At Talent Nation, we believe every individual can have a real impact on the world around them. As Australia’s leading sustainability and environmental recruitment agency, purpose sits at the heart of everything we do, and seeking ways to benefit people, communities and the planet is a core aspect of our business.
We actively engage with a range of great organisations and initiatives aiming to solve the world’s biggest environmental and social challenges.
Partner of B Lab
Talent Nation is part of a growing community of mission-focused organisations from all over the world, reinventing business by balancing people and the planet with profit. As one of the founding Australian companies to become a certified B Corporation through B Lab, we voluntarily meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Our Social Procurement framework is central to our work as a sustainability recruitment agency, and we actively seek ways to give back to our communities through pro-bono services to organisations in the Not for Profit and Social Enterprise sectors.
Put simply, B Corp is to businesses what fair trade is to coffee – it represents our commitment to using business as a force for good.
Climate Active Carbon Neutral Certified
As Australia’s leading sustainability and environmental recruitment agency, Climate Active certification legitimises our commitment and accountability of being a NetZero organisation.
The Climate Active mark identifies that Talent Nation has undertaken a rigorous journey to carbon neutrality. By partnering with us, you are supporting a business that is tackling climate change by reducing our emissions and investing in indigenous Australian offset projects, our communities and the local environment.
With a certification date of December 2021, Talent Nation continues to shape and lead the recruitment sector by gaining Climate Active certification.
Member of 1% for the Planet
We have always been committed to meeting a higher standard of accountability to our planet. To further support this, we have made a commitment to give 1% of our gross sales each year to approved nonprofit partners dedicated to the restoration and preservation of our world.
1% for the Planet is a global movement, bringing like-minded businesses and individuals together so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems.
Signatory of the UN Global Compact
The UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 9,500 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries. This global movement is founded on the belief that principles and profit go hand in hand, and that collaboration, innovation and responsible business practices can bring about powerful change in markets and societies.
As a Signatory of the UN Global Compact, we are dedicated to operating responsibly and helping shape the world’s sustainability agenda. In supporting the UN Global Compact, we are able to take real action towards ending extreme poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change.
Involvement in the Banksia Foundation
We are keen supporters of the Banksia Foundation, with Richard Evans, our Managing Director, currently serving as Deputy Chair on the board. The not-for-profit organisation is dedicated to working with the government, industry and community to focus on the recognition of excellence in sustainability.
The Foundation’s prestigious awards program, the Banksia Sustainability Awards, introduces a new way of recognising Australia’s sustainable excellence under the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, and is the longest-running program of its kind in Australia.
Partner of One Girl
As a One Girl Business Changemaker, we support young women in education and skills development, giving them the tools to create a better future for themselves – and for the planet.
By working together, we can help build a smarter, fairer and more sustainable world, one girl at a time, empowering young girls to lead the way in mitigating the climate crisis. For every person we help into a job in Australia and New Zealand, a girl in Sierra Leone or Uganda is given access to a full education.
