Planet, People & Prosperity and Principles of Governance
Continuing to meet or beat our ESG goalsand commitments
From helping to tackle climate change and promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in the workplace, to supporting organisational transparency and ethical honesty, businesses have a powerful responsibility to ensure our planet’s health and protect our people.
How organisations do this is still a matter of choice, but at ManpowerGroup UK we choose to lead from the front in the belief that not only will our ESG plans and actions help the planet, our employees and the people and businesses we work with, but also set a positive example that others may follow.

ManpowerGroup UK delivers a crucial contribution to our organisation’s worldwide ESG goals. Across the entire UK operation, we are actively reducing emissions, cutting back on waste, expanding our training programmes and ensuring a safe and supportive working environment for all our employees and associates. All of this is against a backdrop of transparency, honesty and integrity – not as a marketing or publicity tool – but as a fundamental part of our strategy.
Ultimately, we understand that the pathway to a greener, better future is a long road, but it is a road we must all tread together. ManpowerGroup UK is proud to lead the way.
The ManpowerGroup UK ESG Progress Report 2023-2024 follows on from our in-depth 2023 ESG analysis - detailing some of the progress we have made in the past 12 months.
At ManpowerGroup UK, our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals are not just aspirational; they are integral to who we are, what we do and what we believe in. ESG sits as a foundation to our success. We have moved beyond merely setting targets to actively delivering results across environmental sustainability, social impact and governance standards.
Our global ESG emissions goals commit us to achieving net zero emissions by 2045, underscoring our dedication to meaningful climate action. This commitment resonates with our stakeholders, who increasingly demand robust ESG practices, and we are proud to lead in this area.
Our ‘Working for a Greener, Better Future: The 2023 UK ESG Report’ was our first detailed account of our local contributions to our global ESG objectives. This progress report demonstrates how far we've come across the three pillars of our strategy: Planet, People & Prosperity, and Principles of Governance.
We are dedicated to leading our industry in sustainability and social responsibility, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of our clients, candidates and employees. Together, we are working towards a greener, fairer and more prosperous future.
