Spencer Ogden is proud to work with two impact partners who both support environmental and social development to create a better world for future generations.
Our Partners
The global energy transition highlights the importance of having a positive impact on the environment in which we live and work. As a business who are creating careers to power a sustainable future, we are extremely cognisant of this.
We are proud to partner with: 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.
Spencer Ogden x Seven Clean Seas
71% of the earth’s surface is water and 11m tonnes of plastic enter the ocean every year. Seven Clean Seas (SCS) build scalable solutions for plastic pollution. Starting in Singapore as a community organisation they now have global reach with worldwide funding towards their pioneering ocean and river cleaning technologies. Spencer Ogden have participated in multiple volunteering programmes, clearing beaches in Singapore and most recently we took part on an impact trip to Batam, Indonesia where members of our team witnessed firsthand the on the ground solutions SCS are putting in place to tackle plastic pollution.

This partnership is mutually beneficial to our people, the oceans, and the sustenance of jobs in Asia. We have committed to fight the ocean plastic pollution crisis through plastic offsetting. For every successful candidate placed into a job, Seven Clean Seas will remove 1kg of plastic from the ocean.
Together, we have removed over 10,261kg of plastic since 2021, and have aligned our 2023 target of 6173kg with our corporate growth budget. As we grow, so does our partnership and we look forward to supporting Seven Clean Seas even further in their development.
Spencer Ogden x Cool Earth
Cool Earth’s work with rainforest communities builds education and sanitation infrastructure in Papua New Guinea, the Amazon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), prioritising community-led, adaptable support in each location.
Our support for Cool Earth intertwine’s with the recognition and reward aspect of our culture here at Spencer Ogden, particularly our internal peer-to-peer PACE recognition scheme. For each PACE recognition given globally between peers, Spencer Ogden commits to donating £3 towards supporting Cool Earth’s work in the rainforests. So, every time our colleagues recognise each other’s performance in line with our company (PACE) values, they can be proud to have supported environmental and social change at the same time!
Since our partnership began, we have donated over £9,786; the equivalent of protecting 915 trees, building toilets and sanitation facilities in 2 schools or health centres, or covering enrolment and book costs for over 271 students for a year. Our 2023 goal is to increase our partnership by identifying new ways we can partner to reach our target donation amount of £4,785.
