Manpower has a strong social responsibility agenda with a focus of making a long-term, meaningful difference in people’s lives across the globe. The company has four specific pillars for its efforts: workforce development, disaster recovery, reaching out to refugees and combating human trafficking. Manpower is a partner with several international programs including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and its ninemillion.org campaign to provide education to the nine million refugee children who are exiled from refugee camps. It is also a leading supporter of the End Human Trafficking Now! campaign and was the first company to sign the Athens Ethical Principles which declares a “zero tolerance” policy for working with any entity, which benefits in any way, from human trafficking.
Early in 2009, Manpower joined efforts with Silatech, a Qatar-based social organization whose mission is to create much-needed jobs and economic opportunities for young people throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Manpower will leverage its global expertise to help Silatech deliver demand-driven and market oriented training and job placement. Also in the region, Manpower has joined forces with the Education for Employment Foundation to improve opportunities for first-time job seekers. For the first, collaborative program, Manpower has helped select a group of young Moroccan women from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in an EFE training program to prepare them for retail sales jobs.
Manpower is also a Global Partner for the Arab International Women’s Forum (AIWF), a non-profit organization based in the UK, that brings together international businesswomen and women community leaders to provide a unique network for them to build their knowledge, develop their business and work potential and promote their organisations.
Accolades for the multinational company include its ranking by Fortune magazine's 500 List: 143rd in the U.S. and 1440th on the Forbes Global 2000 Rank of the largest public companies in the world.
