Welcome to Turning Green the specialist recruitment firm focused on placing talent into sustainability, climate change and environmental roles. The July 2010 e-newsletter edition considers the views of our new Prime Minister particularly in the area of policy changes to the Renewable Energy Targets and we look at the reality of getting energy efficiency right to fuel job growth in this area.
In each edition we will profile sectors, real jobs that exist within these sectors, sourcing strategies, an overview of our available candidates in a myriad of disciplines plus other available technologies. We will take you on an economic, social and environmental journey through green recruitment in the corporate world.
You will discover that the term ‘green-to-gold’ is not just a buzz phrase people are throwing around – it is real, and by turning green, the bottom line can actually grow. Most of us want to be more sustainable and save resources both at home and in the workplace but it can be hard to know where to start. Through understanding your touch points and where you can make a difference in your work, we can help you to manage your career in a more sustainable manner.
We are excited to have commentary from Mirvac, Telstra and the Sustainable Learning Institute and also Simon Carter's new presentation - hot off the pressA Convenient Truth a focus on what IS progressing in the world, rather than what isn't. We also preview a sustainable house and how our decisions can increase demand for skills in this burgeoning area of green architecture.
