ISS commits to employ 1,000 refugees in Europe
6th of July 2023
Global facility management business ISS has made a commitment to recruit 1,000 refugees across its European operations over the next three years.
The announcement came at Tent Partnership for Refugee's European Business Summit in Paris, and builds upon the company's on-going commitment to hire, train and upskill immigrants and refugees.
ISS joins dozens of large employers, and some of the best-known brands across Europe including Amazon, Marriott International and Microsoft, in pledging to provide jobs and training to more than 250,000 refugees across Europe over the next three years. Collectively, this marks the most significant set of business commitments ever made to advance the economic integration of refugees.
Last year, with Tent, ISS committed to hire 1,000 refugees in North America by 2025. ISS also signed up to Tent's Sunflower Project, committing to hire, train and mentor Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Spain.
ISS has also entered a new partnership with the ‘All 4 youth Alliance' led by Nestlé on a programme called HONOUR - aimed at training, skilling and providing job opportunities for young Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Germany. During the past year, ISS has hired more than 550 refugees in Europe alone.
Tent is a global network of more than 300 companies committed to supporting the economic integration of refugees.
