Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	ManpowerGroup discloses that it has "a public commitment ... to conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement" and explains that "our corporate engagement starts at the top," noting that "our CEO is engaged in the World Economic Forum CEO Action Group to advance the Paris Agreement and European Green Deal" while the executive team collaborates with bodies such as "the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and Foretica." These statements indicate a high-level pledge to align external advocacy with climate objectives and reference senior-leadership involvement, suggesting some oversight of how engagement is carried out. However, the company does not disclose any structured governance mechanism—there is no description of a formal review process, monitoring criteria, or board/committee mandate to check either direct lobbying positions or the climate stances of the trade associations it joins—nor does it outline corrective actions when misalignment is found. The absence of details on processes, frequency, or responsible bodies beyond general senior participation means the disclosure remains limited and largely aspirational rather than evidencing a defined system for governing lobbying alignment.

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	ManpowerGroup provides only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It states that it is "actively engaged in WEF CEO Action Group to advance the Paris Agreement and European Green Deal," which signals some indirect lobbying through a multistakeholder forum, but it does not explain whether this involves meetings, submissions, or other concrete channels, nor does it name any specific government bodies or legislators it targets. The company references two high-level policy frameworks—the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal—but offers no detail on particular bills, regulations, or consultations it seeks to influence. Likewise, the objective it describes is framed in broad terms such as supporting "lighthouse projects to innovate solutions to build sustainability skills," without clarifying the precise policy changes or regulatory outcomes it is pursuing. Overall, the disclosures reveal an intention to support global and European climate ambitions but stop short of providing the specific policy, mechanism, and outcome information needed for robust transparency.	1
