Adecco's reported carbon emissions

Adecco reported approximately 867.6 million kg CO2e in 2025, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 42.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions at approximately 11.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 813.5 million kg CO2e. The majority of its Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were from employee commutes, accounting for approximately 763.5 million kg CO2e. In 2024, Adecco's total emissions were approximately 874.4 million kg CO2e, comprising approximately 40.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, around 12.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 821.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 3. Employee commute remained the largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions, at approximately 764.2 million kg CO2e. For 2023, Adecco's total emissions were approximately 932.2 million kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 38.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 26.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 866.9 million kg CO2e. Employee commute was again the dominant source of Scope 3 emissions, at approximately 795.8 million kg CO2e. Adecco has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 51.7% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. Additionally, it has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from employee commuting by 27.5% within the same timeframe. Furthermore, Adecco is working towards reducing its absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year. The company's long-term goal is to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with keeping global temperature increase to 1.5°C.
