Supply Chain Responsibility

At The Adecco Group, we see our supply chain as an essential part of our business. It includes not just our own operations but also the network of suppliers, both direct and indirect, who provide us with services, products, and solutions worldwide. From obtaining raw materials to delivering final services, every part of this chain mirrors our values and dedication to responsible business practices.

 

Our Responsibility and Impact


As a global leader in workforce solutions, we are aware of the significant impact supply chains have on both people and the environment. It's notable that over 90% of environmental impacts in industries globally come from supply chains, underscoring the need for sustainable and ethical sourcing.

In addition to environmental issues, there are serious human rights concerns. In 2022, 28 million people were subjected to forced labour, and 160 million children were involved in child labour, with nearly half of them doing hazardous work. Workers' rights are also at risk, with many facing restrictions on freedom of speech, union activities, and access to justice in various parts of the world.

Our Commitment


At The Adecco Group, we strive to do more than just follow the rules. We are dedicated to making a positive impact in our supply chain by:

  • Ensuring Ethical Sourcing: We only work with suppliers who respect human rights, practice fair labour, and meet environmental standards.
  • Promoting Decent Work: We support fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to join unions across our supply network.
  • Driving Sustainability: We aim to reduce our environmental footprint by collaborating with suppliers who focus on sustainable practices and responsible use of resources.
  • Enhancing Transparency: We constantly evaluate and improve our supply chain visibility to reduce risks and ensure accountability.

We see a responsible supply chain as more than just a duty – it is a key strategy. By embedding sustainability and ethics into our procurement choices, we not only strengthen our business but also protect workers' rights and help build a more sustainable future.
