== History ==

[[Jean-Claude Decaux]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/jean-claude-decaux/ |title=Jean-Claude Decaux & family |last= |first= |date= |website=Forbes |access-date=3 May 2022}}</ref> (1937-2016) first created a company in 1955 that specialised in [[Out-of-home advertising|outdoor advertising]] alongside motorways. However, as these billboards were heavily taxed by law, Jean-Claude Decaux turned towards a business model in 1964 that was based on city billboards and invented the concept of advertising street furniture – well-maintained bus shelters fully funded by advertisers.<ref name="CampaignLifeObit" />

In 1999, the group acquired Havas Media Communication and Avenir.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/jc-decaux-buy-havas-outdoor-advertising-division/47997 |title=JC Decaux to buy Havas' outdoor advertising division |last= |first= |date=27 April 1999 |website=campaignlive.co.uk |access-date=5 May 2022}}</ref> This acquisition allowed the group to expand into the large-format advertising market and advertising in airports. In 2001, JCDecaux entered the Euronext Stock Exchange<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2001-09-19/news-in-brief-jc-decaux-enters-euronext-index?ea9c8a2de0ee111045601ab04d673622|title = Financial News - Setting the agenda for the City}}</ref> with an opening share price of €16.50. In 2002, Jean-Claude Decaux passed the management of the company on to two of his three sons, Jean-Charles Decaux and Jean-François Decaux , who then became co-[[CEO]]s of the company.<ref name="CampaignLifeObit">{{cite news|url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/jean-claude-decaux-tributes-shoe-sellers-son-changed-face-advertising/1396889|title=Jean-Claude Decaux: tributes to shoe seller's son who changed the face of advertising|first=Omar|last=Oakes|date=2016-05-31|access-date=2025-04-20}}</ref>

In 2011, JCDecaux acquired French [[kiosk]] business MediaKiosk.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/france-benelux-stocks-idINL5E7LL0GR20111021 |title=French and Benelux stocks-Factors to watch on Oct 21 |last= |first= |date=21 October 2011 |website=Reuters |access-date=3 June 2022}}</ref>

In January 2022, JCDecaux reported its 2021 revenue as $3.06&nbsp;billion, an increase of 18.7%, which was perceived as an indication that the out-of-home market had recovered from the disruption caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] restrictions of the previous years.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.adweek.com/media/jcdecaux-results-show-recovery-of-confidence-in-out-of-home/ |title=JCDecaux Results Show Recovery of Confidence in Out of Home |last=Lepitak |first=Stephen |date=28 January 2022 |website=Adweek |access-date=29 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2022/03/10/2400491/0/en/JCDecaux-Full-Year-2021-results.html |title=JCDecaux: Full-Year 2021 results |last= |first= |date=10 March 2022 |website=GlobeNewswire |access-date=1 July 2022}}</ref>

===Controversies===
====Helsinki Finns Party campaign====
During the [[2021 Finnish municipal elections]], a campaign in [[Helsinki public transport]] run by JCDecaux on the behalf of the [[Finns Party]] was accused of racism and spreading inflammatory messages by suggesting that immigrants are preferred to the native Finns in the allocation of municipally owned rental housing in Helsinki. Consequently, JCDecaux and [[Helsinki City Transport]] have decided to cancel the campaign. This in turn was criticized by the Finns Party, including by its chairman [[Jussi Halla-aho]], however, the party's request for a formal police investigation was denied.<ref name=Yle>{{cite news |title=Perussuomalaisten paheksuntaa herättäneet vaalimainokset poistetaan katukuvasta – Halla-aho: Mielenkiintoista, jos mainoslauseiden on oltava kirjaimellisesti totta |url=https://yle.fi/a/3-11969327 |access-date=14 July 2025 |work=Yle}}</ref><ref name=Yle-en>{{cite news |title=HKL boss not suspected of official misconduct in election advertising scandal |url=https://yle.fi/a/3-11977942 |access-date=14 July 2025 |work=Yle}}</ref>

====Pro-Russian ads in Norway====
During the early campaign before the [[2025 Norwegian parliamentary election]], the company was criticized for running an advertisement campaign on the [[Oslo Metro]] echoing [[Russian disinformation]] techniques and opposing [[Norway|Norwegian]] military aid to [[Ukraine]] following the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion]]. The campaign was ostensibly funded by a newly established pro-Russian party [[Peace and Justice (Norway)|Peace and Justice]] (FOR). However, the party neither reported donations anywhere near the required amount nor disclosed its funding sources, leading to strong suspicions of foreign interference and possible Russian financing. As a result, the Political Parties Act Committee launched an investigation into the campaign. JCDecaux’s Norway head, Gisle Holst Roness, declined to disclose how much the company was paid.<ref name=NRK>{{cite news |title=Nytt politisk parti nektar å oppgi kven som betalar for stor kampanje |url=https://www.nrk.no/norge/nytt-politisk-parti-nektar-a-oppgi-kven-som-betalar-for-stor-kampanje-1.17422492 |access-date=19 May 2025 |work=NRK}}</ref> The campaign also drew sharp criticism from Oslo Sporveiers Arbeiderforening (OSA), the city’s largest transport union, which denounced the ads as “populist, divisive and irresponsible,” stating that such messages “pollute the urban environment” and “undermine fundamental values such as international solidarity and the fight for peace and democracy.”<ref>{{cite news |title=Fagforening i Sporveien Oslo tar avstand fra politisk reklame |url=https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/xmjGQQ/oslo-sporveiers-arbeiderforening-tar-avstand-fra-splittende-politisk-reklame |access-date=19 May 2025 |work=Aftenposten}}</ref> The campaign was aborted after the party has accused the operator [[Sporveien]], and consequently JCDecaux, of [[breach of contract]] due to the widespread vandalism aimed at the anti-Ukraine posters.<ref>{{cite news |title=Partiet FOR avslutter reklamekontrakt |url=https://www.nrk.no/norge/rev-ned-partireklame-pa-t-banen-1.17423839 |access-date=14 July 2025 |work=NRK}}</ref>

==Bicycle rentals==
