allow others to...
In this context, might 'allow' not be a better word?
Anyway, as Humbird points out, this is just a slightly archaic causative construction.
xx をして xx させる is the same as xx に xx させる

have (others) do something
をして is always proceded by a verb in your case 収集(する) and 蓄積(する), and preceded by a person (or quite rarely some animated matters). This is Japanese form of "causative" verb or adverb.
Although a bit archaic, we see this quite often in legal and other formal documents.

: 「他人をして行わしめたり」と理解すれば使役で、社員が会社の物品を自らあるいは自分に従う第三者を利用して浪費することを禁じている、ということだと思います。
