Our Sustainability and Environmental Impact
Creating positive impact for people, businesses and the planet
Our Commitment to Sustainable Recruitment
At Elements Recruitment, we believe that recruitment should be more than just filling positions; it should create a meaningful impact for individuals, businesses, and the planet. Our sustainability initiatives are catered around reducing waste, re-using resources and supporting causes that foster lasting change in Australia and beyond.
Our name reflects the belief that every business is made up of unique elements, people, values and actions that create long term impact. Caring for the environment is one of ours.
We know recruitment has a footprint and we take responsibility for reducing it. Through conscious choices, responsible operations and active community involvement we run a business that makes a measurable difference for our clients, our candidates and our planet.
Sustainability is not a destination. It is a decision we make every day.
How We Work Sustainably
We see sustainability as part of how we operate every day. By sharing our office floor with others we reduce energy use through shared facilities, lighting and climate control. This approach lowers our carbon footprint and builds a sense of community among businesses.
Our eco friendly operations are designed to minimise waste and promote responsible choices. We opt for tins instead of single use plastics, use recycled materials whenever possible and aim for a paperless workplace. Every small step matters and together we can make a big difference.
We also prioritise sustainable workforce practices by encouraging hybrid work models that reduce commuting emissions. Our team is supported in making sustainable travel choices, ensuring our commitment to the environment extends beyond the office.
We work with partners who refurbish and prepare technology for reuse, which is then donated to rural Cambodia to support digital literacy programs and empower communities.
Reducing and offsetting our carbon footprint
We take responsibility for our environmental impact by focusing on both reduction and offsetting.
