Randstad global reporting initiative

-

Sustainability has been one of the core values of Randstad since it was founded. As stated in 1978, we must function in such a way that the interests of all people who are directly and indirectly involved are served.

As we are active in the world of work, this means we have a wide variety of corporate and non-corporate interests to serve. For us, Corporate social responsibility means that we must strive to conduct all our activities, both inside and outside the corporate environment, in a sustainable manner. Read the report

Our role in society
Randstad's interests and those of the wider society have always been one and the same. The prosperity of our business, the economy and society at large are all very much connected to work. As one of the global leaders of an industry dedicated to creating and facilitating work, Randstad is proud of the key role we play in contributing to sustainability, social and economic growth, and well-being around the world.

Striving to lead in shaping the world of work means Randstad plays a key role in shaping a more sustainable future. We are very mindful that our mission brings with it a duty to continue to develop the markets for staffing and other HR services according to the highest standards of fairness, integrity and social responsibility. Doing so not only promotes greater diversity and social cohesion in employment markets but also reduces undeclared work and tax evasion. Countries with higher staffing penetration rates (with more people in the employment market working through staffing agencies) typically have lower unemployment overall and fewer people suffering long-term unemployment in particular. The flexible employment solutions we provide help to address the growing challenges of structural skills shortages, declining population growth and an aging workforce
