Adecco

Adecco, an employment placement agency headquartered in Switzerland, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 874,398,000 kg CO2e in 2024. This includes around 40,426,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 12,786,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 821,186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Notably, employee commuting accounted for a significant portion of Scope 3 emissions at approximately 764,153,000 kg CO2e in 2024.

Adecco has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. This long-term goal is supported by near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51.7% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, Adecco commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from employee commuting by 27.5% within the same 2019-2030 timeframe. For the long term, Adecco is targeting a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2019 base year. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
