Havas Further Reinforces CSR and Communications Global Teams

To accelerate Havas’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) journey, Stéphanie Bertrand-Tassilly, global chief communications and CSR Officer up to now, will focus solely on managing a new department dedicated to CSR and will be relinquishing her communications responsibilities as of April 3rd, 2023. CSR is an integral part of Havas’s ethos, as the group’s mission is to make a meaningful difference to brands, businesses, and people, and to bring positive change in society as a whole. Havas has already made great progress and launched the 'Havas Impact+' program in 2020, but there is opportunity to grow the approach and better coordinate the programs and leaders around the world on these issues.

Stéphanie brings a wealth of expertise from her past experiences at Prisma Media that she will use in her new role of global chief CSR officer and member of the executive committee, to strengthen and deploy the group’s sustainability strategy. She will structure and coordinate the CSR resources in the markets where the group operates to ensure that there is exceptional collaboration across the network and that global resources are leveraged in how clients are supported.

As part of this reorganisation, Charlotte Rambaud, who has been chief of staff to Havas CEO, Yannick Bolloré, for the past three years, is appointed to the role of global chief communications officer and will be a member of the executive committee, effective as of April 3rd, 2023. In her new role, Charlotte will be responsible for overseeing all the external and internal communications for Havas with a particular focus on further developing the brand in the marketplace. She will work closely with the Creative, Media and Health divisions to coordinate all communications efforts across the world.

“I would like to warmly congratulate Stéphanie and Charlotte on their new roles, in which they will continue to work with our teams across the world to expand our CSR and Communications strategies. This is a great example of the internal mobility we promote at Havas and Vivendi, by offering our talents the opportunity to evolve and move between roles and teams”, said Yannick Bolloré, chairman and CEO of Havas.
