Planting 5 trees for every candidate placed

From March onwards, five trees will be planted every time Odgers Interim places a candidate.

As a business, we are committed to sustainability. Our clients and candidates expect nothing less, given that many of them are involved in major carbon reduction initiatives or other environmental and sustainability-related activities.

We used to present our candidates with a little gift such as a luxury notebook as a token of our appreciation for each candidate placement. However, that no longer sits well with us as we strive to go paperless.

Forests help stabilise the climate by absorbing CO₂ emissions, which is why we jumped at the chance to partner with Treeapp which is working hard to reverse the effects of deforestation. Treeapp has tree-planting sites across the globe, including one in the UK, and its projects are tailormade to benefit local populations and native wildlife.

Every time we place a candidate, Treeapp will plant five trees at a geographically appropriate site. It’s something we feel good about as a business and we are confident clients and candidates will be happier to associate Odgers Interim with sapling leaves rather than the leaves of a notebook. After all, saving the planet is in everybody’s interests.

Planting trees to reduce Odgers Interim’s carbon footprint dovetails with our other sustainability initiatives. And we are delighted that this ‘tree-mendous’ idea has taken root in our organisation.
