Environment

Fully supporting bright green advancements.

As a service organization, our environmental impact might be small compared to that of manufacturing industries. But that doesn't mean we overlook the many ways we can go green. Whenever possible, we incorporate eco-friendly initiatives into our business practices.

We continue to explore opportunities to minimize our impact on the environment by encouraging colleagues to embrace technology, such as e-mail, teleconferencing, net meetings, webinars and video conferencing to reduce unnecessary travel. In our offices nationwide, we implement programs that reduce the use of energy and resources such as paper, and promote recycling.

In 2007, Manpower moved into its newly constructed world headquarters, a state-of-the-art green building in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This energy-efficient building represents a triumph of environmental vision and execution, and was recently recognized with Gold Status under the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system - the first new building in Milwaukee to earn that distinction. The LEED Green Building Rating System, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), serves as the benchmark in green building design, construction, operation and maintenance.

Our world headquarters now establishes a benchmark for all future Manpower office developments around the world - furthering our commitment to environmental stewardship.
