests primarily with the company's leadership and board, who must navigate these influential investor expectations.
