About Rud Pedersen

Founded 25 years ago in Stockholm, the Rud Pedersen Group is today Europe’s leading public affairs and strategic communications consultancy, with more than 600 employees across 20 European capitals.

Our Mission

As Europe — and France in particular — undergoes profound political, economic, and social transformations, companies and organizations need, more than ever, a partner who can balance economic performance with civic engagement.

Public affairs and communications must now integrate societal expectations, the demand for transparency, and the responsibilities that fall on economic actors in this changing world.

At Rud Pedersen, we share a common vision of Europe: an economic Europe capable of driving growth, competitiveness, and innovation while welcoming international investors; and a political Europe proud of its democratic values and assuming its strategic role in a fragmented world where power dynamics are being redrawn. This vision shapes how we support companies — companies that, more than ever, have a voice to be heard in the European public debate.
