Lindsay sits on WPP’s Inclusion Council, a body which gives a voice to under-represented groups, advises on appropriate DE&I goals, recommends new systems and strategies and identifies barriers to progress. The group’s impact has included introducing DE&I goals into the annual bonus plans of leaders across WPP, a critical step forward in the push for gender equality at the top of the industry, which is expected to have a ripple effect through all levels of seniority. Lindsay also sits on WPP’s Diversity Review Subcommittee, which set up an alert mechanism for WPP’s 100,000+ employees to report harmful stereotyping, and also created the Inclusivity Playbook, a best practice industry guide for marketers. Since 2007 Lindsay mentors between five and ten women annually, and in June 2020 she launched WPP’s inaugural Next Gen Internship Program with a talk on gender equality. The program reached 850 participants, and over 50% of applicants were women.
