Man About Formal Hire Sustainability Actions

Published fifth sustainability report

ManpowerGroup says it released its fifth annual Working to Change the World Sustainability Report for 2024-2025. The report describes progress across its three ESG pillars: Planet, People & Prosperity, and Principles of Governance. It presents the company’s sustainability work as part of a wider plan rather than a one-off project. The report is meant to show how the business says it is managing climate action, people issues, and governance together.

Set validated climate targets

In November 2021, ManpowerGroup said its greenhouse gas reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, a group that checks whether company climate targets match climate science. It also said it was the first and only company in its industry with this kind of independent validation at the time. The company linked these targets to a wider climate action plan that aims to measure and reduce emissions across its full value chain.

Started net zero plan

ManpowerGroup said in 2021 that it committed to reach net zero by 2045 or sooner. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets. The company said this goal is part of its climate action work and is tied to reducing emissions across its operations and wider value chain.

Joined UN Global Compact

The company says it has been active with the United Nations since signing the UN Global Compact in 2006. The UN Global Compact is a voluntary framework that asks companies to follow basic principles on human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. ManpowerGroup also says its ESG plan reflects the UN Sustainable Development Goals and that it focuses on the goals where it believes it can have the biggest impact.

Set supplier conduct rules

Man Group, a separate company in the source material, says it uses a Supplier Code of Conduct for consultants, contractors, and sub-contractors. The code sets minimum standards for suppliers on economic activity, environmental impact, and engagement with wider communities. This is a governance action because it tries to set rules for outside partners that work with the business.

Reduced office energy use

Man Group says it looks for practical ways to reduce energy use in its offices around the world. It also says it monitors environmental impact with help from third-party consultants, who are outside experts brought in to spot areas for improvement. This shows an operational effort to lower the company’s day-to-day environmental footprint.

Ran employee volunteering

Man Group says it supports community work through its ManKind volunteering programme and through its UK and US charitable foundations. It also says its charitable trust gives grants to education groups and supports employee fundraising and donations. These activities are framed as part of the company’s social impact work rather than product or sales activity.
