Green Recruitment Certification

With increasing regulation and mandatory carbon emissions reporting, many Government and corporate tenders are now requiring recruitment firms to provide evidence of their environmental policies.

Recruitment Extra (wholly owned by Thomson Reuters - one of the world's largest publishing houses) has teamed up with environmental certification company GreenBizCheck to provide the recruitment industry with a credible, practical environmental assessment and reporting program which provides firms with a world-leading, low cost, independent certification.

Firms complete a simple yet thorough online assessment; implement actions until Bronze, Silver or Gold Certification is achieved. The program has been scrutinized by universities, environmental agencies, governments, major corporations and many SME's. With over 200 potential environmental actions designed expressly for office-based business, the GreenBizCheck program offers a 100% guarantee that firms will at the very least save the cost of certification if recommended measures are implemented.

The assessment broadly covers the reduction of energy and water usage, waste and other carbon intensive activities. Besides bottom line savings, environmental credentials give rise to a multitude of marketing and PR opportunities and help attract and retain increasingly eco-savvy clients and staff.

Some of GreenBizCheck's top green office action items include:

  1. Switch off all lights when not in use (especially at night, weekends, holidays)
  2. Turn off all IT equipment and other electrical appliances when not in use
  3. Make sure all electrical items are switched off at the power point when not in use for extended periods
  4. Disable screen savers as they actually often tend to use more energy
  5. Make sure the heating and cooling are not set too hot or too cold
  6. Walk, ride a bike or take public transport to work
  7. Teleconference rather than make unnecessary trips
  8. Recycle everything you can
  9. Strive to operate a paperless office
  10. Install a water filter instead of purchasing bottled water.

Recruitment firms that take action now, rather than wait for inevitable increased Government regulation or market pressure will find themselves with a topical market differentiation factor that also saves both money and resources.
