Verdant was created to have a positive influence on ESG and Sustainability hiring, we are here to help not hinder, we aim to maximise productivity by positioning the right candidates at the right companies; and in so doing aid the transition to a Net Zero economy.
Pro Bono Recruitment
We regularly provide our services for free to help businesses working directly to combat climate change or improve society, not all organisations can afford to enlist the services of an agency and so if you would like to understand more about this, please contact us.
We are proud to be supporting the Earth Trust both in a recruitment advisory role and also as a corporate member, they are a wonderful sustainability charity, enhancing and influencing the community around them www.earthtrust.org.uk
Giving Back
We understand planting trees and hedgerows is a long term solution to fighting climate change, but it does also support biodiversity in the short term and so for every placement we make we plant a tree or lay part of a hedge.
We also spend charity days volunteering at local environmental charities.
While we can't claim to be a Net Zero business yet, we are working towards it, we are powered by renewable energy, we minimise all waste and resource usage.
If you would like to know more or enquire about our pro bono recruitment for your business, please reach out.
