Our impact partner.
We have partnered with the B1G1 Business for Good initiative to embed meaningful giving throughout our business.
Every day as we grow and evolve across our sustainable business pillars, we are creating positive impacts in underprivileged societies on a global scale by supporting both economic development and professional empowerment. This ensures we are giving back to the wider community.
Our team is motivated by doing good!
Our partnership with B1G1 enables us to advance the following SDG’s
Our 3 main SDG goals by 2030 are:
10,000 days of education, create 5000 impacts for work and economic growth and plant 10,000 trees
Giving Impacts.
Keep up to date with all the latest impacts we are creating with B1G1 and the difference we are making together around the world.
Talent Roots initiative.
Our team have developed this initiative to play our part in tackling the inequities and inequalities in society and address these issues in the industry in which we work now and in the future.Through our active engagement and through our B1G1 giving, we are supporting sustainable principles and making a stand for change in each of the below pillars. This way we ensure we are supporting DEI, socio-economic development, the environment, and governance on a global scale.
Future Talent.
Supporting the talent of tomorrow. Our team members frequently present and run workshops for underprivileged schools in our local communities and in Africa, while delivering mentorship schemes for these children. We understand that the lack of DEI in the current industry stems from the inequalities and education of the youth.
Through B1G1 and supporting SDG 4 we donate access to education
Transition Talent and smarter hiring.
We work with our clients to understand how they can build more productive teams with our detailed methodology and looking deeper at what an individual has to offer.
By encouraging diversity of thought and allowing a fully inclusive approach to our search, wherever possible, we spend time to coach and mentor professionals (from outside the investment and finance industry) who have the relevant behavioural skills, and career motivations to evolve and rebalance skills to transition into new roles within the sustainable finance industry, regardless of the individual’s background.
Supporting SDG 5 we placed
>50% females in 2022
>65% females in 2023
Human environment.
It’s impossible for anyone to have access to education without first having their basic fundamental needs met. We contribute to projects which target various root causes of social economic injustices, and give to a wide range of environmental preservation projects focussing on SDG 8 and 15!

We are B Corp Certified!
The B Corp Certification process is both rewarding and demanding, requiring significant time and effort. It represents a holistic and transformative journey, where our performance, accountability, and transparency are rigorously evaluated against specific social and environmental criteria across five key pillars: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
“When we set out to build a specialist recruitment business in the sustainability world, we always wanted to do things the right way. We wanted to integrate ethical practices and integrity into our culture, and processes; and we always thought that the B Corp application was the litmus test of how well we were doing. We are thrilled that our boutique company passed and gained the B Corp certification. Looking forwards, we will be continuously reviewing and improving ways to make impacts internally and for our clients and candidates.”
