In line with Atlas Professional’s corporate values, we have taken the initiative to o er these services without creating an additional burden on the global carbon footprint. Atlas Professionals is now proud to be able to take their place as the irst and only certi ied Carbon Neutral o shore recruitment provider in Australasia. Playing our part in the global drive to reduce emissions not only aligned with our company values, but was simply the right thing to do. While we are extremely proud of our achievement, externally accrediting our Carbon Neutrality was a signi icant achievement in itself, and obtaining this certi ication was neither quick nor easy to achieve. We engaged Toitū Envirocare, a market leader in carbon measurement, management, and certi ication in New Zealand, to assist and supervise the entire process. Our journey involved identi ication of our carbon footprint across all business operations and the collection of associated relevant data from such activities as lights, vehicles, electricity, refrigerants, waste management, etc. By implementing initiatives and sustainable solutions we were able to reduce speci ic emissions and reduce the risk of unplanned emissions. On completion of a inal audit, we achieved “Carbon Reduce” accreditation. By investing in carbon credits we were able to o set audited emissions. We chose to support initiatives that best aligned with Atlas’ values such as a wind power project in a developing region and a biogas technology initiative. Once these credits were obtained, Toitū Envirocare accredited Atlas Professionals as “Net Carbon Zero”. We think it is fair to say that most energy industry companies are now thinking of ways to improve their carbon footprints. Our journey is not yet over, and we will continue our commitment to ind ways to reduce our impact and would actively encourage any company within the industry to do the same Should your company be looking to become Carbon Neutral, please feel free to get in touch. We would be more than happy to talk to you about what we have learned to help you along the same path.
