At Strong Search, we are committed to operating our business in an environmentally responsible and socially conscious manner. This Sustainability Policy outlines our commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical business practices that contribute to a sustainable future.
At Strong Search, we recognise our responsibility to minimise our environmental impact and operate in a way that supports a more sustainable future. As a global recruitment partner, we may not manufacture goods, but we know our day-to-day choices, operations, and partnerships still leave a footprint. This policy sets out our commitment to reducing that footprint while supporting people and businesses who share the same values.
• Operate a "digital-first" approach, reducing reliance on paper and physical resources.
• Minimise single-use plastics in our office and encourage recycling across all operations.
• Monitor and reduce energy consumption in our offices, ensuring lights are on timers, equipment and heating are used efficiently.
• Where possible, select suppliers with strong sustainability credentials.
We selected our new Poole office at The Foundry for its outstanding environmental credentials—BREEAM "Excellent" rating and EPC A energy efficiency score aplaceforchange.co.uk. The building's well-insulated, naturally ventilated design supports better energy use and sustainability.
• Promote remote meetings to minimise unnecessary travel.
• Encourage the use of public transport, car sharing, and other low-impact options when travel is essential.
• Work with suppliers and partners who demonstrate ethical and sustainable practices.
• Factor sustainability into decisions on services, technology, and office resources.
• Involve our team in sustainability initiatives and encourage personal responsibility in everyday practices.
• Provide training and awareness so sustainability becomes embedded in our culture.
• Review this policy annually to ensure it reflects best practice and continues to align with our values.
• Set achievable goals for reducing environmental impact and report on progress where appropriate.
Our aim is to grow Strong Search responsibly, delivering world-class recruitment solutions while reducing our environmental impact and creating a positive legacy for our clients, colleagues, and community.
We recognise that every business decision has an environmental footprint. From the office spaces we choose to the way we travel, the technology we use, and the suppliers we partner with, each decision is an opportunity to operate more sustainably.
Sustainability at Strong Search isn't a tick-box exercise; it's part of how we scale. By embedding eco-conscious thinking into our culture and daily operations, we want to demonstrate that a high-performing recruitment partner can also be a responsible one.
