Today the results have been announced of the 2016 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) review. Randstad is proud to be included again as a member in the Professional Services industry of the DJSI world and DJSI Europe indices.

The areas where Randstad was assessed as best in class by RobecoSAM are Customer Relationship Management and Labor Practice Indicators and Human Rights. Randstad CEO Jacques van den Broek comments: 'I am proud that, in the context of sustainability, our efforts in labor practices, human rights and customer relationship management are considered best in class and that we continue to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. It shows that our mission of shaping the world of work contributes to a more sustainable world.'
