Ranking first among HR service providers, Randstad achieved top marks in critical areas including labor practices, customer responsiveness, transparency and reporting, and materiality. Its score of 81 out of 100 significantly surpassed the industry average of 33.

Established in 1999, the DJ BIC recognizes top-performing companies in each industry that demonstrate responsible performance across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Randstad has integrated the pursuit of a better, more sustainable future into all its business operations. To further enhance this impact, the company recently refreshed its sustainability strategy, focusing on three interconnected pillars under the 'Partner for talent' framework:

1. Partner for fair and equitable labor
2. Integrity partner
3. Partner for a better planet

These pillars serve as guiding principles for addressing global societal needs and reflect the company's commitment to making the world of work better for all stakeholders.

Myriam Beatove Morell, Chief Human Resources Officer and Chair of the Sustainability Committee at Randstad, commented: 'We are incredibly proud to be included in the DJ BIC for the 11th consecutive year. This recognition reflects our purpose-led approach to driving sustainable practices that benefit both our business and society as a true partner to our clients, talent, and employees. Whether advocating for fair labor, operating with the highest integrity, or pushing toward net-zero targets for a better planet, this is a collective effort. I want to thank all our colleagues for their dedication to making Randstad a more sustainable and impactful organization.'

Additionally, Randstad was recognized as the second highest-scoring company in the Netherlands by the 'Futureproof Index' (conducted by Rotterdam School of Management, Nyenrode Business University, and The Futureproofing Institute), further validating its commitment to creating an impact in the working world and local communities.

Randstad has chosen to focus on five of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Gender Equality (SDG 5), and Quality Education (SDG 4). Furthermore, regarding Climate Action (SDG 13), the company is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 1.5°C goal and setting science-based targets to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
