Join us in celebrating National Earth Day!
Is sustainability an important factor in the culture of your business and across your team of employees? Are you doing enough to make your business more climate conscious?
Adopting pro-environmental practices and implementing sustainability into the policies and procedures of your business will not only make a difference to the planet, but environmental values can also help to attract talent and retain employees with similar values and make your business stand out from other employers!
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day was set up in the United States on 22 April 1970 by environmental activists whose aim was to educate participants and the wider population about the importance of environmental conservation. Over 50 years later, the Earth Day Network (EDN) campaigns bring together more than 1 billion participants annually, making it one of the largest public events worldwide.
What is the EDN’s mission?
Their mission is that everyone, regardless of their race, gender, income or location, have a moral right to a healthy and sustainable environment. They aim to broaden the public’s awareness of concerning environmental factors through activism campaigns, education and public policy.
What are some environmental issues that we face today?
Each environmental issue that we face today is connected human advancement. Some of the main issues include air pollution, climate change, deforestation, energy consumption, plastic pollution and many more.
What can you do to help?
It is equally as important to care for the environment whilst at work as it is at home. It is where we spend most of our time so here are a few ways that you can help;
Taking care of the planet is in everyone’s hands and action must be taken every day. Encourage your employees to be more environmentally friendly.

Changes no matter how big or small will make a difference to the planet and to your business.
You have made the process of taking on my first employee much easier. It was reassuring to have someone to advise on recruitment and the contracts and policies required."
