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.
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 the Supply Chain Sustainability School
The Supply Chain Sustainability School is an industry-wide collaboration with the goal of creating socially, environmentally and economically sustainable supply chains for property, construction and infrastructure organisations in Australia and New Zealand through open access to educational resources.
With the support of partners like Talent Nation, the school offers high-quality, free-to-use online learning resources that enable the built environment sector to raise the standard on sustainable procurement and management.
Partner of Business Council for Sustainable Development Australia (BCSDA)
BCSD Australia is a CEO-led organisation of more than 40 Australian businesses and non-governmental bodies working together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world by aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and acting on climate change.
Collectively, we drive systemic transformation and advocate for action by partnering with governments, non-governmental and intergovernmental organisations in order to make sustainable business more successful.
