A statement of support from Manpower Inc. on the declaration of “Ethical principles against trafficking in human beings, especially women and children.”
As a global corporation and one of the world’s largest non-government employers, Manpower Inc. fully supports the declared principles against the trafficking of human beings.
Manpower’s business is about helping to give every willing and able person access to, and the resultant benefit of, decent work. Our efforts toward this end include working with governments and international organizations to provide efficient and effective employment systems, and with individuals to improve their skills and access to jobs.
The illegal and immoral trafficking of human beings is one of the most reprehensible acts imaginable, and we stand firmly against these practices. Our position on non-exploitation extends to every human being in our global society.
We are a people business and our value proposition to customers is deeply rooted in connecting the right people with the right jobs. We take our role in the world labor market very seriously and our ethical code of business conduct requires that we treat all people with respect and dignity, and we expect the same of all organizations with which we do business.
We will never knowingly trade with or deal with any organization that, knowingly or unknowingly, takes advantage of trafficked human beings or causes trafficking to take place, and we will rigorously enact our zero tolerance policy on this issue.
Manpower commits itself to the achievement, on a global basis, of these principles.
