Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 6,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reliance on indirect emissions sources. Kelly Services has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, which may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
