Four agencies owned by French advertising group [Havas](https://www.havas.com/?ref=protein.xyz) have been stripped of their B Corp status — a marker of high social, environmental and corporate governance standards — due to the company’s work for Shell, the group that oversees the certifications said. 

The decision underscores the growing reputational risks facing advertising and public relations firms that portray themselves as climate champions while simultaneously advancing the interests of oil and gas companies.

“Havas London, Havas Lemz, Havas New York, and Havas Immerse are no longer Certified B Corps,” B Lab UK said in a statement. “Other entities in the Havas group are also ineligible to certify.”
