ManpowerGroup Named One of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the 16th Time

Global workforce solutions leader recognized for advancing ethical business practices while helping organizations and individuals navigate unprecedented workplace transformation

MILWAUKEE, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup announced today that it once again has been recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. This marks the 16th time ManpowerGroup has received the distinction, and the company remains the only one in its industry to be recognized for more than 15 years for playing a critical role in driving positive change in societies and communities around the world.

"In a world experiencing unprecedented transformation, we have both an opportunity and responsibility to shape a future of work that puts people at the center," said ManpowerGroup Chair & CEO Jonas Prising. "Through our focus on upskilling to support people to embrace emerging technologies, and our approach to ethical AI, we are committed to growing our business and creating more value for our clients and candidates, while also ensuring meaningful, sustainable employment remains a powerful force for positive change."

"This recognition is testament to the dedication of our 29,000 employees around the world across our three global brands – Manpower, Experis, and Talent Solutions," Ruth Harper, ManpowerGroup Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer said. "For us, running an ethical and sustainable business means improving people's employability and helping people prosper in a future of work that will be more digital and increasingly green. We are proud to partner with others that share these values and remain committed to leading by example – accelerating action and ensuring we continue to create lasting value for all stakeholders."

"Congratulations to ManpowerGroup for achieving recognition as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies®. Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process," said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere's Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair.

The World's Most Ethical Companies® assessment is grounded in Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which requires companies to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics; environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by a panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year's group of applicants. This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.

In 2025, 136 honorees were recognized spanning 19 countries and 44 industries. To view the full list of this year's World's Most Ethical Companies® and methodology, visit: worldsmostethicalcompanies.com/honorees.
