GreenBizCheck's Green Recruitment Certification Helps:
- Reduce costs and improve bottom line
- Attract new business

- Provide a competitive marketing advantage
With increasing regulation and mandatory carbon emissions reporting, many Government and corporate tenders now require recruitment firms to provide evidence of their environmental policies.

About the GreenBizCheck Program
Firms complete a simple yet thorough online assessment; implement actions until Bronze, Silver or Gold Certification is achieved. Upon attaining a certification level Bureau Veritas, the world's largest certification body, provides a desktop to verify the process. With 250+ 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 actions are implemented. The assessment covers energy, water, waste and recycling, transportation and travel, supply chain sustainability, carbon footprint measurement and offsetting.
