“ We want to do business in a sustainable way – whether through our advisory services leading to investment decisions, our selection process leading to the spread of knowledge and skills, our promotion of gender diversity, or our internal policies on offsetting our environmental impact.”
Ethos
What drives us
Our vision is to enable a diverse, global workforce that will drive the world’s transition to sustainable energy.
To achieve this, we support our clients’ entry into emerging offshore wind, onshore wind and solar markets in a sustainable manner, and improve diversity within the sector.
We are committed to attracting and placing the most diverse range of candidates globally, and this is reflected in everything we do. Our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (DIB) Committee meets regularly to examine all areas of the business and make positive changes to ensure everyone is represented and feels empowered to speak up.
Our business is led by 4 females out of 7 directors, and our multilingual team features 8 nationalities, placing professionals in over 50 countries.
In addition, we:
are members of the OWIC Gender Diversity Strategy Group.
invest in regular diversity training to support our team in a practical way, and recently confirmed a Partnership with Diversity and Inclusion consultancy Voice At The Table.
were awarded Recruiter of the Year 2021 for the second year running, with our commitment to diversity cited as a key asset.

We were recently awarded CarbonNeutral® flights certification from Natural Capital Partners. This certification verifies that we have successfully offset a total footprint of 140 tonnes of carbon emissions associated with our 2019 business-related air travel, within the requirements of the CarbonNeutral Protocol.

In addition, we continue to take steps as a business internally to reduce our carbon footprint in the following ways:
Our office provides state-of-the-art VC facilities and we support flexible working, reducing our need to travel.
We recycle and use recycled good where possible.
Our environmental policy is devoted to a paperless office.
We offer a cycle-to-work scheme for all employees.
We use a local supply chain on procurement of goods and services where possible.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
We’ve raised over £25k ....and counting
In 2012, we committed to undertake a minimum of one fundraising effort a year for amazing causes. This year we’re embarking on an epic global team effort to run / walk / cycle (or practically any other chosen self propelled method!) the distance between our international offices by 28 March 2021 – that’s 26,770km!
This symbols our solidarity as an international team, and will raise valuable funds for life saving and enriching international care charities – Samaritans and IASP.
