JCDecaux

Together, delivering solutions for a safe and secure future

We’re JCDecaux, the world’s largest digital out‑of‑home media business. You will almost certainly have used or seen our products, services and communication channels – on high streets and major roads, in transport hubs, shopping malls and supermarkets – across the country and in more than 80 countries worldwide, even if you didn’t realise it was us.

Our communication channels help businesses grow and thrive, and support non‑commercial organisations to reach the widest possible audience with important messages.

Our talented team make all this happen, working in a wide variety of roles to connect brands and communities.

We’re really proud that 50p in every £1 of revenue is reinvested into the communities we serve, enabling us to provide innovative, environmentally responsible infrastructure and services designed to make cities better for everyone. This principle has been at the heart of our business from the beginning.

If you join us, you will make a real difference.

Diversity & inclusion

We believe in building a diverse, inclusive culture and a positive employee experience.

  • We are One Team – more than just ourselves.
  • We are customer first – we understand and help solve our customers’ problems.
  • We test & learn – we are empowered to learn and grow, unafraid of change.
  • We choose to care – we are committed to doing the right thing, the right way.

It’s really important to us that we give as much to our colleagues as they give to us. Our latest Belonging Survey showed that our colleagues feel valued and listened to, as we continue to build an environment where everyone can thrive, grow, belong and be their authentic selves.

We believe that diversity of thought, experience and background provides the platform for great creativity. We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability or gender identity.

Inclusion initiatives

Actions completed in 2025

  • Recruitment into traditionally male roles: Encourage and attract females into roles which are perceived by many as traditionally male. We have used several different routes and seen early success by ensuring our job adverts are attractive to female candidates, and by broadening our reach through career fairs and partnerships with third parties.
  • Leadership shortlists: Ensure that females are being put forward for more senior roles. Wherever possible, we will ensure that at least one female candidate is put forward for any leadership role.
  • Data-driven strategy: Use data to review and understand underlying issues, working with our “Difference Matters” colleague group to agree on focus areas.
  • Retention support: Support female colleagues to remain in the workforce to help overcome the disproportionate impact of parenthood and caring on women.
  • Maternity & health programs: Added a maternity returner support programme to our learning and development offer, in addition to our policies supporting hormonal health, fertility health, and pregnancy loss.
  • Carers’ support: Introduced 5 days of paid carers’ leave, a “Care Matters” Employee Resource group, and a new eldercare support benefit, as well as training for our Mental Health advocates to support carers.

Actions for 2026

For this year, we want to continue from our efforts in 2025 and commit to the following actions:

  • Sustaining 2025 pledges: Continual commitment to previous year’s pledges, building on our use of data and ensuring female candidates on shortlists.
  • Internal talent development: Further enhancing our approach to developing our talent internally by focusing on skills-based career planning. This will enable careers across different departments and via project-related working, making it easier for everyone to progress their careers at JCDecaux.
  • Coaching & networking: Providing dedicated coaching and networking opportunities for women and those who identify as female via membership of a female networking and development group, as well as expanding other coaching programmes and encouraging women to participate.

Our 2025 gender pay gap report

At JCDecaux UK, we believe that transparency is essential to building an inclusive, equitable workplace where all our employees can thrive. We are pleased to share our Gender Pay Gap Report for the 2025 reporting year, outlining our progress and the key metrics driving our ongoing commitment to equality. The figures below provide a snapshot of our organisation’s pay and bonus gaps, calculated in accordance with the UK Government’s reporting requirements.

Median hourly pay gap

Women’s median hourly pay is 20.6% higher than men’s. This means that women at JCDecaux UK earn £1.21 for every £1 earned by men when comparing median hourly rates.

Bonus pay distribution

A slightly higher percentage of our female workforce received a bonus this year. 93.8% of women received bonus pay, compared to 91.5% of men.

While our data reflects strong female representation across various levels of our business, particularly in higher-earning roles, we recognize that true equity requires continuous focus. We remain dedicated to fostering a diverse environment, supporting career development at all levels, and ensuring that JCDecaux UK is a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
