ESG
/
Pertemps continues to champion opportunities for all. A sustainable, long-term approach that serves the diversity of the communities in which we are present is central to our strategy.
We work in partnership with community groups at local level, as well as wider support networks, to help those furthest from the jobs market and use our experience and expertise to leverage opportunities.
We will continue to contribute, both locally and nationally, in initiatives to help establish, strengthen, support and protect community relations.
Our partnership with more than 50 charities helps us promote a diverse and inclusive culture, not just within our own organisation, but also for our clients and the candidates we work with to find them new roles.

We continue to provide a monthly drop-in service and one-to-one support for the homeless, delivering workshops and helping create job opportunities for them.
Pertemps, like any major business, has an impact on the environment. We are committed to understanding what that means in our everyday lives and making every effort to minimise that impact to protect future generations. Among other initiatives, we are working to offset carbon emissions, reduce energy use, cut our vehicle fleet’s consumption and increase waste recycling.
We know we must demonstrate to everyone – colleagues, clients, candidates, suppliers, industry bodies and regulators, among others – that our ESG policies and procedures are not just ‘on paper’ but are truly effective. We are committed to this and will regularly update on our performance.
