WPP is moving to keep parts of a lawsuit by former executive Richard Foster out of public view, citing the inclusion of “highly confidential and sensitive” client and trade-secret information. Foster alleges WPP retaliated after he raised concerns about an improper global kickback operation and rebate withholding, with added details referencing a purported Sony probe. WPP points to a 2018 confidentiality agreement.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
