This label is based on nine values adopted by Adecco Morocco:
- Respect for human rights
- Continuous improvement of working conditions and professional relations
- Environmental protection
- Prevention of corruption
- Respect for the rules of fair competition
- Transparency of corporate governance
- Respect for customers' interests
