ManpowerGroup says it has cut operational emissions 39 percent from 2019 levels, bringing the company over halfway to its goal of 60 percent reductions by 2030.
This reduction was highlighted in the Milwaukee-based company’s 2021-2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance report. ManpowerGroup also plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 or sooner, the report shows.
Along with the direct emissions target, its 2030 goals include reducing emissions by 30 percent for its entire “value chain,” which includes more elements of its business model.
Some of the actions the company is taking to meet these goals include: minimizing business travel, boosting renewable energy usage, electrifying fleet vehicles, decarbonizing commuting, and engaging with suppliers to reduce their climate impact.
As part of this effort, the company plans to shift at least 75 percent of all offices to “renewably sourced” electricity by 2030. It says renewable energy usage in its 15 largest markets rose 31 percent between 2020 and 2021.
