In 2024, Adecco Group reported 822,451 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Adecco Group includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Adecco Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 822,451 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 99.9% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0.1% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Adecco Group's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 20.33%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Adecco Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Adecco Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Adecco Group reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Adecco Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Adecco Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 40,426 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 24,077 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.68 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Adecco Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.68 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.25, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Adecco Group ranked 17 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Adecco Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Adecco Group reported a total carbon footprint of 891,787 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 4.34% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Adecco Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 92.23% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 4.53%.a
