Integrity and compliance

Our reputation is one of our most valuable assets. We protect it by holding ourselves – and everyone we work with – to the highest standards of ethical, responsible and legally compliant conduct.


How we conduct our business


Our business is built on an unwavering commitment to act responsibly, ethically and in compliance with the law and our internal policies. We aim always to follow not only the letter but the spirit of all applicable rules.  This commitment applies to everyone across the Adecco Group - from our Board of Directors and Executive Committee to line managers and colleagues at every level. Our global Integrity and Compliance Program sets our ambition and provides the overarching framework that guides how we work.


Zero tolerance for bribery and corruption


As the world's leading talent, technology and advisory company, we win because of the quality of our services – never through improper means. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in all its forms.  Our global bribery and corruption prevention program sets our standards and procedures, including training, to ensure compliance across the Group. 


The same standards we hold ourselves to


We expect the same commitment to legal and ethical behavior from our business partners. We carefully select third parties and hold them to the same high ethical, social and environmental standards we apply to ourselves – ensuring we are never part of activities that could expose us or our stakeholders to unnecessary risk.


Speaking up


We have built a culture of mutual respect and trust where everyone can seek help, raise concerns and speak up without fear. Our Adecco Compliance and Ethics (ACE) Reporting Tools make it easy to report potential violations of the law, our Code of Conduct, or our internal policies - confidentially and at any time.
