Adecco Group Recognised as a Sustainability Leader in Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes
The Adecco Group, a global leader in Human Resource services based in Zurich, Switzerland, has been added to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) World and Europe. This recognition comes as a result of the company's commitment to sustainable business practices and transparency.
The Adecco Group underwent a thorough assessment, evaluating its performance across economic, environmental, and social criteria. The assessment, which involved comparing the company to nearly 1,500 of the largest companies worldwide, was conducted by Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) in cooperation with the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes.
To be included in the DJSI World and Europe, companies must meet specific criteria centered on sustainability performance. Companies are ranked based on their sustainability performance, drawn from an in-depth analysis covering multiple dimensions such as environmental management, social responsibility, corporate governance, and economic performance.
For instance, the DJSI World includes the top 20% of the largest companies within its benchmark universe. Inclusion is limited to large-cap companies that are part of a broad benchmark like the S&P Global BMI. Companies must also have ESG scores for consecutive years, which are used in ranking to select the highest performers.
The Adecco Group offers a wide variety of services, connecting over 750,000 associates with well over 100,000 clients every day. Their services fall into the broad categories of temporary staffing, permanent placement, outsourcing, consulting, and outplacement.
The company, registered in Switzerland (ISIN: CH0012138605) and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ADEN), notes that actual results could differ materially from their current expectations due to numerous factors such as global GDP trends, changes in regulation, intense competition, integration of acquired companies, personnel issues, IT disruptions, and commercial relationship disruptions.
SAM's comprehensive Corporate Sustainability Assessment has a strong focus on long-term shareholder value. The Adecco Group, as a forward-looking entity, acknowledges that statements about the future involve risks and uncertainties. The company does not assume a duty to update any forward-looking statements.

Note that the selection process involves ranking eligible stocks by sustainability and market metrics, and the methodology is updated regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and ESG factors. This comprehensive and dynamic methodology ensures the DJSI World and Europe indexes reflect the best-in-class companies in sustainability globally and regionally.
As a Fortune Global 500 company, the Adecco Group boasts approximately 33,000 FTE employees and over 5,500 branches in over 60 countries and territories.
