Going beyond transactional recruitment

<h2>Going beyond transactional recruitment</h2>

In a landmark moment for the global energy transition, the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) agreed to transition away from fossil fuels, triple renewable power and double energy efficiency by 2030. The right talent with the right skills will be key to the energy transition. Spencer Ogden set the standard; we were the first recruitment business to focus on the renewables sector which accounts for over 70% of our business. Along with Sustainability our other two core sectors; Natural Resources and Infrastructure are a continuing part of the energy value chain. The global energy transition is an extremely important and ambitious undertaking, and our depth of experience enables us to partner with and advise our clients who are on this journey.

The Global Energy Transition

We have been setting the PACE since 2010. Our core values: People, Accountability, Collaboration and Excellence have guided us to become the award-winning market leading business that we are today.

As a business cognisant of our impact on the environment and one that is working towards a sustainable future, we are proud to work with two impact partners: Seven Clean Seas, a Bali-based Ocean impact organisation dedicated to ridding the oceans of plastic pollution and Cool Earth; a UK based charity which works with rainforest communities to halt deforestation, increase carbon storage potential, and develop the local community. Read more about our partnerships and the work we are doing with both organisations.

Our Denver office&rsquo;s electricity supply runs solely from 100% wind-sourced renewable energy. &nbsp; Additionally, as of 2021, we are a carbon neutral business. As we continue our development in the renewable energy industry, we understand the value in integrity of environmental consciousness in business. That is why we have also added the below initiatives to reduce our environmental impact: 
<ul>
<li>Established an ESG Committee with global, cross-departmental, and multi-level representation</li>
<li>Outlined a clear sustainable travel policy governing the requirements of essential business travel</li>
<li>Assigned Energy Champions in each region to lead our transition to green energy</li>
</ul>
