In 2025, Randstad reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method.a
In 2025, Randstad reported 149,300 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 2025 disclosure of Randstad includes a breakdown across 4 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Randstad reported total Scope 3 emissions of 149,300 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Randstad's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 25.24%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Randstad's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Randstad's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Randstad reported emissions for 4 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Randstad's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Randstad reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 39,800 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 27,130 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.47 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Randstad reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.47 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.33, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Randstad ranked 14 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Randstad is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Randstad reported a total carbon footprint of 189,800 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 6.82% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Randstad's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 78.66% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 20.97%.a
