Adopting measures to reduce its global carbon footprint, Manpower Inc. has avoided 400,000 pounds of CO2 emissions by holding its annual Global Leadership Team meeting virtually, which reduced air travel by one million miles, according to the company’s 2009 corporate responsibility report.
The global employment services firm says it has made several strides in creating a greener work culture in 2009. As an example, the company’s world headquarters in Milwaukee achieved the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.
