At #TeamBSS, we believe in creating a positive impact—not just through public sector recruitment but also for our planet. That’s why we’re proud to announce that BSS is officially a Carbon Neutral Business, certified by Carbon Neutral Britain.
🌱 Our Carbon Neutral Commitment
In 2024, we took a significant step in our sustainability journey by measuring, reducing, and offsetting our entire carbon footprint—from office operations to business travel. Through our partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain, we’ve invested in certified carbon reduction projects that help restore forests, support renewable energy, and reduce global emissions.
As a public sector recruitment partner, we recognise the increasing commitment across local authorities and government bodies to achieve Net Zero targets. Our carbon neutral plan ensures that BSS remains in alignment with the Public Sector as a carbon neutral partner, supporting sustainability efforts across the industry.
Achieving carbon neutrality is not a one-time milestone—it’s an ongoing promise. Every year, we will continue to assess our impact, take action to reduce emissions, and invest in initiatives that contribute to a cleaner, greener world.
✅ How We Achieved Carbon Neutral Status
Becoming a Carbon Neutral Business involved a three-step process:
🔍 Measure – We calculated our total carbon footprint, including energy use, travel, and operational emissions.
♻️ Reduce – We identified ways to cut emissions, such as optimising energy efficiency, reducing waste, and prioritising sustainable business practices.
🌎 Offset – We invested in verified carbon offset projects, including UK forest creation, global reforestation, and renewable energy initiatives that actively remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
🌟 Why Carbon Neutrality Matters
We recognise the urgent need for action on climate change, and our Carbon Neutral Business status ensures that we’re playing our part. By committing to carbon neutrality, we’re contributing to:
🌿 Climate Action – Offsetting emissions helps combat global warming and balance the carbon cycle.
💨 Cleaner Air – Supporting clean energy and reforestation projects reduces pollution and improves air quality.
🔄 Sustainable Energy – Investing in renewable energy accelerates the transition away from fossil fuels.
🌍 Biodiversity & Conservation – Carbon offset projects protect and restore forests, wetlands, and natural habitats.
👥 Community Impact – Many projects provide jobs, education, and sustainable income to communities worldwide.
🔗 Beyond Offsetting: A Sustainable Future
While offsetting is essential, we’re also actively working to cut emissions at the source by:
🌱 Implementing Sustainable Office Practices – Reducing waste, minimising single-use plastics, and optimising energy consumption.
🚆 Prioritising Low-Carbon Business Travel – Encouraging remote work, public transport, and carbon-conscious travel choices.
📄 Enhancing Eco-Friendly Operations – Going paperless where possible and sourcing sustainable materials.
We see carbon neutrality as just the beginning of our journey. Our long-term ambition is to work towards Net Zero emissions, ensuring that BSS remains a force for good—both in recruitment and in protecting the planet.
